Abstract
In a method and a knitting machine for the production of knitting goods with horizontal stripe a comparatively wide thread changing device having a plurality of thread fingers can be associated with two knitting points in such a manner that a first portion of the threads guided by the thread changing device can be fed to one knitting point and another portion of the threads can be fed to the other knitting point or to the knitting tools respectively moved there into a thread pick-up position.
Claims12
A method for production of knitted goods with horizontal stripe patterns on a knitting machine containing knitting tools, at least one first knitting point, a second knitting point arranged in front of the first knitting point in a knitting direction, and also at least one thread changing device, the method comprising the steps of bringing at least some of the knitting tools at the first knitting point into a thread pick-up position;
- by the thread changing device, fitting at least one selected thread to the knitting tools brought into the thread pick-up position at the first knitting point;
- associating the thread changing device with the first and the second knitting points;
- and selectively feeding by the thread changing device at one selected thread in each case to the knitting tools brought into the thread pick-up position at a knitting point selected from the group consisting of at the first knitting point, at the second knitting point, and at both knitting points.
A knitting machine for production of knitted goods with horizontal stripe patterns, comprising at least one support provided with movable knitting tools;
- a cam with at least one first knitting point and a second knitting point arranged in front in a knitting direction for moving selected knitting tools into a thread pick-up position;
- and at least one thread changing device for feeding selected threads to the knitting tools brought into the thread pick-up position at the first knitting point, wherein the thread changing device is configured and arranged in such a manner that the threads which are fed with it are selectively fed to the knitting tools moved into the thread pick-up position at a knitting point selected from the group consisting of the first knitting point, the second knitting point, and both.
A knitting machine as defined in claim three, wherein the thread changing device is arranged so that threads which are fed with it, are also selectively fed only to the knitting tools moved into the thread pick-up position at the first knitting point.
