A fluctuation in tension of a knitting yarn to be fed is reduced, and the knitting yarn having an accurate length is fed even if the amount of demand for the knitting yarn is suddenly changed. A knitting yarn is interposed between a main roller and a driven roller and is thus fed, and is supplied from a yarn feeding port to a fabric, with storage depending on an inclination of a buffer rod. A yarn feeding controller predicts the amount of demand for the knitting yarn based on a signal sent from ...

In order to process yarn preliminarily, and to change over yarn precisely at a desired knitting position, the yarn fed to a flat knitting machine is processed by a yarn processing device. To change over the yarn at a changeover position of knitted fabric, it is necessary to actuate the yarn processing device preliminarily at an actuating position C. A controller calculates the actuating position from a set value in a setting circuit and pattern information from a memory. When an encoder detects ...

In a flat knitting machine wherein a plurality of knitting locks work on a single needle bed to knit, the consumption of each yarn is measured and compared with the standard yarn length, and the stitch cam adjustment values of the respective knitting locks are corrected. The stitch cam adjustment data is stored for the respective combinations of stitch cams and yarns. Correction is not limited to the stitch cam which knitted the yarn of which consumption was measured. Correction by the same valu...

An object of the invention is to be provide a yarn feeding apparatus of a flat knitting machine capable of accurately predicting a required amount of a knitting yarn and knitting a fabric while supplying knitting yarn necessary for knitting. The knitting yarn is fed out based on an idea shown in a solid line in consideration of a yarn speed corresponding to the requirement for knitting yarn produced according to the movement of a yarn feeding member as shown by chain lines in FIG. 6(b). A knitti...

An object of at least one embodiment of the present invention is to stably feed a yarn by suppressing the effect of inertia in a buffer mechanism provided in a yarn feeding path. In at least one embodiment, a yarn feeder of the weft knitting machine feeds a knitting yarn from either of ends of a needle bed through a yarn feeding member to a knitting needle which carries out knitting motion based on knitting data while reciprocating the yarn feeding member in a longitudinal direction of the needl...

A knitting machine, a method of working yarn by the knitting machine, and a controller for working yarn by the knitting machine and its program. In the method, a carriage is controllably stopped at a point where a yarn passage length between a yarn working device and a knitting needle obtained by assuming that a buffer length on a tension arm is maximum matches a residual knitting length left before knitting at a point where yarn working is performed. When the carriage is stopped, the buffer len...

A carriage which completes one course of knitting to the knitting end of a fabric is stopped. Knitting in a next course is performed when the carriage reverses its moving direction and re-starts its movement. Since the knitting yarn is not knitted to the fabric until a carrier brought by the carriage reaches a position of a knitting needle holding the stitch of the fabric at the knitting end, the knitting yarn existing in a feeding path between a yarn feeding mechanism and the carrier is excessi...

A vehicular lamp which includes a lamp body having a front opening, a lens coupled to the front opening of the lamp body, a light source disposed within a lamp chamber defined by the lamp body and the lens, and convex and concave fish-eye lens steps arranged in a line direction thereof, wherein because step portions are formed at a boundary of the convex and concave lens steps and the convex lens steps and the concave lens steps are arranged to shift by half a pitch in a column direction thereof...

A permanent magnet applies first sliding resistance in-between a holding arm and a guide rail. A carriage is provided with an electromagnet for magnetically applying second sliding resistance in-between the holding arm and the carriage. Although the holding arm persists in moving through inertia when the carriage stops movement, a sliding resistance that is the sum of the first sliding resistance and the second sliding resistance acts on the holding arm, and it is possible to promptly stop. Sinc...

A content distribution system including a server device for selecting and distributing video scenes according to a user request, and a terminal device for receiving the video scenes from the server device. The server device stores a plurality of content files. Each content file includes a plurality of pieces of scene data together with scene additional information regarding playback of each piece of scene data. The server device selects pieces of scene data matching the user request, reads scene...
