ABSTRACT:
A tail shortener is applied to cylinder and dial circular knitting machines for knitting ribbed socks so as to shorten the yarn tails that would otherwise occur on each yarn change. The upper flange periphery 17 of the dial 15 is formed with uniform yarn catching notches 16 arranged between slots 18 for dial hooks and cast-offs. A yarn lead-in surface 13 is formed in the outer periphery of the dial head 10' above the dial flange 17, and yarn lead-in surface 13 is located rotationally beyond yarn feed fingers 22 to extend inward of the radially inner extremities of yarn catching notches 16 in dial 15. A yarn cutter 30 mounted on dial head 10' near lead-in surface 13 is urged against upper flange 17 of dial 15 and arranged so that yarn catching notches 16 run under yarn cutter 30. These components are arranged so that each yarn change causes yarn tails to be drawn radially inward adjacent lead-in surface 13 where notches 16 catch each yarn tail near the needle 21 holding the yarn closest to the yarn tail so that each caught yarn is cut in passing under cutter 30, resulting in yarn change tails cut short enough to eliminate picking and clipping.
