Abstract: 1,170,617. Brush-making machines. H. ZAHORANSKY. 28 Feb., 1967 [2 March, 1966], No. 9551/67. Heading A4K. In a brush filling machine, an overload release, in the drive transmission to a tuft inserting ram, prevents the ram from being broken by the driving force, when it has become accidently jammed by the faulty operation of the machine. The release is formed as a slipping connection between a cam-operated rod 28 and a rod 25 pivoted (at 25) to the end of the ram (12, 23, Figs 1-3, not shown). The rods 26 and 28 may be retained against relative displacement, in the direction A, by ball detent 37, 38 exerting adjustable pressure in indentation 41. When the maximum permissible driving force is exceeded, the pivot (45) sides upwardly in slot 54 and finger 44 operates machine stop switch 42. In other forms the head (26a) is retained by friction alone (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) or by combined friction and interengaging serrations (Figs. 7-9, not shown). In another form, excessive drive ejects fluid from a hydraulic cylinder (61, Fig 10, not shown) against the pressure exerted by compressed air in an enclosure (63). The switch 42 may be provided, in this case, to operate a warning signal while the machine runs on.

The. retaining members are movable to close the hook and abutmensts .10b can carry a held loop over the hook so that they may be cast off. When the ends engage the hook they are forced apart, and enlarge a held loop so that transfer to frame needles is facilitated. The needles enable a roll welt and rib fabric to be knitted, and assist a change from rib to plain knitting. To knit a roll welt alternate needles are lowered and sinker loops caught by the hooks as they fall off, the ribs (Figs. 26-6 not shown), and several courses knitted with the loops retained, on the machine needles. During knocking over the held loops are pushed from behind the bellies 7 into the hooks by the edges 10b and locked by the advanced elements. The sinker loops of the last course are caught in .the hooks and locked by the advanced elements while the held sinker loops of the first course are knocked over (Fig. 36 not shown). Rib knitting may then commence during which new sinker loops are caught and retained in the hooks while loops of the previous course held on the body are knocked over. When plain knitting is to commence the held loops are pushed forward by the elements and spread by the ends. Alternate needles then rise through the loops.
