Abstract: A summing arrangement controls the underlap and overlap movement of a guide bar of a warp knitting machine. The arrangement has a plurality of ordered elements each having at least one curved face. The ordered elements are mounted on the machine to allow a variation in the spacing between each. Also included is a plurality of adjustable roller devices, one between each adjacent pair of elements. Each of these roller devices can roll upon and push at least one of the elements at its curved face. An overlap arrangement can move against at least one of the ordered elements to influence each overlap movement.

Abstract: A guidebar shogging guide apparatus for use on warp knitting machines includes a guide assembly operatively coupled to the guidebar via an elongated slider bar means. The guide assembly includes a plurality of setting elements disposed within a housing. The setting elements are moved into position by means of a jacquard mechanism and provide predetermined increments which determine the position of the slider bar. These incremental distances are proportional to the needle spacing of the warp knitting machine needle bar. A shogging lever operatively coupled between the slider bar and the guidebar converts the incremental distances provided by the setting elements into an exact number of needle spaces thereby permitting the guidebar to be shogged in accordance with a predetermined program which controls the jacquard mechanism.
