Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an insert component for a textile machine, a packaging for at least one insert component for a textile machine, a method for supplying at least one insert component to a textile machine and for operating the textile machine, and a system for further processing textile material, the system comprising a textile machine and at least one insert component for operating the textile machine. Background Art

[0002] It is known to insert components into corresponding textile machines and use them to produce textiles. Such insert components include textile tools. Textile tools have in common that they extend in the longitudinal direction between a front end and a rear end. Typically, textile tools, within the meaning of this disclosure, are very long, meaning their longitudinal extension is significantly greater than their extension in the other two spatial directions.

[0003] At a certain distance from the rear end of these textile tools, the working section of the textile tool begins. This working section is designed for yarn contact and / or loop formation. In the case of a knitting needle, the large (rear) part is designed to slide in the needle path of the knitting machine. In the front area of ​​this needle is a hook that forms the loop during the knitting process. The hook and the front part of the needle that comes into contact with the yarn form the working section of the needle.

[0004] Knitting needles also include so-called slip needles, in which a slider slides along the needle shaft during knitting, opening and closing the needle hook and participating in the transport of half loops during knitting. Therefore, the slider also comes into contact with the yarn during knitting and meets the above-mentioned definition of a textile tool. WO 2016 165 991 A1 relates in particular to such sliders.

[0005] So-called sinkers are also usually used for knitting, which likewise have a working section in their front region which makes contact with the yarn during the knitting process and in particular holds or interrupts the stitches.

[0006] The knitting needle is primarily fastened to the yarn guide by its rear end. The needle also has a hook at its front end for forming the loop. Other textile tools used in loop-forming machines are also known. Thus, various machine manufacturers use a range of different tools in hosiery knitting machines for closing the heel end of a sock.

[0007] Very common here are transfer elements, often called "Spillos" (singular) or "Spilli" (plural). These elements typically have a tapering front end that is designed to be inserted into the loops at the end of the semi-finished sock, which is still in the form of a tubular fabric. This allows the semi-finished sock to undergo the next processing step, namely, the heel-end sewing, in a loop-accurate manner. Elements of this type are shown, for example, in CN20685196U.

[0008] EP 2 873 761 B1 also describes components used in conjunction with sock closures, and these components are particularly referred to as "transfer devices," "transfer members," and "strip members." Given the fineness of sock yarns, the textile tools mentioned in this context for sock closures are often very small and difficult to manipulate. Within the meaning of this disclosure, in addition to the aforementioned loop-forming and loop-manipulating tools, sewing needles and felting needles are also particularly textile tools.

[0009] In addition to textile tools, system components are also used as inserts in textile machines. These system components do not come into direct contact with the yarn or material during the operation of the textile machine, but they transmit the forces or torques required for the textile process to the textile tools (drive) or they assist in the selection of textile tools during the textile process (selection components). Force or torque is also often transmitted for the latter purpose (selection). WO 2020 / 250088 A1 is an example of transmitting forces or torques for driving downstream textile tools, which describes "flat parts" for transmitting forces to knitting needles during knitting.

[0010] As an example of a selection element, wherein the insertion element then participates in the selection of the textile tool during the knitting operation and thus enables, for example, the production of textiles with a pattern (e.g. jacquard knitting), EP 859881 B1 is mentioned: This is a "sinker for selecting and controlling the stitch-forming movement of a needle tool in a knitting machine", which participates in the selection of the textile tool in the textile production process in the aforementioned method and manner. Another relatively straightforward example is provided by US 4644762 A. In it Figure 1A selection component (here "jack") with the reference symbol "SCH" is shown in FIG. The selection component has a heel (butts in English) to which force can be transmitted, for example, from a cam component (Schlossteil) during knitting. The selection component can transmit this force to the needle "N" with its front end via another system component without a reference symbol. For this purpose, all three aforementioned components are inserted displaceably into a groove (reference symbol 51 in US 4 644 762) of the needle path cylinder. The dimensions and working position of the selection component are therefore very similar to those of the textile tool "needle N", and therefore the same applies to the assembly of the needle cylinder with these system components, as with the textile tool: it is difficult and time-consuming.

[0011] In summary, the aforementioned insert components (system components and textile tools) have a number of common features.

[0012] Typically, they are separated during their initial production by punching holes from sheet metal. They are usually inserted into narrow guide channels, where they are usually held displaceably. As already mentioned, inserting many such inserts presents problems for the assembler or operator of the respective textile machine: The initial assembly of the insert and the replacement of a damaged insert with a new one are difficult.

[0013] Against this background, EP 3 889 330 A1 aims to improve the production and handling of textile tool pairs by connecting the two textile tools of the pair via a targeted breaking point. The teachings of the aforementioned publications do have advantages with regard to specialized textile tools. However, it has been shown that there are numerous insert components for textile machines, and the handling of these insert components during insertion into the machine requires further improvement. Therefore, the present invention is aimed at further facilitating the supply and assembly of insert components to textile machines, as well as facilitating their operation. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This object is achieved by claims 1, 7, 10 and 14 of the present disclosure.

