ABSTRACT:
The needle selection device includes a pair of vertically arranged needle selection units in advance of each yarn feeding and knitting station with one of the needle selection units being operable to select needles to knit and welt positions and the other of the selection units being operable to select needles to tuck and welt positions. The vertically arranged selection units correspond and cooperate with corresponding upper and lower selector jacks positioned beneath each knitting needle. The operation of the needle selection units is carried out along a single vertical selection line in advance of each knitting station. The vertical arrangement of the needle selection units and the selection along the single vertical line permits the knitting stations to be closely spaced adjacent to each other and permits a greater number of knitting stations to be positioned around the needle cylinder, thereby increasing the production rate of the knitting machine.
