Abstract (en)

The flatbed knitter has at least one needle bed, and a lock slide (50) moving along the needle bed. At least one functional unit, and especially the yarn guide, also moves along the needle bed and it is powered through the drive (30) for the lock slide so that its movements are synchronized with the lock slide (50). The lock slide drive (30) has at least one driver (2) which is not linked to the lock slide (50), to engage a functional unit and synchronize its movements with the lock slide (50). At least one driver (2) rides in a rail (1), parallel to at least one needle bed, with a chain or belt (3) or cable transmission from the lock slide drive (30). The driver (2) is at a continuous chain or toothed belt (3), which passes around two deflection rollers (6,7). At least one deflection roller (6,7) is rotated by the motor shaft (30) of the lock slide drive. The synchronized movements of the driver (2) with the lock slide (50) ensure that its vertical center axis (55) coincides with the vertical center axis (55) of the knitting system lock of the slide (50). At least one driver (2) can be engaged with a number of functional units. The driver (2) has one or more controlled and adjustable slides (22) which, in the functioning position, engage limit surfaces of at least one functional unit.
