摘要:
An apparatus for guiding yarn into a hook or to a predetermined position of a rear face of a needle of a flat knitting machine, and for guiding the yarn without making large horizontal advancing and retracting movements of a yarn guiding member of the yarn guiding apparatus. The apparatus guides the yarn, when a yarn pushing down operating edge at an end of the yarn guide member is engaged with and pushes down the yarn so that the yarn is slidably moved, without applying a high resistance to the yarn and parallel needles and sinkers, on at least one pair of needle beds having head portions opposed to each other with respect to the center of knock-over edge portions. Yarn holding members, each having a yarn pushing down edge operating at an end thereof, are supported for sliding movement toward the knock-over edge portion, with means for moving each of the yarn pushing down operating edges downward during or after sliding advancement of the yarn holding member.

A yarn guiding apparatus for a flat knitting machine in which a pair of opposed needle beds defines a knock over edge area and a center line therebetween. A yarn holding member is arranged between a needle and a sinker mounted on a needle bed. The yarn holding member is moveable relative to the knock over edge area and has an operating face for pushing down a yarn fed from a yarn feeder to the knock over edge area. The operating face is configured for contacting the yarn and for pushing the yarn down toward a needle when the yarn holding member is advanced toward the knock over edge area. The yarn holding member is advanceable to a position in which a portion of the yarn holding member extends beyond the center line defined by the opposing needle beds.

A flexible cable support is provided in a flat knitting machine for supporting power supply cables. The flat knitting machine comprises a carriage that reciprocates along a needle bed. The flexible cable support and the power supply cables are connected at one end to a terminal unit on the needle bed at a position representing approximately the middle of the travel path of the carriage. The other end is connected to the reciprocating carriage. The flexible cable support is composed of a series of joint sections pivotally connected to each other forming a continuous flexible support so that, as the carriage reciprocates, the cables supported on the flexible support are allowed to freely bend and move with the carriage.

A sinker mechanism which includes multiple knitting needles placed in parallel above a needle bed with each sinker being mounted so that it can rock up and down so that its tip descends between adjacent knitting needles. A yarn-catching hook is provided at one sinker end; downward pressure is applied by a spring that can be removed from and replaced into the sinker so the yarn-catching hook will drop between adjacent knitting needles, and this downward force is adjustable so the yarn-catching hook's position is a function of the tension in the yarn it is holding. The sinker is located in the cut-out portion of the needle plate with the capability to rock up and down so that its back end can be linked to the end of the needle plate, and that the plate and is configured so that an arm projects to touch the rear cam. A spacer is provided whose front end is adjacent to the sinker's middle portion when the sinker is joined to the needle plate, and the spacer's back end is joined to the needle plate beside the sinker at a point higher than the knitting needle.

A plurality of compound needles 1 are arranged in corresponding needle tricks 20, their butts 11, 14 being selectively caused to sink into the needle tricks during the movement of a carriage. A stitch receiving course raising cam 41 which acts on the butts 14 of individual needle bodies at welt position (WC) is disposed on a cam plate 31 of the carriage and in a space defined between a pair of cam faces 32a of a tuck position raising cam 32 which act on the butts 14 of individual needle bodies. Above the cam 41 there are provided stitch receiving courses (REC) for the butts 14 which lead to a tucking course (TC) through the space 40, and a stitch transfer position raising cam 37 which acts on the butt 14 of each needle body raised to a tuck position or knit position. On the cam plate 31 there are also provided slider guide cams 42 for acting on the butts 11 of sliders 5 to lower the sliders to the tuck course (TC), and sliders raising cam 36 for acting on the butts 11 of sliders 5 raised to the tuck course (TC) to raise the sliders to a level suitable for their passage above the slider guide cams 42. The compound needles 1 in the flat knitting machine may be selectively caused to knit, tuck, welt, or perform stitch transfer.

A fitting room (11) as a dressing room is adapted to have its entrance (12) opened and closed by drawing a curtain (14). The curtain is suspended from the tip ends of beam members of a curtain suspension apparatus (15) mounted on a ceiling plate (17). When closing the entrance (12), the curtain suspension apparatus (15) can deploy the curtain (14) in such a manner as to spread it outwardly relative to the fitting room (11) with respect to the entrance (12). The interior space closed with the curtain (14) can thus be enlarged when the curtain (14) is closed to use the fitting room (11). When the curtain (14) is opened, the space that was occupied by the curtain (14) when it was closed can be used for other purposes.

Grooves for receiving a movable loop forming plate are made in both front and back needle beds at the top ends thereof on the trick gap side, and movable loop forming plates are mounted in the grooves. A loop forming edge is provided at the top end of each movable loop forming plate, and the plate is energized by a spring in a direction that the plate moves away from the trick gap, and the plate is made to move forward or backward by a movable loop forming plate control means, around a fulcrum that is provided on the needle bed in the bottom of the trick gap.

A yarn feeding system of a flat knitting machine having needle beds. Each needle bed having a plurality of needles. A plurality of yarn carrier rails extend in parallel to the needle beds in a longitudinal direction of the needle beds. A cam carriage reciprocates over the needle beds while yarn carriers caught/released by a yarn carrier catcher mounted on the cam carriage travels on a yarn carrier rail to feed yarn to the needles of the needle beds. The yarn feeding system has shifting members that extend along and in the longitudinal direction of the yarm carrier rails. A shifter reciprocally shifts the shifting members in the longitudinal direction of the yarn carriers. An engager engages the yarn carriers to the shifting members such that the yarn carriers are disengaged and released from the shifting members when catching and carrying is affected by the catcher.

When a new yarn is received by a hook to form a new stitch loop, to prevent old stitch loops from going beyond the top end of the slider and being knocked over, the advanced position of the slider into the trick gap is maintained, and the new stitch loops are pulled into the old stitch loops. Next, the hook of a compound needle of the opposing needle bed is inserted into the old stitch loop, and said slider is lowered and retracted, and at the same time, the old stitch loops are transferred onto the hooks of the opposing needle bed to make split knit.

Stitch loops are securely pressed down and retained. The pressing and retaining position of the loop presser is properly adjusted according to the tension in the stitch loops. The loop presser 460 of a flat knitting machine is stored in a groove 445 of an auxiliary bed, and the loop retainer 462 is energized downward by an arm 465 and a cam 422. The loop retainer is swung downward by the cam 422 when it is advanced, and the retainer is swung back to the initial position when it is retracted. The top end of the loop retainer 462 is made to move forward to and over the opposing needle bed.
