Systems and methods for automatically producing a cord structure are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises automatically forming, with at least one robotic arm, a first plurality of loops in a first plane, and automatically forming, with the at least one robotic arm, a second plurality of loops in a second plane orthogonal to the first plane, the second plurality of loops slippably engaged with the first plurality of loops. In this way, cord structures may be quickly constructed, thereby reducing labor input and expense.

A flat knitting machine yarn feeder with variable yarn feeding positions is provided. The flat knitting machine yarn feeder includes a driving mechanism and a yarn feeding mechanism. The driving mechanism is controlled by an electronic signal and includes a driving plate which makes a push stroke after started. The yarn feeding mechanism comprises a joining plate connected with the driving plate and a yarn feeding arm assembled with the joining plate. The joining plate comprises a guide hole. The yarn feeding arm comprises a guide column disposed in the guide hole. The joining plate makes a displacement stroke when the driving plate makes the push stroke. The guide column changes a position in the guide hole when the joining plate makes the displacement stroke. The yarn feeding arm changes a yarn feeding position when the guide column changes the position.

A knitted component may include a knit element formed with a plurality of courses and a plurality of wales, where the plurality of courses include a first course and the plurality of wales include a first wale and a second wale. A set of inlaid strands including at least a first inlaid strand and a second inlaid strand may be included. A first area and a second area may be included, where in the first area, each inlaid strand of the set of inlaid strands extends through at least a portion of the first course, and where in the second area, the first inlaid strand extends through the first wale and the second inlaid strand extends through the second wale.

An electronic yarn changing device for a circular knitting machine includes at least two driving units, at least two impelling plates respectively connected to the driving units, and at least two yarn feeding units. The impelling plates are impelled by the respective connected driving units to perform a one-dimensional motion. The yarn feeding units are arranged side by side, and are each provided sequentially with a yarn feeding plate, a yarn clamping plate, a mobile blade plate and a fixed blade plate. The yarn clamping plate includes a plurality of guide columns disposed correspondingly to the yarn feeding plate. The yarn feeding plates are respectively pushed by the corresponding impelling plates to perform a two-dimensional motion due to the plurality of guide columns. The mobile blade plates are also respectively pushed when the corresponding impelling plates perform the one-dimensional motion, and individually perform a one-dimensional motion once being pushed.

System and method of manufacturing a unitary construction of a weft knit article with one or more warp insert in an integrated knitting process by using a weft knit machine. The unitary construction comprises one or more yarn materials, which are incorporated into one or more weft and warp stitch structures. The knitting machine is equipped with a warp feeder assembly, including a weft knit warp feeder, a warp knitting guide needle block operable to hold a plurality of warp strands, a strand guide bar configured to guide the plurality of warp strands to the weft knit warp feeder, and a cam box. The cam box includes at least a weft stitch cam, a weft guard cam, a warp stitch cam, and a warp guard cam.

A method for manufacturing a cut resistant fabric includes: supplying a polyethene yarn with a thickness of 50-225 dtex as a protective yarn through a first yarn carrier of a circular knitting machine to a feeder needle at a first selected tension; supplying simultaneously an uncoated elastane yarn with a thickness of 20-80 dtex as a first additional yarn through a second yarn carrier of the circular knitting machine to the same feeder needle at a second selected tension that is higher than the first selected tension of the protective yarn; forming a fabric from the protective yarn and the first additional yarn as single-jersey knits; and interlocking the protective yarn and the first additional yarn in each single-jersey knit of the fabric using a heat treatment step on a stenter frame.

A single- or double-knit circular knitting machine having a cylinder (11) equipped with cylinder needles and/or a dial equipped with dial needles for the production of single- or double-jersey knitted webs, which machine has at least one thread-selection device, threads being able to be supplied to any cylinder- and/or dial needle by the thread-selection device.
