ABSTRACT:
A fabric feed-on apparatus for a linking machine having a rotatable dial of points, the device including a fabric push-on device operable to push fabric onto and down the shanks of the points during rotation of the dial of points, and a fabric uncurling device movably mounted for movement between an operative position and an inoperative position, the uncurling device in said operative position being located adjacent to and upstream of the push-on device so as to be able to guide and uncurl fabric edges to the push-on device during rotation of the dial of points to thereby cause the fabric edges to be impaled on the points, the uncurling device in said inoperative position being located at a remote stowed location so as to provide clear access to the dial of points. The push on device preferably comprises a plurality of spaced fingers arranged side by side by side on a movable support, the fingers being arranged in used to be moved along a path passing in board of the terminal end of the points such that each finger passes between an adjacent pair of points to thereby push fabric located on those points down their shanks.
