Patent ID: 7251960

Claim:
A crochet galloon machine for warp knitting, comprising: a base ( 2 ); a front grooved bar ( 4 ) installed on a supporting base ( 2 ); a plurality of needles ( 5 ) disposed consecutively in side by side relationship along the front grooved bar ( 4 ); a plurality of eye-pointed needles ( 8 ) disposed consecutively in side by side relationship, parallel to the front grooved bar ( 4 ) and in front of the needles ( 5 ), and each provided to engage a respective warp yarn; actuating means ( 6 ) for longitudinal movement of the needles ( 5 ) to give said needles ( 5 ) a reciprocating motion along a first direction (A) substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension thereof; actuating means for transverse movement of the eye-pointed needles ( 8 ) to give said eye-pointed needles ( 8 ) a reciprocating motion substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension of the front grooved bar ( 4 ); a plurality of threading tubes ( 10 ) disposed consecutively in side by side relationship, parallel to the front grooved bar ( 4 ) above the needles ( 5 ) and each provided to engage a respective weft yarn; actuating means for transverse movement of the threading tubes ( 10 ) to transmit a reciprocating motion to said threading tubes ( 10 ) which is parallel to the longitudinal extension of the front grooved bar ( 4 ), so that the threading tubes ( 10 ) perform a relative movement with respect to the needles ( 5 ) which extends on either side of the needles ( 5 ) themselves; characterised in that it further comprises actuating means ( 13 ) for movement of the front grooved bar ( 4 ) to give said front grooved bar ( 4 ) an alternated motion component along a second direction (B) substantially parallel to the first motion direction (A) of the needles ( 5 ) so as to accompany the movement of said needles ( 5 ) in their alternated longitudinal motion.
