DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention resides in a knitting machine, in particular a galloon crocheting machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Knitting machines, in particular the galloon crocheting machines of the foregoing type are well known, for example, from German Patent DE-OS No. 27 58 421. In these machines, the knitting needles and the setting needles lie practically in a horizontal plane. The knitting bars, which carry the thread guides for the weft or additional threads, lie overhead above the knitting station. This positioning impedes access to the knitting station considerably so that adjustment or monitoring of the knitting needles, the setting needles, and the thread guides is only accomplished with difficulty.
The object of the invention is to improve the knitting machines, in particular, galloon crocheting machines of the foregoing type so that the work region of the knitting needles and the setting needles as well as the thread guides is more easily accessible.
The stated object is achieved in accordance with the present invention in a surprising manner through the features defined in claim 1. By these, the plane of the knitting needles is inclined rearwardly and downwardly at an angle .alpha. equal to 20.degree.-40.degree. from the horizontal. This produces an especially favorable accessibility to the cooperative components at the knitting station, such as the knitting needles, the setting needles, the thread guides, and so forth. In this manner, during the set-up of the machine on the one hand, the correct setting of the threads is facilitated, and on the other hand, the adjustment of the cooperative elements at the knitting station as well. Beyond this, the continuous monitoring of such a knitting machine is substantially facilitated.
Advantageous detail arrangements of the knitting machine are described in claims 2-8.
The desired accessibility of the knitting needle region is further improved by the configuration according to claim 2.
It is particularly advantageous if, according to claim 3, the setting needles are arranged or positioned at the lower side of the knitting bar, and preferably run upwardly relative to the knitting needles. The warp thread then can be guided according to claim 4 whereby the handling of the warp threads and the setting needles permit their adjustment and monitoring to be further improved.
Further, it is particularly useful if the knitting machine is laid out according to claim 5, since then the portion of the pivotal arm projecting forwardly as well as the bar positioned thereon can be further reduced, which provides favorable accessibility to the knitting machine. The handling of the additional threads of which the monitoring as well as the adjustment of the corresponding thread guide is permitted through a further configuration of the knitting machine according to claim 6 is still further improved.
By means of the embodiment of the knitting machine according to claim 7, the goods produced are removed from the handling region at the work knitting station of the machine, which again provides favorable accessibility to the work region of the knitting machine. In this manner, it is of advantage if the knitting machine is further formed according to claim 8.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is described hereafter with the aid of the drawings which show as follows:
FIG. 1 illustrates a knitting machine configured as a galloon crocheting machine in a schematic illustration and in side elevation.
FIG. 2 illustrates the work region of the galloon crocheting machine of FIG. 1 at larger scale.
The galloon crocheting machine illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a series of knitting needles 2 at the work station. The needles are formed, for example, as hooked needles and can be assembled in various groups. The knitting needles 2 are fixed to a needle bar 4 which is located on pivot arms 6 that pivot back and forth about an axis 8. For driving the arm, there is a connecting rod 10 having a bearing ring 12 positioned on an eccentric ring 14. The eccentric ring is seated on a
