Abstract
A right-right warp knitting machine capable of providing pile fabrics such as velour includes two needle beds, each needle bed producing one fabric panel, utilizes one guide bar supplying a ground thread and at least a second guide bar for providing a pile thread. The panels may be connected together by a common thread which is cut after the completion of the fabric panels thereby forming two separate independent fabric panels having at least one velour surface.
Claims10
A process for manufacturing textured ware, such as pile fabrics, velour fabrics and combinations thereof, or the like on a warp knitting machine having first and second needle beds with a plurality of needles requiring external closing means disposed thereon, for producing a fabric panel on each said needle bed, first and second closing means adapted to cooperate with said needles for opening and closing said needles in a predetermined time sequence, and two first and two second guides for laying thread about said needles in said first and said second needle beds, respectively, comprising the steps of:
- (a) simultaneously laying a first thread about a first needle in said first and second needle beds by said first guides each working cycle for the formation of a stitch;
- and
- (b) periodically skipping the laying of a second thread about a second adjacent needle in said first and second needle bed by said second guides during said working cycle the laying of said first and second threads occuring in a predetermined time sequence.
A process for manufacturing textured ware, such a pile fabrics, velour fabrics, and combinations thereof, or the like on a warp knitting machine, having first and second needle beds with a plurality of needles requiring external closing means disposed thereon, for producing a fabric panel on each said needle bed, first and second closing means adapted to cooperate with said needles for opening and closing said needles in a predetermined time sequence, and two first and two second guides for laying thread about said needles in said first and said second needle beds, respectively, being alternatively swingable between said first and said second needle beds, comprising the steps of:
- (a) laying a first thread about a first needle in said first and second needle beds by said first guides each working cycle for the formation of a stitch, leaving a second needle adjacent to said first needle free of said first thread;
- and
- (b) occasionally laying a second thread about said first needles and about said second needles in said first and said second needle beds by said second guides for tying off by said first needles by said first threads during said working cycle and being knocked off from said second needles in a later working cycle as a pile loop;
- said laying of thread occuring in a predetermined time sequence, said first threads providing the ground work of said panels and said second threads forming relatively small pile loops when laid across a second needle on the same needle bar.
