GUIDE DRIVE UNIT IN WARP KNITTING MACHINE

Title:

GUIDE DRIVE UNIT IN WARP KNITTING MACHINE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/038368

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A guide drive such that it is possible to increase the number of guide fitting members, mainly of guide bars and nests even when the warp knitting machine is installed in a conventional small space, and to eliminate the need for a large installation space at the side of the warp knitting machine by effectively utilizing the space above a fan-shaped array to install its drive power source (displacement generating means) in the space. Displacement generating means (3) is provided above guide bars (10) to a supporting member (1) fitted to a frame (2), either directly or via a base bar (5) which is a fitting and holding member. The guide bars (10) are connected displaceably to this displacement generating means (3). A plurality of arrays of guide bars are arranged in parallel to each other and in a direction crossing a row of needles. Each guide bar is displaceable independently, thereby making it possible to reduce the angle of circumference of guide bar unit installation. Furthermore, in order to provide a guide drive unit surpassing multi-bar Raschel machines in patterning function, thread feeding guides of guide fitting members are fastened to long members for driving use, each shogging independently, thereby narrowing the nest angle.
