Abstract

A fabric draw-off arrangement for flat knitting machines has a driven fabric draw-off member consisting of a plurality of roller elements and pressure rollers of a fabric pressure member associated with the roller elements which are mounted on a common rocker shaft and are adjustably and resiliently pressable against the respective roller element. In order during knitting to achieve automatically adjustable reproducibly uniform knitting draw-off, the pressure rollers are together pivotable by motor means into variable end positions and are pivotable from these positions and the pressure force of each pressure roller is individually adjustable by motor means.
