Patented Dec. 21,y 1948 v COMPOUND KNITTING NEEDLE Davis Marinsky, Bronx, N. Y.; Louis H. Morin executor of the Estate of said Davis Marinsky,
deceased Application January 3, 1948, SeralNo. 431
7 Claims.
This invention relates to needles used for knitting. More particularly, the invention deals with a construction of what I term a compound needle, wherein a plurality of needles are disposed one within the other in telescoped relationship, as well as detachable relationship, so that each needle of the assemblage can be independently used and, at all times, a head is provided at one end of the needle tovprevent the yarn from displacement on the needle.
The novel features of my invention will be best understood from the following description, when taken together with the accompanying drawing, in whichcertain embodiments of the invention are disclosed and, zin'which, the separate parts are designatedA by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which:
Fig. 1 is an enlarged longitudinal section through a compound needlemade according to my invention with parts of the construction broken away; and
Fig. 2 is a side view showing one member of the needle partially extended.
In the use of knitting needles, difliculty has been experienced in keeping track of several needles of different sizes, particularly with respect to diameters. The purpose of my invention is to provide what I call a compound needle, wherein a plurality of needles are kept in an assemblage, the separate needles being telescopically detachable one with respect to the other, so that each size needle of the assemblage can be individually used, while at all times, providing on each needle a head, preventing displacement of yarn from the needle.
My improved compound needle comprises three telescoping needle members, namely an inner small diameter solid needle I9, around which is arranged a next larger or intermediate needle I I, outwardly of which is disposed a large diameter needle I2. In constructing the compound needle, the intermediate needle I I has a pressed iit in an enlarged head or ierrule I3, as seen at I4 and, if desired, the parts may be cemented or otherwise secured together. The ferrule has, at one end, a reduced internally threaded sleeve portion I5, in connection with which the threaded end I6 of the outer needle I2 is adapted to be coupled, The ferrule or head I3, has, at its opposite end, a reduced outwardly directed split spring tube extension I 1 formed by diametrically opposed splits, one of which is shown at I8 and the bore I9 of the spring sleeve extension I'I is adapted to rmly engage the shank of the needle II) adjacent the head 20 of said needle. The needle I 0 has a re- (Cl. Gti-117,)
2 duced end portion 2l, which seats in the headf20 and is riveted-over or headed, as seen at 22, in securing the head 20 in position. The head 20 is kept within the diameter of the head or ferrule I3, as will clearly appear from a consideration 'of Fig. 1. Each needle I0, II and I2 terminates at its free end in a bevel'or point IU, II and I2'Ias clearly seen in Fig. 1, so that eachneedle becomes a usable needle in the process of knitting or the like. While the needles may be composed of any desired material, it is preferable that theybe composed of plastic materialandpin this respect, different colored plastics can be employed, for example, the needle I0, including its head 20, may be composed of a blue plastic, the needle II, including the head or furrow I3 can be composed of red and the needle I2 of white or any other contrasting color.
When it is desired to use the needle III, itis simply forcibly removed from the end of the compound assemblage, leaving the needles Il and I2 in their assembled relationship to each other. On the other hand, when it is desired to use a needle of the size defined by the intermediate needle I I, then the needle I2 is simply removed. On the other hand, when the needle I2 is to be used, the complete assemblage will be maintained. With this construction, it is quite apparent that a plurality of needles of different sizes can be maintained in a compact relationship one with respect to the other andthe possibility of loss of needles of dilerent sizes is minimized.
Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A compound knitting needle of the characterdescribed comprising a plurality of telescoping needle members, means at one end of the needle members for maintaining all of the needle members in collapsed assembled relationship one withV respect to the other, said means forming a head for predetermined tubular needle members, the innermost needle member being in the form of a rod, and said innermost needle member having an independent head disposed beyond the first named head,

3. A compound knitting needle of the character described comprising a plurality of telescoping needle members, means at one end of the needle members for maintaining all of the needle members in collapsed assembled relationship one with respect to the other, said means forming a head for predetermined tubular needle members, the innermost needle member being in the form of a rod, said innermost needle member having an independent head disposed beyond the first named head, one of the tubular needle members being permanently secured to the first named head, and another tubular needle member being detachable with respect to the nrst named head.
4. A compound knitting needle of the character described comprising a plurality of telescoping needle members, means at one end of the needle member for maintaining all of the needle members in collapsed assembled relationship one with respect to the other, said means forming a head for predetermined tubular needle members, the innermost needle member being in the form of a rod, said innermost needle member having an independent head disposed beyond the first named head, one of the tubular needle members being permanently secured to the nrst named head, another tubular needle member being detachable with respect to the first named head. and said rst named means including a split sleeve portion tensionally engaging the innermost needle member in retaining the same against accidental displacement from the other needle members.v
