Unit to move knitting needle latches - achieves precise opening or closing of latches using gas or air jet

摘要

A knitting needle latch movement unit is for the opening and closing of knitting needles and produces an air or a gas jet to move a needle latch in the desired direction. The needle tongue is opened or closed as a result of a force corresponding to the surface projected by the latch in the cross-section of the jet. ADVANTAGE - The movement is carried out with precision and independently of the running time of the knitting machine.
