Thisinvention-l relates to: fullefashionedxw or.
other.- straightz kn-itting -macl'xines,- such as r50- utilized for producing full-- called leggers, fashioned hosiery leg blanks, and more particue. larly .-to. n-ovel .means for such machines which will enable them to-wproducetother. improved;
iashionedblanks, such as complete leg-andefoot, or single unit,blanks',-by.-anewmethod.
The... majority. of .1 blanks for full-fashioned stockingsaremade .ontwo machines, a legger and. a f6ote'r, "and .large numbers of standard." leggers are 'being'operated in knitting millsin". These standard full-fashioned this, country. legger machines have threaded spindles capable of 'imparting,,to'the. stopnuts forthe yarn carrier rods movements sufiibientsior single unit.
needs.- However, these machines are not adapted I to makeboth'Lthe leg. and the foot portions of the blank for a stocking, one reason for this being that the means for moving the narrowingcomb's is not designedto permit said combs to travel a. distance required" to perform all the narrowing operations necessary to the production-oi a standard full-Ifashioned stocking. The threaded" portions of the narrowing spindles, if used in the intended manner, are too short when operated to produceacomplete leg-and-foot blank," and if the nuts for the narrowing combs are operated in an attempt to produce such a blank theymay' he accidentally moved beyond the limits to which n these nuts are confinedin the legger machine,- with the result that the nuts are jammed and their preciseadjustment is disrupted.
Full-fashioned hosiery machines of the single unit type, usually have longer frames as well as longer spindles for moving the narrowing combs, so that they can not always 'be installedin the space provided for leggers, even if the owners are willing to substitute one for the other, and sacrifice their investment in the leggers.
Further; the formation of a suitable heel pocket requires that the blank for the "stocking be-widened in the region of the heel. Thishas been done for single unit stockings in a number i of well known-ways. Heel 'pockets produced by widening and narrowing operations of a single unit'machine have certain recognized-advantages? The means for racking the end stop-land narrow-' ingaspindles of ithe standard legger hasnot been considered AVQI} ladapted for such a methoduof:
