Abstract
A fabric take-off roller arrangement for flat bed knitting machines is provided with two driven and parallel arranged fabric take-off rollers, between which a fabric web is tangentially guided, wherein at least one of the fabric take-off rollers is made up of roller elements, which are arranged next to each other in the axial direction and are coupled, fixed against relative rotation. The rollers are rotatably maintained on one bearing support, which is pivotable in a direction vertically to the orientation of the roller elements, and which are hingedly seated in relation to each other as well as to the bearing support and are pressed against the other fabric take-off roller in an individually adjustable manner. In order to create an improved hinged torque transmission connection, which can be produced more cost-effectively and is simpler to mount, between adjoining roller elements of the respective fabric take-off roller of such a fabric take-off arrangement, it is provided that on their facing ends, which are provided with a gear ring, the roller elements are coupled, fixed against relative rotation, with a gear wheel arrangement rotatably maintained in the bearing support, where…
