Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A pneumatic system for sliver high pile fabric knitting machines whereby the usual air jets, disposed adjacent the needle circle and operative during knitting, are eliminated, and suction is employed for retaining the sliver fibers on the needles during knitting and for removing loose fibers from within the needle circle to a location remote from the needle circle, from which location the loose fibers either may be handled as waste or conveyed back to the machine for re-delivery to the needles.
  • This invention pertains to improvements in sliver high pile fabric knitting machines, and more particularly to a new and improved pneumatic system for such machines.
  • Silver high pile fabric knitting machines as presently used are highly wasteful and inefficient instrumentalities because of their gross wasteage of sliver fibers.
  • such machines are provided with air jets at each yarn feeding station which direct compressed air into the needle circle.
  • the purpose of'such air jets is to retain the pile fibers generally normal of the needle shanks as the needles take and knit the backing yarn to form the pile fabric.
  • the air jets deliver compressed air from points external of the needles through and inwardly of the needle circle.
  • the air jets usually blow a large percentage of the pile fibers off of the needle, resulting in substantial fiber wastage. Additionally, careful positioning of the air nozzles is most imortant, to ensure that the fibers are knit properly with the backing yam without creating faults in the fabric. Should the air jets not be properly positioned, or should they become clogged, thereby interfering with the air flow, faults, such as ribs and in-knits", are likely to occur in the fabric.
  • the longer the pile fibers the less efficient become the air jets. Because they are spaced around the needle circle, they tend to work against each other. With relatively long pile fibers, the opposing air jets tend to disturb fibers on the needles adjacent other yarn feeding stations causing faults, such as tangles.
  • fiber removal systems have been provided for sliver high pile fabric knitting machines, but with only indifferent or limited results.
  • Such arrangements usually consist of an air suction system disposed above the needle circle, for removing loose pile fibers from within the needle circle.
  • air suction systems are not effective below the level of the air jets spaced around the needle circle, and because the jets of compressed air create such a turbulance within the needle circle, present suction systems are of limited value in removing fibers from within the needle circle, most of which have been blown off the needles by the air jets.
  • sliver high pile fiber knitting machines and the fabrics made thereby are relatively dirty in the sense that both the machines and the fabrics become littered with loose, waste pile fibers. Indeed, the
  • the primary object of this invention is to provide a new and improved pneumatic system for sliver high pile fabric knitting machines whereby the usual air jets adjacent the needle circle are eliminated, and suction is employed for retaining the sliver fibers on the needles during knitting and for removing loose sliver fibers from within the needle circle to a location remote therefrom.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide pneumatic means whereby loose sliver fibers removed from within the needle circle are returned to the sliver feeding means of the machine for re-delivery to the needles.
  • a further object is to eliminate the air jets of sliver high pile fabric knitting machines and substitute an air suction system.
  • a further object is to provide a pneumatic system for sliver high pile fabric knitting machines which eliminates the excessive fiber wastage which presently is chacteristic of such machines.
  • a further object is to provide a new and improved pneumatic system for sliver high pile fabric knitting machines which enables the machines to provide fabric which is not littered with loose, waste pile fibers, and which eliminates the necessitity of removing such fibers from the knitted fabric prior to final processing.

  • FIG. 1 illustrates the invention applied to a conventional sliver high pile fabric knitting machine having the usual needle cylinder with its complement of circularly-arranged independent latch needles l1, sinker ring 12 and ring gear 13.
  • a sliver and yarn feeding stations each of which includes a sliver feeding means 16 and a tubular yarn guide 17 for feeding body yarn 18 to the needles.
  • the yarn guide tubes 17 are spaced a relatively small distance from their adjacent sliver feeding means 16 in the direction of cylinder rotation, so that the needles first remove fibers from the usual doffer 19 prior to taking and knitting yarn 18.
  • each sliver feeding means 16 includes the usual transfer cylinder 20, spaced pairs of sliver feeding rolls 21 and a sliver entry means which, in accordance to this invention, consists of a box 22 (see FIG. 3).
  • Incoming sliver 23 passes through the lower portion 24 of sliver entry box 22 to the feed rolls 21, from which it passes via main cylinder and doffer 19 to the circle of needles 11 in the usual manner.
  • suction hood 30 Disposed within the circle of needles 11 is a suction hood 30, the construction details of which are illustrated in FIGS; 4-l0.
  • the upper part of suction hood is of generally frusto-conical construction.
  • Its lower portion 31 is of generally cylindrical or annular configuration having a periphery 32, a bottom 34 and a top 35.
  • Formed in periphery 32 is a plurality of uniformly spaced arcuate openings 33.
  • the upper portions of openings 33 extend inwardly of the hood 30 into the top 35 of the cylindrical portion 31 of the hood.
  • Each of the openings 33 is disposed at a sliver and yarn feeding station and is adapted to receive the lower portion of a doffer 19 in the area where it delivers sliver fibers to the needles 11 (FIG. 3).
  • Each arcuate portion of periphery 32 which is removed to provide the apertures 33 is bent inwardly of the periphery 32 about bend line 36 and then bent outwardly to provide right-angled internal walls 37g and 37b (FIG. 9).
  • Each opening 33 merges into a smaller, tapered opening 40 in periphery 32 (FIGS. 4, 6), which extends in the direction of needle rotation to the point where, or just beyond where, the needles reach cast off level.
