Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Warenabzugswalzenanordnung, insbesondere für Flachstrickmaschinen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a Goods take-off roller arrangement, in particular for Flat knitting machines, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer derartigen aus der DE 42 42 969 A1 bekannten Warenabzugswalzenanordnung, insbesondere für Flachstrickmaschinen, sind die Walzenelemente an ihren zugewandten Enden mit ineinander- und nebeneinandergreifenden Klauen versehen, von denen die Klauen des einen Endes an ihren den Klauen des anderen Endes benachbarten Flächen zweidimensional ballig sind. Dadurch sind benachbarte Walzenelemente aneinander gelenkig gelagert, so dass die Enden benachbarter Walzenelemente mittels des Stützträgers in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Warenabzugswalze bewegbar sind.In such a known from DE 42 42 969 A1 Goods take-off roller arrangement, in particular for Flat knitting machines, the roller elements are on their facing ends with one another and interlocking claws, of which the Claws of one end on their claws of the other The end of adjacent surfaces are crowned in two dimensions. As a result, adjacent roller elements are articulated to one another stored so that the ends of adjacent roller elements by means of the support beam in a direction perpendicular to Longitudinal extension of the goods take-off roller are movable.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die der Übertragung des Drehmoments dienenden und mit balligen Flächen versehenen Klauen sich nur mit großem technischem Aufwand fertigen lassen und daher den Kostenrahmen für ein derartiges Walzenelement sprengen. Darüberhinaus ist das Zusammenfügen einer Warenabzugswalze aus den mehreren axial aneinanderzureihenden Walzenelementen relativ schwierig, da die Klauen jeweils benachbarter Walzenelemente innerhalb eines am Stützträger gehaltenen Radialkugellagers zusammengefügt werden müssen.It has been shown that the transfer of the Torque serving and provided with spherical surfaces Claws can only be manufactured with great technical effort let and therefore the budget for such Blow up the roller element. Beyond that is assembling a goods take-off roller from the several axially roller elements to be lined up relatively difficult because the claws of adjacent roller elements within each a radial ball bearing held on the support bracket must be put together.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Warenabzugswalzenanordnung, insbesondere für Flachstrickmaschinen, der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine verbesserte, kostengünstiger herzustellende und einfacher zu montierende gelenkige Drehmomentübertragungsverbindung zwischen benachbarten Walzenelementen der betreffenden Warenabzugswalze schafft.The object of the present invention is therefore a Goods take-off roller arrangement, in particular for Flat knitting machines, of the type mentioned at the beginning create that improved, less expensive articulated to manufacture and easier to assemble Torque transmission connection between neighboring Roll elements of the relevant goods take-off roller creates.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist eine erhebliche Vereinfachung bei der Herstellung der gelenkigen Drehmomentübertragungsmittel zweier benachbarter Walzenelemente erreicht, da sowohl der Zahnkranz der Zahnradanordnung als auch der der Walzenelemente in einfacherer Weise herstellbar ist. Desweiteren ist die Montage der einzelnen nebeneinander gereihten Walzenelemente dadurch vereinfacht, dass jeweils lediglich die Zahnkränze von Walzenelement und Zahnradanordnung in axialer Richtung ineinander gesteckt werden müssen.The measures according to the invention are considerable Simplification in the manufacture of the articulated Torque transmission means of two neighboring Roller elements achieved because both the ring gear of the Gear arrangement as well as that of the roller elements in is easier to manufacture. Furthermore, the Assembly of the individual in a row Roller elements simplified in that each time only the sprockets of roller element and gear assembly in must be inserted into each other in the axial direction.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ergibt sich durch die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 2, wonach jeder Stützträger in einfacher Weise mit der Zahnradanordnung bestückt werden kann.An advantageous embodiment results from the Features according to claim 2, according to which each support beam in be easily equipped with the gear arrangement can.

Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 4 ist eine einfach zu montierende und das entsprechende Drehmoment übertragende Verbindungsvorrichtung zwischen den Zahnrädern erreicht.With the features of claim 4 is easy to assembling and transmitting the corresponding torque Connection device between the gears reached.

