<p>1,136,382. Knitting J. C. DOUGHTY. 16 Feb., 1967 [17 Nov., 1965], No. 48806/65. Headings D1C and D1K. Patterning is produced on a flat bed knitting-machine by the provision of needle blocks 5, 6, 9, 10 containing groups of auxiliary needles which co-operate with the needles of the main beds 1, 2 to produce a superimposed pattern on the fabric produced by the needles of the main beds, Fig. 1. The blocks 5, 9 associated with one main bed 1 are positioned at two different levels as are the blocks 6, 10 associated with the other bed 2, and each block of a pair is capable of being shogged under or over its co-operating block. The blocks, which are moved periodically lengthwise of the machine, cause their wale loop structure to extend at an angle to the wales of the main fabric and when the blocks cross one another a cable stitch appearance is achieved. In addition the position of the blocks can be reversed by elevating one block to an uppermost position and by lowering the other block. By cooperating needle movement a purl or rib fabric can have a plain, purl or rib patterned construction superimposed upon it. Alternatively plain strips may extend lengthwise or at an angle to the fabric. The inclusionof loop transfer mechanism may produce a fashioned fabric which can be bordered by a walewise strip formed by the auxiliary needles. The auxiliary needles may be fed by an additional feeder in conjunction with the main feeder in which case appendages may be formed having one edge knitted into the main fabric but with the remainder of the fabric knitted independently and extruding free from the main fabric.</p> |
