Threats Introduced by Rserpool and Requirements for Security in response to Threats

Plush fabrics are produced on a conventional double jersey knitting machine by feeding a plush yarn to conventional cylinder and dial latch needles and feeding a ground yarn to the dial needles only, whereby long loops are formed in the plush yarn and short loops in the ground yarn; and thereafter causing the cylinder needles to execute a knitting movement without feeding yarn thereto, whereby the long loops are released from the cylinder needles to form the plush pile and cylinder needles are freed for a repetition of the knitting cycle. Some of the conventional feeders on the basic machine are replaced by auxiliary feeders designed to feed yarn to the dial needles only, others may be simply omitted in order to provide for the release of formed loops from the cylinder needles, while others are replaced by ancillary devices to clear released loops from the knitting zone and to open the latches of the cylinder needles for a fresh knitting cycle. The loop pile fabrics produced by this invention can be converted to cut pile fabrics by cropping and sculptured effects can be produced by the application of conventional patterning techniques on the knitting machine.
