METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING KNITTED FLEECES ON MULTINEEDLE KNITTING MACHINES

摘要

The present method teaches the production of knitted fleeces on multineedle knitting machines from a plurality of strand layers by entering the needles to different depths and thus into different strand layers and then forming stitches about bunches of strands seized by the needles out of different strand layers. The present apparatus comprises pressure means especially in the form of a plurality of pressure bars of different length or having contoured zones, which press the strand layers against the needles to different extents in different places whereby different needles enter to different depths into the strand layers.
