Definitions

  • Both the cylinder and dial cam structures are formed with needle butt raceways defining respective needle curves, and are sub-divided into segments which are all of similar angular extent, some of the segments of the cylinder and dial cam structures being formed with raceways which provide for knitting feeds, and others with raceways providing transfer feeds; the segments are individually removably mounted on the machine, and the needle raceways in the segments are so arranged that the terminal portions thereof match adjacent raceways to permit selective interchange and placement of segments in accordance with desired knitting patterns; to provide for selective disabling of blanking or eliminator drums of Jacquard drum selectors, in both knitting feeds and transfer feeds, a pair of cam rings provide for mechanical index control of the pattern drum of the Jacquard selector, and electrically operated, solenoid controlled interlocks are provided to control indexing of the blanking drum, which can be done in accordance with a programmed pattern.
  • the present invention relates to a multi-feed circular knitting machine and more particularly to the type of knitting machine which has both knitting feeds as well as transfer feeds, and the pattern of which is controllable by drum-type Jacquard controllers.
  • Circular knitting machines which provide both for knitting feed as well as for transfer feed, heretofore, had the disadvantage that certain limits are placed on the patterns which can be produced economically, that is, with high production.
  • loops are only formed during knitting feeds, that is, only during those knitting feeds is fabric actually produced.
  • transfer feeds stitches are merely transferred with no thread being added. While transfer feeds are necessary for certain patterns, and to achieve certain effects, no fabric is thereby produced. The period of time taken by the machine to transfer already formed stitches during the transfer feed is therefore lost from a production point of view.
  • the cylinder and dial cam structures are each formed with respective needle butt raceways, defining respective needle curves.
  • Some of the segments of the cylinder and dial cam structures are formed with raceways which provide knitting feeds; others of the segments of the cylinder and dial cam structures are formed with raceways which provide transfer feeds.
  • All of the cam segments of the needle and dial structures are of equal angular extent.
  • the cam segments are individually removably mounted on the machine, and the needle raceways in the segments, regardless of whether made for knitting feeds or transfer feeds are so arranged that the terminal portions of the raceways in the segments are at matching position, to permit selective interchange and placement of the segments having raceways providing knitting feeds and segments having raceways providing transfer feeds, in any desired relationship.
  • the Jacquard selectors are controllable, independently, when controlling knitting feeds or transfer feeds.
  • Jacquard controllers which heretofore were controlled only from two control cams, one for the Jacquard pattern controller and one for the blanking or eliminator drum, now require four control inputs, one each for knitting, or transfer feeds.
  • the two controls are retained and are made to be selectively applicable to the Jacquard pattern selector drum, for example, the blanking drum then being controlled by an electric magnet operating on a latch, the electric magnet being easily energized since it does not by itself have to move the Jacquard selector but merely permit its otherwise powered motion, under control of an electrical signal.
  • FIG. 1 in individual views FIGS. 1a to If illustrate the position of cylinder and dial cam segments, respectively, for transfer feeds and knitting feeds, in various relationships, and in which FIG. If is representative of the prior art;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view illustrating a Jacquard selector for the cylinder needles only;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the Jacquard selector mechanism with a pair of selector control rings
  • FIG. 4 is an electrical circuit diagram of electrical interconnection
  • FIG. 5 is, a schematic representation of the needle curve, as controlled by the needle butt raceway of the dial cam, the curve of section a indicating a knitting feed and the curve b indicating a transfer feed;
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of the needle curve (line a), the cylinder and its needle butt raceway (line b) and the raising jack cam and the raising jack butt raceway (line 0), for non-knitting position at section A, for a knitting feed to make standard stitches at section B, for a knitting feed to make tuck stitches at section C, and for transfer feed at section D.
  • FIG. 1f illustrates a knitting machine in which all segments for the cams, of the cylinder and dial are all of equal angular extent, and all are cut with raceways which will provide knitting feeds. If it is desired to have a machine which is also capable of transferring stitches, that is, which is to have transfer feeds then, due to the difference in length of needle projection for transfer feeds to permit the cylinder needles to project so that the dial needles can engage the transfer eyes it has been deemed necessary to make the transfer feeds of wider angular extent than the 'knitting feeds.
  • the cam segments forming the knitting feeds and the transfer feeds all have the same angular extent, and are removably and interchangeably made, so that knitting feed movement or transfer feed movement of the needles can be individually selectively controlled, as desired, by merely removing interchangeable parts.
  • the needle raceways, defining the needle curves are so arranged that the ends of the raceways, at the segments, match each other so that the needles will smoothly be transferred from one segment to the other, without damage or spurious movement.
  • FIG. 1a to 2 illustrates various relationships and possibilities. Others may, of course, be used.
  • FIG. 1 f further illustrates that the same system, by placing only knitting feeds on the machine, can also be used similar to machines of the prior art, which did not permit, as in the special construction of the machine of the present invention, interchange of knitting and transfer feeds.
