Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines and the Fabric Produced thereon.
Inventor: GRIEVE THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: D04B9/10
Filed: 1912-04-20
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 9356. Grieve, T. S. April 20. Circular machines; knitting gloves. Relates to attachments for making thumb-holes in glove hands of tubular seamless rib or plain fabric with gauntlets in another kind of rib. The attachments also serve to introduce cutting-off course at the completion of each article. The invention is described with reference to machines of the type described in Specification 15,008/00 but is applicable to other types. A pivoted spring - controlled auxiliary thread carrier 3 mounted on the cam-box is supplied with fine thread 4 from a bobbin 5 and is brought into knitting operation periodically by means of a star-wheel 12 to which are secured cams 10, 13, 14. The cam 10 operates a pivoted trapper arm 9, through a lever 11. The cam 13 acts on a foot 15 of the thread-guide 3, and the cams 14 push in a bolt or other cam 17 into engagement with those needles 19 which are provided with longer butts 18 than the normal. The attachment is mounted in such a position that the selected needles rise before they are reached by the main feeder 2, and the latches get above, and miss the main thread which floats at the back of the thumb-hole as shown in Fig. 7. The star-wheel is provided with a half-tooth 28 operated by the patterncontrolled pin 26; this places the thread-guide 3 into the position shown in full-line in Fig. 4, and causes the selected needles to rise on the cam 17 to take the thread 4. The half-tooth 28 on the star-wheel is followed by a full tooth 30 operated by a pin 29, and the second movement of the star-wheel causes the cam 14 to open the trapper 9 to release the end of the thread 4. A third full tooth 31 operated by a pin 32 causes the thread-guide 3 and cam 17 to retire to inactive position and allows the trapper 9 to close on the thread 4, which has been brought into the jaws by the retirement of the guide 3. During this cycle the star-wheel turns through a semicircle. If thumb-holes and cutting-off courses are required in alternation, only one of the remaining teeth on the star-wheel is left the full width, so that the pin 32 fails to operate the half-tooth 32<a> and the thread 4 is continued round the circle of needles, which in this case are all provided with long butts 18. A modified form applicable to machines with rotary needle-cylinders is described.

Fig. 1 shows a foot-lug bent up from blanks shaped and slit as shown in Fig. 4, in which the short dotted lines mark the bending lines. The lugs t, s<2> rest against the post, and the projection a' prevents the foot from slipping. The device may be made from a length of square channel-iron and may be used for carrying insulator stalks. In a modification shown in Fig. 10, formed from channel-iron, the lug s is bent vertically downwards as shown at s<4> and then upwards, the free end being riveted at h<2>. Instead of using screws to fasten the device to the post direct, halfclips and bolts may be utilized.

Abstract: 15,027. Dufay, L. June 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Colour photography, screens for.-In making a multi-colour screen, more especially for kinematograph films, one side of a celluloid film is softened by amylacetate or other solvent, and is stamped or otherwise treated to obtain a series of patterned recesses. These recesses are filled with an impermeable transparent material, coloured say violet, and the rest of the surface is dyed by imbibition with a second colour, say a yellow alcoholic solution. The other side of the film is recessed in the same way, and the recesses are filled with an impermeable material, of a third colour, say red, and the intermediate spaces dyed with a fourth colour, say a blue alcoholic solution. The screen as a transparency appears as a four-colour screen, the four colours being produced by the optical superposition of the two pairs of dyes, and not by any mixture of dyes. Other sets of colours can be used, the most useful being on one face, two primary colours, and on the other face, the third primary colour and its complementary. The colours must be chosen so that the finished screen appears as a neutral grey. The screen films are coated with a rapid emulsion for kinematograph work, and positives are printed, in the ordinary way, on to positive screen bands similarly prepared with a different colour pattern.