[0015] The measures proposed in this publication result in each insert being connected to (at least one) operating element, which aids in inserting the insert into the machine, but does not itself have to be inserted into the machine. Furthermore, it has been shown that the freedom of form (of the operating element) required by the invention leads to further advantages when handling the component to be inserted.

[0016] As already mentioned, the longitudinal direction (z) of the insert component is the direction along which the insert component, remaining in the textile machine after the target breaking point has been separated, has its greatest extension. In this longitudinal direction, the insert component extends between its front and rear ends. The insert component also extends in two other spatial directions, in which it typically has a significantly smaller extension. The extension of the insert component in its width direction—particularly in the case of stitch-forming tools—is usually determined by its fineness and is therefore relatively small. The extension in the height direction, particularly in the case of stitch-forming tools, is of course significantly greater than the extension in the width direction, but still significantly smaller than its extension in the longitudinal direction.

[0017] As mentioned at the beginning, the insert component can be a textile tool. This textile tool has a working section that is located in the front area of ​​the textile tool. Therefore, this working section of the textile tool is spaced apart from the rear end of the textile tool. The working section contacts the yarn or material to be processed and can be used to form loops in the case of a loop-forming tool. In the case of a knitting needle, the entire hook area and the area where the half loop moves on the upper side of the needle during knitting operation are considered to be in the working area. In the case of other textile tools, such as the "Spillo" (a loop transfer tool for sock closures) described above, the tip of the Spillo and a portion of its rod adjacent to the tip are of course considered to be in the working area. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the parts of the corresponding textile tool that come into contact with the yarn or material during the operation of the textile machine. In the case of a needle, the tip and the area of ​​the rod that respectively penetrate into the material during engagement are considered to be in the working area of ​​the needle.

[0018] Regarding the use of the term "system component," reference is also made to the preceding paragraph regarding the prior art. Within the meaning of this disclosure, a system component is used to select or drive a textile tool. In a knitting machine, such a system component is typically inserted into the same slot as the needles or sinkers and therefore has the same "thickness," that is, the same widthwise extension within the meaning of the preceding concepts of this disclosure. A system component has a working section that transmits force or torque to the textile tool or other system components. Typically, the system component also has sections that primarily absorb this force or torque. These sections can be designed like the heel of a needle. However, the system component is also typically the front and rear ends of a system component. The system component directly or indirectly (via one or more additional system components) transmits force or torque to the textile tool, and in this way enables the selection of the textile tool or the system component to drive the textile tool.

[0019] According to the present invention, the insert component, when delivered by its manufacturer or distributor, is connected to the operating component via the target breaking point. The operating component can be shaped arbitrarily and, in particular, differently from the insert component. Therefore, the operating component can also be significantly larger than the insert component, which is typically very delicate. The freedom of shape of the operating component according to the present invention (compared to EP 3 889 330 A1) naturally also facilitates precise installation of the target breaking point in a position that is as convenient as possible for inserting the insert component into the textile machine. There are insertion situations for the insert component in which the target breaking point is not located at the rear end of the insert component, but at another location. Furthermore, the operating component, or the unit consisting of the operating component and the insert component, can also have a longitudinal axis that has an angle, preferably a right angle, in the rear region (i.e., in particular, the region of the operating component). In particular, with needles and sinkers inserted into a needle dial or knitting cylinder, it is advantageous for the insert component to have a longitudinal extension, particularly along the height direction of the relevant aforementioned textile tool or system component. In this case, an additional or further advantageous option is to arrange the target breaking point at the upper edge of the textile tool or system component. If the relevant unit consisting of the insertion part and the operating part is thus inserted into the needle dial or the knitting cylinder, the operating part extends in the height direction of the insertion part beyond the needle track in which the insertion part is located, so that the operating part can perform a pivoting movement with components in the height direction and in the width direction of the textile tool and which separates the target breaking point. In this case, the pivot axis of the aforementioned movement advantageously extends in the longitudinal direction of the textile tool and along its upper edge. If the position of the target breaking point is above or at the same height as the upper edge of the needle track in the height direction of the insertion part, the pivoting movement can then be carried out particularly unimpeded and therefore advantageously. Even if the distance between the target breaking point and the lower edge of the insert element in the height direction of the insert element is less than the height of the trough channel in which the relevant insert element occupies its operating position, the machine operator can still achieve this situation: In this case, the machine operator inserts the insert element "from above" into the trough channel until the target breaking point is located just before or above the height of the upper edge of the trough channel wall. The machine operator then performs a pivoting movement to separate the target breaking point. Finally, the insert element slides into its operating position, and the portion of the target breaking point remaining on the insert element does not obstruct other textile machine components.

