Title: Improvements in and applicable to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: WOODWARD CHARLES RICHARD
Filed: 1908-07-20
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 15,295. Woodward, C. R., and Scott, T. July 20. Circular knitting-machines.-Yarn-changing apparatus for striped, spliced, plated, or other work comprises a fixed bracket 7 in which is mounted a block 8 carrying the pivoted thread-guides 1, 2, 3. The guides are connected to pattern-controlled spring slides 13 by means of pins and oblique slots 12, which allow of disengagement when the block 8 is drawn back on its pin 9. The trapper 17 comprises a coil spring, or equivalent spring plates or washers, one end being attached to the ribber dial, while the other works in a socket 18 and is attached to a slidable rod 20. When a thread-guide is to be lowered into action, a spring plunger 25 acting on a bell-crank lever 23 shifts a slide 21 to which the rod 20 is attached, opens the coils of the spring, and allows the loose end of thread to be fed to the needles. At the same time, the thread of the guide raised out of action is carried into the coils of the spring by the needles, and is held as the spring closes. The thread between the spring and the needles is cut by shearing-mechanism of ordinary construction.
