Abstract:
A knitting machine for clothing has a needle module with a plurality of needle units. Each of the needle units has a needle hook and a plurality of protrusions. The machine also has a first actuation module with a carriage that has a track to connect to one of the protrusions. The carriage can move left and right, and this movement moves the needle units in a longitudinal direction. The machine also has a second actuation module with a connector that has a screw thread to mesh with another one of the protrusions. The connector can move up and down, and this movement moves the needle units.
Abstract:
A clothing-manufacturing knitting machine, and the clothing-manufacturing knitting machine that includes a needle unit including a needle hook formed in an end portion and a protrusion formed in a middle region, a connector including a screw thread formed to mesh with the protrusion of the needle unit, and an actuator configured to actuate the connector to rotate. The needle unit meshing with the screw thread is moved forward or backward as the connector is rotated by the actuator. Accordingly, there is provided a clothing-manufacturing knitting machine with a new actuating system.
Abstract:
A circular knitting machine and a method for knitting an article with such a circular knitting machine, wherein the article is at least partially knitting by a reciprocating rotational movement of a needle cylinder in a forward direction and a backward direction. Needle elements are either being moved in axial direction of the needle cylinder by a stationary cam means according to a predetermined path of a stationary cam means or being moved in axial direction of the needle cylinder by a movable cam according to an amended path or being disengaged from the cam means and movable cam. The movement of each needle element near each movable cam can be individually controlled.
Abstract:
A gear rack adjustment wheel for circular knitting machines includes a holding deck mounted on a circular knitting machine, an adjustable sliding block located at the bottom of the holding deck, a sliding trough formed in the holding deck to communicate with the adjustable sliding block, and an adjustment mechanism which includes an anchor pin and an adjustment wheel with a screw thread formed thereon. The adjustment wheel is housed in the sliding trough to be in contact with the adjustable sliding block. The adjustable sliding block has a gear rack on one side to couple with the screw thread of the adjustment wheel so by turning the adjustment wheel drives the adjustable sliding block.
Abstract:
A needle selection module finger (30) is comprised of a finger member (31) and a finger holding member (40). The finger member (31) has a butt abutting portion (33) and a support (34). The support (34) has projections (35, 36) at its lower part. The finger holding member (40) has, from its one end toward the other end, a connecting portion (41) having concave parts (42, 42a) for accommodating the projections (35, 36) at the lower part of the support (34), a finger pivot support (43), and a piezoelectric body engaging portion (45). The finger member (31) and finger holding member (40) are positioned by inserting the projections (35, 36) of the finger member (31) in the concave parts (42, 42a) of the finger holding member (40), and are integrally connected to each other by inserting a pin 50 in holes (37, 37a) formed in the projection (35) and a connecting portion (41).
