other machine known as the footer in order to knit the foot portion onto said leg portion.
Also, in the manufacture of that type of stock- 1 ing wherein the body thereof is knitted as a continuation of a special welt, it is necessary to transfer said welt made on a special machine onto the stocking knitting machine so that the body of the stocking may be knitted onto the welt. 7
Likewise, according to a more recently developed method of manufacturing stockings wherein heel tabs are knitted directly onto, and as continuations of, the high heel portions of a combination leg and foot blank, and the sole portions of said blank are interknitted with said heel tabs as the knitting thereof progresses, it is necessary to transfer the combination legand foot blank onto a knitting machine which has become known in the trade as a heeler.
drivemechanism, and a pattern control mechanism, all of which are relatively-associated and co-furiction to render the knitting'machine fully automatic in that no manual operation is needed after the machine has once been set into operation to knit additional fabric onto a plurality of The transfer of pre-fabricated fabric has here- I tofore been generally accomplished by manual operation, which consumes considerable time and involves technical procedure. Moreover, in order to effect. the transfer operation in accordance I with the common practice, it is. necessary to stop theknitting machine after each press-off operation so that the yarn may be-pulled out, broken,
and hung into aclamping device, after which the machine is again started.
It is, therefore, the primarypurpose of-the" invention to provide a fully automatic knitting machine, that is, a knitting machine which, once set into operation, will continue towork repeatedly without interruption to feed prefabricated blanksi transfer such" blanks, knit -additional fabrics, and press of! the flnished'product.
It isv also an important object of the invention to provide a knitting-machinedwith mechanisms, such asla knitting mechanism, a loop transfer (mechanism, a fabric narrowing mechanism,v a
