Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for making patterned deep pile knitted fabrics and to novel fabric constructions adapted to be manufactured commercially through the use of the improved apparatus.
  • the invention is concerned particularly with the production of longitudinally extending, or walewise, pattern effects such as stripes in circular knit deep pile fabrics.
  • body yarns are supplied to the hook portions of the knitting needles of a circular 3,413,823 Patented Dec. 3, 1968 ice knitting machine at each of a plurality of feed stations located at intervals about the periphery of the needle cylinder and pile fibers having different characteristics are selectively supplied to the hook portions of individual ones of the needles just prior to the point at which each body yarn is supplied.
  • each needle is actuated in the conventional manner to form a body yarn stitch having the pile fibers protruding therefrom.
  • Carding apparatus located at each feed station takes fibers from a plurality of slivers and delivers fibers from the respective slivers to axially spaced portions of a doffer disposed adjacent the periphery of the needle cylinder.
  • the individual knitting needles move successively past one portion of the doffer and then the other portion of the doffer in their travel toward the adjacent body yarn feed station.
  • the individual knitting needles are provided with laterally protruding butt portions, and stationary cam means are disposed in proximity to the periphery of the rotating needle cylinder at each feed station in position to be contacted by the needle butts to control the positions of the needle hooks with respect to the doffer.
  • Selectivity in fiber pickup is achieved through the use of needle butts of different lengths and an arrangement of cam surfaces capable of causing the needles to follow different paths. For example, long butt needles may be moved into contact with one portion of the doffer to pick up fibers therefrom, short butt needles may be moved into contact with the other doffer portion, and needles bearing butts of an intermediate length may be brought into contact with both of the doffer portions.
  • One of the novel fabrics capable of being produced through the use of this apparatus is a deep pile fabric that simulates in appearance and texture a natural fur piece formed by seaming together animal pelts.
  • the desired effects are achieved by attaching to different Wales 0f the base fabric different pile fiber contents.
  • Some Wales have projtecting therefrom only short, light-colored pile fibers; some have only long, dark-colored pile fibers; and some have both the short, light-colored fibers and the long, dark-colored fibers.
  • Controlled wale-to-wale pile density variations also play an important role in giving the fabric the proper feel characteristics.
  • Another particularly desirable deep pile fabric capable of being produced in accordance with the invention is a longitudinally striped fabric in which the stripe effect is accentuated by attaching to the body yarn stitches defining one edge of each of the stripes an extra quantity of pile fibers. These extra quantities of pile of one color strengthen the color-change effect at the stripe boundaries.
  • FIGURE 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic plan view illustrating a circular knitting machine constructed in accordance with the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic elevational view depicting one of the pile fiber carding and feeding units of the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view through a portion of the needle cylinder of the apparatus of FIGURE 1, illustrating the operative relationship between a knitting needle and the doffer of one of the pile fiber carding and feeding units;
  • FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of the cam means for controlling the positions of the knitting needles relative to the fiber supplying doffer at one of the feed stations, portions of the needles and the doffer being shown to indicate the effects produced by the various cam surfaces;
  • FIGURE 5 is a line diagram showing the paths followed by the diiferent types of knitting needles as they pass through one of the feed stations on the machine;
  • FIGURES 6, 7 and 8 are perspective views of individual ones of the cam members of the assembly shown in FIG- URE 4;
  • FIGURES 9 and 10 are vertical cross-sectional views illustrating the effects produced by the various cam surfaces on needle butts of different lengths.
  • Stationary frame means suggested at 2 serves to support a rotating needle cylinder 4 carrying vertically reciprocable knitting needles 6 in slots or grooves on its periphery.
  • the knitting needles 6 are moved upwardly in sequence to receive in their hook portions pile fibers from a carding and feeding unit 8 and a body yarn 10 from supply means indicated at 12. Then each needle is moved downwardly to draw a loop of the body yarn 10 through a previously formed body yarn loop, to cast off such previously formed loop, and to cause the pile fibers to become interlocked with the body yarn loops.
