Abstract
A method and apparatus for the production of a textile strip, by preparing and aftertreating an intermediate product, with the product textile strip being a new article of manufacture and having long weft elements, especially long weft threads, provided diagonally to the strip length, intersecting one another, and connected by longitudinal rows of stitches. The apparatus includes a device on a warp knitting machine, particularly a thread knitting machine, having at least one movable weft laying device, in order to work long weft elements or weft threads, which extend over the entire working width, into the textile strip. A strip of a weft and warp knit is initially produced as intermediate product, having long weft elements, particularly long weft threads, connected by stitches, by subsequently bringing the weft threads into a very oblique position relative to the strip length, by diagonal displacement of the strip of the weft and warp knit, by doubling the weft and warp knit, so that the oblique long welf threads of one main layer of the doubled material intersect the oblique long weft threads of the other main layer, and by finally fastening the two main layers of the doubled wel…
