A circular knitting machine for producing knitted fabrics with combed-in fibers, comprising a needle cylinder, at least one carding device with a comb-in wheel and an extraction device for waste fibers, which produces knitted facbrics of a high quality and requires as little maintenance as possible. The extraction device has at least one extraction nozzle for generating a directional extraction flow.

Circular knitting machine

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.

Card wheel for a knitting machine for making knit goods with combed-in

The invention relates to a circular knitting machine for the production of knit goods with combed-in fibers, having a rotatable, needle-bearing needle cylinder and a card which has a means for feeding the fibers, a comb-in zone through which the needles pass for the purpose of contactlessly receiving the fibers, and a teasing cylinder rotating at high speed which takes the fibers from the feed means and yields them to the comb-in zone. To prevent thin areas or thick areas from being produced in the finished goods on account of the contactless fiber loading, the circular knitting machine has a protective device (60) which becomes active in the still state of the needle cylinder for the purpose of retaining the already combed-in fiber tufts (57) in the needles (3) which are in the comb-in zone in the still state of the needle cylinder.

Circular knitting machine for producing knit goods with combed-in fibers

The invention concerns a process and a circular knitting machine for the production of knit goods with combed-in fibers, in which an amount of fibers synchronous with the needle cylinder rotatory speed is fed to a teasing cylinder rotating at high speed, transferred by the latter to the comb-in zone, and taken from the needles in the comb-in zone without contacting the teasing cylinder. To prevent the development of areas overfilled with fibers or short of fibers in the finished knit goods on account of the contact-less fiber feed, during or before abrupt reductions or increases in the rotatory speed of the needle cylinder, at least temporarily smaller or larger amounts of fibers are fed to the comb-in zone than corresponds to the synchronous amount of fibers.

Method and circular knitting machine for producing knit goods with

A circular knitting machine for the production of high-pile fabrics having combed-in fibres is disclosed herein. The knitting machine has a needle cylinder carrying knitting tools, at least one carding means for combing fibres into the knitting tools, an exhaust hood disposed above the needle cylinder and intended for the removal of loose fibres and at least one component disposed within and/or outside of the exhaust hood and fastenable thereto by means of at least one strut, to substantially eliminate the danger of any accumulation of loose fibres on the strut. The strut has an airfoil configuration.

Circular knitting machine for the production of goods with enmeshed

A circular knitting machine for the production of knit goods with combed-in fibers, has a rotating needle cylinder in which needles having hooks for receiving fibers are mounted, at least one carding device having a feed apparatus for feeding a fiber strand, a separating apparatus for separating the fiber strand into a stream of individual fibers, and a combing-in zone through which the needles pass, and wherein the fibers are carried within the fiber stream for the purpose of contactlessly combing-in the fibers into the hooks of the needles. Guides are provided ahead of the combing-in zone for the purpose of dividing the fiber stream into partial fiber streams, thus considerably reducing or varying the percentage of fibers which are bound across several neighboring loops by several neighboring needles.

Circular knitting machine for producing knit goods having enmeshed fibers

Circular knitting machine for the manufacture of knit wares of hosiery with combed-in fibers, having at least one needle bed possessing knitting needles and having at least one carding machine which possesses a feed apparatus for a band of fibers, a combing-in zone, through which the knitting needles pass, for the contact less insertions of fibers into the knitting needles, and a separating apparatus for separating the band of fibers into individual fibers. The separating device comprises a separating drum that can be driven at high peripheral speed and is provided with a fitting (card wires) for which a drive mechanism is provided that is independent of the knitting machine drive mechanism. Opposite the peripheral surface of the separating drum is a cover which possesses an entrance opening for the band of fibers brought by the feed device and an exit opening for the separated fibers that opens into the combing-in zone, and which encloses the fitting, (card wires) in a separating and accelerating section disposed in the direction of rotation between the entrance opening and the exit opening, so closely that a detachment of the fibers in this separating and accelerating section is prevented.

Circular knitting or circular hosiery knitting machine for manufacture

Circular knitting machine for the production of high pile fabrics having combed-in fabrics, having a needle cylinder with displaceably mounted knitting needles defining a circular knitting field along the upper edge of the cylinder, carding devices disposed along the knitting field, and an exhaust disposed above the knitting field. A lamp is fastened to the exhaust to illuminate the knitting field from within, and a mirror is fastened to the exhaust for the section-wise viewing of the inside of portions of the knitting field disposed on the side of an observer.

The invention relates to a knitting machine having a combing-in cylinder for producing knitted goods with combed-in fibres. The problem of the invention is rapidly and effectively to eliminate the gaps which occur in the carding clothing of the combing-in cylinder in the knitting operation and which have only a very small number of fibres. This problem is solved by means of a regularization cylinder which co-operates with the combing-in cylinder and which treats the fibres on the combing-in cylinder in the manner of a comb, displaces such fibres in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the combing-in cylinder and thereby regularizes such fibres, without however picking up fibres itself.
