Abstract: A device on a warp knitting machine for crocheting an elastic band with a coating and an elastic band made with this device. The band may also have picots at its edges, that is small loops. The device is intended to facilitate the production of very fine bands with a distribution of more than eight and especially twelve needles per centimeter of machine width and even more if possible. The coating should be patternable. The coating may be produced on only one or on both sides of the strip. The device has crochet hooks (4), a cuttler (80) to feed skeins of rubber-elastic threads (14) and a cuttler (20) to feed skeins of warp threads (22).

Abstract: A device for clamping and guiding crocheting needles for a crocheting machine. On the one hand a clamping device for the crocheting needles and on the other hand a knock-over comb are to be created, which permit a very fine spacing. To this end, in the bottom part (27) and in the clamping cover (29) of a clamping device (12), opposite, straight needle beds (73, 74) are arranged closely together. The needle beds (73, 74) have wall surfaces that are inclined in a V-shape. A knock-over comb (20, 80) fixed to the machine has upwardly projecting teeth (86) for the crocheting needles. The spacing of the needle beds and guide elements is at least 12, in particular 14 per centimeter of machine width. The holding bar (23) fixed to the machine and the bottom part (27) of the clamping device (12) have recesses, in particular chambers (77, 76) that face one another, which permit the clamping device to move too close to the teeth (86).
