Abstract: A process can form an arrangement for a warp knitting or circular knitting machine with (a) a single hardenable retaining material, (b) a plurality of thread processing elements having proximal ends, and (c) a carrier having a face with a groove. The process includes the step of introducing the hardenable retaining material before it is hardened into the groove of the carrier. The process also includes the step of holding the thread processing elements in a single plane. Another step is introducing the proximal ends of the thread processing elements into the non-hardened retaining material, keeping the thread processing elements in a single plane with even separation while protruding from the face of the carrier. The process also includes the step of waiting for hardening of said retaining material, wherein the proximal ends are embedded in the carrier.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for laying a drawthread into a machine knitted fabric. Before it is laid the drawthread is carried from between one side and another of the yarns which are being knitted to form the fabric by a component which passes between yarn guides of the machine. The component may be permanently located between the yarn guides or may pass between the yarn guides and out again between two stitch forming cycles of the machine. On both sides the drawthread is positioned by the said component clear of the area where stitches are formed so that it is not knitted into the fabric.

One set each of eye needles (12) is anchored by injection-molding in supports (8,9) at mutually equidistant positions, the needles being mutually parallel by their main planes. Two supports (8,9) each with a set of eye needles (12) form one segment of eye needles. The heads (22) of the eye needles (12) of the first set (24) of needles alternatingly enter centrally between every two heads of the eye needles of the second set (25) of needles. The two sets of needles are fixed within the segments and are oblique in such a manner that a conceptual plane from one of the sets (24) of needles (plane (5) of the set) extending along the eye needles and through the heads of this set of needles intersects the plane (5') of the set of the other needle-set (25) in the region of the heads.

Abstract: Crochet tools for producing bands on a crochet galloon machine. For the production of thin bands on ten or more crochet needles (10, 10') per centimeter of width, the stems of the crochet needles (10,10') are clamped over more than half the length of the needle. A knocking-over bar (20) fastened to the machine has a free straight edge (66) which adjoins closely but without play those parts of the crochet needles (10,10') which project out of the clamp device. The crochet needles are clamped with adequate security against lateral bending. There is no friction between the crochet needles at the knocking-over bar (20). The crochet needles can be clamped in groups, so that they stiffen one another. For the feeding of elastic threads use is made of combs (6) which are displaced laterally to-and-fro relative to the crochet needles in the working rhythm, but which are disposed at a uniform height relative to the crochet needles.

Abstract: There is provided a warp knitting machine having needles and warp thread guides. A weft thread magazine has forwarding chains for providing the weft thread. Weft thread insertors bring the weft thread to the outtake side of the needles. At the upper dead point of the needles the weft threads are located in an inlay space between the outtake side of the needles and the innermost warp thread extending from the thread guides. Several of the innermost thread guides are provided with a rearwardly directed protrusion which, during the forwardly directed through-swing of the thread guides substantially closes off the inlay space at the upper dead point of the needles. This system reduces substantially the number of weft thread errors.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing tufted carpet by precutting yarn into individual tufts, and pressing the tufts into an adhesive coating on a backing material. Individual yarns are selectably clamped on a sliding bed, and the sliding bed is moved forwardly to a tufting position. Forward movement of the bed withdraws the yarns and cuts the withdrawn yarns to desired length. The yarns are then unclamped, and a tufting bar passes through aligned secondary and primary tufting slots to press the cut yarns against the backing material. The yarns are supplied through a yarn pattern head having a number of yarn bars individually and selectably positionable to vary the tufting pattern in any predetermined manner.

Abstract: The jacquard attachment is provided with a guide means having slot-like eyes for guiding the jacquard yarns and a comb above the guide means for reciprocating in the shogging direction to engage selected ones of the jacquard control yarns for movement sideways in the eyes. The eyes are of a width equal to one or more needle spacings to allow movement of the yarns therein.

Abstract: A steering system for controlling the operation of a warp knitting machine performing the function of a conventional jacquard mechanism includes an electromechanical mechanism to maintain the steering element in one of its two possible terminal positions. The system includes a steering mechanism disposed generally above and in relatively close proximity to the guidebar drive levers of the knitting machine and is operably coupled to a plurality of steering elements which are disposed proximate the guides of the machine. Activation of the electromechanical device coupled to a predetermined programming device causes the steering elements to be maintained in one of its two stable conditions which may be synchronized with the source of machine driving power.

Abstract: There are provided jacquard controlled warp knitting machines equipped with yarn guide units having yarn guides wherein the heads of said yarn guide members are so oriented that, when uninfluenced by the jacquard dropper pins, two or more yarn guide member heads may pass between any predetermined pair of needles on the needle bar of the machine.

Abstract: The present yarn guide tubes are fixed on one face of profile plates which are in turn carried on a support bar operated from the carrier rods of the knitting machine. The centers of the yarn guide tubes are spaced the same distance as the spacing of the needles and the free ends are sufficiently spaced apart to at times to permit the needles to pass therebetween. Selective positions on the support bar, or the entire support bar, may be provided with the profile plates and inlay yarns are fed through the selected tubes where it is desired to produce zig-zag striping, diamonds and various other motifs in the knit fabric.

Abstract: A guide bar assembly for use in a warp knitting machine in which a plurality of ferromagnetic, tubular yarn carrier elements are disposed between two bar rails forming a guide bar and can be shifted longitudinally independently from each other. The elements are magnetically held in apertures between the bar rails which can be longitudinally shifted in opposite directions to shift the elements.

Abstract: There is provided a yarn guide unit for use with Jacquard controlled warp knitting machines. The guides comprise a plurality of conventional yarn guides and, between each yarn guide there is provided a shorter, rigid tab. The guides and the tabs are mutually oriented so that the head of the tab contacts an adjacent face of its neighboring yarn guide. The contacted face of the yarn guide is always the side of the yarn guide other than that contacted by the influencing Jacquard dropper pin. The effect achieved by the presence of rigid contacting tabs is to both reduce feathering of the yarn guides after withdrawal of the influencing Jacquard dropper pin and to insure that the yarn guide, on the immediately following stitch cycle is correctly oriented in the warp knitting machine with respect to the needle bed.
