Abstract
A shift device for the needle bed of a straight knitting machine comprises an indexing disc having a periphery movable substantially at right angles to the intended direction of shift of the needle bed and stoppable in selected positions. A plurality of eccentric indexing boss means adjustably mounted on the disc periphery for eccentric displacement about spindles extending radially of the disc, and a guide channel is securable to the needle bed oriented in the direction of the disc periphery. The width of the guide channel substantially corresponds to the diameter of each eccentric boss means and the eccentric boss means engage in the guide channel for establishing a predetermined shift of the guide channel substantially at right angles to the peripheral movement of the disc in accordance with the eccentricity of the boss means.
