Abstract (en)

[origin: US4700553A] The yarn tensioning device for flat knitting machines has for each yarn (20) to be processed a pivotable support (23), for yarn guide members (25-31), located in the region of an end of a needle bed, preferably outside a covering panel (16) of the machine. Each pivotable support 23 has on a projecting part (23b) a yarn clamp (35) which enters the covering panel (16) through an aperture (22) and constitutes an auxiliary member during threading of the yarn. The pivotable support (23) also carries the yarn take-up (31/32) and a number of adjustment and control members of the yarn tensioning device.
