Device for measuring the length of yarn absorbed by a textile machine

摘要

This invention relates to an improved device for measuring the length of yarn absorbed by a textile machine, comprising in known manner a rotating member driven by the yarn during displacement thereof. It presents three fixed guides over which the yarn passes and which are positioned near the rotating member so that the yarn is in contact with the rotating member along two substantially equal arcs of low value, for example from 20 DEG to 50 DEG and advantageously 30 DEG . The device is more particularly applicable to measuring the length of yarn absorbed per stitch on flat knitting machines.
