Abstract: The striper of the system is provided with yarnguide rods which are pivotable to a position conducive to delivery of yarn to the needle. The rod to be pivoted is selected by a selector which imposes a small movement on a slide member and this small movement causes the slide member to be moved by a first radial cam such that its movement causes pivoting of the rod. Independently of said pivoting, a closing lever and an opening lever respectively adapted to retain and cut the yarn or release it are always moved. The movement of said levers, is only effective when at least one yarnguide rod has pivoted. There is a striper for each cam section and all of them are controlled by a single selection box containing the selectors.

Abstract: The selection system is based on a reciprocal action of a selector jack for each needle and operative cams, such that each selector jack may not be selected or may be selected one or two times during its engagement with one same operative cam, owing to the existence of two electronic controls for each cam. Each control includes a box having a plurality of selectors for the jacks, and the selectors may be moved from a retracted inoperative position to an extended activated position for a very short period of time due to a special arrangement of magnets.

Abstract: A circular knitting machine for introducing one or more independent wrap yarns to selected needles to form walewise effects in a fabric of jersey construction. The introduction is effected by yarn wrapper assemblies, each comprising a slidable, first member adapted for a radial movement relative to the circular knitting machine and a rotatable, second member pivotably mounted to the first member and having a yarn guide element. The first and second members of the yarn wrapper assembly are imparted with independent but simultaneous, synchronized movement whereby an individual yarn is introduced by the yarn guide element into the hooks of selectively raised needles in a non-circular arcuate path.

Abstract: A process for knitting a single-faced pile fabric is disclosed, based on the raising and lowering of conventional needles and the movement of throated sinkers, each sinker having the throat extended and provided with a sloping shoulder in the lower edge thereof, a re-entrant bevel on the upper leading edge, a downwardly extending surface and a notch on the upper edge.
