Abstract

In a device for setting the adjustable traverse of a plurality of yarn feeders of a flat knitting machine, the yarn feeder limit stops (19) associated with each yarn feeder slide (15) are preferably formed as signal generators and are arranged to be longitudinally slidable on separate guide tracks of the yarn feeder rails (10-13) so that the yarn feeder slides (15) can overlap the associated yarn feeder limit stops (19). The yarn feeder limit stops (19) effect a switching procedure for the coupling devices (28) located on the cam carriage (14) which effect the movement of the yarn feeder slides (15).
