Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0036195A2] In a single-cylinder circular knitting machine having two needle beds or needle-carrying structures (1,2), the lower structure (2) comprises a needle cylinder and the upper structure (1) penetrates for its major portion into the cylinder and has needle tricks (15) therein of arcuate shape with their center of curvature located on the same side as the cylinder, for accommodating arcuately bent latch needles (16). The needles (16) have their hooks and latches arranged on the convex side of the arcuate shape. They may have butts intended for controlling their movements, or be controlled by means of jacks. The upper needle-carrying structure (1) may advantageously be open at the center to allow the knitted fabric (25) to be pulled and/or discharged to the top. A machine of this type may have the same number of needles in both needle-carrying structures (1,2), even where the latter have small diameters, and a smaller height dimension than traditional needle cylinder and dial machines of equal diameter.
