LOOP-FORMING METHOD AND LOCKING SYSTEM FOR AN INTERLOCK KNITTING MACHINE

摘要

The inventive method for forming loops in a row of interlocking stitches, locking course consists in knitting said stitches on the long needles of a cylinder and a transfer disk and using short needles without any idle times in the loop-forming systems. According to Fig.1 the entire loop-forming process is carried out in the region of a group of transfer cams starting from the yarn (10) by means of the short needles of the cylinder including needles (5) and (6) and the short needles of the transfer disk, including needles (3) and (4). The total loop-forming process is carried out simultaneously and without any idle time by means of the long needles of the cylinder, including needle (1) from the yarn (9) and needle (2) from the yarn (11), in addition to the long needles of the transfer disk, including needle (7) from the yarn (9) and needle (8) from the yarn (11). The groups of the transfer cams of the inventive locking system which elevate the needles of the cylinder (and transfer disk) whose heels are arranged in a direction to the yarn carriers thereof, are arranged in an opposite manner to the groups of transfer cams which carry out a sinking process during the loop formation with the aid of opposite needles having another position of the heel from another yarn carrier.
