UNIT OF GUIDE ELEMENTS AND DEVICE FOR STITCHING JERSEY FABRIC USING SAID UNIT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC D04B1/00 

FIELD: textile.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to production of jersey fabrics, namely to the guide element unit and looping device using said unit, and can be used for automation of the process of knitting using spatial manipulator. Guide element unit comprises a set of panels, each being provided with at least one rod guide element (1). Said panel set comprises: at least one transverse-movable panel (2) installed with possibility of linear motion in plane perpendicular to axes of guide elements (1), and at least one lengthwise-movable panel (3) installed with possibility of straight-line movement along axes of guiding elements (1). Looping device comprises this unit of guide elements and at least one controlled manipulator with at least one working tool for thread handling.

EFFECT: technical result provides the possibility of unit reconstruction due to change of relative position of guide elements, which in turn provides improved universality of looping device with the possibility of producing webs of different sizes, shape and configuration, as well as faster looping due to possibility of unit reconfiguration during looping.
