Abstract
A yarn guiding device for a knitting machine to guide a yarn unreeled from a creel located above the knitting machine before feeding the yarn to a knitting needle. The device includes a rectangular main body including a supporting member with a slot and connecting holes, and a yarn guiding member with a U-shaped recess for connection to the supporting member and yarn paths. A bracket joins the main body through a connecting member to allow the main body to pivot forward and is disposed in the knitting section of the knitting machine. The yarn guiding member is molded from 80 to 95 by volume of zirconium oxide and 5 to 20 by volume of yttrium oxide.
