Guidebar shogging linkage arrangement for warp knitting machines

摘要

A guidebar shogging linkage arrangement for warp knitting machines includes a pair of shogging guides, each having slider bars movable in a longitudinal direction pivotably connected to a common keying element by means of a pair of elongated levers. A shogging lever has its position determined alternately by the position of the first slider bar and then the second slider bar which position is programmed into the shogging guide by means of a predetermined program fed to a jacquard mechanism. The shogging lever is capable of moving the guidebar in fixed increments parallel to the needle bar. The shogging lever also includes a means for adjusting the amount of incremental shogging distance for the same incremental setting of the guide apparatus. A compensating drive means may also be coupled to the shogging lever to compensate for arcuate movements of the shogging lever. Alternating driving means are coupled to the shogging lever to enable alternate selection of the slider bar positions to effect the amount of movement of the shogging lever.
