Sueding means in a textile fabric-producing machine

摘要

A textile warp knitting machine is equipped with a driven sandpaper-covered sueding roll extending the full width of the fabric take-up section of the machine for peripheral engagement of the warp knitted fabric with the sueding roll to produce a raised suede-like nap on one fabric surface. The sueding roll is driven oppositely to the direction of fabric travel. The fabric is guided to contact the sueding roll periphery at two opposite locations thereon.
