Abstract (en)

[origin: US4644763A] In a knitting machine, electromagnetically controlled selector stations cooperate with sliding devices to enable them to assume two different positions. The sliding devices act in pairs on each needle of the knitting machine, and fixed vertical cams act on so-called two-arm levers to release them after selection, with the two-arm levers being retained or not by the sliding devices. Provision is made so that the two-arm levers can be oriented in four different positions. Each pair of sliding devices is composed of a first lower selector and a juxtaposed second lower selector, each of which can be moved into two different positions so as to produce the different four positions of the two-arm levers, in this way the needles may be controlled individually into tucking, out-of-action, standard knitting, and lengthened stitch knitting positions.
