Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A warp knitting or Raschel machine comprising a row of vertical needles, a plurality of vertical needles, a plurality of thread guides for supplying warp thread to said needles, means for feeding weft or filler thread to said needles for producing knitted fabric, said weft or filler thread extending over the entire width of the machine, and means for reciprocating said needles mainly vertically and said thread guides mainly horizontally during a knitting cycle, a sinker arrangement comprising a plurality of sinkers movably mounted above said needles and capable of performing a substantially circular or orbital movement, and means for moving said sinkers horizontally in timed relationship with the movement of said thread guides, and vertically in timed relationship with the movement of said needles, the sinkers thus performing said substantially circular or orbital movement serving to hold said weft or filler thread in place during the rising movement of the needles.
