Abstract
A warp knitting machine for making pile ware having at least two guide bars carrying guides (L1, L2, L3) and a pile sinker bar (5) carrying pile sinkers displaceable in the longitudinal direction. The guides lay the threads forming the ground ware without crossing over the pile sinkers and lay the threads forming the pile loops by crossing over the pile sinkers. At least one guide bar (L1, L2) is equipped as a jacquard guide bar. The displacement of this guide bar, is so chosen that, in dependence upon the jacquard controls (9), the guides (6,7) can lay either a ground ware (15) or pile loops (14).
Claims15
A warp knitting machine for producing pile ware with threads, comprising:
- a pile sinker bar having a plurality of pile sinkers displaceable in the longitudinal direction, said pile sinkers being operable to hold and be encircled by pile loops;
- and
- at least two guide bars each having a plurality of guides, at least one of said guide bars (a) having jacquard guide means for displacing its guides and (b) being arranged to shog by an amount that selectively produces, in dependence upon the jacquard guide means, either ground ware or pile loops, ground ware being formed by laying the threads without crossing over said pile sinkers, pile loops being formed by laying the threads across the pile sinkers.
A process for producing warp knitted pile ware utilizing a warp knitting machine having a pile sinker bar, and at least two guide bars, at least one being a jacquard guide bar having a jacquard control system, including the steps of:
- laying threads with said jacquard guide bar to form ground ware, under the influence of said jacquard control system, ground ware being formed by laying the threads without crossing over said pile sinkers;
- and
- alternately laying threads with said jacquard guide bar to form pile loops, under the influence of said jacquard control system, pile loops being formed by laying the threads across the pile sinkers, the pile sinkers and the jacquard guide bar shogging by an amount that selectively produces, in dependence upon the jacquard control system, either ground ware or pile loops.
Jacquard pile ware produced by warp knitting, the pile ware comprising:
- ground ware and pile loops, said pile loops being arranged in a predetermined, arbitrary pattern with areas having pile loops and alternate areas devoid of pile loops, said pile loops being formed from threads which threads are stitched both:
- (a) in said areas having pile loops and (b) in said alternate areas devoid of pile loops.
Jacquard pile ware produced by warp knitting, the pile ware comprising:
- ground ware and pile loops from two thread systems, said pile loops being arranged in a predetermined, arbitrary pattern, said pile ware having a plurality of alternating areas either (a) devoid of pile loops, (b) occupied by pile loops from one of the thread systems or (c) occupied by pile loops from the other one of said thread systems, said pile loops being formed from threads which threads are stitched both:
- (a) in said areas having pile loops and (b) in said areas devoid of pile loops.
Jacquard pile ware produced by warp knitting, the pile ware comprising:
- ground ware and pile loops arranged with areas having pile loops and alternate areas devoid of pile loops, said areas devoid of pile loops alternating with areas having a predetermined density of pile loops and areas having pile loops at twice said predetermined density.
