Abstract
A hand knitting machine having a single or double needle bed is provided with a device for selecting needles. This device includes an electromagnetic means located on a movable carriage which is electrically and mechanically connected to a program matrix by an endless metallic ribbon tensioned between two rollers over the width of the needle bed. The selected needles are controlled by an assembly of fixed and movable cams, the active and inactive positions of the latter being determined by a knob and lever assembly.
