Abstract (en)

To provide a needle selecting system of a flat knitting machine capable of stably selecting a needle compared to prior art. A needle selecting system 1 including a selector 4 configuring one part of a knitting needle 200, and a needle selecting device 2 arranged in a carriage 300 that reciprocates in a longitudinal direction of a needle bed 100 is provided. The selector 4 includes an armature 43 and an elastic leg piece 44 extending towards a tail end side opposite to a needle bed gap side. The needle selecting device 2 includes a needle selecting actuator 10 and an interrupt cam 20. The interrupt cam 20 is arranged bulging out at a position facing the needle selecting actuator 10, and cuts in between the armature 43 and the elastic leg piece 44 of the selector 4 to spread the spacing between the armature 43 and the elastic leg piece 44 when the carriage 300 travels on the needle bed 100. As a result, the selector 4 is supported by the carriage 300 in which the interrupt cam 20 is arranged.
