Drawing-free method for circular knitting of wires, device for drawing-free circular knitting of wires and hose made of knitted wires

摘要

The method involves detecting a loosened end of wires by a needle (16) of a circular knitting machine (10) during a knitting process. The wires are transformed to a meandering stitch course by needles. A released section of the stitch course of conveying elements (24) arranged between the needles is detected and conveyed away internally from the needles. The wires are cut at end of the knitting process. The knitting process is continued until the tube section is not detected by the needles and the conveying elements. An independent claim is also included for a device for drawing-free circular knitting of wires to a wire mesh tube.
