WARP KNITTING MACHINE WITH PATTERN PRESSER

摘要

PURPOSE: A warp knitting machine with pattern presser is provided, thereby it is possible to provide a safely constructed pattern press suited for high velocity operation. CONSTITUTION: A warp knitting machine with bearded needles(5) and a pattern press comprises a driven press bar(10) having individual press elements thereon. These are so controllable that during the working stroke(47) of the press bar(10) at choice there is provided a press contact onto the hooks(19) of the corresponding bearded needles(5) or not. Every pressing element(46) is provided with a piezoelectric bending transducer(42) attached at one end whose free end(45) in the direction of the needle bed may either move from a first position during the working stroke(47) into a press contact and in a second position in which the press element(46) or a power transmitting element located forwardly thereof in the direction of the needle bed may be displaced.
