Abstract
A flat knitting machine has a bobbin carrier rotatably supporting yarn bobbins from which yarns are led off to a rotary carriage through a protective device in the form of a channel member or tube for each yarn, to reduce the effects of air resistance and material attraction between the yarns. Deflector pulleys can be provided to increase the lengths of yarn within the protective device and yarn breakage detectors can be positioned at the entries to and exits from the device.
