Device for fastening active components to the bar of a wrap knitting machine and accompanying tool for removing and installing the active components

Abstract

In a device for fastening active components (18) to the bar (6) of a warp knitting machine, the bar (6) has transverse channels (24) each of which is intended to receive a guide section (25) of the active component (18), and a longitudinal groove (20) for receiving holding sections (21) of the active component (18). The longitudinal groove (20) has an uncovered insertion opening area. The transverse channels (24) are arranged next to it. The holding sections (21) are wedged into the longitudinal groove (20) by means of the force of a spring (22). A tool (29) for removing and installing the active components (18) has a first driver (34) carried by an operating handle (31), which driver is fitted to a first stopper (35) on the active component (18) and contributes towards extracting the holding part (21) from the longitudinal groove (20). The result of this is a structure without play, with precise positioning and minimal weight.
