Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Rib-tops or the like on Straight Bar Knitting Machines.
Inventor: ATTEWELL WILLIAM MEE
Filed: 1901-06-12
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 11,957. Attewell, W. M. June 12. Straight bar knitting - machines.-Relates to making slack and draw-thread courses in order to divide continuously-knitted rib-tops one from another. A slack course on both sets of needles is preferably first knitted, then a course is made on the frame needles only, and then a slack course on both sets of needles. In order to make a slack course, the falling bar A is moved longitudinally by a lever and cam arrangement ; pins on the underside of the falling bar move over stepped supports, and thus raise or lower the falling bar as it moves longitudinally. In order to throw the machine needles out of action when the course is knitted on the frame needles only, the roller F<1> on the cam lever F<3> of the machine needle cam is moved on to the welting-cam. When the machine needles are thrown out of action, the machine needle presser is also thrown out of action by means of levers and cams controlled from the pattern mechanism. The pattern-wheel D is rotated step-by-step by a ratchet D<4> and pawl L, and can be advanced one tooth during ordinary knitting, or two teeth as required. The drawthread carrier is brought into action by means controlled by the pattern mechanism. In Cotton's machines, slack courses are produced by modifying the motion of the needles relative to the sinkers by means of two or more sets of frame needle cams controlled by the pattern mechanism.
