Improvements in Knitting Machines.
I, JAMES EGAN ROWE, of the City of Pawtucket, County of Providence, and
State of Rhode Island, United States of America, Machinist, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to knitting machines, and has for its object to provide an
improved thread changing mechanism for use in connection with knitting machines
and more especially in connection with knitting machines in which the needles
are operated by a traveling cam carrier either in the form of a rotating cylinder
or a rotating disc.
In existing machines in which the needles are operated by cams on a rotary
cam carrier either one or both of the thread bobbins have been carried with the
cam carrier, and in cases where a main thread guide has been used the threads
have been led to the main thread guide from guides which traveled with the
cam carrier. With this construction the weight of the thread bobbins and of the
mechanism for operating the thread carriers or thread guides, which mechanism
is also carried by the cam carrier, necessitates a reduction in the speed of the
machine.
With the present improvements the thread bobbins are not carried with the cam
carrier, but are mounted on the stationary frame and in case a main thread guide
is used the threads pass to the main thread guide which travels with the can
carrier from guides which do not travel with the cam carrier, and one of the
features of the present improvements consists in providing means for carrying a
plurality of threads successively to the needles of a machine in which the needles
are operated by a rotary cam carrier, and the threads are guided by means which
does not travel with said cam carrier, but is independent thereof.
Any suitable means may be used for thus carrying the threads successively
to the needles, and it is preferred to use a plurality of carriers, which are succes-
sively operated to carry the threads to the needles, and it is also preferred to use
a main thread guide which travels with the needles and to which the threads
are successively carried by the carriers, one thread being withdrawn from the
needles preferably by severing said thread, when another thread is carried to said
needles. Any suitable form of carriers may be used, but it is preferred to use
a novel form of carrier which in itself forms a feature of invention. This carrier
consists of a thread engaging device and a thread holder which are moved into
position upon opposite sides of the needles so that the thread between the holder
and the engaging device will be carried between two adjacent needles.
The thread engaging device of the carrier may be in the form of a thread eye
which forms a guide through which the thread is guided to the main thread
guide, and the holder may be in the form of a gripper, one jaw of which is pro-
vided with a knife for severing the thread.
The thread eye and the grippers may be mounted upon pivoted arms which
are operated by a series of cams or other suitable mechanism. When this form of
means for successively carrying the threads to the needles is used the knitting

page_text: thread will pass through the thread eye of its carrier to the main thread guide,
the thread eye forming at this time a stationary guide which does not travel
with the cam carrier and main thread guide. The other thread in case two threads
only are used will pass through the thread eye of its carrier, and the end of the
thread will be held by the gripper, this carrier at this time being back out of
active position, that is to say, out of the position which it occupies when its
thread is the knitting thread. When the thread is to be changed the cams are
fed a step forward and the carrier which is out of active position is rocked on
its pivot to carry its thread eye and gripper upon opposite sides of the needles and
thus carry the thread between two adjacent needles. Having carried the thread
to the needles the carrier immediately moves away from the needles and stops
in its active position, the thread end being drawn out of the gripper as soon as the
needles knit said thread into the fabric. An adjustable stop may be provided
for regulating the force with which the gripper holds the thread. As this carrier
starts towards the needles the other carrier moves back out of active position
and its gripper is opened by a cam secured to the disc which carries the carrier
operating cams, and an arm engages the knitting thread and forces it between the
jaws of the gripper. When the other thread has been engaged by the needles
the jaws of the gripper are closed and the knitting thread severed, the other thread
then becoming the knitting thread.
The disc which carries the cams may be operated by a pawl which engages
notches in said disc and when so operated the pawl carrying arm may be operated
at the proper time by an arm provided with a shoulder which is normally out of
the path of an abutment on a reciprocating member, the rack for reciprocating
the cam cylinder for instance, and which is moved into the path of the abutment
when the thread is to be changed. The shoulder may be held out of the path
of the abutment by a plate or guard which engages said arm and which is rocked
at the proper time by suitable mechanism. The rocking of the guard may be
effected by a stud on a lever operated at stated intervals by a cam, which stud
engages the end of a bar or link connected to the arm carrying said guard, and
the position of said bar or link may be controlled by a pattern chain.
The main thread guide is of novel construction and forms a further feature of
invention. This guide is formed in the usual latch guard of the machine and
is provided with a lateral passage through which the threads are carried to the
thread guide by the carriers when they carry the threads to the needles, and
means are provided for preventing the escape of the thread through said passage
when a carrier moves away from the needles. Said passage is also provided with
a safety stop to prevent the escape of the thread should the parts not be accurately
timed and a carrier moved away from the needles before the thread has entered
the main thread guide.

