| 摘要 |
A flat-bed knitting machine is described, the needle bed apparatus of which has a front and back needle bed, each continuous and extending over a substantial portion of the machine length, and the carriage apparatus of which, having a stop-free cam system, is movable back and forth on or above the needle bed apparatus by means of a drive apparatus and is triggered by a program for various knitting patterns. The intent is with this kind of flat-bed knitting machine to enable more-productive knitting of two or more articles on the needle bed apparatus in one operation, by exploiting the needle bed space, and at the same time to use it for knitting only a single article on the needle bed apparatus. To this end, each carriage unit comprises at least two single- or multi-system carriages, in coupled drive, the spacing between which is adjustable and which can each be triggered independently of one another for various knitting patterns, and the drive apparatus for the carriage apparatus is embodied to be reversible. |