Eine dem Betrieb standhaltende feste Verbindung zwischen den beiden Zahnrädern einer Zahnradanordnung kann gemäß den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 5 verwirklicht werden. Dabei ist es, wie anhand der Merkmale nach Anspruch 4 verwirklicht, zweckmäßig, die beiden Zahnräder gleichzeitig mit dem einen Teil des Radialwälzlager drehfest zu verbinden.A permanent connection between the the two gears of a gear arrangement can according to the Features according to claim 5 are realized. It is it, as realized on the basis of the features of claim 4, expedient, the two gears simultaneously with one To connect part of the radial roller bearing in a rotationally fixed manner.

In besonders vorteilhafter Weise ist die Montage dann weiter vereinfacht, wenn die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 7 und hier vorzugsweise des Anspruchs 8 verwirklicht sind. Damit können nach jeder Anordnung eines Walzenelementes die mit der Zahnradanordnung versehenen Stützträger aufgeschoben und in der vorgegebenen Stellung, in der die eine Seite der Zahnradanordnung mit dem benachbarten Walzenelement in Eingriff steht, fixiert werden.The assembly is then particularly advantageous further simplified if the features according to claim 7 and here preferably of claim 8 are realized. In order to can with each arrangement of a roller element the support provided with the gear arrangement and in the predetermined position in which one side of the Gear arrangement with the adjacent roller element in Intervention stands, be fixed.

Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 9 ist erreicht, dass der Spalt zwischen benachbarten Walzenelementen zu einem erheblichen Teil ausgefüllt sind, um das Einklemmen von losen Strickfäden zu vermeiden. Diesem Ziel dienen auch die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 10 und/oder Anspruch 11. With the features according to claim 9 it is achieved that the Gap between adjacent roller elements into one substantial part are filled in to pinch to avoid loose knitting threads. They also serve this goal Features according to claim 10 and / or claim 11.

Gemäß den Figuren 1 und 3 besitzt die hier von einer Flachstrickmaschine losgelöst dargestellte Warenabzugswalzenanordnung 10 eine Warenabzugswalze 11 und eine parallele Gegenwalze 12, die umfangsseitig praktisch aneinanderliegen und zwischen denen eine in Figur 3 nur schematisch dargestellte Warenbahn 13 in Form eines Gestrickes von oben nach unten durchgezogen bzw. von der Flachstrickmaschine abgezogen wird. Dazu sind die Warenabzugswalze 11 und die Gegenwalze 12 gegeneinander gemäß den Pfeilen A und B motorisch angetrieben. Eine derartige Warenabzugswalzenanordnung 10 ist insbesondere für sogenannte Kammmaschinen geeignet.According to FIGS. 1 and 3, this one has Flat knitting machine shown detached Goods take-off roller arrangement 10 a goods take-off roller 11 and a parallel counter-roller 12, the circumferential practical abut each other and only one between them in Figure 3 schematically illustrated web 13 in the form of a Knitted fabric pulled through from top to bottom or from the Flat knitting machine is pulled off. These are the Goods take-off roller 11 and the counter roller 12 against each other motor-driven according to arrows A and B. A such goods take-off roller arrangement 10 is in particular suitable for so-called comb machines.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist, ist die Warenabzugswalze 11 aus mehreren identischen Walzenelementen 16 und mehreren gelenkigen Drehmomentübertragungsmitteln in Form von Zahnradanordnungen 15 zusammengesetzt. Jede Zahnradanordnung 15, die über einen Stützträger 17 an einer starr an der Flachstrickmaschine befestigten als Rohr 18 ausgebildeten Achse schwenkbar aufgehängt ist, verbindet die einander gegenüberliegenden Enden 21 und 22 zweier benachbarter Walzenelemente 16 drehschlüssig und in Richtung der möglichen Bewegung des Stützträgers 17 gelenkig.As can be seen from the drawing, the Goods take-off roller 11 from several identical Roller elements 16 and several articulated Torque transmission means in the form of Gear assemblies 15 composed. each Gear arrangement 15, which has a support bracket 17 on a rigidly attached to the flat knitting machine as tube 18 trained axis is pivotally suspended, connects the opposite ends 21 and 22 of two adjacent roller elements 16 rotatably and in Direction of possible movement of the support beam 17th articulated.

