METHOD FOR INCORPORATING AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL THREAD AND CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for incorporating at least one additional thread (7) in the direction of the wales into a machine-produced RR circular knit (20), in which - in each case the additional thread (7) is carried along by a thread laying device (3), - the thread laying device (3) is designed to be rotatable about an axis in the extension of a knitting needle (6), wherein the knitting needle (6) is a dial needle (6), and - in a period of time in which the knitting needle (6) is driven forwards, the thread laying device (3) executes a circular arc movement such that the additional thread (7) is presented by the thread laying device (3) either a) to a knitting needle (6) driven forwards into the tucking position at a knitting cam not actively involved in the knitting process or b) to a knitting needle (6) driven forwards into the knitting position at a knitting cam (27) actively involved in the knitting process, wherein in case a) the additional thread (7) is introduced at the knitting cams not actively involved in the knitting process in each case into the open needle head (19) of the knitting needle (6), which already carries the half mesh of the knitting thread (18), and, at the subsequent knitting cam (27) actively involved in the knitting process, is incorporated by the knitting needle (6) into the knit (20) together with the knitting thread (18), and wherein in case b) the additional thread (7) is introduced at the knitting cams (27) actively involved in the knitting process in each case together with a knitting thread (18) into the open needle head (19) of the knitting needle (6) and subsequently incorporated by the knitting needle (6) into the knit (20) together with the knitting thread (18). Furthermore, the invention relates to a circular knitting machine and also a circular knit obtainable by the method according to the invention.
