Abstract
A flat knitting machine for the production of knitted pieces with intarsia comprises a yarn guide with a yarn guide sheave mounted to be vertically displaceable on a yarn guide box, and a slider on the yarn guide box and which is displaceable horizontally and is arranged to displace the yarn guide vertically. In order to be able to lay the yarns on the one hand correctly at the first needle around and in the needle hook and on the other hand to be able to lay the yarns on the last needle of a pattern field in a correct platting position, the yarn guide comprises an entraining pin engaging in an elongate curved slot in the slider, and the elongate curved slot is formed in such a way that with a movement of the slider relative to the yarn guide box from one lateral end position to the other lateral end position the yarn guide sheave is lowered from its uppermost rest position to a lowermost loop position, is raised to a yarn-laying position, is lowered into a platting position and is raised to the rest position.
