'1 Claims.
1 This invention relates to knitting machines and has particular reference to take-up means involved in th production of stockings containing inturned welts. Individual separate stockings may be knit starting with bare needles in accordance with the procedure and utilizing such instrumentalities as are disclosed in the patent to R. W. Scott, No. 1282.958, dated October 29, 1918. In accordance with this procedure, which need not be repeated herein in detail, a non-ravelling selvage is first produced and thereupon loops are transferred to transfer elements which hold the initial courses during the knitting of a hem or welt, there being produced in the formation of this welt a sufficient number of courses to secure the desired length thereof. At the completion of the welt the loops which were held by the transfer elements are returned to the needles and knitting is resumed tying the welt loops into loops at the beginning of the leg so that'a doubled or inturned welt is produced. The welt fold as it is being formed and thereafter has generally been carried away from the needles by gravity with initial assistance by a presser such as shown in said Scott patent. The foregoing method has been satisfactory but it has been recognized that more uniform and perfect stitches might be formed if tension was applied between the stitches being knitted and others previously knitted. Furthermore, more satisfactory results would be obtained if the tension could be applied through a-'sub stantial length of the fabric. In the application of Alexander Belford and Fred A. Kuss, Serial No. 111,484, filed August 20, 1949, now Patent No. 2,574,009, there are provided suitable means for applyin tension to the fabric through the use of take-up rolls which may be caused tostop or to advance at varying speeds as determined by control mechanism, thus to apply a uniform but variable tension to the fabric.
In accordance with the disclosure of said Belford and Kuss application the yarnis not taken entirely out of action between stockings but rather the regular yarn is changed in order that one or more courses of stitches may be knitted from a yarn having sufficient strength for knitting and providing a connection between successive stockings but frail enough to permit the variout finished stockings to be torn apart or separated. Accordingly it is possible to feed the continuous string of stockings at all times to a takeup-remote from the point of knitting;
During the time that the welt or hem is being knitted such a remote take-up is incapable of ex- 2 I A erting tension on the welt section of the fabric since the last course of fabric under the influence of the take-upwill have been removed from the needlesand held by the transfer elements. In accordance with said Belford and Kuss application there is provided a tube located inside of the needle cylinder and stationary with respect to a revolving cylinder (or rotating respect to a stationary cylinder), this tube having at the inside of its upper end one or more baffles having camming action on the welt to effect movement of the fabric as it is produced smoothly away from the needles and their cooperating sinkers in such a manner that neither distorted nor un-, sightly stitches will be produced.
In accordance with the present inventionprovision is made for more effectively lowering welts away from the needles during welt formation, this end being accomplished through the production of pulsating airflow engaging the welts desirably remote from the point of knitting so as to prevent any disturbance of the proper formation of stitches; Associated with the means for producing pulsating air as just described there is an interior tube arranged to provide a space into'which the welt undergoing formation is lowered so that its motion is not impeded'by theportion of a previousstocking which has been knit. As will become apparent hereafter, the invention is applicable not only to the knitting of stockings having inturned welts in a continuous series but also to the knitting of separate stockings in general accordance with the disclosure of said Scott patent.
The general objects of the invention-indicated above and other objects particularly relating 'to details of construction and operation will become apparent from the following description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which: A v
Figure 1 is a vertical section taken through the upperpor'tions of acircular knitting machine to which the invention is applied;
Figure 2 is a section taken on the plane indicated at 22 in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary elevation showing in particular the fabric take-up rolls and their operating devices;
Figure 4 is afra'gmentary sectional view showing in particular a fin 'foraiding in taking up the welt; and 1 Figure 5' is a plan view of the matter illus- I The figures show only those elements of a rotary cylinder circular knitting machine as are required for an understanding of the invention. It will, of course, be understood that this machine contains conventional elements well known to the art and, in particular, reference may be made tosaidscott patent and to said B elford and Kuss .appiicationffor a moi-e rcompleteishowing and "description ofthose elements"particular 1y concerned with welt formation. As will be apparent hereafter various features of the invention are applicable to m'achines ofvthe -stationary cylinder-rotary cam type, but for clarity and consistency of the description? thereiwill be hereafter referred to only a =machine of -the rotary cylinder type.

It will be evident from the above that the existence of tension on the previously formed stocking does not prevent the free and proper movement of the welt W during its formation.
While the invention is particularly applicable to the formation of stockings in a continuous string, it will be evident that by the removal of screws 29, spacers 28 and sleeve 3|, it may also be applied to the knitting of stockings having welts even though the stockings are dropped off at the completion of their individual formations and new stockings are started on bare needles.
