ABSTRACT:
A variable speed drive motor is provided for imparting rotation to the improved and simplified gear assembly of the present invention so that the main drive shaft may be rotated at selected rates of speed. The drive gears includes a segment gear continuously moved in a back-and-forth movement and being operable to selectively impart reciprocatory motion to a cylinder drive shaft. Resilient means, in the form of a compression spring, is supported by the frame of the machine and is positioned to be engaged by the segment drive gear during at least one end portion of the back-and-forth movement thereof to reduce the noise and vibration of the gear assembly and to permit operation of the knitting machine at increased rates of speed during both rotary and reciprocating knitting.
