The device of a knitting machine

The main elements for a hand knitting machine are needles, decks and platinum, all of which form needle-platinum products. In the presence of these elements knitting machine "Severyanka" (user reviews confirm) allows their rearrangement without affecting the quality of the resulting knitted fabric.

This machine has tongue needles, in which a special tongue when turning on the axis closes the hook when removing another loop from it. The available bowl favors the tightness of the tongue with the hook during the loop retreat.

Platinum is stamped parts, the beards of which are the support for the needle when creating a new loop.

The carriage refers to an astringent element, which includes wedges fixed in the lock system. When the carriage moves along the bed, the wedges move the needles and create one loop row at a time.

After new loops are formed, the needles are raised to the tongue, which provides the final stage of work, in which the loop slides along the needle and falls behind the tongue. After that, the needles return to their original working state.

Needles knitting machine

The hand knitting machine "Severyanka" has beds with five blocks. The needle is divided into 168 grooves, inside of which there are grooves made of steel, needles are moved along them.

Two special rails attached to the needle bed are not only the slip of the carriage, but also an element for fastening it to the stand. The stand is made of sheet steel and has a rod with springs of platinum. Knitting machines "Severyanka" are equipped along the platinum with a special flap with discs with rubber gasket. Discs are used at the beginning of the process when fixing the threads.

After the preparatory work, the knitting machine "Severyanka" (customer reviews mark this) is easily attached to the edge of the table using clamps on the stand. On the needle bed, it is necessary to place the needles in an inoperative position, and only then install the carriage.

The carriage is inserted into the rails and checked for ease of sliding. After that, check that the brushes do not come into contact with the platinum, and the counter of the loops was at the required angle. All detailed instructions are in the instructions for the machine.

Before you start knitting, you need to set the required number of needles in the working position. To make it easier to count, on the machine "Severyanka" every 10th platinum is painted in black. All unclaimed needles must rest against the lower rail.

To do this, the tip of the thread should also be fastened to the left washer of the flap, but do not stretch it, and wrap around the heads of working needles around the right to the left, after which the carriage is moved to the left. At the same time, the loops pass under the tongues of the needles.

Then with your left hand you need to wind the thread for the first working platinum, and also draw the thread on the open tabs, then move the carriage to the right. The thread is always laid along the movement of the carriage so that there are no tears. The carriage must always be brought to the end, otherwise the needles and grooves may break.
