Abstract
The machine comprises a knitting head (2), a camholder carriage (3) and several striping bars (7), on which thread guides (6, 6a) are mounted between two movable stop blocks (9, 9a) and are equipped with a thread catcher (21, 21a) and driven by fingers (25, 25a). Auxiliary drive means (11) for the stop blocks and a mechanism for attaching the thread guides automatically to the stop blocks, detachable by means of the drive finger (25), make it possible at any moment to shift the thread guides together with one of these stop blocks independently of the movement of the carriage, thus making it possible to move away the thread catcher when it stops knitting, in the production of INTARSIA knitted fabrics.
