Abstract: 20,703. Woodward, C. R., and Cavers, W. Sept. 18. Circular knitting- machines.- The splicing-thread o passes through a trough b supported .on a stem sliding in a bracket under the control of a spring e, and is raised into contact with the main thread n or lowered for trapping at predetermined intervals. The trough also carries a projecting arm f in which slides a spring controlled trapper g covered by a plate h. When the trough is raised, a fixed incline q engages a pin r on the trapper and opens it, whereupon the thread o is released and carried to the needles by friction with the thread n. When splicing is to be discontinued, the trough descends and allows the trapper by the action of its spring to imprison the thread o against the side of the trough. The short arm of a lever s is connected to the trough, the descent of which causes the long arm to draw a slack loop of thread. According to the Provisional Specification, a loose piece carrying the trapper may be raised to free the splicing-thread instead of raising the trough.
