Title: Improvements in circular knitting machines
IPC: D04B35/34
Filed: 1964-05-20
Abstract: 1,000,387. Knitting machines. K. TANNERT. May 20, 1964 [May 24, 1963], No. 20710/64. Heading D1C. A flat fabric is produced on a stationary cylinder and dial machine having a section of the cylinder and dial devoid of needles. The fabric is thereby produced somewhat in the form of a U by feeding yarns from ten yarn feeders continuously rotated with the rotating needle cams. The yarn from each feeder is clamped as it passes the section devoid of needles and is simultaneously severed. The flat fabric thereby produced is withdrawn from the needles and fed into a receptacle. The machine comprises a cylinder 3 supported on a stationary ring 2 mounted on a housing 1 containing a motor 18 driving through gearing 15, 16 a shaft 14 driving the dial cam support 9. The drive to the cylinder cams 8 is through members 11 fixed to the dial cams support. The thread guides 10b are supported by and rotate with the cam supports. A Jacquard pattern mechanism 35 is mounted adjacent the section devoid of needles to influence the needle cams. The ring 2 is eccentrically mounted with respect to the housing 1 such that a gap 25 is left between the underside of the ring 2 along the majority of its circumference and the housing 1 through which the fabric issues to be engaged by oscillating take down members 27. These members 27, which are oscillated by rotating rollers or cams 29 secured for their rotation to the shaft 14, engage the fabric and draw it downwardly to feed it into a receptacle 31 of U-shape configuration placed beneath the ring 2 and surrounding the housing 1. The yarn supply bobbins for the feeds are supported on the upper end of the shaft 14. The mechanism for severing the yarns in the non-needle section of the machine comprises a hook shape member 37 sliding in a slot in the needle cylinder and adapted to engage each yarn in turn and draw it down in contact with a cutter positioned adjacent to the member 37. The yarns are also clamped to enable them to be re-fed to the needles by the yarn guides as they repass the needles. To avoid distortion of the edge of the fabric the ends of the outgoing and ingoing yarns are secured in an undulating form between combs 43 and 44 positioned at the edges of the section devoid of needles, the teeth of which project between each other. A yarn inserting member 46 is pivoted above the combs and is periodically oscillated to urge the yarns between the teeth of the combs where it is frictionally held gradually passing between the teeth as the fabric is withdrawn. In addition a wrap yarn can be fed to the end needle or needles to stiffen up the edges of the fabric.

Abstract: 520,126. Discharge lamps. NAVARRE, R. F. D. July 13, 1938, Nos. 20826 and 20827. Convention dates, Dec. 9, 1937, and June 20, 1938. [Class 39 (i)] The electrodes of discharge lamps comprise a cup C, Fig. 1, which has an extension C<SP>1</SP> enclosing the lead-in conductor B from the point at which it enters the envelope A, and itself enclosed' and supported by the corresponding end A<SP>1</SP> of the envelope. The cup is formed of glass, porcelain, refractory earths, glass of the kind known under the Registered Trade Mark, " Pyrex," metals or other materials which do not emit vapours or gases and are not affected chemically or physically at the working temperature of the lamp. A mass D of alkali or alkaline earth metal or alloy or other metal or alloy having a low critical temperature is placed in the bottom of the cup and is fused and partially vaporized to form an electron emissive coating on the inside and outside of the cup and the surrounding wall of the envelope. The' metal is first distilled in vacuo to remove all impurities and is introduced into the cup enclosed in a container to protect it from the oxidizing action of the air. The cup may be protected from the action of the fused metal by a coating of glass, mica &c. and the outside may have a lagging of glass, mica &c. The emissive surface of the electrode may be increased by providing a number of cups nested one within the other, or by providing a sheet G, Fig. 7, of ductile metal such as iron or copper rolled into a spiral and resting on the bottom of the cup. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which a conical hood H, open at its end, fits into the cup. When used in lamps having a filling of gases such as neon or argon in presence of mercury, the formation of amalgams between the mercury and the electrode material is prevented by forming the cup with an end constriction or by providing a trap O, Fig. 10, in the middle of the envelope. In the case of lamps comprising phosphorescent, fluorescent or opalescent screens, the cups are preferably provided with loosely fitting covers or hoods of various forms (Figs. 12-17, not shown). The envelope may be of glass transmitting U-V radiation and one or more auxiliary starting electrodes may be provided between the main electrodes.
