Knitting machine

Abstract

The invention provides a knitting machine (1), comprising a machine frame (2) and at least one looping tool guide bar(3). The looping tool guide bar(3) can swing relative to the machine frame (2) via swinging driving mechanisms(11-14). In order to maintain the manufacturing and work costs of the knitting machine to be low, the looping tool guide bar(3) is connected with the machine frame (2) via a bending movable joint device(6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a knitting machine with a frame and at least one loop forming tool bar, which can be swiveled relative to the frame by means of a pivot drive. Background technique [0002] In the case of a knitting machine, in order to form a loop, the loop forming tool must be relatively moved. The same kind of loop forming tool is fixed on the loop forming tool bar here. In order to realize the movement of the looping tool, the looping tool bar is pivoted several times relative to the machine frame. This applies, for example, to knitting needle bars, but also to bars with loop sinkers (Polplatine), or to bars with sliders (Schieberplatine). The bar with the guide needles must also be pivoted relative to the frame. Here, however, a traversing movement also takes place, so that the guide needle can, for example, perform a closed circular movement around the knitting needle. [0003] A knitting machine of the type mentioned at the outset is...

Problems solved by technology

These supporting mechanisms must be maintained, such as lubricated, and due to their high precision, they are relatively cumbersome to manufacture and install
