Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a needle slide for knitting machine, comprising a needle with a beak and a slide with a heel, beak and mesh support shoulder, this slide being movable relative to the needle to close and open the needle beak by its beak and to train a mesh by its beak and his shoulder to carry out a transfer of mesh.
  • the first sliding needle for industrial use created by J.F. WILCOMB in 1924, presents a needle moving inside a slide. This construction only allowed the closure of the spout the needle, but not the transfer of stitch by the backstage.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a needle backstage offering new possibilities for knitting, in particular the possibility of punching without needle and auxiliary punches.
  • the sliding needle according to the invention is characterized in that the slide has a profile in a U by which it straddles the needle, and that it is split in its terminal region, including the beak, to pass a needle or a slide opposite for the execution of a mesh transfer or a punching.
  • the sliding needle according to the invention therefore not only ensures the known mesh transfer function, but also the punching function for the hands of the opposite bed, by simply moving a bed. It is thus possible to do without needle auxiliary and its punches.
  • the slide overlaps the needle, it can remove backstage with one or more stitches, while another mesh can remain on the backstage held in the high position.
  • the meshes present on backstage can then be transferred to backstage or in the needle noses of the same needle bed or opposite needle bed. With the same needle, it is thus possible to separate stitches and work with them in different ways.
  • Travel required for different operations of the sliding needle according to the invention are very low amplitude. This reduces the length of the cam holder, reduce the carriage stroke and to increase knitting production.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view, in position training.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the slide alone.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the slide, in the direction of the arrow, figure 2.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along IV-IV of the figure 2.
  • FIG. 5 represents the sliding needle in mesh transfer preparation position.
  • Figure 6 shows the sliding needle in mesh transfer position.
  • FIG. 7 represents the sliding needle in punching position by the sliding of a needle from the opposite bed.
  • the sliding needle shown consists of a needle 1 and a slide 2 inside which slides the needle 1.
  • the needle 1 is provided with a spout 3 at its end.
  • needle 1 has no heel because it is supposed to be driven by a key. However, it could be fitted with one or more heels for its training by the cams of the cam holder.
  • Slide 2 has a U-shaped profile ( Figure 4) by which it overlaps the needle 1.
  • the runner 2 is provided with a heel 4 for its training and at the front it has a spout 5, the part of which upper is located below the level of the back of the slides so as to form a shoulder 6.
  • the sides of the slide close in a joint line 15 so as to form a surface rounding slip for the meshes.
  • the edges of these sides are further rounded between the end of the spout 5 and the lower edges 8 of the slide.
  • the U-profile is interrupted over a certain length so as to form a passage 7 at the back of the slide.
  • Figures 1, 5, 6 and 7 show schematically the profile of two opposite needle beds 9 and 10 of a straight knitting machine with two needle beds.
  • the beak 3 of the needle 1 is closed by the beak 6 of the slide, so that the wire 11 is trapped in the needle beak.
  • FIG. 5 represents the sliding needle in mesh transfer preparation position. Needle 1 is in the high position. By sliding on the needle the wire 12 is raised above the spout 5 of the slide.
  • the needle 1 is shown in position shot down.
  • the runner 2 is high and the mesh 12 comes lean against the shoulder 6 of the slide.
  • a needle 1 'of the opposite needle bed 10 can engage in slide 2 and cross it with its passage 7 to come and grab a mesh carried by the slide 2 for its carryover.
  • the beak 3 of the needle 1 is in the part in U from the backstage.
  • the clearance between needle 1 and runner 2 allows the mesh or meshes to finding in needle beak 3 to engage in backstage without being injured.
  • Figure 7 shows the sliding needle in the same position as figure 6, but instead of an opposite needle 1 'which engages in the slide 2, it is the corresponding slide 2 'which engages in slide 2.
  • the mesh which was on the spout of the runner 2 is on the slide 2 '.
  • the function of the slide 2 ' is thus here that of a punch.
  • the bed 10 can be moved left or right by view of the transfer of the mesh carried by the slides 2 'on needles 1 of needle bed 9 or on backstage 2 of the needle bed 9 at the end of a transfer to needles of needle bed 10.