[0020] Another advantageous additional option is to coordinate the insert element and the associated textile machine so that the portion of the target breaking point remaining on the insert element after releasing the target breaking point does not collide with parts of the textile machine during operation. In this case, an advantageous measure is to position the target breaking point in the height direction of the insert element so that when the insert element reaches the bottom of the trough-shaped channel, the target breaking point is above or at the same height as the upper edge of the needle track, but below the cam element of the associated system's textile machine for further processing the textile. When the insert element has reached its height position, the target breaking point can then be released.

[0021] Another advantageous possibility is to arrange the target breaking point on or at the heel of the insert element. In the latter case, the portion of the target breaking point remaining on the insert element then becomes part of the heel and slides through the cam element of the textile machine, preferably a knitting machine, during operation of the textile machine.

[0022] Furthermore, each insert element designed according to the invention can be inserted into the relevant textile machine using suitable operating elements. When using the method according to EP 3 889 330 A1, each needle tool pair retains a sinker that must be inserted in the conventional manner, i.e. without operating aids.

[0023] In the sense of the present invention, a target breaking point is a point at which the insert and the operating part are connected to each other and which is constructed so that it bends more easily or can be separated more easily under load than adjacent parts of the insert and the operating part. The target breaking point can be separated manually and without tools, thereby facilitating the assembly or insertion of the insert. For example, the target breaking point can be achieved by reducing the material cross-section and / or by changing the material properties at the target breaking point, such as by embrittlement of the metal. The separation of the target breaking point can be carried out, in particular, by rotating the operating part about a rotation axis or tilting the operating part about a bending axis. In many inserts, the bending axis advantageously extends along the height direction of the insert, or the orientation of the bending axis has at least a height component and, if necessary, can also include components in other spatial directions, but preferably the longitudinal direction. It is advantageous for the rotation axis to include at least a longitudinal component and, if necessary, also components in other spatial directions.

[0024] The operating part is shaped so that it cannot be used as an insert part in the relevant textile machine. The preferred shape is simple and corresponds to a rectangular connecting piece. Usually, the connecting piece has a projection, which can also be called a transverse strut, which preferably extends at a right angle from the connecting piece in the positive or negative height direction. In particular, in combination with a small insert part, it is advantageous if the insert part remaining in the machine after the target breaking point is separated is smaller than the operating part. The greater length of the operating part usually helps to separate the target breaking point through the lever effect. In particular, in parts manufactured from sheet metal by punching, this usually means that the operating part advantageously has a larger surface in the plane spanned by the longitudinal and height directions of the insert part than the insert part remaining in the machine after the target breaking point is separated. Advantageously, the entire unit consisting of the insert part and the operating part is produced during the manufacturing process. In other words, the entire part is punched out of the sheet metal, for example, and moves through the processing stations required, for example, for manufacturing knitting needles. The net effect is that an insert is provided which is integrally connected to the operating part, wherein the aforementioned material weakening is of course present at the target breaking point, which can also be present due to chemically or physically induced embrittlement. The operating part and the insert are advantageously made of the same material.

[0025] Advantageously, the actuating element has a larger surface area than the rest of the insert element in a plane spanned by the longitudinal direction of the insert element and the second spatial direction.

[0026] In particular, it is advantageous in the case of a stitch forming tool if, in addition to the longitudinal direction, the second spatial direction in which the plane is stretched is the height direction. The illustrated measure is particularly advantageous when the insertable component is particularly small. In the case of very long knitting needles or similar components, it is advantageous if the surface of the operating component is much shorter than the needle, but for this reason the extension in the second spatial direction is still very large (as mentioned, advantageously in the height direction). In this way, it is even possible to create a surface that is larger than the side surface of the needle.

[0027] It is also advantageous if the material of the handling part and the insert part has the same thickness in a third spatial direction (in particular in the case of a coil-forming tool, advantageously the width direction).

[0028] Advantageously, when the target breaking site is closed, the operating member extends the insertion member in the longitudinal direction of the insertion member. The target breaking site is advantageously located at the end of the insertion member where the insertion member ends in its longitudinal direction.

[0029] Advantageously, the unit consisting of an insert and an operating component shown in this publication has exactly one insert. Advantageously, this insert is typically assigned exactly one operating component. It can also be useful to assign multiple (N) operating components to exactly one insert so that the insert can be reliably brought into its operating position in the textile machine. Typically, N operating components are connected to at least one—preferably exactly one—insert component using M target breaking points. Advantageously, N equals M. Units of this type allow the insert to be individually brought into its operating position. Units consisting of an insert and an operating component are advantageous in which at least one insert and the operating component—preferably all components of the unit—are manufactured integrally. A preferred manufacturing method for such units is to punch the entire unit, or at least a portion thereof, out of sheet metal. The respective unit consisting of an insert and an operating component is provided with a target breaking point at the boundary between these components. This type of target breaking point is then advantageously also integral, that is, formed from the same workpiece as the insert and operating components. No other materials, such as adhesives, are then required. Advantageously, the insert component is manufactured after it has been inserted into the textile machine and has severed one or more desired breaking points, so that it can directly participate in the textile production process on the textile machine. Advantageously, the aforementioned operating element is not a spacer that holds the insert components at a distance from one another that largely corresponds to the distance between the operating components in their operating position in the textile machine. Rather, it has proven advantageous to introduce specific insert components individually into the textile machine. This is particularly advantageous if at least one insert component and at least one operating element associated with the insert component are made of flat material, with the large outer surfaces of the flat material of the insert component and the operating element lying in a single plane.

