ABSTRACT:
Fine gauge knitting machines utilized in the production of hosiery and comprising needle cylinders three and three-quarter to four inches in diameter and carrying 300 to 469 needles are modified for the production of outerwear garments and the like knitted with relatively large loose loops by replacing the sinker caps thereof by sinker caps which are 0.060 to 0.100 of an inch less in interior diameter than those used in such machines for the production of hosiery, and replacing the sinker throw-in cam and the sinker throw-out cam by cams which differ from those used in the machine for the production of hosiery to use this additional space for sinker movement, by replacing the sinkers by sinkers having bottom legs 0.030 to 0.075 of an inch shorter than those used in corresponding conventional machines for the production of hosiery, and by replacing a stitch cam or cams by those which are 0.038 to 0.043 of an inch further withdrawn at the deeper operative surface thereof on a line such that the needles substantially maintain their vertical position until this line is reached and thereafter draw down the yarn rapidly to form a large stitch, and the throw-at plate by a plate which is 0.015 to 0.032 of an inch less thick than that of a corresponding hosiery machine. The tubular portions formed on such machines may be slit and joined to each other to provide the desired garments. Latch needles may be effectively used. In certain instances modification of the latch ring may be provided in connection with means for controlling the transfer stitches to turn cuffs and waistbands. Outerwear having desirable characteristics is provided.
