Abstract: A warp knitting machine with Jacquard attachment including two knitting needles situated side-by-side, to which there are allocated two eye-pointed needles and only one urging feeder pin. Typically, the eye-pointed needles allocated to, respectively, two knitting needles can be displaced jointly by the urging feeder pin allocated to the two eye-pointed needles.

Abstract: A warp knitting machine typically equipped with latch-type needles, trace comb, and numerous guide bars for underlapping purposes. The keep-off rails for the pattern threads, running from the hook needles or guides to the latch-type needles, are mounted behind several or all latch-type needles, outside the operating range of the needle latch, their motion being synchronized with the motion of the needles. Typically, the lamellar keep-off rails, placed behind the latch-type needles in the direction of the oscillating movement, have an opening which is directed towards the needles. The opening in the rails has the shape of an orbit section which is slightly greater than the orbit section described by the latch of the needle. In a preferred embodiment, the lamellar keep-off rails are crimped in the direction of the shifting or shogging motion in the operating range of the needle latch.