  • a Jacquard drum 1 has pattern jacks 2 located therein with the usual pattern butts. Coaxial with the pattern drum 1, and located therebelow, is a blanking drum or eliminator drum 3. The pattern jacks, likewise, are formed with blanking or eliminator butts 4. The ratchet wheel 5 is connected to the blanking drum 3, and a ratchet or index wheel 6 is connected, concentric with the shaft from wheel 5, to the pattern drum 1.
  • the Jacquard drum formed of pattern drum 1 and blanking drum 3 is indexed by a mechanism which includes an index lever 8 (FIG. 2), operated by an index cam follower 9.
  • One each such Jacquard selector is associated with a feed, and located at the circumference of the machine below the cylinder cams. It is secured to the machine between bearings located in lower and upper rings 16, 11 respectively.
  • the selector fingers or pattern levers 7 are located on a common shaft and are swingably mounted, moved in accordance with the position of the pattern and blanking butts, and radially pivoted, to engage the region of the selector butts 12 of the selector jacks 13.
  • This motion causes the raising jacks 16, located thereabove, to disengage the raising butt from the associated raising cam of the cylinder 19 and thus disable the cylinder needles 17, connected to the raising jacks 16, from being driven into knitting position.
  • This is obtained by engagement of the upper, forked end of the selector jacks 13 with the raising jacks 16.
  • the pivoted position is shown in dashed lines.
  • the aforementioned literature reference gives a complete and detailed explanation.
  • the needle bed is only schematically indicated at 15.
  • the Jacquard selector drums are retained in position by a shaft 20.
  • the selector drums are indexed, or operated by means of an operating mechanism which includes a removable, replaceable control shaft 36, carrying a cam follower roller 28 and corresponding to roller 9 (FIG. 2) but being removably located to be engaged by raising earns 32, or 31, selectively, each mounted on a cam track 29, 30, respectively.
  • Shaft 36, with the roller 28 located either as shown in FIG. 3 (engaging cam 32) or close to lever 27 so it will be engaged by cam 31, is connected to lever 27 which pivots about a pivot point 37.
  • Lever 27, when being raised at the end of pin 36 by the earns 31, 32, respectively, will release a latch lever 22 which, by means of a spring, cam pivot counterclockwise over a vertical axis.
  • Latch lever 22 has a ratchet arm 45 connected thereto at a pivot point 46, and only schematically shown, the ratchet arm 45 engaging ratchet wheel 6, to push the ratchet wheel by one or more indexed position, depending on the positioning of tooth 45, as well known and explained in detail in the aforementioned literature reference.
  • the pin 36, with cam follower roller 28 is preferably so made that it can be reversed and inserted backwards in a suitable opening in link 27, so that the roller will selectively engage the cam element 31, or 32.
  • Cam elements or wedges 31, 32 are mounted on movable rings 29, 30 which are moved in accordance with a pre-set control, and as well known in the art.
  • Machines of prior art constructions utilized one of the rings 29, or 30 to control indexing of the Jacquard pattern selector and the other to control indexing of the blanking or eliminator drum.
  • both rings 29, 30 are selectively used to control the pattern selector dru'm. This requires, additionally, means to control indexing of the blanking drum.
  • a solenoid magnet is secured to the support structure of the Jacquard pattern selector, the solenoid 25 having a movable armature pin 26 which is pivoted at 34 to a latch lever 24.
  • Latch lever 24 is secured to the Jacquard selector structure by means of a pivot screw 33.
  • Latch lever 24 engages end 22' of a ratchet lever 21; ratchet lever 21 has a ratchet tooth 23 thereon, which engages ratchet wheel 5, connected to the blanking drum 3, to move the blanking drum under influence of a spring.
  • the movement mechanism is well known and described, in greater detail, in the aforementioned publication, the difference being the control or release of the movement by solenoid 25.
  • the cam rings 29, are secured to a cambase 35 which is driven by the main cylinder drive gear or ring 39 (FIG. 2).
  • the cylinder segments (FIG. 1) with their cam races are readily removable from the machine structure, being secured thereto, as schematically indicated at 19' (FIG. 2).
  • the solenoids 25 are controlled by the circuit of FIG. 4.
  • a programming board, or program carrier 40 which may also be deemed a control unit is provided.
  • Control unit 40 has switches 49-1, 49-2, 49-3 49-n thereon (in which n corresponds to the number of feeds of the machine).
  • the control unit is synchronized with machine rotation by means of a synchronizing line 48, and has a pair of outputs 41, 42, which may be in the form of cables connected to the various solenoids 25 through elements which prevent mutual interference or feedback, such as well known OR-gates, which may be in the form of diodes. If the outputs from control unit 40, 41 are individual, they can be connected to terminals Y, Z which, in turn, connect to switches 43, controlling the individual solenoids 25.
  • Solenoids 25 can have individual switches 43' mounted right on the Jacquard drum support see FIG. 3. Switches 43 may, also, be contained within a switch unit, which may be part of the control unit 40, and ganged together, as schematically seen in FIG. 4. If the lines 41, 42 are cables, then the individual terminals of the cables, the energization of which is controlled by switches 49-1, 49-2 49-n and taken at points Y, Z are then connected to terminals X, in turn connecting with lines 44 connecting to solenoids 25.
