Abstract
In a fabric take-down mechanism for a flat knitting machine provided with stitch strippers, the edge of the fabric disposed in front of the stitch strippers is engaged by a plurality of take-down hooks (27) of a hook bar (28) located beneath the comb gap (13) defined by the ends of the needle beds (10 and 11). The engagement of the fabric edge is produced by a free fall of the take-down hooks (27) over a limited initial length of take-down travel (A). The take-down of the fabric by the take-down hooks (27) is effected synchronously with the movement of a succeeding take-down roller (13) in the effective area of which the edge of the fabric is carried by means of the take-down hooks (27).
