Abstract

There is provided a warp knitting machine for diagonally laying warp threads with thread guides that circulate around a continuous pathway. The warp threads are taken from spools located on a fixed creel and are led through a fixed thread feed arrangement located above the circulating path. The frame is rotatable about a perpendicular turning axis in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the thread guides. These rotations have the same circuit times. In this way it is possible to provide long time intervals between the stopping times necessary for the replacement of the spools. It also allows the use of many different types of thread material.
