Abstract
A needle bar adjustment bar mechanism that may be used to alter the separation between the knockover points on a warp knitting machine includes a pair of support members. Each of the support members has the guiding means for one of the needle bars and the associated trick plate affixed thereon. An adjustment control provides for the simultaneously moving of the support members to increase the separation between the trick plates while maintaining essentially constant the distance between the needles on one of the pair of needle bars with respect to the needles on the other needle bar at their uppermost dead point of travel.
Claims6
A needle bar adjustment mechanism to alter the separation between knockover points on a warp knitting machine having a frame, a pair of needle bars with a plurality of needles affixed thereon, a trick plate cooperating with each said needle bar, a plurality of guide bars having a plurality of guides affixed thereon and a driving power source operatively coupled to said needle bars and said guide bars, comprising, in combination:
- (a) a pair of support members, each said support member having the guiding means for one of said needle bars and said associate trick plate affixed thereon;
- and
- (b) means for simultaneously moving said support members apart to increase the separation between said trick plates, while maintaining essentially constant the distance between said needles on one of said pair of needle bars with respect to the needles on the other needle bar at their uppermost deadpoint of travel.
