Abstract: A warp knitting machine can deliver weft threads along a weft path to a needle bed having a needle bar. The machine has a weft thread magazine for transversely laying the weft threads across the breadth of the machine, in parallel, on the weft path, and upstream of the needle bed. The machine has at least one forwarding device for protruding into the weft path and through the needle bed for separating a leading one of the weft threads and bringing it to the downstream side of the needle bed, at least one support element for the weft threads having a support surface directed towards the needle bed. Also included is a vibration element connected to the weft thread support element.
