Abstract

A flat-bed knitting machine having a spool table disposed above the needle bed and carriage apparatus, preferably in a rear area of the machine, and on which there are a plurality of yarn spool holders is described. In order to make the spool table of such flat-bed knitting machines useable for other purposes, and also making the spool table easier to handle during assembly, the invention provides that the spool table comprises a plurality of interconnected extruded aluminum profile elements, which have integrated securing means on the surface for subsequently detachably securing yarn spool holders, and that the profile elements are provided on their lower portion with guide recesses, extending in the longitudinal extension of the spool table, for a protective cover and for an operating panel along with its control cables as well as for a trailing cable device.
