Thread clamping and cutting device
The thread clamping and cutting device is mounted next to the front needle
bed. The clamping devices (1) are actuated by the carriage.
The thread clamping and cutting device holds the thread of a yarn carri
er not
used for knitting at the moment. If the yarn carrier is not needed anymore, it is
positioned at its clamping position. The catch hook (2) pulls the thread
downward. Then the thread is clamped and cut off. When the yarn carrier is
used again, the carriage opens the clamping device after knitting a few rows
and the yarn end is released. The number of rows knitted until the clamping
device opens up, is programmed in the knitting program.
