ATTACHING BINDING STRIPS TO KNITWEAR ON LINKING MACHINES

摘要

In order to allow the so called "casual" impaling of the edges of the binding strip and of the knit-wear article on the points of the rotary dial of a linking machine, the strip is formed at its opposite longitudinal edges with tabs which are superimposed on the inner face of the binding strip before the latter is bent to channel shape. Thicker end portions are formed on the free longitudinal edges of said tabs in order to permit semi-automatic impaling of the binding strip onto the points using guides provided with through slots directed towards the annular path of the points. A further guide allowing a semi-automatic impaling of the article edge to be sewn to the binding strip, may be also provided.
