ES385351A1 - Electric pattern attachment for a multi-system circular knitting machine - Google Patents

Abstract

Improvements introduced into electrical pattern forming devices for circular knitting machines with various systems with a rotating needle cylinder and electromagnetically sectioned positioning members, depending on the pattern, in the various systems, whose members act on needles or needle pushers, with a carrier drawing program containing information corresponding to a drawing to be knitted, a reading device for generating drawing signals corresponding to the information of the drawing program carrier, and with gate circuits, flip-flop circuit elements, memories and amplifier steps, through which the drawing signals determine the state of excitation of the electromagnets of the organs, adjusting synchronously with the turning movement of the needle cylinder, characterized in that as a carrier of the drawing program a tape is provided multi-track powered from the cil Needle box, on which it is associated with each partial drawing to be knitted, which may be associated with one or more colors, a separate track and on which the information for the groups of positioning organs are registered, displaced one with in relation to another, for the various knitting systems that occur on the periphery of the machine or that can be read at mutually displaced points by means of the reading device.