  • the switches 49-1- 49-2, 49-3 49-n can be selectively set in upper or lower positions, as indicated for example with respect to switches 49-1, 49-2, and 49-3.
  • the setting of the switches can be indicated on a pattern carrier 50, having suitable holes, into which the switches in their respective upper, or lower positions fit, as indicated by holes 50-1, 50-2, and 50-3; pattern carrier 50 has as many holes as there switches, that is holes 50-1 50-n, wherein n is again the number of the total feeds of the machine.
  • Pulses from control unit 40, synchronized with machine operation by line 48 can then be transferred, selectively and sequentially, in accordance with switch positions from the cables of lines 41, 42 to the respective individual terminals X of the individual solenoids; or, if the-programming is to be done manually, the lines 41, 42 can be set for energization and either individualv switches 43' connected to either lines 41, or 42, in dependence on whether the particular solenoid is associated with a knitting feed or with a transfer feed, to be energized, in timed relationship with machine operation, as determined by the synchronizing line 48, which synchronizes stepping the energization of the switches 49-1, 49-2, 49-n, or synchronization of common outputs at terminals Y, Z for connection over switches 43, or 43 to the respective solenoids 25.
  • pulses from the control unit 40 are transferred to the respective circuits of cables 41, 42 to the respective switches 43, 43' and then to the magnets 25 over lines 44.
  • the needle curve that is, the path taken by the needle during a knitting feed is schematically illustrated for the dial in FIG. 5a.
  • the needle has various dwell periods and projects by a predetermined amount.
  • FIG. 5b illustrates the control of the dial knitting needle, that is, the needle curve upon transfer.
  • the needle projects by a predetermined amount which is approximately half the projection it would have for knitting, and then remains essentially stationary in its projected position, to be retracted at the end of the feed.
  • the rate of projection that is, the slope of the needle curve of FIG. 5b does not exceed the steepness of the slope of FIG. 5a, and the final position as well as the starting position of the needle curve, with respect to a fixed datum is the same.
  • the needle curves of adjacent segments in the dial will match, and the dial segments can be readily removed as well known.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates, at the left side, a needle and a raising jack similar to the raising jack of FIG. 2 (the remaining parts having been omitted) and the position of the needle and the raising jack within the respective cam races of the cylinders under various conditions of feed.
  • the raising cams are controlled such that the needle will not project; the upper cam track, which engages the needle butts has movable clearing cams 190, so that all needles can be brought into action, when this is required.
  • the position of the needles themselves can be controlled to provide a needle curve as shown in line a of FIG. 6. It is to be noted that the needles are, at the end of the feed, withdrawn slightly below a datum line. The start and finish position of the needles, regardless of the type of feed, must be the same with respect to this datum. Normal knitting feed is illustrated in section B, section C again illustrating a tuck stitch on the cylinder.
  • the needle In order to provide for a transfer, however, the needle must be driven out far beyond its normal knitting position, as schematically indicated in section D. This requires a different type of needle raceway, as seen at 19D.
  • the initial slope of this raceway must be so arranged that the needles will smoothly transfer from either a preceding transfer feed, or from a preceding section D, is so adjusted that the needle will effect this smooth transfer.
  • the particular angle can be obtained with little experimentation, and will depend on the diameter of the machine, speed of operation, quality of needle butts and the like. It is known from experience that it may be necessary, for an equal number of feeds, to increase the diameter of the machine in order to obtain a slope of the needle curve which is not too steep for operation of the needles. While the total number of needles can be kept constant, the cut of the needles will slightly increase, thus resulting in slightly coarser fabric being made on the machine, with, however, substantially greater versatility in pattern selection.
  • the invention is applicable to knitting machines having striping capability, in which striping apparatus is placed at each of the feeds, to make complete striping patterns, combined striping and multi-color Jacquard patterns, combined striping transfer Jacquard patterns, as well as combined striping multi-color transfer-and- Jacquard patterns, plain as well as multi-color Jacquard transfer patterns with floats, single, and multicolor Jacquard blister and puckered fabrics, the latter alone, or in combination with striping.
  • the present invention permits use of circular knitting machines as ordinary Jacquard machines having a com plement of knitting feeds, and adaptation of the same machine to provide a Jacquard transfer machine capable of making a great variety of knit fabric in many patterns.
  • the Jacquard selectors may remain in place during interchange of the machine segments; if the nature of the feed of a segment associated with a selector is changed, it merely suffices to interchange the direction of the pin 36 (FIG. 3) to match the Jacquard drum to the feed, and to throw a switch, thus providing for flexibility of use.
  • Typical knitting machines are, for example, Type SMJ, SRJP, SMH, SMJH, and other interlock circular knitting machines, eight lock circular knitting machines, single knit machines and the like made by Fouquet- Maschinene Frauz & Planck described in detail in their Radioirriting Instructions" and Montageund Radioan effet” (Installation and Operating Instructions”); reprint MELLIAND TEX- TILBERICHTE Heidelberg, Vol. 42, issue 12, 1961, pages 1363-1370.