Der am Rohr 18 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils C schwenkbar gehaltene Stützträger 17 ist gemäß den Figuren 1 und 5 im Wesentlichen plattenartig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich über im Wesentlichen den gesamten Spaltbereich 19 der im Abstand einander gegenüberliegenden Enden 21 und 22 benachbarter Walzenelemente 16, wobei er aus dem dem Rohr 18 abgewandten Ende des Spaltbereichs 19 herausragt. Gemäß Figur 2 besitzt der Stützträger 17 im Bereich des Innenraums der hohlzylindrischen Walzenelemente 16 eine kreisförmige Ausnehmung, die durch einen axial verbreiterten Ringbund 26 begrenzt ist. In den Innenumfang des Ringbundes 26 ist der Außenkranz 27 eines Radialwälzlagers 28 aufgenommen, dessen Innenkranz 29 zwischen den zwei Zahnrädern 23 und 24 der Zahnradanordnung 15 drehschlüssig gehalten ist. Der Stützträger 17 ist mit seiner Lagerschale 31 am Rohr 18 gehalten, das zu beiden Seiten der Lagerschale 31 mit Ringeinstichen 32 und 33 versehen ist, in die Sicherungsscheiben 34 eingebracht sind, so dass der Stützträger 17 auf dem Rohr 18 in axialer Richtung fixiert ist. Diese Ringeinstiche 32 und 33 sind in bestimmten Abständen paarweise am Rohr 18 angeordnet, so dass die Lage der Stützträger 17 vorgegeben ist.The pivotable on the tube 18 in the direction of the double arrow C. Support bracket 17 held in accordance with Figures 1 and 5 in Essentially plate-shaped and extends over essentially the entire gap area 19 of the in Distance opposite ends 21 and 22nd adjacent roller elements 16, being from the tube 18 protrudes opposite end of the gap region 19. According to Figure 2 has the support bracket 17 in the area of Interior of the hollow cylindrical roller elements 16 a circular recess through an axial widened collar 26 is limited. In the inner circumference of the collar 26, the outer ring 27 is one Radial roller bearing 28 is added, the inner ring 29th between the two gears 23 and 24 of the gear assembly 15 is held in a rotationally locking manner. The support bracket 17 is with its bearing shell 31 held on the tube 18, the two Sides of the bearing shell 31 with ring recesses 32 and 33 is provided, introduced into the locking washers 34 are so that the support beam 17 on the tube 18 in axial Direction is fixed. These ring punctures 32 and 33 are in certain distances in pairs on the tube 18, so that the position of the support beams 17 is predetermined.

Die identisch ausgebildeten Zahnräder 23 und 24 jeweils einer Zahnradanordnung 15 sind gemäß den Figuren 6 und 7 mit einem Außenzahnkranz 36 versehen, dessen Zähne 37 quer zum Umfang bogenförmig und im Längsquerschnitt ballig sind. Der Außenzahnkranz 36 jedes Zahnrads 23, 24 kämmt mit einem Innenzahnkranz 38 des betreffenden hohlen Walzenelements 16. Der mit geradlinigen Zähnen versehene Innenzahnkranz 38 des Walzenelements 16 ist einendig in einer Flucht mit dem betreffenden Ende 21, 22 des Walzenelements 16. Die Breite des Innenzahnkranzes 38 ist etwas größer als die des Außenzahnkranzes 36 des Zahnrads 23 bzw. 24. Durch die bogenförmige und ballige Ausbildung der Zähne 37 des Außenzahnkranzes 36 des Zahnrades 23, 24 ergibt sich eine gelenkige Verbindung zwischen der Zahnradanordnung 15 und den benachbarten Walzenelementen 16 bzw. benachbarter Walzenelemente 16 zueinander. Diese gelenkige Verbindung ist notwendig bei der Schwenkbewegung des Stützträgers 17 gemäß Doppelpfeil C.The identically designed gears 23 and 24 each A gear arrangement 15 are according to FIGS. 6 and 7 provided with an external ring gear 36, the teeth 37 transversely are arcuate to the circumference and crowned in the longitudinal cross section. The outer ring gear 36 of each gear 23, 24 meshes with one Internal ring gear 38 of the hollow roller element in question 16. The inner toothed ring 38 provided with straight teeth of the roller element 16 is in one end in alignment with the relevant end 21, 22 of the roller element 16. The width the inner ring gear 38 is slightly larger than that of Outer ring gear 36 of the gear 23 or 24. By the arcuate and spherical formation of the teeth 37 of the External ring gear 36 of the gear 23, 24 results in a articulated connection between the gear arrangement 15 and the adjacent roller elements 16 or more adjacent Roller elements 16 to each other. This articulated connection is necessary when the support beam 17 is pivoted according to double arrow C.

