Abstract
A machine is described for producing a knitted fabric with at least partial use of fibrous material (10), in particular a circular knitting machine (1). At least selected knitting stations (6) are assigned drawing frames (8) for producing threads (11) which are formed from the fibrous materials (10). According to the invention, the drawing frames (8) lie in the reaching area of an operator (5) working on the machine (1) and can be opened downwards (arrow v) or to the side.

- wherein said machine includes drafting devices (25, 65, 74, 111, 119, 127) with at least two pairs (II, Ill, V) of drafting device elements (29, 31;
- 29, 70;
- 81, 84, 103-105, 107, 112, 113, 115, 116, 120-123, 128-133, 156-159), which form nip lines (37, 38) arranged at an angle of between 0° and 90° to one another,
- wherein the drafting devices (25, 65, 74, 111, 119, 127) are arranged as folded drafting devices and the nip lines (37, 38) arranged at an angle form a folding zone (43, 68), and
- wherein the folding drafting devices (25, 65, 74, 111, 119, 127) have at least four pairs (I to V) of drafting device elements (28, 29, 30, 35;
- 28, 29, 69, 35;
- 80-83, 103-105, 107, 112, 113, 115, 116, 120-123, 128-133, 156-159), wherein when viewed in a transport direction (26) for the fibre material (27) a first pair (I) and a second pair (II) form a pre-drafting zone (41, 67), the second pair (II) and third pair (III, V) form the folding zone (43, 68) and the third pair (III, V) and a fourth pair (IV) form a main drafting zone (62, 66).
