Definitions

  • My present invention relates to a manually operated knitting-apparatus comprising a slider for actuating knitting needles arranged in a plane and being distinguished by the provision of at least one freely rotatable body mounted on said slider below the plane of the needles, said body resiliently engaging the needle-bed front surface, parallel to the direction of movement, of the slider from below.
  • Fig. l is a side view, partly in section, of the apparatus which is equipped with latch needles,
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the apparatus with two freely rotatable bodies of revolution
  • Figs. 3 and 4 depict a modification of the bearing body, Fig. 3 being a top plan view, and Fig. 4 being a section on the line IV--IV of Fig. 3,
  • Figs. 5 to 9 illustrate possible modified profiles of the needle-bed front surface
  • Fig. 10 is a top plan view of the apparatus with one freely rotatable body of revolution.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are disposed in a plane the longitudinally movable latch needles 2.
  • the front surface 3 of needle bed 1 is inclined towards the rear from top to bottom, so that the lower edge forms an obtuse angle.
  • Stiff wire rods 20 are fixedly arranged to extend upwardly between the needles.
  • the slider 4 has incorporated in it a mechanism not represented and Well known, which serves for moving the needles to and fro.
  • numeral 5 designates braces fixed to the slider 4, for the two freely rotatable rubber discs 6 and 6;
  • numeral 7 designates a work-inclining plate fixedly mounted to the braces.
  • the rubber discs 6 and 6 are so disposed below the needle plane that they resiliently engage from below the front surface 3 of needle bed 1.
  • the two rubber discs 6 and 6, of course, are symmetrically disposed with respect to the plane of symmetry 13 of slider 4.
  • the ware suspended by its uppermost row of stitches 15 from the needles 2 is loosely held against the front surface 3 of needle bed 1 by plate 7, until it is clamped between the first disc 6 and the front surface 3 and is drawn downwardly, as the disc partially slides and partially rolls on said surface when the slider is moved.
  • the needles 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are pushed forwardly by the aforementioned mechanism incorporated in the slider, the retained loops open the latches 2 and subsequently glide over the same towards the rear of the needles 2d and 2c, so that a fresh thread may be inserted into the foremost hooked portions of the advanced needles 2f-2 l by a thread guide 8.
  • bodies which comprise an elastically yieldable rim, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • a ring 9 through springs 10 is connected to a sleeve 12 which is freely rotatable about an axle 11.
  • rollers may be used of which the peripheral surfaces are urged against the needle-bed underside.
  • Said rollers or discs do not necessarily have to be made of rubber, or otherwise be made elastically resilient, it sufiices when they are correspondingly elastically mounted.
  • the front surface of the needle bed preferably is so shaped that its lower edge forms an obtuse angle with the bottom face, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7.
  • Said front surface could, in an alternative form, he perpendicular to said bottom surface, as shown in Figs. 5 and 8, or be rounded or convex as shown in Fig. 6.
  • Fig. 10 shows an embodiment of the inventive apparatus in which only one rotatable body 6 is provided.
  • the same reference numerals as in Fig. 2 have been used.
  • a manual knitting apparatus comprising a needle bed having a front surface, a plane row of knitting needles disposed on said needle-bed, a slider for actuating said needles to and fro, the improvement defined by mounting on said slider at least one freely rotatable body of revolution disposed below the plane of the row of needles, said body resiliently engaging said front surface.
  • a knitting apparatus as set out in claim 1 in which there is a resilient support on which the body is mounted. 14. In a knitting apparatus as set out in claim 1, means supported by the slider, for holding the knitted ware before the latter is clampedly engaged between said body and said front surface.
