Abstract of WO 2009139042 (A1)
A setting-up device for flat knitting
machine that allows freely detaching of a setting-up yarn from a setting-up
needle and ensures easy low-cost working of the setting-up needle and that even
in the event of a decrease of downward tension to a knitted fabric during
knitting operation, is free from accidental disengagement of the setting-up
yarn from the setting-up needle. In the setting-up device (1), each setting-up
needle (3) comprises a pair of setting-up needles consisting of, disposed in
opposite relationship, a first setting-up needle (5) and a second setting-up
needle (6). When an interlock part (9) of the first setting-up needle (5) and
an interlock part (10) of the second setting-up needle (6) are in interlocking
positional relationship, the interlock part (9) at its inferior area (9a) is
capable of holding a setting-up yarn (50). When the interlock parts are not in
interlocking positional relationship, the setting-up yarn (50) cannot be held
up.
