  • pitman 34 is connected by the link 38 to the lever 39 fulcrumed on the stationary stud-pin 40 which is supported by the side wall of the arm 15 above the stud-pin 37.
  • the lever 39 is ball-and-socket connected at its free end by means of a link 41 to a crank-arm 42 fixed to the looper-shaft 30 to rock the latter.
  • the free end 0 of the pitman 34 is caused by the guide 36 to move in an egg-shaped path 50.
  • the egg-shaped path 50 is curved in the same direction and substantially coincides over a considerable portion of its length with the arcuate path 51 of the lower end of the link 38.
  • This condition causes the looper 31 to move slowly or dwell in its reversal of motion at the end of its loop-seizing stroke.
  • the points on the looper path shown in Fig. 14 represent the successive positions of the looper beak for equiangularly spaced positions of the mainshaft. The bunching together of these points at the dotted line position of the looper in Fig. 14 thus indicates the relatively slow motion of the looper at that end of its orbital path.

  • the aperture in the partition wall65 which receives the ball-bearing 66 is closed at one end by the washer 67 so that oil splashed from the oil-sump 68 in the work-supporting arm 15 by the feedand looper-actuating eccentrics will not flood the ball-bearing and work through to the thread-controlling mechanism and soil the thread.
