Dial mechanism for knitting machine
Abstract
Abstract A DIAL MECHANISM FOR A KNITTING MACHINE COMPRISES A DIAL MEMBER ROTATABLE THROUGH A PLURALITY OF KNITTING STATIONS. KNITTING NEEDLES ARE CARRIED BY THE DIAL MEMBER. EACH OF THE KNITTING NEEDLES HAS A NEEDLE-MOVING JACK ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. CERTAIN OF THE NEEDLE-MOVING JACKS ARE LONG BUTT JACKS AND CERTAIN OF THE OTHER NEEDLE-MOVING JACKS ARE SHORT BUTT JACKS. CAM MEANS ARE LOCATED AT EACH KNITTING STATION AND DEFINE A KNITTING CAM TRACK AND A WELTING CAM TRACK, RESPECTIVELY, INTO WHICH BUTTS ON THE NEEDLE-MOVING JACKS MOVE, DEPENDING UPON THE POSITION OF THE NEEDLE-MOVING JACKS AS THEY MOVE THROUGH EACH STATION. AN ELECTROMAGNETIC SELECTOR MECHANISM IS PROVIDED AT EACH STATION FOR VARYING THE POSITION OF THE NEEDLE-MOVING JACKS RELATIVE TO THEIR ASSOCIATED NEEDLE TO CONTROL THE OPERATION OF THE NEEDLES IN THE STATION.
