Abstract

An apparatus for supplying a multi-layer, multiaxial yarn stratum to the knitting site of a warp knitting machine, with endless conveyor chains for guiding the yarn stratum to the knitting site, with at least two multiple yarn guides, which can be moved changeably over both conveyor chains for each yarn sheet and with means for supporting the yarn stratum. The prelaid yarn stratum is supplied in such a manner, that at least one endless conveyor belt is driven synchronously with the conveyor chains and supports the yarn stratum, and is guided over guide rollers mounted on the frame with the distance between the guide roller and the knitting site bridged with the help of supporting guiding elements for the yarn stratum.
