ABSTRACT:
A fabric draw-off roller (11) is described for flat-bed knitting machines equipped with individual roller elements (14, 14') situated side-by-side in line on a shaft (12), the rollers being allowed to turn relative to each other, but preferably restricted in their amount of angular movement. In order to ensure, with fabric draw-off rollers (11) of this type, that loose threads of the knitted fabric are prevented from entangling and jamming between neighboring roller elements (14, 14') when drawing off fabric from the machine, the individual roller elements (14, 14') are arranged at an axial distance from each other thereby forming a gap (54, 54') distance spacer (32, 32') is provided having a smaller external diameter than the maximum diameter of the roller element with at least one of its ends overlapping and penetrating an axial bore of an adjacent roller element (14, 14'). As a result, a circular gap (53, 53') between the external circumference of the distance spacer (32, 32') and the internal circumference of the roller element bore is formed, accessible from the axial gap (54, 54').
