A flat knitting machine has at least two oppositely located needle beds provided with stitch formers and/or comb gap plates, one of the needle beds having a wire which forms a knocking off base for stitches, so that for changing a comb gap width of the stitch formers and/or of the comb gap plates they are arranged jointly adjustable on the at least one needle bed.

Flat knitting machine

A flat knitting machine has at least one needle bed, a carriage which slides along the needle bed which has at least one cam with needle section means and stitch cams, a sinking element which cooperates with the stitch cams and is arranged movably on the stitch cams, the sinking element being controllable independently from the stitch cams and together with the stitch cams forms sinking surfaces of different size and/or form depending on its position.

A flat knitting machine has a needle bed support, a machine base, the needle bed support and the machine base being formed as a single assembly.

For producing a knitted product on a flat knitting machine with simultaneous supply of two threads of different elasticities to needles of the machine, for each stitch to be formed the length of the thread of the higher elasticity to be supplied to a needle is calculated from the supplied length of a thread of the lower elasticity and the data about the material property of the thread of the higher elasticity, and a feeding device is controlled for the thread of the higher elasticity in correspondence with the calculated thread length to be supplied.

Method for producing a knitted article on a flat knitting machine

A knitted article is produced on a flat knitting machine with a carriage and at least one cam system, wherein the carriage speed is controlled within a knitting row in dependence on pattern types produced by individual needles or needle groups, as well as on the properties of knitting thread or threads continuously so that the carriage at each location of the knitting row is moved with a maximum possible speed at which it is guaranteed that no knitting thread is torn.

A knitting machine has a needle bed, a plurality of needles, plates arranged between the needles, each of the plates having a front operational part provided with edges engaging in a loop forming region and displaceable about an axis extending along the needle bed between a front position and a rear position, and a shaft part arranged substantially parallel to the needles and longitudinally displaceable for driving the plates, the operational part and the shaft part being connected by an elastic springy web to form a one-piece element.

Knitting machine, in particular flat knitting machine

A fabric take-off roller arrangement for flat bed knitting machines is provided with two driven and parallel arranged fabric take-off rollers, between which a fabric web is tangentially guided, wherein at least one of the fabric take-off rollers is made up of roller elements, which are arranged next to each other in the axial direction and are coupled, fixed against relative rotation. The rollers are rotatably maintained on one bearing support, which is pivotable in a direction vertically to the orientation of the roller elements, and which are hingedly seated in relation to each other as well as to the bearing support and are pressed against the other fabric take-off roller in an individually adjustable manner. In order to create an improved hinged torque transmission connection, which can be produced more cost-effectively and is simpler to mount, between adjoining roller elements of the respective fabric take-off roller of such a fabric take-off arrangement, it is provided that on their facing ends, which are provided with a gear ring, the roller elements are coupled, fixed against relative rotation, with a gear wheel arrangement rotatably maintained in the bearing support, wherein the seating of axially adjoining roller elements, which are axially hinged in relation to each other, so in that the teeth of the gear wheel arrangement and/or of the gear ring of the roller elements are arcuate transversely with respect to the circumference and crowned in longitudinal section.

Fabric take-off roller for flat bed knitting machines

The flatbed knitting machine includes opposing needle beds (V,H) with longitudinally movable needles (11,12); a carriage provided with cams (14,15,16) and sinkers (17,18; 17',18'; 17',18') having a closed position (S1), an end position (S2) and an open position (S0) and movable between the needles (11,12) with the help of the cams (14,15,16) in the carriage. The sinkers (17,18; 17',18'; 17',18') each have a hook-shaped projection (25, 26; 25', 26') that occludes or encloses from above a side of a loop on an adjacent needle in the needle beds when the sinkers are in the closed position.

A thread control device for a flat knitting machine having a housing and at least one thread brake arranged on the housing, has a spring acting on the thread brake, a flat spring web supported at one side, and a slider movable in a recess of the housing and having a foot which slides on the spring web so that a free end of the flat spring changes a force of the spring which acts on the thread brake in correspondence with a position of the slider.

Thread control device for flat knitting machine

In an adjusting device for opposite adjustment of drawing off cam parts of a cam system of a flat knitting machine carriage, with a common stepper motor moving with the machine carriage and providing a rotary movement which is converted into a longitudinal movement of a carriage running direction and transferred to cam parts to be adjusted, with at least one control curve transferring the rotary movement of the stepper motor the cam parts to be adjusted, and with two first control sliders adjustable in the carriage running direction and provided with a toothed strip, a driven pinion of the stepper motor acts simultaneously and oppositely directly on the first control sliders, and at least two second control are each connected with a cam part to be adjusted, with which the first control sliders are drivingly coupled through the control curve in a drawing manner.

Adjusting device for cam parts of flat knitting machines with motor

In a two-bed flat knitting machine separate sinker control devices are provided for controlling sinkers arranged between needles and have a device body laterally releasably mountable on a machine carriage. They extend only over an operating region of a cam system and their control parts are formed so that they are displaced during a carriage stroke return automatically to an operative position or a rest position.

Sinker control actuator for flat knitting machine

A fabric take-off roller arrangement for flat bed knitting machines is provided with a driven fabric take-off roller that has roller elements disposed next to each other in the axial direction. To ensure that, even with irregular thickenings of the fabric to be taken off, engagement of the fabric take-off roller arrangement is provided both in the region of the thickening and in the adjacent region(s) of the fabric to be taken off, it is provided that the roller elements engage one another in a co-rotational manner at their ends facing one another and are rotatably held on respectively one support carrier, that the support carriers are pivotably held in a direction perpendicular to the orientation of the roller elements that the ends of the roller elements facing each other are flexibly seated against each other as well as in the support carrier, and that the fabric take-off roller is pressed against a counter-roller, between which rollers the fabric run is taken off.

Fabric take-off roller arrangement for flat bed knitting machines

A method of knitting a multi-dimensional fabric for use in upholstery is accomplished by simultaneously knitting rib and jersey wales. The resultant fabric creates a layered or convex pocket appearance similar to that of pleated fabric formed by sewing. The method uses movement of the rib forming carriage to form pockets that are connected by the jersey stitches on the rear face and rib stitches on the face of the fabric.

Method of producing voluminous knitted articles

The draw-off mechanism for a flat bar knitting machine having needle beds includes a pair of driven feed rollers arranged axially parallel to each other and located adjacent to the needle beds under a gap between the needle beds; a pair of pivoting levers, each pivoting lever being two-armed and having a feed roller mounted at one end thereof and an adjustable stop device for setting a minimum spacing between the feed rollers located at another end of each pivoting lever remote from the feed rollers; and a device for adjusting an initial tension on at least one of the pivoting levers to urge the pivoting levers closer together, so that the driven feed rollers can cooperate with each other and act on a workpiece running between them.