[0030] If at least one insert component is constructed in the method and manner mentioned above, the supply and assembly of insert components to the textile machine and the operation of the textile machine are also improved by a packaging for at least one insert component of the textile machine, which packaging includes at least one insert component and at least partially surrounds the at least one insert component.

[0031] Additional advantages arise from the following circumstances, namely: • if the insert is at least partially surrounded by the packaging in its transport position; • if the packaging has at least one removal opening for at least one insert component; and • If the removal opening is opened in the direction in which the operating part is connected to the insertion part through the target breaking site.

[0032] This makes it easier to remove the insert component connected to the operating component from the packaging for machine assembly, as the operating component can be directly grasped while the insert component is still in the packaging. If the operating component is protruding from the packaging, or if the insert component is in its transport position in the packaging, it is further facilitated to manipulate the insert component while still connected to the operating component. This measure makes it even easier to grasp the operating component for manipulation. It is then possible to use the operating component to insert the insert component without having to re-grasp, that is, to grasp the operating component or the insert component at a different location.

[0033] If at least one insert component is designed in the manner described above, then the supply and assembly of insert components to the textile machine and the operation of the textile machine are also improved by a method for supplying at least one insert component to the textile machine and for operating the textile machine. The textile machine is operated to manufacture textiles, or in the case of sewing, in particular to connect textile surfaces. In the meaning of this disclosure, "participating in textile processing" means for a textile tool that the working area of ​​the textile tool contacts an element of the textile, such as in particular a yarn. As has also been mentioned many times, system components usually do not have this contact with yarn or textile material, but they participate in textile processing or the further processing of textile material in the form of: these system components transmit force or torque directly or indirectly to the textile tool. Usually system components are used to select the textile tool, and in other cases, force or torque are used to operate the textile tool, so that these textile tools implement the movement required by them in textile production.

[0034] In its previously mentioned delivery state, that is, the state in which the insert is delivered from its manufacturer to its user in a textile machine, the insert has the target breaking point intact and therefore not yet loosened or opened. This delivery state is therefore present at the start of machine assembly, meaning that the target breaking point is intact at the start of assembly. "Handling," within the meaning of this disclosure, means that the insert is inserted into the textile machine, placed there, and / or secured there by manual action by an operator, a processing technician, or a robot. Given the use of the term "handling component" in this disclosure, it can also be said that the German neologism "handling" and the term "handling" are largely used synonymously. In general, the handling component serves to manipulate the insert. The insert is also brought into a position that can already be an operating position and, if necessary, locked or secured there. A person skilled in the art will determine the method of securing the insert based on the installation conditions and the function of the component.

[0035] As mentioned several times, the operating component is shaped differently from the insert component and typically has different dimensions in one, two, or three spatial directions. The operating component is not suitable as an insert component for the same purpose in the same machine. It does not participate in the textile processing performed by the textile machine. It is usually removed from the textile machine. It is usually a disposable component. From a sustainability perspective, it is advantageous if at least the raw material of the operating component can be used for another purpose. This is particularly true if the operating component is a metal part, as is the case with most insert components in textile machines.

[0036] Protecting the insert components during transport between their manufacturing location and their location of use (the textile machine) is advantageous. While packaging should at least protect the insert components, the packaging typically encompasses the entire assembly consisting of the insert components and the operating parts. Packaging that contains a large number of spare parts in its delivered state also offers advantages. A large package might, for example, contain 500 or 1,000 such units (consisting of insert components and operating parts).

[0037] The insert component is advantageously connected to the handling component during production. This connection can be established at the start of component processing. The two components can then be separated or released from the sheet metal together, for example. The target breaking point can be applied beforehand, for example by rakebacking or scoring the sheet metal at the corresponding location. However, the target breaking point can also be created if the unit consisting of the handling component and the insert component is already separate. Surprisingly, it has been shown that using the handling component to operate the aforementioned unit during production offers additional advantages. This applies to some or even all production steps, depending on the situation. Using the handling component to operate the unit is advantageous when supplying the insert component to a new processing station or placing it there. The handling component can also be grasped by a mechanical handling device and the unit consisting of the handling component and the insert component can be transported during processing or between processing stations. However, the presence of the handling component in some or all processing stations does not mean that it participates in all—sometimes very complex—processing steps that the insert component undergoes. The operating part is therefore designed in such a way that it can be manufactured cheaply and, due to its size and properties, is suitable for operating the insert part. For example: the transfer part (Spilli) mentioned several times already has a tip, which is not easy to manufacture. The same applies to the needle and, for example, the hook and tongue of a knitting needle. Therefore, in all embodiments of the invention, it is advantageous that the insert part is not equipped with such features. This also applies to all embodiments of the invention: it is advantageous that the operating part can be manufactured more cheaply and / or requires fewer active steps in its manufacture than the insert part. In this regard, it is emphasized again that even in the case of a unit made of metal, consisting of the insert part and the operating part, the raw material costs only constitute a very small part of the total system costs. Therefore, it is usually possible without any problems to manufacture an operating part that is much larger than the associated insert part at a much lower cost than the insert part.