  • Air jets are directed toward the needles 6 in the customary manner to orient the pile fibers so that they protrude from the body yarn loops toward the interior of the knitted tube.
  • the number of the stations A, B, etc. should be as great as is permitted by space limitations and the like, because the rate of fabric production is a function of the number of feeds and economy is of utmost importance in the manufacture of deep pile knitted fabrics.
  • Four feed stations have been illustrated in FIGURE 1 as exemplary of suitable high production equipment. In practice the invention has been applied successfully in machines having as many as five feeds and operated to produce five courses of knitted stitches during each revolution of the cylinder.
  • Each of the pile fiber carding and feeding units 8 includes a pair of sliver feed rollers 14, a licker-in 16, a main drum 18, a transfer roll 20, and a doffer 22. These components are rotated in the directions indicated by the arrows in FIGURE 2, and all of them except the sliver feed rollers 14 bear conventional card clothing 24 on their peripheries. However, as indicated in FIGURE 1, there is a centrally located gap in the card clothing on each of the components 16, 18, and 22. By reason of these gaps in the card clothing, the unit 8 is divided into two axially spaced apart fiber paths.
  • slivers of difierent types are supplied to each of the units 8.
  • the numerals 26 and 28 have been applied to two slivers that differ from one another in color and/or in some other characteristic.
  • the fibers of the slivers 26 are white and that the fibers in the slivers 28 are gray.
  • the two types of slivers are delivered to axially spaced portions of the feed rolls 14 and the gaps in the card clothing served to keep the fibers from the respective slivers in spaced paths as they move through the unit 8.
  • the card clothing at one end portion 22a of the doifer 22 will be supplied continuously with white fibers from the sliver 26 and the card clothing at the other end porton 22b of the doffer will be supplied continuously with gray fibers from the sliver 28.
  • FIGURES 3 through 10 These views illustrate in some detail the structures located at one of the feed stations, and it will be understood that the other stations are similar.
  • three types of knitting needles are positioned in the slots 30 at the periphery of the needle cylinder 4. All of these needles are provided with laterally extending portions called butts. However some of the butts are longer than others. Some needles 6a have short butts 32, some needles 6b have long butts 34, and some needles 60 have butts 36 of intermediate length.
  • the vertical positions of the knitting needles are controlled by stationary cam means disposed adjacent the periphery of the rotating needle cylinder 4 at each of the stations A, B, etc.
  • a base casting 38 overlies the radially projecting portion of the ring gear 40 to which the needle cylinder 4 is attached.
  • the base casting 38 is fixed, as by screw means 42, to the machine frame 2.
  • the base casting 38 is provided with an upwardly extending annular flange 44 to which the cam means serving the various stations A, B, etc., may be secured.
  • An arcuate cam block 46 is fixed on the base casting 38 at each station as by means of screws 48 (FIGURE 9).
  • the cam block in turn serves as a support for arcuate cams 50, 52 and 54.
  • Another arcuate cam 56 is fastened directly to the inner face of the flange 44 on the base casting 38 at each of the stations A, B, etc.
  • the spacial relationships between the edges of the cams 50, 52, S4 and 56 and the periphery of the needle cylinder 4 are related to the lengths of the needle butts 32, 34 and 36.
  • the short needle butts 32 can be acted upon only by the surfaces of the innermost cams and 56.
  • the intermediate length needle butts 36 protrude outwardly from the cylinder far enough to be acted upon by the surfaces of an additional cam 54, and the long needle butts 34 extend into the zone of action of still another cam 52.
