he did not anticipate a combination which included the continuously revolving ring. Arnold used the continuously revolving pin ring and the retrograde stitch covered by his patent No. 378,645, in which a lateral movement was given to the needle, but without any attempt or apparent conception of the possibility of registry of the needle with the loops. In neither Bridges nor Arnold, therefore, do we find a precise anticipation of the complainant's invention of a strictly looping machine in which there is a continuously and uniformly revolving pin ring and a reciprocating thread needle which is carried laterally during its forward and rearward movements in the loops of fabric in such manner as to register with each pin and complete the stitch during the forward movement of eacharm carrying a reciprocating curved thread needle passing above each of said impaling pins; of a driving shaft provided with a laterally movable connecting member adapted to reciprocate said thread needle, and a cam body operatively connected to said laterally movable oscillating arm whereby said thread needle is carried laterally during its reciprocatory movements in the loops to correspond with the movements of the latter as carried by said impaling pins."
The application also contained claims 11 and 12, which were rejected and canceled as not disclosing invention over Bridges in view of Arnold. Claim 11 reads: "11. In a machine for uniting knit fabrics, a ring of impaling pins, means for continuously and uniformly revolving said ring of impaling pins, a reciprocating thread needle, and means for carrying
