Purl Knitting Structures

The document discusses purl knitting structures. It describes that a purl stitch forms a horizontal semicircle loop, unlike the vertical flat loop of a knit stitch. Purl fabrics are produced by interlooping stitches in adjacent courses in opposite directions. When stretched, the face stitches are visible, and when released the fabric relaxes to hide the face stitches. The interlooping of opposite courses results in the courses closing up, giving the structure high longitudinal extensibility. The document also discusses purl needle transfer actions and the use of dividing cams and spring loaded cams to facilitate needle transfers between beds during knitting.

PURL KNITTING STRUCTURES

Purl stitch
 A purl stitch is the reverse side of a knit stitch.
 Its loop structure is a horizontal semicircle,
whereas the knit loop is vertical and flat.
 In forming a purl stitch, the movements are the
reverse of those used for knitting.
 Purl fabrics are produced by meshing the stitches in
adjacent courses in opposite directions either by using
special latch needles with two needle hooks or by
transferring the fabric from bed to bed between each
knitting action.
 When the fabric is stretched lengthwise, then the face
stitches are visible. The fabric shrinks more in the direction
of Wales, and once it is released, it relaxes to hide the face
stitches between the courses.
 The interlooping of the stitches of adjacent courses in
opposite directions results in the courses of a purl knitted
structure closing up. The structure, therefore, has a large
longitudinal extensibility.
Purl needle transfer action
 Engagement of the head of the receiving slider with the needle hook
that was
 originally knitting from the opposing bed.
 2 Cam action causing the head of the delivering slider to pivot
outwards from the
 trick and thus disengage itself from the other hook of the needle.
 3 Sufficient free space to allow the heads of the sliders to pivot
outwards from
 their tricks during engagement and disengagement of the needles.
 4 A positive action which maintains the engagement of the head of a
slider with
 a needle hook throughout its knitting cycle by ensuring that it is
pressed down
 into the trick.
The use of dividing cams

 The dividing cam is an internally-profiled, cut-


through recess in a flat plate, attached
horizontally and externally to the cylinders at a
position half-way between them.
Use of spring loaded cams
 technique is being generally introduced into
double-cylinder half-hose machines,
 although these have revolving cylinders. At the
moment of disengagement, the
 spring-loaded cam presses onto the tail of the
delivering slider (D), causing its head
 to swing away from the cylinder and to
disengage itself from the needle hook. The
 action is made possible by the tapering under-
surface of the slider tail.
 This method is simpler and safer and operates
well at high speeds. The latch guard nose of the
slider is extended and pointed to act as a latch-
opener as the receiving slider meets the
approaching head of the needle, whose latch is
specially shaped to facilitate the action. This
action reduces the danger of press-offs
occurring through latches closing onto empty
hooks.
