Abstract: A heat dissipating system of a high-speed circular knitting machine includes a super low temperature air gun. Cold air is ejected from a cold air outlet of the super low temperature air gun for carrying away the high heat produced by a cylinder base during a knitting process. The super low temperature air gun is connected to an extension pipe and extended to a gap between a cutting disc and a pressing plate, or saddle bases, or a lower rhombus ring and two saddle bases, or yarn feeding nozzles. Cold air ejected from the cold air outlet passes through the gap to the cylinder base or other peripheral components of the high-speed circular knitting machine to achieve the heat dissipating effect. The super low temperature air gun is installed inside a leg for supporting a yarn supplying device or on its external surface or on a yarn feeding ring.

Abstract: A yarn feeder for circular knitting machines that have a plurality of knitting needles includes a first threading hole, a second threading hole and a jutting yarn guiding member on a lower edge for feeding three yarns corresponding to a knitting needle. The three yarns enter a hook of the knitting needle through the first and second threading holes and the yarn guiding member. The hook is a common point, forms a first included angle with the yarn guiding member and the first yarn threading hole, and forms a second included angle with the first threading hole and the second threading hole. The second included angle is larger than or equal to the first included angle. Thus the three yarns can be directed smoothly into the hook of the knitting needle without forming interference. Traveling of the three yarns is smoother.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a striping apparatus of a circular knitting machine, comprising: a selector, a controller, a yarn-feed unit, and a drive unit. The yarn-feed unit has two portions; the first portion includes a yarn-changing plate, which feeds a yarn into a yarn-entering position, and the second portion includes a movable blade, which clips the tail of the yarn when standby and cuts off an old yarn so that the old yarn can depart from fabric when changing yarns and the operation can back to the standby state. In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, different cams respectively drive the yarn-changing plate and the movable blade, and even though a new yarn and an old yarn are farther spaced, the timings of the cams can be adjusted to release the tail of new the yarn from the movable blade before it is torn off.