Das Zahnrad 23, 24 besitzt gemäß Figur 6 an einer Seite eine koaxiale Nabe 41, die stirnseitig ein Formschlußprofil 42 aufweist, deren vorstehenden Profilelemente 43 dieselbe Geometrie wie die zurückgesetzten Profilelemente 44 aufweisen. Diese Geometrie macht es möglich, zwei Zahnräder 23, 24 mittels des Profils 42 formschlüssig und damit drehschlüssig ineinander steckend zu verbinden, wie dies auch aus Figur 2 hervorgeht. Zwei benachbarte Zahnräder 23 und 24 werden mit Hilfe einer Verbindung aus Schraube 46 und Mutter 47 durch die Nabe 41 hindurch axial zusammengehalten. Die Schraubenmutterverbindung 46, 47 ist derart angezogen, dass die beiden Zahnräder 23 und 24 axial gegeneinander verspannt werden und dadurch den Innenkranz 29 des Radialwälzlagers 28 zwischen sich reibschlüssig klemmen. Da die Naben der Zahnräder 23, 24 am Umfang durch den Innenring des Wälzlagers 28 begrenzt sind, kann sich die elastische Verformung des Kunststoffmaterials durch die Kraft der Verschraubung nur im Bereich der Klauenverbindung auswirken und gewährleistet damit, dass diese spielfrei ist.The gear 23, 24 has according to Figure 6 on one side a coaxial hub 41, which has a positive-locking profile on the end face 42 has, the projecting profile elements 43 the same Geometry like the recessed profile elements 44 exhibit. This geometry makes it possible to have two gears 23, 24 positively by means of the profile 42 and thus to connect in a rotationally interlocking manner, like this also emerges from Figure 2. Two adjacent gears 23 and 24 are made using a connection from screw 46 and nut 47 axially through the hub 41 held together. The nut connection 46, 47 is tightened such that the two gears 23 and 24 axially against each other and thereby the inner ring 29 of the radial roller bearing 28 between them frictionally terminals. Because the hubs of the gears 23, 24 on the circumference the inner ring of the roller bearing 28 are limited, can the elastic deformation of the plastic material by the Force of the screw connection only in the area of the claw connection impact and thus ensures that these are free of play is.