  • a plurality of spaced notches 41 Disposed in the outer portion of floor 34 of hood 30 are a plurality of spaced notches 41 (FIG. 7), each extending arcuately from a point proximate where the needles begin to descend from clear level to proximate the point where the needles first reach cast-off level (FIGS. 4, 5).
  • Each notched out portion 42 is bent upwardly along bend a line 43 extending inwardly of floor 34 proximate the point where needles l1 reach cast-off level (FIGS. 4, 6, 7).
  • the upturned notched out portions 42 perform as cams to aid in retaining the sliver fibers 25 in the hooks of the needles 11, generally normal to the needle shanks, as the needles descendto cast-off level, all of which is particularly well illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • suction hood 30 The upper portion of suction hood 30 is connected by a conduit 48 (FIG. 1) to a blower or fan 49, or equivalent means for creating suction within conduit 48 and hood 30.
  • a conduit 48 FIG. 1
  • blower or fan 49 or equivalent means for creating suction within conduit 48 and hood 30.
  • the suction also serves to remove all fibers from the doffer 19, thereby preventing clogging.
  • blower 49 may lead to a collector means (not shown) for waste fibers, but preferably is connected by a conduit 50 to a cylindrical manifold 51 (FIG. 1).
  • a collector means not shown
  • conduit 50 to a cylindrical manifold 51 (FIG. 1).
  • the upper end 52 of conduit 50 is inserted into the lower portion of manifold 51, and extends upwardly to approximately the middle thereof, manifold 51 and conduit portion 52 being co-axial.
  • Apertures 53 are formed in a concentric ring about conduit portion 52 (FIG. 2). There is provided one aperture 53 and one conduit 54 for each sliver feeding means 16 of v the machine. Each conduit 54 terminates at the entrance to the upper portion 26 of a sliver entry box 22 (FIG. 3).
  • manifold 51 acts as a fiber distributor or equilizer for return of the fibers to the several sliver feeding means for re-delivery to the needles. It is important, of course, that substantially equal quantities of loose fibers be distributed from manifold 51 through conduits 54 to the several sliver feeding means 16, to ensure uniform re-distribution of the returned fibers to the knitting head. Otherwise, satisfactory fabric may not be produced.
  • the air pressure from blower 49 transmits the substantially uniformly distributed fibers through the conduits 54 and into the upper portions 26 of each sliver entry box 22.
  • the discharge end of each conduit 54 is so arranged with the upper portion 26 of each sliver entry box to provide for the returned fibers to be delivered or blown to join the incoming sliver 23 just in advance of the first pair of sliver feed rolls 21.
  • the recovered fibers are re-delivered to the needles 11 of the knitting machine via feed rolls 21, transfer cylinder and doffer 19.
  • each sliver entry box is provided with a removeable screen or foraminous cover-27, which tends to dissipate the air pressure flowing from the lower end of the conduits 54.
  • means 60 may be inserted in conduit 50, between blower 49 and manifold 51, to provide for reduction in the amount of air pressure in the upper portion of conduit 50 leading to manifold 51.
  • the construction of such air pressure means is disclosed in detail in FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • the air reduction means includes a cylinder 61 having a foraminous cylindrical wall 62 and mounted on rotable shaft 64 within a cylindrical housing 65. Shaft 64 is supported by bearings 63. The cylinder 61 is driven at a constant rate of speed by motor 66.
  • the rotatable foraminous cylinder 61 is disposed within the air stream passing through conduit 50, such that the fibers entrained by the air are deposited on the foraminous wall of the rotating cylinder and carried thereby from the incoming side of housing 65 to the diametrically opposite side thereof, where they are blown from the surface of cylinder 61 into the upper portion of conduit 50. Because of the foraminous structure of the cylindrical wall 62, the air stream passing through conduit 50, which initially deposits the loose fibers on the cylinder 61, also serves to remove them from its surface as the fibers arrive at the discharge side of the housing 65.
  • One or more conduits 70 are connected to one end of the housing 65, and serve to divert or bleed-off" some of the air pressure in thelower portion of conduit 50. This has the effect of reducing the air pressure in the pneumatic system down stream from air reduction means 60, without diverting any of the fibers from the system.
  • the high pressure air thus diverted from the pneumatic system through one or more conduits 70 may be wasted or re-used for some suitable purpose, as desired.
  • the floor of lower portion 24 of sliver entry box 22 may be provided with a longitudinal slot 81 for reception of a pivotal lever 82, the distal end of which may be advanced upwardly to raise the distal end of flexible divider 83 disposed between the lower portion 24 and the upper portion 26 of sliver entry box 22.
  • a pivotal lever 82 the distal end of which may be advanced upwardly to raise the distal end of flexible divider 83 disposed between the lower portion 24 and the upper portion 26 of sliver entry box 22.
  • communication between the two portions of box 22 may be closed off, so that recovered sliver fibers delivered through conduit 54 to portion 26 of entry box 22 do not pass to the feed rolls 21.
  • Such an arrangement is used when changing the color, type or kind of sliver 23.
  • lever 82 is advanced to elevate divider 83, and the pneumatic system ispermitted to operate until all loose fibers from the old sliver are cleaned from the machine and deposited in upper portion 26 of box 22, between screen 27 and divider 83. Thereupon, screen 27 is removed, the recovered fibers from the old sliver are removed, the screen then replaced, lever 82 returned to its normal position, and, with the machine now being clean of the old sliver fibers, knitting is ready to resume with the new sliver.
