With the comb take-down fabric pieces are automatically started and press off

When starting a new fabric, a net row is knitted with the elastic thread (comb
thread). The main and auxiliary take-down open and the comb take-down
moves upward. The sliders open the holding-down recesses on the comb
hooks.
The comb thread is automatically laid in
the hold
ing-down recesses and the
sliders close the holding-down recesses again.
After two stitch rows, the draw thread
is inserted and the knitting machine
begins with the fully fashioned article. The comb take-down adopts the
settings of the main take-down and pulls the fabric off downward.
As soon as the comb hooks are below
the main take-down, the take-down
rollers close and the
fabric is transferred to the fabric take-down. The sliders
open the holding-down recesses on the comb hooks. The comb take-down
releases the fabric and moves into the home position.
The sliders can open the comb hooks a
t any
point. Therefore, short shape
parts, e. g. collars or trimmings, can only be taken down by the c
omb take-
down. They are knitted without the main or auxiliary take-down.