Die Montage der aus den Walzenelementen 16 und den Zahnradanordnungen 15 bestehenden Warenabzugswalze 11 geht folgendermaßen vor sich: Zunächst erfolgt die Vormontage der Zahnradanordnung 15 aus jeweils zwei Zahnrädern 23 und 24 am mit dem Radialwälzlager 28 versehen Stützträger 17. Es wird ein erster Stützträger 17 über das Rohr 18 geschoben und mittels der Sicherungsscheiben 34 an der vorgesehen äußersten Position der Ringeinstiche 32 und 33 mit Sicherungsscheiben 34 fixiert. Danach wird ein Walzenelement 16 mit seinem einen Ende 22 auf das Zahnrad 23 des ersten Stützträgers 27 aufgesteckt, so dass die Außenverzahnung 36 in die Innenverzahnung 38 in Eingriff kommt. Danach wird der nächste vormontierte Stützträger 17 auf das Rohr 18 aufgeschoben, und zwar soweit, bis das dem vorhergehenden Walzenelement 16 zugewandte Zahnrad 24 mit diesem in Eingriff kommt. In dieser Position ist der Stützträger 17 zwischen zwei Ringeinstichen 32 und 33 am Rohr 18 gehalten und kann dort mit Sicherungsscheiben 34 axial gesichert werden. Danach wird wieder ein Walzenelement 16 auf das zugewandte Zahnrad 23 des zuletzt aufgeschobenen Stützträgers 17 geschoben, usw., bis die Warenabzugswalze 11 komplettiert ist. Da die Zähne 37 der Außenzahnkränze 36 der Zahnradanordnungen 15 an den Zahnflanken und am Zahnkörper gerundet sind, haben sie nur Punkberührung mit den geradlinigen Zahnflanken der Innenverzahnung 38 der Walzenelemente 16, so dass sich eine formschlüssige, der Drehmomentübertragung dienende aber dennoch räumlich bewegliche Verbindung zwischen den Zahnradanordnungen 15 und den Walzenelementen 16 ergibt. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass ein Walzenelement 16 durch eine Verdickung im Gestrick von der Gegenwalze 12 sektoral abgehoben werden kann, jedoch mit seiner restlichen Wirkfläche noch an der Gegenwalze 12 anliegt, um auch an dem nichtverdickten Bereich die Abzugskraft einzuleiten. The assembly of the roller elements 16 and Gear assemblies 15 existing goods take-off roller 11 goes as follows: First, the pre-assembly takes place the gear assembly 15 each made of two gears 23 and 24 on the support bracket 17 provided with the radial roller bearing 28. There is a first support beam 17 via the tube 18th pushed and by means of the locking washers 34 on the provided the outermost position of the ring recesses 32 and 33 fixed with lock washers 34. After that, a Roller element 16 with its one end 22 on the gear 23 of the first support bracket 27, so that the External toothing 36 engages in the internal toothing 38 comes. Then the next pre-assembled support beam 17th pushed onto the pipe 18 until the previous roller element 16 facing gear 24 this engages. In this position the Support bracket 17 between two ring punctures 32 and 33 on Pipe 18 held and can there with lock washers 34th be axially secured. Then it turns on again Roller element 16 on the facing gear 23 of the last pushed support beam 17 pushed, etc. until the Goods take-off roller 11 is completed. Since the teeth 37 of the External sprockets 36 of the gear assemblies 15 to the They have tooth flanks and rounded teeth Punk contact with the straight tooth flanks of the Internal teeth 38 of the roller elements 16, so that a positive, but serving the torque transmission nevertheless spatially movable connection between the Gear assemblies 15 and the roller elements 16 results. This makes it possible for a roller element 16 to pass through a thickening in the knitted fabric from the counter roll 12 sectorally can be lifted off, but with its rest Effective surface still bears against the counter roller 12 in order to initiate the pull-off force in the non-thickened area.

