The invention relates to a card wheel for a knitting machine for manufacturing knit goods with combed-in fibers. The card wheel consists of a wheel body with a cylindrical circumferential surface and a card clothing situated and fixed on the latter, which contains a cloth band of appropriate width lying on the circumferential surface and hooks incorporated into the band. In accordance with the invention the cloth band has at least one lateral end a holding section free of hooks which runs along the entire circumferential surface. To fix the card clothing in place, a clamping means acting on the holding section is provided in accordance with the invention, which clamps the holding section with a pressure per unit area on the circumferential surface which prevents the cloth band from slipping.

The invention relates to a thread carrier for a knitting machine, having at least one controllable thread gripper and an inserter (19) whose end at which the thread (16) emerges is in the form of an open channel (76). To simplify the insertion or removal of threads, the thread gripper (109) and the inserter (19) are disposed so as to be movable relative to one another such that the thread can either be inserted into the channel or removed therefrom by the thread gripper (109) itself.

Thread carrier

Knitting machine having two needle beds in which loop-forming knitting needles are mounted for extension and retraction, having disk cams disposed on a revolving drive shaft with an angular offset for the purpose of lifting the knitting needles, and having a patterning apparatus for engaging and disengaging the knitting needles and the cams according to the pattern, such that only engaged knitting needles can be raised by the disk cams, a transfer device being provided, which is intended for the transfer of loops formed on knitting needles of at least one needle bed to associated knitting needles of the other needle bed. This transfer device can control the coupling produced by means of the patterning apparatus between the disk cams and the knitting needles such that the knitting needles can be extended selectively by the disk cams into a knit position or into a transfer position (FIG. 1).

Knitting machine

Knitting machine with at least one needle bed in which knitting tools exhibiting feet are mounted for camming up and camming down, with at least one cam transportable past the feet and influencing the latter, which exhibits at least one cam-down part mounted movably but lockably and unlockably and adjustable as to its cam-down depth, and with a switching apparatus arranged outside the needle bed which exhibits means for unlocking, means for adjusting and means for locking the cam-down part, while the means for adjusting the cam-down depth exhibit an adjustable guide rail intended to slide the cam-down part and a switching device to adjust the guide rail according to pattern before the cam-down part rides up (FIGS. 1 and 6).

Knitting machine for performing knits having a beginning and an end, which has at least one needle bed in which knitting needles are mounted for extension and retraction, which has a plurality of thread carriers running successively along an endless path and having at least one thread inserter and one thread gripper, the thread carriers being transportable through a working section and through a return section for the return transport of the threads from the end of the knit to the beginning of the knit for the insertion of threads into select needles, and having furthermore at least one thread clipper for severing the threads after they have been worked by the last active needle each time and after they have been gripped in the corresponding thread gripper, and having a control apparatus suitable for varying the knit width for the opening or closing of the thread grippers for the purpose of the release or of the gripping of the thread ends produced by the clipping device and carried by the thread carriers in their return travel, the associated inserters and thread grippers being spaced from one another in a direction different from the transport direction of the thread carriers at least immediately prior to the insertion of the corresponding threads into the first selected needles, such that the thread portions disposed between them are each caught by the first extended needles in the direction of transport and are brought into the position required for the next-following selected needles (FIG. 2).

A thread guide system for feeding a plurality of threads to a plurality of thread carriers moving in tandem in an endless circuit.
