Abstract (en)

Producing knitwear having stitches on a knitting machine comprises raising knitting needles at knitting systems to pick up threads, taking down the raised knitting needles into an intermediate position to pre-form the picked-up threads over sinkers to form loops of pre-selected lengths, and forming the stitches by drawing down the knitting needles into a lowermost position and raising the sinkers in an opposite direction. Producing knitwear having stitches from hard, inelastic thread material on a knitting machine provided with knitting needles and holding-down/knocking-over sinkers comprises raising knitting needles at knitting systems to pick up threads, taking down the raised knitting needles into an intermediate position to pre-form the picked-up threads over the sinkers to form loops of pre-selected lengths, and forming the stitches by drawing down the knitting needles from the intermediate position into a lowermost position and raising the sinkers in an opposite direction. An independent claim is also included for a knitting machine comprising a support, in which knitting needles (2) and holding-down/knocking-over sinkers (3) are disposed alternately beside one another, and knitting system(s) (8a, 8b), having a raising cam (22, 23) to raise the knitting needles, tread guide(s) to lay a thread into the raised knitting needles and a stitch-formation section with cams to assign opposite movements to the knitting needles and the sinkers to form stitches from the laid-in threads, wherein the butting system has between the raising cam and stitch-formation section a specific drawing-down edge (27a) drawing a raised knitting needle down into an intermediate position to form thread loops over the sinkers.

Abstract (de)

Es werden eine Strickmaschine und ein auf dieser auszuführendes Verfahren beschrieben, die zur Herstellung von Strickwaren aus hartem, unelastischem Fadenmaterial, z. B. aus Metallfäden, geeignet sind. Erfindungsgemäß werden an dafür vorgesehenen Stricksystemen (8a, 8b) Stricknadeln (2) zur Aufnahme von Fäden ausgetrieben, die anschließend über den Oberkanten von Abschlag/Einschließ-Platinen (3) zu Schleifen vorgeformt werden. Danach erfolgt die Maschenbildung durch entgegengesetzt gerichtete Nadel- und Platinenbewegungen nach Art der Relativtechnik (Fig. 3). <IMAGE>
