  • Patent number: 4266410
    Abstract: A warp knitting machine has a row of needles, a row of warp thread guides for feeding to the needles warp threads which form the chain stitches of a ground fabric and a row of weft thread guides for feeding to the needles weft threads which form the inlay of the ground fabric. At least one row of pile thread guides is used to feed a respective pile thread to each needle. A row of pile-thread reserve-forming supports is provided, each support being individually shiftable, by a jacquard mechanism, from a reserve-forming position to a reserve-releasing position. The reserve-forming support, when in the reserve-forming position, forms a reserve length in a respective pile thread, by increasing the length of the path which the pile thread takes to a respective needle. Each and every pile thread is provided with such a reserve length in each and every course of the fabric. Each needle is provided with a clamp which clamps the pile thread to the needle.
