Abstract
In a flat knitting machine having a needle selector device and selector jacks (50), which can be acted on by press cam parts, and needles (42) with a butt (47) which can be disconnected from the cam parts, there are arranged, in the direction of movement of the machine at each side of each needle selection locality (21) of the needle selector device, a cam part (23, 24). Both cam parts (23, 24) serve to move selected selector jacks (50) longitudinally and to effect a longitudinal movement into different positions (O, I, II) of the selector jacks. Furthermore, each knitting system is provided, for both directions of movement, each with a pair of adjustable draw-off cam parts (15, 17) of different draw-off length, the one of which parts acts on a fixed butt (44) of the needles (42) and the other on the butt (47) which can be disconnected by means of the selector jack (50).
