Abstract
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.
