Abstract
A flat knitting machine, particularly one electronically operated and controlled and having two needle beds (17, 18), is provided with knitting assemblies (19-22) having cam parts for needle control, while the needle beds (17, 18) are mounted on the machine frame for reciprocating movement past the knitting assemblies. These can be coupled to a flat knitting machine which is provided with needle bed driving means, further flat knitting machines without an intrinsic drive, the needle beds of the latter being rigidly connected with the driven needle beds (17, 18) of the driven flat knitting machine (A). The flat knitting machine may be provided with a mechanism for adjusting the width of the comb gap and for each knitting assembly (19-21) with a special takedown mechanism (78-81) and with a thread change device (97-108).