[0038] Advantageously, • the insert is introduced in its longitudinal direction into a groove- or channel-shaped receptacle of the textile machine, • until the target breaking point reaches the vicinity of the entrance of the groove-shaped or channel-shaped receiving part of the textile machine, The target breaking point is subsequently released by a relative movement of the actuating element relative to the insertion element which is at least partially or largely located in the receptacle.

[0039] Such trough- or channel-shaped receptacles of textile machines are particularly common in knitting machines. In knitting machines, knitting needles and often sinkers also slide in the channels, wherein, during knitting, the working areas of these knitting tools in particular protrude from the needle channels in the direction of the knitting area in which knitting is performed. Inserting the knitting needles into these needle channels can be difficult.

[0040] Therefore, it is advantageous to use textile tools or system components equipped with operating elements in the knitting area. Additional advantages arise if, during the assembly of the aforementioned needle track or sinker channel, the textile tool is introduced into the channel with its tip, i.e., its working area, facing forward. The operator of the textile machine, who is assembling the textile machine, preferably manipulates the unit consisting of the insert and operating elements using the latter element (i.e., the operating element). The machine operator then moves the insert into the needle track in its longitudinal direction until it reaches a point where the desired breaking point is only slightly, or even absent, from the needle track entrance. The machine operator then preferably moves the operating element across the width of the insert and needle track, causing relative movement between the insert and operating elements, as the former element (i.e., the insert) is held by the needle track in the width direction. This relative movement causes the desired breaking point to be separated. The textile tool or insert is thus already introduced into the needle track or sinker channel. Further movement along the longitudinal direction of the needle track may be necessary to reach the final working position. This can often also be achieved by manipulating the textile tool's heel. Such heels are known and are usually present on the relevant weaving tool in order to transmit the forces for the knitting movement to the weaving tool.

[0041] The aforementioned teachings also apply if the receptacle is not a needle track or sinker channel (in which case it is not intended to secure the insert in its longitudinal direction), but rather if the receptacle has, for example, a clamp-like function and secures the insert, particularly by force-locking, in such a way that it is held in all three spatial directions. In this case, the unit consisting of the insert and the operating element can also be introduced into the functional area of ​​the clamp-like receptacle until the insert is in the position in which it is to be secured in the receptacle. In this position, the operating element is not hindered by the receptacle or other elements of the machine in its relative movement relative to the insert to release the desired breaking point. Therefore, the machine operator can move the operating element accordingly, thereby generating the relative movement and releasing the desired breaking point.

[0042] The aforementioned examples demonstrate that the target breaking point can be separated as long as the components of the textile machine, including the receiving portion, allow relative movement of the operating element. It is possible to separate the target breaking point once the insert element has reached its final operating position. However, it is also possible that, after opening the target breaking point, further movement of the insert element relative to the receiving portion or relative to the textile machine is required to reach the operating position or positions. Therefore, in this context, it is also advantageous if the position of the insert element, the operating element, and in particular the target breaking point, is coordinated with the textile machine or at least one receiving portion thereof (which allows the aforementioned method) in such a way that at least one relative movement of the operating element sufficient to separate the target breaking point is possible.

[0043] In the case of most textile tools used in sock closure devices (such as, for example, the transfer tools or spilli, "transfer devices" or "transfer members" and "strip members" already mentioned above), it should be preferred to use a receiving part which primarily fixes the relevant textile tool in a force-locking manner, so that the method mentioned later (also fixing the tool in the longitudinal direction and then separating the target breaking point) should be preferred with respect to these components.

[0044] As already mentioned above, insert elements, particularly for needle dials and knitting cylinders, can be provided with an operating element whose longitudinal axis points in the direction of the insert element's height, or in which the target breaking point can be positioned on the upper side of the insert element. In particular, in such a unit consisting of an insert element and an operating element, it is advantageous to assemble the unit as follows: i) The unit consisting of the insert element and the operating element is fed into the grooved channel of the relevant needle bed (which can, of course, also guide sinkers or system components). ii) The insert element is inserted into the needle track until the target breaking point is located in the region of the upper boundary of the needle track or until the insert element rests on the bottom of the needle track. iii) A pivoting movement of the operating element is initiated to release the target breaking point.

[0045] If at least one insert component is designed in the manner described above, a system for further processing textile material comprising a textile machine and at least one insert component for operating the textile machine also improves and facilitates the supply and assembly of insert components to the textile machine and the operation of the textile machine. Furthermore, in conjunction with this system, the operating component is shaped differently from the insert component and is not an insert component for the textile machine.

