Abstract: A knit tape manufacturing device comprising a framework, a driver supported on the framework, a feeding and guiding mechanism composed of a plurality of feeding means which, arranged peripherally, are rotatorily driven on the framework about a longitudinal axis by the driver through a power transmission mechanism and fed under guidance along a longitudinal direction a circular knitted fabric stretched externally therearound, an operating mechanism which operates the feeding means by the driver, and a cutting means for cutting spirally the rotating circular knitted fabric into a tape of width corresponding to the specific feed length which is located adjacent to the forward end of the feeding and guiding mechanism.

Abstract: In a knitted tape manufacturing device of the type designed to stretch and rotate a cylindrical knitted fabric around two drums and one roller and to continuously cut the fabric in a tape shape off from the upper circumferential edge portion thereof along a certain width of the fabric in a bias direction and including a support mechanism of the driven drum for feeding uniform width tape in the knitted tape manufacturing device wherein the support mechanism of the driven drum is adjustable so as to bring the axis of the pivot pin of the driven drum in the support mechanism into substantial agreement with the extended line of a tangent at the entering point at which the upper circumferential edge of the cylindrical knitted fabric enters the driven drum.
