Appl. No.:

5/574594

Inventors:

Paul W. Eschenbach - Inman SC
Herbert Ray King - Spartanburg SC

Assignee:

Deering Milliken Research Corporation - Spartanburg SC

International Classification:

D04B 3500

US Classification:

66147

Abstract:

An improved circular knitting machine which provides for semiautomatic doffing of large diameter rolls of knit fabric. The doffing of the fabric can be accomplished by a woman operator without strain. The knitting machine has a unique spreader bar to allow slitting of the fabric for inspection purposes while the fabric is being knit. The unique spreader bar includes a support member having a wheel member and a convex portion adjacent the wheel member to guide a fabric around the wheel.

International Classification:

F16D 1100

US Classification:

192 67P

Abstract:

An improved circular knitting machine which provides for semiautomatic doffing of large diameter rolls of knit fabric. The doffing of the fabric can be accomplished by a woman operator without strain. The improved circular knitting machine provides a quick disconnect from the drive to take the tension of the machine to allow machine repair without extensive dismounting of the machine.

Filed:

Oct 9, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/658741

Inventors:

Herbert R. King - Spartanburg SC

Assignee:

Milliken Research Corporation - Spartanburg SC

International Classification:

D06B 102

US Classification:

68205R

Abstract:

Apparatus for the application of liquids to moving material, such as patterned application of dyes to moving textile material, including a liquid applicator positioned above the material path of travel for continuously discharging liquid in a row of plural streams downwardly onto the material, means for selectively deflecting selected of the continuously flowing streams in accordance with a pattern control device, and collection means for receiving the deflected liquid to prevent its contact with the moving material. The apparatus includes a novel air comb with air supply tubes in a pre-selected position relative to its particular dye jet in order to efficiently deflect the dye jet in the proper direction at the proper time.
