Abstract

A multi-thread single-line shuttle stitch line, consisting of at least three threads, where each top thread is independently and separately connected with each bottom thread in a pre-determinable sequence of such connection through perforations in the material, with all of said top and bottom threads passing through said perforations, making one stitch line. The top threads can be intertwined, as can the bottom threads. A process for producing a multi-thread single-line shuttle stitch line, where at least three threads are involved to form said stitch line, with a stitch of said stitch line being formed by connecting a top thread with a bottom thread by cooperation of a needle and a shuttle, and a desired number of said needles with said top threads and a desired number of said shuttles with said bottom threads being used, with only one of said needles and one of said shuttles cooperating at a time, forming a current couple; with any of said needles forming said current couple with any of said shuttles in a desired sequence. Thus, a high degree of variability in the sequence of connecting the top and bottom threads allows for a flexible transformation of the structure of the stitch line in the process of its production. Needles are fixed to a revolver with needle bars located along the periphery of said revolver and oriented along the rotation axis of said revolver, and equipped with a device, which provides for the enabling of said current couple; shuttles are fixed to another revolver with said shuttles located along the periphery of said revolver, and are equipped with a device, which provides for the enabling said current couple.
