Abstract
A guide drive device permits compact reception of a greater number of guide bars and nests within an existing installation space at a side portion of a knitting machine, by disposition of a drive source for guide attaching members in a space above a fan-shaped arrangement. A support member, attached to a machine frame, is provided with the drive source on the upper side of guide bars, directly, or via a base bar which constitutes an attaching and holding member. The guide bars are displaceable by operation of the drive source, and are arranged in parallel ranks successive in a direction intersecting with knitting needle rows. An angle of circumference can thereby be reduced for enhanced use of available space. The nest angle can be further reduced for improved patterning function surpassing that of a conventional Multibar Raschel machine by tightly fastening thread feed guides of the guide attaching members to driving long members respectively carrying out independent shogging motions.
