Abstract
There are disclosed improvements in flat knitting machines incorporating a plurality of carriages which respectively adjust the forward and backward movement of knitting needles mounted on respective needle beds, a pair of yarn guide rails which are respectively secured above and in the longitudinal direction of respective needle beds, and a plurality of yarn feeders which respectively feed yarns to knitting needles in association with those yarn guide rails while the carriages run themselves. The improvements comprise novel apparatus for arranging the yarn feeding apertures of the yarn feeders by lowering same to a predetermined position while controlling the shifting movement and stopping operation of the yarn feeders.
