A carriage 14 is reciprocable along a needle bed of a flat knitting machine and carries a needle cam. A pair of stitch cams 12 and 13 are adjustably supported by the carriage 14 and are disposed so as to trail behind the needle cam in alternate strokes of the carriage, respectively. An adjustment mechanism 11 includes a stepping motor 38 (FIG. 3) which adjusts the trailing stitch cam 12 or 13 not only at the beginning of the respective stroke but also during the course of the stroke itself, thereby enabling the stitch density to be varied within each row of the knitted article as well as from row to row.
摘要:
A method of adjusting the knitting densities of respective courses when a flat knitted fabric is to be produced. The knitted yarn length having been used in the reference section is compared in the subsequent knitting operation with the reference yarn length to actuate the knitting density drive unit on the basis of the compared values so that the knitting cam is so rose or lowered as to increase or decrease the knitting density and the comparisons of the reference yarn length and the knitted yarn length are compared until the two lengths become coincident.

A knitting-transfer cam unit for V-bed flat knitting machines wherein needle butts of the needle bodies of slider needles are selectively lowerable in the needle channels of the needle beds by means of a needle selection device, and wherein the slider needles have sliders provided with slider butts and arranged for the transfer of stitches, comprises stationary and movable cam elements for engagement with the needle butts and the slider butts, and also comprises pressure cam elements. In order to be able to perform any combination of stitch formation and tuck loop formation with each traverse of the carriage, or in order to be able to transfer any stitches without additional transfer cam units, at least one movable cam element for engagement with the needle butts for the formation of stitches is provided and is movable at the positions of carriage reversal, symmetrical movable cam elements are provided for engagement with the needle butts and slider butts for the transfer of stitches, the cam elements for engagement with the slider butts are stationary or movable and are formed such that they define slider butt channels delimited on both sides for a relative movement between needle body and slider in the slider longitudinal direction, a selection position for the needle butts is provided at the central transverse axis of the cam unit and respective selection positions for the needle butts are provided towards each end of the cam unit.

In a flat knitting machine wherein needles or jacks connected thereto, each has two butts, front and rear and wherein there is provided a space below a center cam and between a pair of raising cams in a knitting lock, there is disposed in the space a loop-receiving raising cam having a cam face adapted to act on the rear butt to raise the needle to a loop receiving path and also present therein a loop-receiving lowering cam face formed of a bottom portion of the center cam and adapted to lower the needle to the loop receiving path. Preferably, a retractable guide cam is located above the center cam and there is disposed above the guide cam a loop-transfer lowering cam having a cam face adapted to act on the rear butt to lower the needle. Further, above this loop transfer lowering cam is there retractably disposed a loop-transfer raising cam which has a cam face adapted to act on the front butt to raise the needle. In this way there are disposed a knitting lock and a transfer lock at same phase in the direction of movement of the carriage, without involving any increase in the length of cam box in that direction and also in the longitudinal direction of the needle. No increase is involved in the length of needle trick either.

A double knitting cam unit for knitting machines, with working jacks arrad in the needle channels of the needle beds behind the knitting needles and Jacquard jacks arranged behind these, includes superposed needle cam units (AD), jack cam units (BD) and Jacquard jack cam units (CD) with fixed and movable cam elements. In order to enable a transfer of stitches independently of the carriage traverse direction and independently of the transfer direction towards the front, towards the rear or in both directions at the same time, the cam units (AD, BD, CD) are made symmetrical to the central line (L) between the two parts of the double knitting cam unit and each needle or jack cam unit (AD, BD) contains movable transfer cam elements (1/1) and each jack or needle cam unit (BD, AD) contains movable acceptor cam elements (9, 8) for stitch transfer. Preferably, the movable transfer cam elements (1/1) are made movable in the needle cam unit (AD) in the longitudinal direction of the needles and the movable acceptor cam elements (8, 9) are provided in the jack cam unit (BD).
摘要:
A cam-support carriage for a knitting machine comprises movable cams for controlling knitting needles. The cams are adapted to be put out of operation by an electro-magnetic positioning device. The electro-magnetic device comprises a permanent magnet having a low coercive field associated with a magnetization/demagnetization coil and a moving part of ferromagnetic metal, integral with the cam to be positioned. The coil is connected to an excitation and control circuit ensuring magnetization and demagnetization of the permanent magnet by a current pulse in the coil, in order respectively to attract and release said moving part and its integral cam in order to being the cam out of or into operation.

A wing cam guide for knitting machine locks and, in particular, those used for knitting machines having arcuate needles, needle beds and needle guides, includes a wing cam mounted on a pivot axis.
摘要:
A flat bed knitting machine comprising a jack disposed in needle slot for controlling the movement of the needle, and selector jack for actuating the jack. The selector jack is tiltable upon being pushed by a selector controllable electrically in accordance with a pattern for lowering its butt out of the camming action. A group of cams for acting on the jack butts comprises tuck cams for advancing needles to a tucking position, and a unit of movable and fixed cams arranged in an inverted V-shape around the tuck cams for advancing needles to a knitting position. A combination of knitting, tucking and non-knitting in one course can be performed by jacks selectable in a preceding step so as to be shifted to a tuck cam acting position, and movable under the movable cams being retracted in a following step so as to engage the tuck cams, by jacks newly selectable so as to engage the cams which advance needles outside of the tuck cams to the knitting position, and by jacks that can be maintained at rest.

A knitting machine having reciprocable knitting tools and a cam operated means for reciprocating said knitting tools in which said cam operated means provides an amount of play in the movement of the knitting tools and means for moving said knitting tools an additional distance within the play permitted by said cam operated means.
摘要:
A hood which is mounted to and shields a slide which in turn is longitudinally movable on a straight knitting machine, has contact devices for triggering a stopping mechanism for the knitting machine slide on the end faces of the hood as viewed in the direction in which the slide travels, with the hood being displaceable longitudinally relative to the slide through a distance corresponding to at least the braking distance of the slide after the stopping mechanism is triggered.
