STEPHEN WOODWARD, OF MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
KNITTING-MACHINE NEEDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,566, dated August 23, 1898.
' Application filed April 13, 1896. Serial No. 587,282. (No model.
clare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to knitting-machine needles,and particularly to the shanks of such needles, such shanks being also commonly known as nibs or heels.
The object of my invention is to provide novel means for thickening the heel of the needle, thereby to provide a shoulder to retain the needle in its proper upright position in the holding-cylinder and at the same time strengthen the heel where the thickening means is applied.
Figure 1 is a side elevation showing a needle provided with an attachment containing myinvention; Fig. 2, a plan view of the same Fig. 3, a detail in elevation of the attachment shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 a detail illustrating a mode of applying the attachment differing somewhat from that shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Similar letters designate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the needle, and Bits shank or heel, the latter being shown as formed by bending the needle upon itself to form a loop.
My improved attachment consists of a thickening member, here shown in the form of a stud, pin, or wire 0, which is passed through an opening or perforation b in the heel. This pin or wire is made longer than is the thickness of a needle, so that it will project at each side of the heel or shank, in order that its ends may be bent around and to embrace either portion or limb of said heelfor example, as indicated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, where the projecting ends of the wire or member 0 are bent in opposite directions.
As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the oppositely-bent ends 0 c of the member 0 each cover two of the sides of the limb of the heel, about which they are respectively bent, it thus looking, as represented in Fig. 3, like a letter S; but the length of the wire or member 0 may be varied, and consequently the extent to which its bent ends encompass or pass around the limbs of the heel correspondingly varied, so as to be more or less than is indicated in the drawings. This construction is adopted to avoid brazing the wire in or to the shank or heel, which would be necessary if the ends were not bent around the heel, and it also strengthens the heel.
In Fig. 4 the opening or perforation is formed part in one and part in the other portion or limb of the shank or heel, while in Figs. 1 and 2 it is formed entirely in one of the-portions or limbs.
The following claims are intended to cover the invention here disclosed broadly.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
is Q
1. A knitting-machine needle of the clas described, having a thickening member bent to embrace the heel of the needle, said member between its ends passing bodily through an opening in said heel to prevent it from slipping endwise therefrom.
2. A knitting-machine needle bent upon itself, to form a heel and having a thickening member applied to said heel and bent to more or less embrace the same, said thickening member between its embracing ends passing between the limbs thereof.
3. A knitting-machine needle of the class described, having a thickening member applied to its heel, between the limbs of the heel and embracing such limbs.
4. In a knitting-machine needle, the combination with the heel thereof having a perforation, of a wire passed through said perforation, the ends of the said wire being bent in opposite directions around their respective heel portions whereby said heel may be strengthened and the wire may be held permanently in place.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
. STEPHEN WOODWARD.
