Abstract
A warp knitting machine which includes a jacquard mechanism to control the pattern threads utilizes the jacquard mechanism to further control a thread breaking device and a thread tensioning device thereby providing an unusual thread pattern without the aid of a conventional pull thread.
Claims7
A warp knitting machine wherein the pattern threads are controlled by a jacquard mechanism comprising, in combination:
- (a) thread braking means operatively coupled to and controlled by said jacquard mechanism and adapted to receive said pattern threads therethrough;
- and
- (b) thread tensioning means operatively coupled to and controlled by said jacquard mechanism and adapted to receive said pattern threads therethrough, said thread tensioning means being activated at prescribed intervals by said jacquard mechanism after said thread braking means.
In a warp knitting machine wherein the pattern thread is controlled by a jacquard mechanism, the process of pulling together the wales of knitted goods in a pre-determined pattern by utilizing only the pattern thread comprising:
- (a) braking mechanism and thread tensioning mechanism controlled by said jacquard mechanism;
- (b) activating said braking mechanism prior to the activating of said tensioning mechanism at a pre-determined point along the wale to cause the pattern thread to have increased tension;
- and
- (c) releasing said tensioning mechanism and said braking mechanism for a pre-determined number of wales before the reactivation thereof.