[0046] Instead, the insert component is designed to participate in the textile processing performed by the textile machine. After its insertion, the insert component preferably participates in the textile production. For the purposes of this disclosure, "participating in textile production" means that the relevant insert component cooperates in the corresponding process for which it is designed during the further processing of the corresponding textile material.

[0047] In a preferred design, the system is characterized in that: • the textile machine has a receptacle in which the insert element can be fixed in a first working position, • If the insert is in the first operating position, the operating element can be reached manually, • the receiving portion allows at least one relative movement of the operating member relative to the insert member fixed in the receiving portion if the insert member is in the first operating position, • And at least one relative motion is suitable for separating the target fracture site.

[0048] As long as the textile machine (and here in particular at least one receiving part and adjacent parts of the textile machine), the insertion part and the operating part are coordinated with one another in such a way that the above-mentioned prerequisites are met, the method last mentioned above with respect to the method according to the invention (also fixing the tool in the longitudinal direction and then separating the target breaking point) can be carried out with the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] Figure 1A first textile tool 1 is shown, which is a transfer element for a sock closure. This element, also called a "Spillo," has a tip 2 and a shaft 3 extending primarily in the longitudinal direction z, as well as a fastening region 4 extending predominantly transversely to the shaft, which extends primarily in the height direction x and is designed to be received in the tool holder of the sock closure. The fastening region has a notch 5. Many different embodiments of such a transfer element 1 are known. Most of these have in common their delicate shape. These elements, as well as other insertable elements for a sock closure, are generally relatively difficult to insert into their retaining devices. It should also be noted that the textile tool 1, which is designed as a transfer element, extends in the z direction between its front end 24 and its rear end 25 and has a longitudinal extension 26 between these points.

[0051] Figure 2 A slightly differently designed transfer element 1 of a sock closure is shown, which is connected to an operating element 7 via an intact target breaking point 9. The operating element 7 also extends primarily in the longitudinal direction z of the textile tool 1. The operating element 7 has a transverse strut 8 at the rear end of its longitudinal extension, which extends primarily in the height direction x of the transfer element 1. Figure 2 The coil 6 is also shown for symbolic reasons. The term "coil" should only be used to explain that the tip 2 and a portion of the rod 3 of the transfer element 1 come into contact with the coil 6 during operation of the textile machine (into which the transfer element 1 is inserted, which is of course an insert element within the meaning of this disclosure). The transfer element 1 is therefore a "textile tool" within the meaning of this disclosure and also falls under the general term "insert element." The area in which the transfer element 1 (which is a textile tool within the meaning of this disclosure) comes into contact with the yarn or coil 6 is also referred to as the working section 22. The entire unit 20, consisting of the insert element 1 and the operating element 7, has a longitudinal extension 27 that is greater than the longitudinal extension 26 of the insert element 1 by an extension factor.

[0052] Figure 3 A further textile tool 1 is shown, which cooperates with the transfer element 1 in a sock closure device, as in Figure 4 As shown in . Figure 4 The transfer part 1 is shown, which has a rod 3 and a tip 2. Figure 5 In the figure a type of textile tool 1 is shown again, as already described in Figure 3 However, Figure 5 The textile tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the operating element 7 via an intact target breaking point 9 . Figure 5The operating part 7 shown in the figure is mainly composed of its transverse struts 8. The target breaking point 9 is realized by a circular punching 19 in the rod area surrounding it. This way of producing the target breaking point is also efficient and therefore advantageous. Figure 6 The textile tool 1 of the type of transfer element is shown again in FIG. Figure 4 This textile tool 1 is also connected to the operating element 7 . The associated target breaking point 9 is likewise produced by means of a circular punching 19 .

[0053] Figure 19 The textile tool 1 depicted in FIG. 1 is also similar to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The textile tool 1 shown in FIG. Figure 19 The textile tool in FIG. 1 is also connected to the operating element 7 via a desired breaking point 9, which is produced by means of a circular punched hole 19. However, the desired breaking point is located at the upper edge of the textile tool 1. The operating element 7 has a longitudinal extension that extends at least predominantly in the height direction x of the textile tool. Therefore, this longitudinal extension extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the textile tool.

[0054] exist Figure 7 The tool frame 10 of the sock closure device is shown in FIG. The tool frame 10 is partially equipped with a transfer member 1, which is similar to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transfer ring component 1 shown in FIG. One of these transfer ring components 1 is also provided with a transfer ring component. Figure 7 The target breaking site 9 not shown is connected to the operating part 7. Figure 7 As can be seen in the figure, the tool holder 10 of the sock closure device does not hinder the operation of the operating element 7 relative to the insert element 1, which has been inserted into the tool holder 10 and fixed there, in the width direction y and longitudinal direction z of the insert element 1 so that the target breaking point 9 is opened. Arrow 37 indicates the pivoting movement of the operating element 7 for releasing the target breaking point 9. Figure 16 Shown in detail from Figure 7 Tool holder with sock closure.

