CHAIN KNITTING MACHINE, PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING PATTERNED KNITTED ARTICLE AND PATTERNED KNITTED ARTICLE

摘要

Said loom has needles (8) for inserting drawing threads (7), which can be brought to at least three stable positions. The fundamental shift is such that the maximum possible total shift of said needles (8) takes place at least above four knitting needles (2). In preset pattern regions, the total shift is selectively below one to four knitting needles (2). Thus, a warp knitted article with a pattern of at least three thickness / thinness gradations, or with a two-tone pattern, is obtained.