Improvements in Knitting Machines.
I, JAMES EGAN ROWE, of the City of Pawtucket, County of Providence, and
State of Rhode Island, United States of America, Machinist, do hereby declare

page_text: the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement: -
This invention relates to knitting machines, and has for its object to provide an
improved thread changing mechanism for use in connection with knitting machines
and more especially in connection with knitting machines in which the needles
are operated by a traveling cam carrier either in the form of a rotating cylinder
or a rotating disc.
In existing machines in which the needles are operated by cams on a rotary
cam carrier either one or both of the thread bobbins have been carried with the
cam carrier and in cases where a main thread guide has been used the threads
have been led to the main thread guide from guides which traveled with the
cam carrier. With this construction the weight of the thread bobbins and of the
mechanism for operating the thread carriers or thread guides, which mechanism
is also carried by the cam carrier, necessitates a reduction in the speed of the
machine.
With the present improvements the thread bobbins are not carried with the cam
carrier, but are mounted on the stationary frame and in case a main thread guide
is used the threads pass to the main thread guide which travels with the cam
carrier from guides which do not travel with the dam carrier, and one of the
features of the present improvements consists in providing means for carrying a
plurality of threads successively to the needles of a machine in which the needles
are operated by a rotary cam carrier, and the threads are guided by means which
does not travel with said cam carrier, but is independent thereof.
Any suitable means may be used for thus carrying the threads successively
to the needles, and it is preferred to use a plurality of carriers, which are succes-
sively operated to carry the threads to the needles, and it is also preferred to use
a main thread guide which travels with the needles and to which the threads
are successively carried by the carriers, one thread being withdrawn from the
needles preferably by severing said thread, when another thread is carried to said
needles. Any suitable form of carriers may be used, but it is preferred to use
a novel form of carrier which in itself forms a feature of invention. This carrier
consists of a thread engaging device and a thread holder which are moved into
position upon opposite sides of the needles so that the thread between the holder
and the engaging device will be carried between two adjacent needles. With this
preferred construction of carrier while the carriers are in their active position,
the thread eyes form guides for the threads, and when the carriers are moved
the thread eyes form thread engaging devices which co-operate with the thread
holders to carry the threads to the needles. Carriers may be used however in
which the thread engaging devices do not act as guides, in which case the threads
may pass through ordinary guides which are permanently attached to the
stationary frame, or other forms of carriers may be used.

guiding and carrying the threads to the needles.
In the accompanying drawings the thread changing mechanism is shown
applied to the knitting machine shown and described in Letters Patent No. 23,905,