Wie sich aus Figur 3 ergibt, ist das starre Rohr 18 genau über der gedachten Längsachse der Warenabzugswalze 11 angeordnet und die beiden Walzen 11 und 12 liegen in einer horizontalen Ebene. An dem der Gegenwalze 12 abgewandten Umfangsbereich der Warenabzugswalze 11 ist unterhalb der horizontalen Mittelebene der beiden Walzen 11 und 12 an einem ortsfesten Nadelbettträger oder Maschinenständer 51 für jedes Walzenelement 16 eine Spannvorrichtung 52 befestigt, welche dazu dient, die Warenabzugswalze 11 jeweils im Walzenelementen-Verbindungsbereich gegen die starre Gegenwalze 12 federnd zu drücken. Die Spannvorrichtung 52 ist mit ihrem Gehäuse 56 ortsfest an einer Mittelschiene 57 gehalten, die am Maschinenständer o.dgl. ortsfest gehalten ist. In das Gehäuse 56 ragt eine Schraubspindel 53, deren von einem Drehknopf 58 in axialer Richtung bewegbares inneres Ende über eine Druckfeder 54 auf ein axial bewegbares Druckstück 59 drückt. Die Kraft der Druckfeder 54 wird über das Druckstück 59 auf einen Nocken 61 des Stützträgers 17 gebracht, der auf diese Weise zwei benachbarte Walzenelemente 16 der Abzugswalze 11 gegen die Gegenwalze 12 drückt. Die Schraubspindel 53 ist in ihrem inneren Bereich mit einem hier kreuzförmigen Anzeigeelement 62 verschiebefest verbunden, das mit seinen hier kreuzartig angeordneten Flügeln jeweils in einem Gehäuseschlitz 63 geführt ist. An umlaufenden Skalierungsringen 64 kann der Weg der Schraubspindel-Bewegung und somit die aufgebrachte Druckkraft auf den Stützträger 17 abgelesen werden. Eine für einen Strickartikel spezifische Anpresskraft kann bei einer weiteren Produktion zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt direkt mittels der Skalierung eingestellt werden. Der Stützträger 17 besitzt ferner oberhalb des Nockens 61 eine Nase 66, die einem Bereich der Winkelschiene 57 zugewandt ist und den Schwenkweg des Stützträgers 17 begrenzt, wenn die Anpresskraft am Nocken 61 anliegt und die Gegenwalze 12 weggeschwenkt ist.As can be seen from Figure 3, the rigid tube 18 is accurate over the imaginary longitudinal axis of the take-off roller 11 arranged and the two rollers 11 and 12 are in one horizontal plane. On the opposite of the counter roller 12 Circumferential area of the goods take-off roller 11 is below the horizontal center plane of the two rollers 11 and 12 a fixed needle bed support or machine stand 51 a clamping device 52 for each roller element 16 attached, which serves the goods take-off roller 11 each in the roller element connection area against the to press rigid counter-roller 12 resiliently. The Clamping device 52 is stationary with its housing 56 a middle rail 57 held on the machine stand or the like. is kept stationary. One protrudes into the housing 56 Screw spindle 53, whose by a knob 58 in the axial Movable inner end via a compression spring 54 presses on an axially movable pressure piece 59. The power the compression spring 54 is on the pressure piece 59 on a Cams 61 of the support beam 17 brought in this way two adjacent roller elements 16 of the take-off roller 11 against the counter roller 12 presses. The screw spindle 53 is in its inner area with a cruciform here Display element 62 non-displaceably connected, with its here cross-shaped wings each in one Housing slot 63 is guided. On circulating Scaling rings 64 can be the path of the screw movement and thus the pressure applied to the Support bracket 17 can be read. One for one Knitwear specific contact pressure can with a further production at a later point in time can be set using the scaling. The support beam 17 also has a nose 66 above the cam 61 which a region of the angle rail 57 faces and the Swivel path of the support beam 17 limited when the Contact pressure is applied to the cam 61 and the counter roller 12 is pivoted away.

An der der Nase 66 abgewandten und damit der Gegenwalze 12 zugewandten Seite des Nockens 61 besitzt der Stützträger 17 einen Vorsprung 67, der als Abweisfläche verhindert, dass sich ein Gestrickstück um die Abzugswalze 11 wickelt, wenn es durch elektrostatische Aufladung an der Abzugswalze 11 kleben sollte. Desweiteren besitzt der Stützträger 17 einen Abdecksteg 68, der gegenüber der Dicke des Stützträgers 17 relativ breit ist und auf der schmalen Umfangskante 69 des Stützträgers 17 in einem Bereich aufliegt und fest gehalten ist, der, wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, etwa von der senkrechten Längsmittelebene in Richtung zur Gegenwalze 12 zum Spalt 19 zweier benachbarter Walzenelemente 16 hin verläuft. Damit ist der Spalt 19 zwischen benachbarten Walzenelementen 16 abgedeckt, so dass keine losen Strickfäden aufgewickelt werden können.On the nose facing away from the nose 66 and thus the counter roller 12 facing side of the cam 61 has the support bracket 17th a protrusion 67 which, as a deflecting surface, prevents a knitted piece wraps around the take-off roller 11 when it by electrostatic charging on the take-off roller 11 should stick. Furthermore, the support bracket 17 has one Cover web 68, which is opposite the thickness of the support beam 17th is relatively wide and on the narrow peripheral edge 69 of the Support beam 17 rests in an area and held firmly is, as can be seen from Figure 3, approximately from the vertical longitudinal center plane in the direction of the counter roller 12 towards the gap 19 between two adjacent roller elements 16 runs. So that the gap 19 between adjacent Roller elements 16 covered so that no loose Knitting threads can be wound up.
