A CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINE HAVING FOUR FEEDS, A PAIR OF YARN GUIDES FOR EACH FEED, FOR FEEDING A PAIR OF SEPARATED YARNS AT SAID FEED, MEANS CAUSING ALTERNATE NEEDLES TO PASS BETWEEN THE YARNS OF EACH PAIR OF YARN GUIDES AND CAUSING INTERMEDIATE NEEDLES TO ENGAGE AND KNIT SAID YARNS TO FORM A DOUBLE YARN STITCH, SAID ALTERNATE NEEDLES CASTING OFF, UN-KNIT, THE YARN FROM A FIRST YARN OF ANOTHER PAIR OF YARN GUIDES AND FLOATING THE SECOND YARN OF ANOTHER PAIR PAIR OF YARN GUIDES.
摘要:
A circular knitting machine of the type providing a reinforcement of knit tubular fabric for flexible hose, having a needle cylinder provided with a series of like pairs of spaced slots containing individual latch needles therein wherein the latch needles function in cooperating pairs. The machine functions the pair of needles in each pair of slots in unison with their hooks commonly disposed during such operation, to knit a wale of single spread stitches upon each pair of needles, the needle cylinder having a forecut common to each pair of spaced slots. A long shanked needle and a short shanked needle comprise each pair thereof with the short needles operated by a first set of cams and with the long needles operated by a second and similar set of cams, the cam sets being spaced and being angularly displaced a number of degrees equal to the number of degrees in the angular spacing between the needle slots of each pair thereof.
