摘要:
A fabric construction utilizing a tying yarn knitting arrangement wherein a portion of the tying yarns are threaded to engage needles so as to form two stitches with one on either side of the inlay warp yarn at rows of stitch formation. The neighboring stitches resist yarn separation and resultant combing while also blocking the commencement and propagation of de-knitting when a tying yarn is broken thereby enhancing seam strength character.

A process and apparatus is disclosed for feeding weft threads to a warp knitting machine including longitudinal conveyors traveling towards the knitting instrumentalities. Weft thread rakes are arranged outside of the longitudinal conveyors and are movable between a starting position in which the weft threads are placed into the longitudinal conveyors and the rakes, and a racking position against the traveling direction of movement of the longitudinal conveyors. After reaching the racking position, the weft threads are transferred onto the longitudinal conveyors and the rakes are then returned to the starting position in the direction of travel of the longitudinal conveyors. The move of the rakes from the racking position to the starting position is effected by a temporary coupling connection of the rakes with the longitudinal conveyors. After transfer of the weft threads, this coupling connection is cancelled as the rakes reach the starting position.

This invention relates to a warp knitting machine which is equipped with two longitudinal conveyors for conveying weft yarn groups towards a knitting head. The longitudinal conveyors comprise a plurality of hooks for engaging and holding the weft yarns and a weft yarn carriage is provided for laying the groups of weft yarns from one conveyor to the other. Each of the conveyors are provided with a depressing mechanism which includes a depressor which has an inactive position, an intermediate position and a depressing position. Means are provided for moving the depressor from the inactive position to an immediate position extending over a group of weft yarns laid between the hooks on one of the conveyors. Another means is provided for lowering the depressor from the intermediate position to the depressing position to depress the group of yarns into the hooks of the conveyor and for holding them there until the weft yarns are securely engaged in the hooks.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for laying groups of transverse weft threads for a warp knitting machine, the threads being laid on two longitudinal conveyors running to the needle bed by means of a carriage which is reciprocated between and transversely to the direction of travel of the longitudinal conveyors. The weft threads laid after the forward movement lie parallel to the weft threads laid after the backward movement and with the same spacing from the adjacent weft thread in each case. First groups of weft threads are laid as a first layer and then groups of weft threads are laid as a second layer on the first layer in a direction of their weft threads which forms, with the direction of the weft threads of the first layer, an angle, particularly of at least 20.degree., which opens transversely to the direction of travel of the longitudinal conveyors.

There is provided a warp knitting machine having needles and warp thread guides. A weft thread magazine has forwarding chains for providing the weft thread. Weft thread insertors bring the weft thread to the outtake side of the needles. At the upper dead point of the needles the weft threads are located in an inlay space between the outtake side of the needles and the innermost warp thread extending from the thread guides. Several of the innermost thread guides are provided with a rearwardly directed protrusion which, during the forwardly directed through-swing of the thread guides substantially closes off the inlay space at the upper dead point of the needles. This system reduces substantially the number of weft thread errors.

A weft thread magazine for a warp knitting machine has two endless transfer chains. The chains have holders for retaining weft threads in parallel and presenting them to a needle bed. Also included is a thread laying arrangement which transports the weft threads from one transfer chain to the other, and which is provided with a comb arrangement. The comb arrangement includes a comb element having at least one combing peg which is introduced between the weft threads proximate to one of the transfer chains and which moves parallel to the weft threads and is removed proximate to the other transfer chain. A carriage has a thread guide for guiding at least one weft thread into a position parallel to a previously laid weft thread. The comb element is carried on the end of the carriage directed toward the needle bed.
摘要:
A warp knit fabric which is stretchable in the direction of the wales by virtue of elastomer yarn forming the wales is made ravel resistant when cut in a transverse direction, by having a plurality of ends of elastomer yarn form each wale, with each yarn end having alternating knitted and laid in portions, each for a succession of stitches, the knitting and laying in of one yarn end being out of phase with the knitting and laying in of another yarn end. The wales are interconnected by inelastic yarn to form the fabric.

The single-stage building of 0.degree. belted pneumatic tires completely in flat band form on standard building drums, is disclosed. The feasibility of the process rests on the provision of the substantially inextensible metallic or non-metallic belt cords in the form of longitudinally extensible high "soft stretch" tapes. In a preferred version of the invention, the tape is composed of a plurality of cords each having formed therein a multiplicity of undulations which in any given straight length of the tape are substantially planar, the cords being disposed in side by side relation so that the planes of the undulations of each cord are generally parallel to the planes of the undulations of each adjacent cord, and the cords together with a relatively weak and frangible but only minimally undulated stabilizing yarn for the tape being secured to each other and held in their undulating state by a relative weak, chain stitch knitted, frangible stitching yarn or thread. The belt-forming structure is built by helically winding such tape circumferentially of the building drum in the medial region of the still cylindrical or flat band carcass at an angle of substantially 90.degree. to a plane including the common axis of the carcass and the building drum, with the undulations of the cords "on end", i.e. in planes generally normal to the surface of the building drum. Upon the raw tire then being radially expanded into its toroidal form, the stabilizing and stitching yarns break and the cords are straightened out, resulting in the formation of a mono-ply, plural-lead, helical cord 0.degree. belt in the shaped tire. The "soft stretch" of the tape used, i.e. the ratio of the length of the component cords when fully straightened without stretching, to the length of the unextended tape, may be as low as about 20% or as high as about 400%, depending on the extent to which, for any given tire, the belt-forming structure will have to expand radially from its starting diameter on the building drum to the final belt diameter in the toroidally shaped tire. Each cord may additionally be locally weakened at a multiplicity of longitudinally spaced points to facilitate a possible stretching or elongation of the cords after the same have been fully straightened out during the radial expansion of the belt. In any such tape, the component cords must be phased relative to each other to dispose the respective weakened portions of each cord out of lateral alignment with the weakened portions of at least each next adjacent cord, and the weakening interval should preferably be so selected that in the final belt the weakened portions are out of lateral alignment with each other in directions parallel to the tire axis. The full nature and extent of the invention is discernible, however, only by reference to the entire disclosure.
