Abstract
A hand knitting machine comprising a transversely extended needle bed having grooves, each receiving a hooked latch needle and a carriage having cam grooves formed on the undersurface thereof so that every transverse movement of said carriage may form a row of stitches by engagement of the cam grooves with the needles to be reciprocated along the respective needle grooves, and means for detecting the relative movement between said carriage and said bed to generate a signal for controlling a computer so as to lower the design picture of the selected fabric to be knitted by one step, whereby the number of stitches to be formed in the next operation may be observed on the display unit.
Claims7
A hand knitting machine comprising a transversely extended needle bed formed with a plurality of parallel grooves, each extending longitudinally thereof and receiving a hooked latch needle;
- a cam carriage having cam grooves formed on the undersurface thereof and adapted to be movable along said needle bed so as to engage with said needles to reciprocatingly move for forming stitches;
- and means for detecting the relative movement between said needle bed and said cam carriage so as to operate a computer to move a picture of the selected design of the fabric to be knitted appearing on a display unit step by stey every time the cam carriage is transversely moved, whereby conditions for the next knitting operation may be decided in reference to the design picture remaining on the display unit.