[0055] Figure 8 Once again, it is shown that Figure 2 The unit 20 shown consists of a transfer part 1 and an operating part 7. However, the transfer part 1 is surrounded by a packaging 11. The packaging 11 has an opening 12, which opens the packaging 11 in the direction of the operating part 7. Figure 9 , the unit 20 is shown again, wherein the packaging 11 now completely surrounds the transfer part 1 and partially surrounds the operating part 7. The opening 12 of the packaging 11 again opens the packaging in the direction of the longitudinal extension z of the transfer part 1, along which the operating part 7 is coupled to the transfer part 1.

[0056] Figure 10 The same design of the unit consisting of the transfer part 1 and the handling part 7 is shown with a package 11, which is the same as that already described in Figure 9 The packaging shown in FIG is very similar. Additionally, the retaining lip 13 of the packaging 11 is shown. This retaining lip latches onto the transverse struts 8 of the transfer element 1 and prevents the latter from unintentionally falling out of the packaging 11 through the opening 12. The packaging depicted in the preceding figures is rather symbolic, as packaging is often used for packaging a large number of textile tools. However, such packaging can, in principle, be used in the same manner as in FIG. Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The individual packaging 11 shown in FIG. 1 receives the unit 20 consisting of the insert part 1 and the operating part 7 in an equivalent manner.

[0057] Figure 11 The insert component 1 shown in FIG is a knitting needle. It has a shaft 3, a tip 2, a hook 14, a tongue 15, a clamp 23, a coil support 29, and a heel 21. The area of ​​the needle 1 between its tip 2 or its hook 14 and the coil support 29 is capable of coming into contact with the yarn or coil 6 during knitting and is therefore referred to as the working section 22. Therefore, in this example, the distance 28 between the rear end 25 of the needle 1 and the coil support 29 coincides with the distance 28 between the working section 22 and the rear end 25 of the needle 1. The needle 1 is connected to the operating component 7 via the target breaking point 9. The operating component 7 has a transverse strut 8 at its end in the longitudinal direction z of the insert component 1. It should also be noted that the textile tool 1, configured as a knitting needle, extends in the z-direction between its front end 24 and its rear end 25 and has a longitudinal extension 26 between these points. The entire unit 20 consisting of the insert part 1 and the operating part 7 has a longitudinal extension 27 which is greater than the longitudinal extension 26 of the insert part 1 by an elongation factor.

[0058] exist Figure 12 Again, the Figure 11 The same unit 20 consisting of the needle 1 and the insert 7 is shown. However, Figure 12 The situation that occurs when the unit 20 or the associated knitting needle 1 is inserted into the needle bed 16 is shown.

[0059] exist Figure 12 In the embodiment, the needle bed 16 has, for reasons of representation, only one slotted channel 17 into which the needles must be inserted in order to participate in the knitting operation. The needle beds of flat knitting machines and the knitting cylinders of circular knitting machines, i.e., the typical receptacles or receiving devices of these textile tools and system components in these textile machines, have a large number of such slotted channels 17 in which the knitting needles 1 move along their longitudinal direction z or the longitudinal direction of the slotted channels. Figure 12 , shows a situation in which the knitting needle 1 has already been largely introduced into the slotted channel 17 by a movement in its negative longitudinal direction z, that is, until just before the target breaking point 9. In this case, the actuating element 7, again equipped with a transverse strut 8, projects beyond the opening 18 of the needle bed 16. Advantageously, neither the needle bed nor other parts of the machine hinder the operator from moving the actuating element 7, for example, in the width direction y of the knitting needle 1. This movement causes the actuating element 7 to rotate about the axis of the target breaking point 9, since the knitting needle 1 is held in the channel 17 relative to this movement. This movement allows the target breaking point 9 to be released.

[0060] Figure 12 An example is thus shown for the case where the target breaking point 9 is open and an insert (textile tool or system component) is located in the channel 17, in which the insert is preferably not fixed in the longitudinal direction z. Figure 7 In the embodiment, when the target breaking point 9 is separated, the associated textile tool 1 is already fixed in its receiving portion.

