摘要:
A knitted metal fabric of at least two rows of loops, the rows of loops comprising metal chain knitted together to form a knitted metal fabric. The metal chain comprises a plurality of links of metal linked together to form the chain. The knitted metal chain fabric may be made into garments or used in any manner as other fabrics. A method for making the fabric includes providing at least one metal chain of links flexibly linked together, feeding the metal chain into a knitting machine, maintaining an even tension on the chain, knitting the metal chain into a knitted pattern to form a fabric, and weighting the fabric.

A feeder for a knitting machine includes a feeder arm with a dispensing area configured to feed a strand toward a knitting bed of the knitting machine. The feeder also includes a pushing member that is operably supported by the feeder arm. The pushing member is configured to push a portion of the knit component to provide clearance for the strand to be incorporated in a knit component.

A knitting machine includes a take-down assembly that includes a first take-down roller and a second take-down roller. The first take-down roller is configured to rotatably contact and apply tension to a first portion of a knit component. The second take-down roller is configured to rotatably contact and apply tension to a second portion of the knit component. The knitting machine further includes a first actuator that actuates to selectively adjust tension applied by the first take-down roller on the first portion of the knit component. Furthermore, the knitting machine includes a second actuator that actuates to selectively adjust tension applied by the second take-down roller on the second portion of the knit component. Additionally, the knitting machine includes a controller that is operably coupled to the first actuator and the second actuator to selectively and independently control actuation of the first actuator and the second actuator.
摘要:
In a flatbed knitting machine comprising at least two needle beds, at least one knitting system, at least one fabric take-off device and a take-off comb, the comb hooks (2) are covered by a take-off comb covering device (6) during at least one part of the rising motion of the take-off comb (1) so as to prevent previously knitted items from becoming caught up in the take-off comb.
摘要:
Knitting fabric take-down devices, located in front and back of and facing each other across a knitting fabric passageway formed under a needle bed gap between at least a pair of front and back needle beds of a flat knitting machine, for taking down a knitting fabric. Each of the knitting fabric take-down device includes a front knitting fabric take-down mechanism for capturing only a front part of the knitting fabric in the knitting fabric passageway and taking it down; a back knitting fabric take-down mechanism for capturing only a back part of the knitting fabric and taking it down; and a take-down force adjusting mechanism for adjusting a take-down force of each of the knitting fabric take-down mechanism. The front and back knitting fabric take-down mechanism each comprises a plurality of take-down members which are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the needle beds and are each adapted to be sequentially or individually actuated to take down the knitting fabric in the knitting fabric take-down operation.
摘要:
A fabric presser for use with a V-bed flat knitting machine. The fabric presser includes an elongate presser bar supported on the end of a presser bar arm which is mounted for a rocking motion. The presser bar may be moved in the rocking motion toward and away from needle beds of the knitting machine and these beds have a space between them to allow entry of the presser bar. A reversible motor is associated with the pressure bar supporting arm to move the presser bar into and out of the spaced needle beds. First and second proximity sensors are provided to detect whether the presser bar is advanced into the range for a knitting operation or is retracted into a range for a knitting operation.
摘要:
The knitted fabric winding-up device is formed as an auxiliary device which can be located beneath the needle beds (21, 22) on a lower supporting cross member (10), at the front side of a flat knitting machine, from which it is removable, and by means of a winding roller for formation of the fabric package (24) is pivotable from an inner position to an outer position. The winding roller (13) can, even in the outer position, be driven by a motor located in the lower supporting cross member (10) or can be decoupled and turned by hand.

For a knitted fabric expander device on flat bed knitting machines, the guide bars positioned at the edge of the knitted fabric with their end projecting over the comb gap (13) are coupled in a detachable manner via a switch body (31) with a holder/expander (18) arranged beneath the needle beds (11, 12). The guide bars can be drawn upwards through the comb gap (13) together with the switch body (31) and reinserted from above into their adjustable or movable holder/expander (18).
摘要:
A fabric draw-off roller (11) is described for flat-bed knitting machines equipped with individual roller elements (14, 14') situated side-by-side in line on a shaft (12), the rollers being allowed to turn relative to each other, but preferably restricted in their amount of angular movement. In order to ensure, with fabric draw-off rollers (11) of this type, that loose threads of the knitted fabric are prevented from entangling and jamming between neighboring roller elements (14, 14') when drawing off fabric from the machine, the individual roller elements (14, 14') are arranged at an axial distance from each other thereby forming a gap (54, 54') distance spacer (32, 32') is provided having a smaller external diameter than the maximum diameter of the roller element with at least one of its ends overlapping and penetrating an axial bore of an adjacent roller element (14, 14'). As a result, a circular gap (53, 53') between the external circumference of the distance spacer (32, 32') and the internal circumference of the roller element bore is formed, accessible from the axial gap (54, 54').
