摘要:
A flat knitting machine comprising: at least a pair of front and rear needle beds defining a gap therebetween; and a set-up device disposed below said gap, said set-up device including: a plurality of setting-up needles, each having a setting-up needle base member and a setting-up needle slider member, the setting-up needle slider member being movable relative to the setting-up needle base member to selectively hold and release a set-up portion of a knitted fabric; a setting-up needle bed supporting the plurality of setting-up needles so that the plurality of setting-up needles are juxtaposed to one another and that each of the setting-up needles is movable in both a fabric pull-down direction and a direction opposite thereto; first biasing means for biasing each of the setting-up needles in the fabric pull-down direction relative to the setting-up needle bed; and setting-up needle hold and release means for moving the setting-up needle slider member relative to the setting-up needle base member to thereby control the setting-up needle slider member to hold and release the set-up portion of said knitted fabric.

In a V-bed flat knitting machine, a set-up comb having a plurality of teeth which are hook shaped at their upper ends is up and down movably disposed beneath a gap between a pair of needle beds. When the set-up comb is elevated until the tooth ends thereof extend above the gap, the hooks at the tooth ends hook up loops to form a set-up course. If released at this stage, the comb is allowed to lower by its own weight the set-up course end of the fabric being knitted as knitting progresses while giving adequate tension to the fabric. There is provided a knockover plate such that when the set-up comb is lowered to a predetermined position the plate may push the hook-engaged fabric at a portion adjacent the lower end thereof and from the back side of the hooks. If the set-up comb is slightly elevated or the knockover plate is slightly lowered while the fabric is so pushed, then the set-up course is disengaged from the hooks.

Each of a plurality of sinker elements on a needle bed having a plurality of knitting needles of a hand-operated knitting machine has a vertically extending, endwise open slot formed at its forward end. For casting on, an end segment of a knitting yarn is successively passed through the respective slots of the sinker elements to twist the end segment with another segment of the yarn forming a first row. Needle loops in the first row are drawn from between the twisted yarn segments, thereby providing a knit article with a closed edge which will not be loosened by a pull at the edge of the article.