page_text: dated October 27th, 1896, and the mechanism is so timed that the thread will be
changed at the heel and toe of the stockings, but it will be understood that the
mechanism may be readily applied to other forms of knitting machines and that
the mechanism may be timed to change the thread at any part of the fabric being
knit. The knitting head is provided with the ordinary needle cylinder in which
the needles H are guided. The needles are operated by the usual cams carried
by the rotary cam cylinder E which is operated by the mechanism shown in the
patent referred to. “The latch guard D is pivoted to a standard rising from the
cam cylinder E and has formed therein the main thread guide 1. A passage 2
leads from the top of the latch guard to the thread guide 1 and the threads are
carried to the guide 1 through this passage. A plate 3 is secured to the latch
guard and is provided with a finger 4 which overlies the passage 2 and prevents
the escape of the thread from the guide. The plate 3 is also provided with a
second finger 5 which also overlies the passage 2 and acts as a safety stop to
prevent the thread from pulling out of the passage in case the carrier moves
back before said thread has entered the guide 1. The threads are successively
carried to the needles and to the thread guide 1 by two carriers 6 and 7 secured
to the ends of two carrier arms 8 and 9 pivoted to a support 10. Each of these
carriers consists of a U-shaped piece 11 having a thread eye 12 in one of its
arms, the other arm-forming the stationary jaw 13 of a gripper for holding the
thread. The movable jaw 14 of the gripper is pivoted at 15 to the stationary
jaw and is provided with a rearwardly extending arm 16 engaged by the end of a
lever 17 pivoted at 18 to the arm supporting the carrier. Springs 19 act upon the
levers 17 and serve to hold the jaws of the grippers closed. A pin 20 extends
from the jaw 13 into a recess in the jaw 14 and serves to limit the entrance of
the thread between the jaws. A plate 21 is secured to the jaw 13 and is provided
with a knife edge 22 which co-acts with the edge of jaw 14 to sever the thread
when the jaws are closed. A screw 23 serves as an adjustable stop for limiting
the approach of the jaws to each other and thus adjusting the grip upon the
thread so that said thread will pull from between the jaws without danger of
breaking. The pieces 11 are secured to the ends of the carrier arms by means
of bolts 24.
The arm 8 is pivoted to the support 10 at 25 and is rocked upon its pivot at the
proper time by means of a cam groove 26 engaged by roll 27 on the end of arm 8.
A similar cam groove 28 (Fig. 5) acts upon a roll 29 on the arm 9, and rocks said
arm at the proper time. The cam grooves 26 and 28 are formed in discs 291 and 30
adjustably secured by means of bolts 30¹ to à disc 31 mounted on a shaft or
stud 32 in the support 10. The support 10 is secured to a bracket 43 by a stud 56
which extends through a boss on said bracket and is provided with a nut 57
upon its outer end. The disc 31 is provided with a series of notches 33 which
are engaged by a spring pawl 34 mounted on an arm 35 pivoted on the stud 32.
The arm 35 may be rocked at the proper time by any suitable mechanism and
in the form shown is rocked as the machine passes on to and off of the heel
and toe by the following mechanism;
An arm 36 is pivoted to the pawl arm 35 and is provided with a shoulder 37.
A19 is the reciprocating rack for oscillating the cam cylinder during the formation
of the heel and toe and is provided with a pin 38 which forms a projection on
said rack for engaging the shoulder 37 and drawing down the arms 36 and 35
which are returned by spring 361. The shoulder 37 is held out of the path of
the projection 38 by means of a plate or guard 39 which engages a projection 40
on said arm. The plate 39 is carried by a lever 41 pivoted at 42 to a bracket 43
secured to the frame of the machine. A rod is pivoted to the rear end of the
lever 41 and passes through. a slot in one arm of a bell-crank lever 44. The outer
arm of the bell-crank lever is in the path of a series of lugs 45 on the
pattern chain 46 which is fed forward by a pawl and ratchet as described in the
patent referred to. A spring 46 serves. to keep the rod 47 against the rear end
of the slot in the lever 44 and to hold the lever 41 in its normal position.

