摘要:
THE FRONT AND REAR THREAD TENSION "SEESAWS," WHICH OPERATE WITH THE RESPECTIVE FRONT AND REAR SETS OF WARP THREADS OF A TWO-NEEDLE BED RASCHEL KNITTING MACHINE, ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER BY A TENSION SPRING SO THAT UNIFORM TENSION IS MAINTAINED ON EACH SET OF WARP THREADS DURING SWINGING MOVEMENTS OF THE THREAD GUIDES ACROSS THE NEEDLE BEDS. THIS TENSION SPRING CONNECTION PROVIDES TENSION COMPENSATION BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR SETS OF WARP THREADS BY CREATING A CONSTANT EXCHANGE OF KINETIC ENERGY BETWEEN THE RESPECTIVE TENSION SEESAWS WHILE THE LOADING OF THE SPRING REMAINS SUBSTANTIALLY UNCHANGED.