  • the path of a needle 6a having a short butt 32 will be considered first. This path is designated 57 in FIGURE 5. As the needle 6a moves into the vicinity of the doffer 22, its butt 32 will contact an inclined surface 58 on the cam 56 and the needle 6a will be moved upwardly in its slot 30 (FIGURE 3) on the needle cylinder 4 to a position such that the hook portion 60 at the upper en of the needle is just below the card clothing 24 on the doffer section 22a. The needle 6a retains this elevation throughout its traverse of the doifer section 22a, so that its hook portion 60 does not enter the card clothing to pick up white pile fibers therefrom.
  • the needle 6a is given another lift as its butt 32 rides up along an inclined surface 62 of the cam 56. This additional lift positions the hook portion 60 of the needle 61; at a level such that it may enter the card clothing 24 on the dofier section 2212 to pick up gray fibers therefrom.
  • the needle 6a is retained in its fully elevated position by frictional engagement with the walls of its slot 30 in the needle cylinder and by the holding action of a spring 64 disposed in a circumferential slot 66 (FIGURE 3) in the needle cylinder 4.
  • a needle 6b having a long butt 34 is designated 68 in FIGURE 5.
  • the needle 61 moves into the vicinity of the doffer 22, its butt 34 will contact an inclined surface 70 on the cam 54 and the needle will be moved upwardly in its slot 30 on the needle cylinder 4 far enough to permit its hook portion to enter the card clothing 24 on the dotfer section 22a, so that white pile fibers will be picked up by the hook portion of the needle.
  • the path of a needle 60 having a butt 36 of intermediate length is designated 75 in FIGURE 5.
  • the initial portion of the path 75 is the same as the initial portion of the path 68 followed by the long butt needles 6b.
  • the butt 36 on each needle 6c contacts the inclined surface 70 on the cam 54 and the needle 60 is elevated far enough to permit entry of its hook portion into the card clothing 24 on the doffer section 22a.
  • the intermediate length butt 36 is not long enough to reach to the cam 52. Consequently, the needle 6c is not lowered by the inclined Surface 72 on the cam 52 and such needle remains in an elevated position as it moves by the second doffer section 221).
  • the knitting needles of the different types 6a, 6b, and 6c acquire different pile fiber loads as they traverse the doffer 22. Since effective fiber pickup can be achieved only when the hook portions of the needles are actually inserted into the card clothing on the doifer, the short butt needles 6a acquire few if any of the white fibers carried by the doifer section 22a but they do pick up the gray fibers carried by the dotfer section 22b. Similarly, the fiber load acquired by each of the long butt needles 6b consist substantially of the white fibers supplied by the doffer section 22a. The needles 6c of the third type cooperate effectively with both of the doffer sections 22a and 22b, picking up both white fibers and gray fibers.
  • An upwardly inclined surface 76 on the cam 56 contacts all of the needle butts 32, 34 and 36, and the various knitting needles are raised in whatever amounts may be required to position them at the proper level for receiving the body yarn in their hook portions 60.
  • a downwardly inclined surface 78 on the upper cam 50 guides all of the needle butts down along a similarly inclined surface 80 on the cam 56, and then a conventional stitch cam 82 is contacted by all of the needle butts.
  • the hook portions of the knitting needles move downwardly between adjacent ones of the sinkers 86 carried by the sinker ring 88 in the conventional manner, so that a loop portion of the nearly supplied body yarn 10 will be drawn through a previously formed loop which rides up over the needle latch and is cast off.
  • the sinker cap 90 and the other components associated with the sinkers 86 are conventional and they need not be described here in detail.
  • the needles 6 are disposed about the periphery of the needle cylinder 4 in repeating groups of twenty-five needles each. Within each group or repeat the order or sequence of needles of different types is as follows:
  • the slivers 26 are made up of three denier artificial fibers cut to one inch staple lengths and having a white or very light gray color.
  • the slivers 28 are made up of twenty-four denier artificial fibers cut to two inch staple lengths and having a darker gray color.
  • the use of acrylic or modified acrylic fibers has been found to be particularly suitable.
