Abstract
Abstract There is provided a novel arrangement and procedure for the formation of velour. In this procedure there are utilized two needle beds equipped with latch needles and a set of guide bars for laying a ground pattern about the needles of each needle bar, and a third set of guides for laying a weft thread between the two sets of needles to provide the threads which are thereafter cut through to produce the velour. The timing of the guides laying the weft thread is predetermined relative to the timing of the guides laying the ground pattern.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
286 words
A process of manufacturing velour ware on a Raschel knitting machine comprising a. a first needle bed of latch needles, b. a second needle bed of latch needles located parallel to said first needle bed, c. at least two first guides for laying thread about needles in said first needle bed, d. at least two second guides for laying thread about needles in said second needle bed, e. at least one third guide for laying a weft thread about needles in said first needle bed and about needles in said second needle bed said third guide being swingable substantially in the same plane as said first guides and said second guides and being located between said first guides and said second guides, said process comprising i. laying at least two threads about needles in said first needle bed by means of at least two first guides to form a first ground pattern, ii. laying at least two threads about needles in said second needle bed by means of at least two second guides to form a second ground pattern, iii. laying at least one weft thread about a needle in said first needle bed and, a needle in said second needle bed by means of said at least third guide to provide a weft between said first ground pattern and said second ground pattern, the elevations of said first needle bed and of said second needle bed relative to a predetermined point are the same at any predetermined time during the knitting cycle, the said guides laying the ground thread laying 2 or more even numbers of courses about the needles in their respective needle beds for each complete cycle of said third thread laying guide.