page_text: The lever which is rocked at the beginning and completion of the heel and toe.
as described in the above patent, is provided with a stud 48 having a conical
recess adapted to engage the conical end of the rod 47. The end of rod 47 is
normally in the position shown in Fig. 3 out of the path of stud 48. Just before
the lever is rocked by the cam C9 one of the lugs 45 passes under the end of
lever 44 and rocks said lever, thus moving the end of rod 47 into the path of
the stud 48. Now when the lever is operated the stud 48 acts on rod 47 and
rocks the lever 41, thus moving the guard, and allows the arm 36 to swing for-
ward to bring the shoulder 37 into the path of pin 38. On the downward stroke
of the rack A the pin 38 engages the shoulder 37 and draws down the arms 36
and 35 and thus moves the discs 291, 30, and 31 a step forward. When the
rack A starts upward the spring 46¹ acts to return the lever 41 to its normal
position and the guard 39 engages the arm 36 and moves the shoulder 37 out of
engagement with the pin 38 when the spring 36¹ returns the arm 35 to its normal
position, the bolt 49 serving as a stop to limit its upward movement.
.
The discs 29 and 30 carry a series of cams 50 for acting on the ends of levers 17.
to open the jaws of the thread holders and two arms 51 extend upward from
the support 10 and support two bell-crank levers 52 and 53 which are provided
with lateral arms 54 and 55 for engaging the threads and carrying them between
the jaws of the grippers. Springs 56 tend to hold the arms 54 and 55 in their
forward position.
Supposing the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 1, the operation is
as follows: The thread a which at this time is the knitting thread, passes from
the usual fixed guides g, through the thread eye 12 in carrier 6 and through the
main thread guide 1 to the needles. At this time the carrier is in what may be
termed its active position, that is to say, in such a position that its thread eye 12
will be substantially in line with the axis of the cam cylinder and in position
to properly guide the knitting thread to the main thread guide. The arm 54
lies in front of the thread a. The thread passes from the usual fixed guides g
through the eye 12 of the carrier 7 and the end of said thread is held between
the jaws 13 and 14 of said carrier. The carrier 7 is at this time back out of
active position, and the arm 53 stands below the gripper of said carrier. When
the yarns are to be changed the cam discs 291 and 30 are advanced a step as
above described. This movement of the cam discs operates the carriers as follows;
Carrier 6 is moved back into the position shown in Fig. 2, thus carrying the
lever 17 into the path of one of the cams 50. The carrier 6 in its backward move-
ment also engages the short arm of lever 52 and rocks said lever on its pivot
and into the position shown in Fig. 2. When the lever 52 swings below the
jaws 13 and 14 it carries the thread a into the notch formed by the ends of the
jaws, and when the jaws are opened by the action of cam 50 on the lever 17
said thread passes between said jaws and rests against pin 20. At the same time
that carrier 6 is moved back, carrier 7 is swung down into the position shown
in Fig. 2 with its thread eye and holder upon opposite sides of the needies and
the thread 6 between the thread eye and holder passes through the passage 2
into the guide 1 and between two adjacent needles. The carrier 7 immediately
moves back into active position, that is to say, into a position corresponding to the
position of carrier 6 in Fig. 1. As the carrier 7 moves away from the needles
the thread bis knit into the fabric and the end of said thread pulls from between
the jaws 13 and 14, the grip of the jaws being adjusted by the screw 23 to allow
this without danger of breaking the thread. At or about the time the thread b
is engaged by the needles the cam 50' releases the arm 17 of the carrier 6 and the
jaws of its gripper are closed severing the thread a, the end of which passes through
the guide 1 to the needles. The thread b is now the knitting thread and is guided
to the needles until the cam discs are again moved forward when the carrier 6
carries the thread a to the needles and returns to active position, and the carrier 7
moves back and thread b is withdrawn from the needles. Thus the carriers are
successively operated to carry the threads to the needles.

page_text: While it is preferred to use the form of carriers shown consisting of a thread
engaging device and holder which are moved into position upon opposite sides
of the needles and to form said thread engaging device as a thread eye which
at times acts as a stationary guide for guiding the thread, and when the thread
is to be changed coacts with the holder to carry the thread to the needles, it will
be understood that other forms of carriers may be used.
It will also be understood that the invention is not limited in application to
machines in which the travelling cam carrier is a cam cylinder, but may be used
in connection with other forms of travelling cam carriers, and that certain features
of invention are not limited in machines in which the cams are mounted on
travelling carriers, but may be used in machines in which the cams are stationary
and the needles travel.
