Publication number: 20090293549Abstract: A method for knitting manufactured articles with circular knitting machines, particularly high-fineness circular knitting machines, which consists in that at least once during the formation of the manufactured article the number of active needles is reduced by transferring the last loop of knitting formed by certain needles to contiguous needles and thus excluding from knitting the needles that have transferred the loop of knitting during the formation of at least one subsequent row of knitting by the other needles that are kept active. This provides a manufactured article which has regions knitted with a certain number of needles and regions knitted with a smaller number of needles, obtaining particular transparency or shaping effects on the manufacture.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2006Publication date: December 3, 2009Inventors: Ettore Lonati, Tiberio Lonati, Fausto Lonati

Patent number: 5546769Abstract: An interlock circular knitting machine for knitting a double-knit fabric in which multiple yarns are knit into cylinder needle and dial needle wales, by two types of cylinder needles and two types of dial needles supplied by yarn carriers with multiple yarns, and controlled by a needle selecting cam system through first and second processes which cause the needles to move between high-tucking, holding, clearing and welt positions so that two yarns are knit together into stitch loops in each wale, the stitch loops in adjacent wales in each course being knit of one yarn from the stitch loop in the adjacent wale in the same course and a yarn from a stitch loop in the adjacent wale from an adjacent course.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1995Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Assignee: Precision Fukuhara Works, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Igarashi, Yoshiro Ito

Patent number: 5515697Abstract: A rib jacquard knitting machine including dial needles arranged on the dial, cylinder needles arranged on the needle cylinder to knit loops with the dial needles, transfer needles and pelerine needles respectively arranged on the needle cylinder to make transfer stitches and eyelet stitches. A knit selector selectively drives the pelerine needles and the transfer needles into operative positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1994Date of Patent: May 14, 1996Assignee: Pai Lung Machinery Mill Co., LtdInventor: Wan-Yih Chen

Patent number: 4956981Abstract: Each feed of the multiple feed circular knitting machine is provided with selector cams to position needles in one of four positions, knit, tuck, welt and early withdrawal positions. Two types of knitting needles are provided and each type of needle includes a master butt with a knite selector butt and a tuck selector butt. The selector cams are mounted on rotatable selector cam cylinders which are positioned to overlap each other to permit the selector cams to be arranged at the closest possible lateral distance from each other and to thereby permit an increased number of feeds to be positioned around the machine. The early withdrawal position of the selector cams is provided so that the dial needles do not interfere with the formation of stitch loops by the cylinder needles, when knitting on only the cylinder needles, such as when forming blister knit stitch constructions.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1989Date of Patent: September 18, 1990Assignee: Precision Fukuhara Works, Ltd.Inventor: Yukiari Iida

Patent number: 4353229Abstract: Weft double knitted fabric has a looped structure with some knitted loops drawn in one direction and other knitted loops drawn in an opposite direction. Yarns of some courses are drawn into knitted loops in both directions to form knit stitches on both faces of the fabric. Yarns of other courses are drawn into knitted loops in a first direction only to form knit stitches on one face only of the fabric. Yarns of still other courses are drawn into knitted loops in the second direction only to form knitted stitches on the other face only of the fabric. An inlay yarn is formed exclusively into tuck stitches extending in both directions, with different yarns drawn through the tuck stitches to form knit stitches on opposite faces of the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1979Date of Patent: October 12, 1982Assignee: Wildt Mellor Bromley LimitedInventors: William Hutchinson, Klaus L. P. Wermelt

Patent number: 4068498Abstract: The circular knitting machine comprises at least one sinking cam and one movable cam enabling a selection of knitting elements to occupy several positions. The sinking cam is rotatably biased into a working position in which its working ramp cooperates with the butts of the knitting elements selected for knitting and can be moved to a rest position in which the working ramp cooperates with the knitting elements which are welting. The sinking cam is held in its rest position by a surface thereon which engageingly cooperates with a locking means on the movable cam when the movable cam is in a position to cause the knitting elements to welt.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1975Date of Patent: January 17, 1978Assignee: ASA S.A.Inventor: Norbert Bourgeois
