Abstract

Warp knitting machine with a guide bar executing an oscillation movement and a base shift movement. Single thread guides are mounted thereon and are individually movable in a to- and fro- motion in the shift direction and are combineable into one or more groups and are group-wise adjustable by electrically controlled control motors under the influence of a program control having a pattern shift movement stored therein. Each of the control motors is connected to the thread guides of at least one group by a pull control cable held under tension which extends over the length of the guide bar and is further connected to the thread guides such that all thread guides of any one group execute the same pattern shift movement. The control motors are structurally supported independent from the guide bar. The pull control cables are guided from the guide bar at right angles and then deflected toward said motors. Cable guides, which are assigned to a guide bar, are mounted on a carrier which on one side is connected to the guide bar by a tongue in such a manner so that the carrier only follows the base shift movement. Also, the cable guides are arranged at such a distance from the thread guides in the shift direction so that during an oscillation of the thread guides no pattern shift movement in the array of the corresponding pull control cables will occur.
