ABSTRACT:
The safety gate extends between and normally encloses the entire space between adjacent legs of a circular knitting machine to prevent the operator from being injured by a knit fabric take up roll mechanism which rotates beneath the needle cylinder and extends downwardly between the vertical support legs. The safety gate includes individual safety gate elements which are divided into upper and lower sections with the upper section being supported on the lower section for vertical movement between a raised closed position and a lowered open position. At least one of the gate element is hingedly connected on one side to one of the vertical support legs to permit the safety gate element to swing horizontally between closed and open positions between the vertical legs for permitting removal of the fabric take up roll. The upper section of the safety gate element is movable to the lowered open position to permit access to the area immediately beneath the bed plate without requiring horizontal swinging movement of both the lower and upper sections of the safety gate element.
