<p>The invention pertains to the technical field of knitting machines and it particularly relates to a process and a knitting machine to produce figured fabrics, for example with variegated inscriptions or patterns. The technical problem to solve is how to obtain, by means of completely automatized knitting machines, variegated inscriptions or patterns which neatly alternate on a fabric without interfering with the ground of the same. The solution to this problem is achieved by a process particularly for looms in which warp and weft yarns are tied together by means of chain stitches and in which it is also provided the formation of variegated patterns by means of pattern threads supplied to the needles by oscillating pattern-making members the oscillation of which is controlled by a jacquard-like device, in said process each of the above mentioned pattern-making members being caused to oscillate astride of a single needle, while the pattern threads that must not be hooked are stretched and folded down on auxiliary attachments disposed adjacent the needles and then caused to disappear between the front and rear weft yarns of the fabric being formed.</p> |
