Abstract
A knit tape manufacturing device comprising a framework, a driver supported on the framework, a feeding and guiding mechanism composed of a plurality of feeding means which, arranged peripherally, are rotatorily driven on the framework about a longitudinal axis by the driver through a power transmission mechanism and fed under guidance along a longitudinal direction a circular knitted fabric stretched externally therearound, an operating mechanism which operates the feeding means by the driver, and a cutting means for cutting spirally the rotating circular knitted fabric into a tape of width corresponding to the specific feed length which is located adjacent to the forward end of the feeding and guiding mechanism.
Claims6
A knit tape manufacturing device comprising:
- a framework;
- a driver supported on said framework;
- a feeding and guiding mechanism composed of a plurality of feeding means which, arranged peripherally, are rotatively driven on said framework about a longitudinal axis by said driver through a power transmission mechanism and feeds under guidance along a longitudinal direction a circular knitted fabric stretched externally therearound;
- an operating mechanism which operates said feeding means by said driver, said operating mechanism of said feeding means comprising a double shaft construction which changes the feeding speed by generating a relative difference between the rotary speeds of a hollow outer shaft and an inner shaft thereof, a geared power transmission means and relative difference adjustment means, said outer shaft being connected to said feeding and guiding mechanism and said inner shaft being connected to said operating mechanism;
- and
- a cutting means for cutting spirally the rotating circular knitted fabric into a tape of width corresponding to the specific feed length, said cutting means is located adjacent to the forward end of said feeding and guiding mechanism.
A knit tape manufacturing device as recited in claim 1 or 5 wherein said cutting means further comprises a position adjusting mechanism which follows variation in diametrical direction of said feeding and guiding means and adjusts said cutting point to the same level to the external side of said feeding and guiding means.