  • fibers of the type sold under the trade designation Orlon were used in the sliver 26, and fibers of the types sold under the trade designation Verel were used for the sliver 28.
  • the Orlon sliver 26 was slightly heavier than the Verel sliver 28, the weight ratio being approximately sixty to forty.
  • a ten ounce Dynel body yarn 10 may be employed.
  • the short butt needles 6a pick up only the relatively long and relatively heavy fibers of the darker shade supplied by the slivers 28.
  • the long butt needles 6b pick up only the relatively short and relatively lightweight fibers of lighter shade supplied by the slivers 26.
  • the medium butt needles 60 pick up fibers from both of the slivers 26 and 28, so that they are loaded with a fiber blend. Being in contact with the fiber supplying portions of the doffer 22 for a much longer time interval than the needles 6a or 612, the medium butt needles 6c acquire charges of significantly greater density than the charges acquired by the short butt needles 6:: or the long butt needles 6b.
  • the knitted tube formed on the knitting machine will have the pile fibers disposed on the interior face of the tube.
  • This pile will vary in fiber content in accordance with the needle sequence described above.
  • a single coursewise repeat of the pattern will include longitudinal rows of the following widths and fiber contents: four wales containing only the short white fibers from the slivers 26; one wale containing a greater fiber content made up of fibers from both the slivers 26 and the slivers 28; four wales containing only the short white fibers from the slivers 26; eight wales containing the heavy blend; four wales containing only the long darker fibers from the sliver 28; and eight Wales containing the blend.
  • This tubular fabric is slit longitudinally and then subjected to suitable finishing treatments. Although these treatments are individually well known and need not be described in detail here, it may be helpful to refer briefiy to a particular sequence of treatments that has been found suitable in the production of the simulated fur fabric.
  • the backing or body fabric should first be stabilized, as by a heat-setting treatment. Then the pile surface is processed to enhance its appearance. For example, the pile may be sheared, then polished, sheared again, subjected to a silicone spray, polished again, and then given a final shearing treatment.
  • the finished fabric has many desirable characteristics.
  • the pile fibers of different lengths and shades give blend effects much like those which are observed in the natural pelts used for fur garments.
  • pile density which appeal to the sense of touch.
  • Most of the fabric wales are formed on the medium butt needles 6c, and the pile in these Wales is composed of short fibers underlying and supporting the longer fibers.
  • the density of the pile carried by the wales formed on the long butt needles 6b and the short butt needles 6a is substantially less.
  • Desirable patterns can be produced when the needle complement for the knitting machine cylinder 4 is composed of needles of only two of the three basic types.
  • One such combination is employed in the production of a novel striped fabric of this invention, and the description of the procedure for making such fabric will serve to illustrate further the patterning potentials of the apparatus.
  • the knitting needles 6 are disposed about the periphery of the needle cylinder 4 in repeating groups of ten needles each. Within each group or repeat, the order or sequence of needles of different types is four long butt needles 6b followed by six short butt needles 6a.
  • the fibers making up the supply slivers 26 and 28 may be similar in denier, length and composition, but contrasting colors are employed.
  • the slivers 26 may be composed of gold colored fibers
  • the slivers 28 may be composed of blue fibers.
  • the fabric produced has a pile surface in which gold stripes four wales wide alternate with blue stripes six wales wide. These stripes extend longitudinally of the fabric.
  • the last of the short butt needles of the set of six encounters card clothing that has given up fibers to each of the immediately preceding five needles.
  • the result is that the first needle of the set of six picks up more fiber than the last of the set of six.
  • the first needle of each set of four long butt needles picks up more pile fiber than the last.
  • the illustrated apparatus may be set up to deliver to a particular doffer section at one of the feed stations fibers that differ from those delivered to the corresponding doffer section at another feed station.
  • the nature of the fibers supplied to a given doffer section may be varied from time to time during operation of the equipment, as for example through the use of the techniques described in the US. Patent 3,122,904 to Brandt.
