Abstract
A circular knitting machine for the production of knit goods with combed-in fibers, has a rotating needle cylinder in which needles having hooks for receiving fibers are mounted, at least one carding device having a feed apparatus for feeding a fiber strand, a separating apparatus for separating the fiber strand into a stream of individual fibers, and a combing-in zone through which the needles pass, and wherein the fibers are carried within the fiber stream for the purpose of contactlessly combing-in the fibers into the hooks of the needles. Guides are provided ahead of the combing-in zone for the purpose of dividing the fiber stream into partial fiber streams, thus considerably reducing or varying the percentage of fibers which are bound across several neighboring loops by several neighboring needles.
