Abstract
In the flat knitting machine with a needle selection device, the needles (12) are selected at double selection points and the non-selected needles (12) are locked by means of a locking jack (25) and the control butt (22) of their needle jack (19) is removed from the cam tracks. Force is transmitted to the needle (12) at a special coupling position (23/24) from the control butt (22) of the needle jack (19) articulated to the needle (12), and to increase the control possibilities without provision of additional cam tracks, presser cam elements (57-59), which act on the depressor butts (26) of the locking jacks (25) can be displaced in the plane of the cams. (FIG. 1).
