Abstract

A hood movable in the direction in which pinching of the operator's hand would occur extends across the stationary part and between the stationary part and the movable part of a straight knitting machine such that a machine stopping mechanism can be triggered by movement of the hood by impact of the hood by the operator's hand to insure stopping of the machine prior to the machine movable part reaching the stationary part covered by the hood.
