Definitions

  • 66--96 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of cable stitching in knitted fabric by one, two or four transfer points in seven, nine and four transfer and reset motions respectively with sideways transfer motions in selective manner over half gauge needles and dummy needles for varying needle space distance in varying directions so that the cable stitch loops are on three, four or three half gauge needles respectively in half gauge fabric.
  • This invention is for improvements in or relating to straight bar knitting machines and concerns the production of knitted fabric with cable stitch patterning of the kind disclosed in our US. patent application Ser. No. 595,882, which provides a method of cable stitching in a straight bar knitting machine equipped with means for lace patterning which includes lace points adapted for individual and/ or joint use to transfer loops in opposite directions from certain needles to other needles of the machine, which method consists in adapting a predetermined small number of lace points to cooperate with a small group of a predetermined greater number of adjacent needles, between consecutive knitting operations, and to transfer, by opposite transfer motions of the same predetermined small number of the lace points over predetermined numbers of needle distances, yarn loops originally on needles at each side of the group of needles to the other side of the group in a number of transfer and reset operations which is the minimum possible according to the number of points used and the number of needle distances elected for the transfer motions of the number of points.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a method of cable stitching of such improved form as to be suitable for half gauge work.
  • the invention provides a method of cable stitch patterning in knitted fabric produced on a straight bar knitting machine equipped with means for lace patterning which consists in adapting a predetermined small number of lace points to cooperate with a small group of a predetermined greater number of needles at half gauge spacing, between consecutive knitting operations, and to transfer by opposite transfer motion of the same predetermined number of lace points over predetermined numbers of the half gauge needles of the group, yarn loops originally on half gauge needles at each side of the group of needles to half gauge needles at the other side of the group, in a number of transfer and reset operations.
  • only one point bar is used with one, or more points.
  • FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic representation of one sequence of operations for cable stitching by use of a single point on a single point bar.
  • FIGURE 2 is a similar view to FIGURE 1 using a pair of points of half gauge spacing on the single point bar.
  • FIGURE 3 is a similar view to FIGURES 1 and 2 using four points on a single point bar.
  • Each of the three illustrated methods of cable stitching are carried out on a Cottons patent straight bar knitting machine having bearded needles such as 1a to 1d, FIG- URE 1, set out at half gauge with dummy needles such as 1e to lg between them, and loop transfer mechanism including a single point bar having one, two, or four loop transfer points such as P in FIGURE 1.

  • two points P, P1 and three full gauge needle spacing are used in nine transfer and reset motions in cooperation with five half gauge needles 1a to 1d, 111 and with two dummy needles 1 1g of the four dummy needles 1e1g, 1i between the five half gauge needles, and having varying full gauge 3 needle space sideways motions referred to with reference to FIGURE 1 in the following Sequence.
  • loops 1L, 2L, 3L and the loops 4L, 5L cross to opposite sides of four half gauge needles 1a, 1b, 1d, 1h; this is followed by knitting plain courses on the five half gauge needles 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1h and repeating the sequence with or without additional transfer operation as described for FIGURE 1.
  • three points P1, P2, P3 at full gauge spacing and a fourth point P at half gauge spacing from point P1 are used in four transfer and reset motions in cooperation with the four half gauge needles 1a to 1d and with the one dummy needle 1 of the three dummy needles 1e to lg between the half gauge needles, and having varying full gauge needle space sideways motions hereinbefore referred, in the following sequence:
  • Stage R1 points reset one space right point P2 to needle Stage T2-loops 3L, 4L three spaces left to dummy needle 1 by point P2 1 Stage R2points reset three spaces right, point P to dummy needle 1f Stage T3--loops 3L, 4L three spaces left to needle 1a by point P Stage R3-points reset two spaces right, point P to needle 1b point P1 to needle 1c Stage T4loops 1L, 2L two spaces right to needle 10, 1d
  • Stage R4-points reset three spaces left to needle 1a, 1b
  • the machine may have all its needles composed of a half gauge set of needles and the remainder dummy needles therebetween so that the fabric having the cabling is half gauge fabric.
  • the machine will have usual means for operating the needles for knitting successive courses, means for interrupting the knitting, the single point bar with the appropriate number of points for transferring the loops during the interruption of the knitting, usual mechanism for dipping the points, means for causing the clipping mechanism to operate four, seven, or nine times during a single interruption, and means for causing the points to shift sideways in the manner 'hereinbefore tabulated.
