Abstract: A warp knitting machine with bearded needles (5) and a pattern press comprises a driven press bar (10) having individual press elements thereon. These are so controllable that during the working stroke (47) of the press bar (10) at choice there is provided a press contact onto the hooks (19) of the corresponding bearded needles (5) or not. Every pressing element (46) is provided with a piezoelectric bending transducer ((42) attached at one end whose free end (45) in the direction of the needle bed may either move from a first position during the working stroke 47 into a press contact and in a second position in which the press element 46 or a power transmitting element located forwardly thereof in the direction of the needle bed may be displaced. In this manner, it is possible to provide a safely constructed pattern press suited for high velocity operation.

Abstract: A warp knitting machine has across its working breadth in its working area a plurality of knitting tools and an adjacent fabric pull-off arrangement. A pair of gripping breadth holders between the working area and the fabric pull-off are located at both edges of a fabric path. Each of the gripping breadth holders have at least one driven wheel with a plurality of circumferential needles. The wheel is driven through a drive axis that is substantially parallel to the working breadth of the machine. The wheel is mounted to rotate about a wheel axis that is inclined at an inclination angle to the drive axis.
