Abstract
The present invention relates to an auxiliary driving device for the patterning device for a warp knitting machine, including a desired number of movable bodies each having at least a portion thereof formed as a guide point, the movable bodies being disposed in a guide path so that they are movable on the basis of driving means installed thereon, patterning being effected in that the individual guide points are moved by desired amounts of displacement in optional directions on the basis of signals transmitted from an electronic control section to the driving means for the individual movable bodies and are thereby positioned. The invention provides a device and method enabling the movement of the movable body to follow even a high speed rotation, and is characterized in that it includes auxiliary driving means for adding to the driving force from the driving means during start and movement involved in the lapping caused by the movable body. For example, the blowing of compressed air is used and the force with which the compressed air blows through a nozzle which is installed in a portion of the movable body is utilized or the compressed air is blown through a nozzle directed to the …
