Process for production of weave-knit material

Abstract

A process for the manufacture of knitted goods with integrated weft and/or warp threads on a knitting machine having at least one needle bed by way of an actuatable thread guide which is movable in a controlled manner in the direction of the needle bed independently of a thread guide of a knitting feed system of the knitting machine. In the process, a thread is fed to a knitting region of the knitting machine by the thread carrier, which is guided along the needle bed in order to insert a warp thread corresponding to a desired length over several needles. The thread is inserted without intermeshing into the knitting region by the insertion of a warp thread over several courses of loops of the knitted goods, and remains in place without the thread being laid on tuck or intermeshed, and by the insertion of a diagonally extended thread, is moved along the needle bed during the formation of the loops of the knitted goods in the knitting machine.