[0061] Figure 17 Involving and from Figure 11 and Figure 12 The needle 1 is similar to the needle 1 of FIG, but in this needle the operating part 7 is arranged at another position, namely the upper boundary of the needle 1. The needle is a textile tool in the sense of the present disclosure, and the textile tool itself belongs to the general concept "insertion part". Figure 17 A needle, and therefore a textile tool, and therefore also an insertion part 1 is shown, which has its longitudinal extension in the z direction, while the longitudinal extension of the operating part runs in the positive x direction, i.e. in the height direction of the textile tool. The arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the two parts of the unit 20 consisting of the insertion part 1 (here the textile tool) and its operating part 7 is particularly advantageous in the case of needles, sinkers or system components that are inserted into needle disks and knitting cylinders (for example of circular knitting machines): the machine operator who assembles these components can insert the relevant insertion part 1 "from above" into the needle track 17, thereby producing a needle track 17 as shown in FIG. Figure 18 The situation shown in: Figure 18 A knitting needle 1 is shown which is inserted into a slotted channel 17 of a needle bed 16 (the needle bed can be in the form of a needle disc or a knitting cylinder). In this case, the upwardly directed operating element 7 can be separated from the needle 1 by a pivoting movement in the x and y directions ("opening or separating the target breaking point 9"). However, since the target breaking point 9 is located below the upper boundary of the needle track 17, Figure 18 In the case of Figure 7The aforementioned pivoting movement, indicated by the double arrow 31 in FIG. 1 , for releasing the target breaking point 9 may be hindered. It is therefore advantageous if the target breaking point 9 is above or at least approximately at the same height as the upper boundary of the needle track 17 during the pivoting movement. The machine operator can also Figure 18 In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is achieved in that the machine operator interrupts the insertion operation and separates the target breaking point 9 shortly before or at the moment when the target breaking point 9 reaches the height of the slot-shaped channel 17 .

[0062] As already mentioned above, it is also advantageous for all embodiments of the present invention with an upwardly directed operating element 7 to adjust the position of the target breaking point 9 in the unit formed by the operating element 7 and the insert element 1 and the upper limit of the slotted channel 17 so that, in its inserted position in the slotted channel 17, the target breaking point 9 is at the same height as the upper limit of the slotted channel 17 or projects beyond it. In the latter case, it is necessary to prevent the portion of the target breaking point 9 remaining on the insert element 1 from colliding with components of the textile machine, including its cams, during operation. This can be achieved by appropriately matching the dimensions of the textile machine components to the unit 20 formed by the insert element 1 and the operating element 7. This can also be achieved by having the target breaking point 9 be located at a height x that is lower than the upper end of one or more heels 21 of the insert element 1. Alternatively or additionally, the target breaking point 9 can be arranged at the heel 21.

[0063] Figure 13 A relatively straightforward example of the function of the system component 1 disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,466,762 B and already mentioned at the outset is shown. Figure 13 The system component 1 (here is the upper concept) is the selection component (here is the lower concept). In the aforementioned public document, the selection component is called "jack", and Figure 1 The reference symbol "SCH" is provided in the disclosure. Figure 13 In the embodiment, the selection component plays the role of the associated insertion component and is provided with the reference numeral 1. The selection component 1 extends, similar to the textile tool shown above, primarily in the longitudinal direction z between its front end 24 and its rear end 25. The longitudinal extension of the system component is Figure 13 This is also denoted by reference numeral 26. This system component has a butt 21, to which forces can be transferred, for example, from a cam element during knitting operation. The butt 21 of the system component 1 thus simultaneously functions as a working section 34 for absorbing forces of the system component. The depicted selector element 1—as is typical for selector elements of knitting machines—transfers the absorbed forces largely along the needle path and, therefore, along its longitudinal direction z.

[0064] exist Figure 13 In addition to the selector element 1, another system component 31 and another needle 30 are shown in the following sequence, which is the order they occupy within the needle path during knitting. Thus, the selector element 1 transfers the force absorbed by its heel 21 or its working section for force absorption 34, initially via its working section for force transmission 33 (this working section is synonymous with the selector element's front end 24), to the other system component 31, which in turn transmits this force to the needle 30. In this case, an indirect—i.e., indirect—force transmission occurs from the selector element 1 to the needle 30, which is a textile tool within the meaning of this disclosure. Thus, the system component according to this disclosure transmits force or torque to the textile tool indirectly or directly. This indirect—i.e., indirect—force transmission from the first system component to the textile tool can occur via one or more other system components 31 without the first system component 1 losing its status as a "system component" within the meaning of this disclosure. Similar to the use of the terms system component, weaving tool, and insert component, the further system component 31 and the further needle 30 can also be referred to as a further insert component 36 (generic term). The further needle 30 also belongs to the generic term “further weaving tool 30”.

[0065] Figure 14 The selection element 1 is shown in its delivery state, in which it is connected via the intact, not yet released, target breaking point 9 to the actuating element 7 , which itself consists of a transverse strut 8 and a parallel part 32 of the actuating element 7 .

[0066] Figure 15 Shown from Figure 13 Additional system components 31. Figure 15 It is explained that the system component 31 with its rear end 25 also has an operating section 34 for absorbing forces or torques. The system component 31 also participates in the selection of needles 30 of the circular knitting machine according to US Pat. No. 4,466,762 B in that the system component transmits the absorbed forces along the needle path with its front end 24 (which is also the operating section for force transmission) to the needles 30 of the circular knitting machine according to US Pat. No. 4,466,762 B. Figure 13 It should be added that the oblique section 35 of the further system component 31 can also belong to the working section for the force transmission 33. For this reason, in Figure 15 The working section for force transmission 33 is indicated in FIG by a curved bracket bridging sections 24 and 35 .
