Abstract
A feeder for a knitting machine includes a feeder arm with a dispensing area configured to feed a strand toward a knitting bed of the knitting machine. Moreover, the feeder includes an actuation arm that is operably coupled to the feeder arm. The actuation arm includes an abutment surface that is configured to abut against a drive bolt of the knitting machine to selectively move the feeder arm relative to the knitting bed. The abutment surface is rounded and convex.
