Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3124664A1] The publication is about a loop-forming process, which comprises the following actions: €¢ at least two system components (11, 12) are moved in one groove (16) of a needle bed relative to said needle bed (14) in a first direction (y) which corresponds to their longitudinal direction, €¢ said system components (11, 12) contact threads (23) for forming loops with their loop-forming means (20, 24), €¢ at least one spacer (10) is placed between two adjacent system components (11, 12) which are moved in the groove (16), €¢ whereby this spacer (10) contributes to the adjustment of the distance (21) between the loop-forming means (20, 24) of the two adjacent system components (11, 12) in a second direction (x) which corresponds to the direction of the width of the grooves (16) of the needle bed (14),whereby said at least one spacer (10) abstains from the loop-forming process, €¢ whereby the at least one spacer (10) is moved together with a first one of said two adjacent system components (11, 12) €¢ and whereby the at least one spacer (10) is at least temporarily moved inside a section (41) of the longitudinal (y) extension of a groove (16), €¢ in which the spacer (10) and the second system component (12) are in mechanical contact with each other and/or in which said spacer (10) is in mechanical contact with a second spacer (10) which is moved together with the second one (12) of said two adjacent system components (11, 12). An equivalent device and respective system components are also disclosed and claimed.
