ABSTRACT:
A knitting machine includes a needle bed having a groove formed therein, a needle housed in the groove and reciprocatingly slidable therein, a needle cam, a needle cam follower mounted on the needle and engageable with the needle cam, a needle stitch selector and a needle cam disengager responsive to the stitch selector for controllably disengaging the needle cam follower from the needle cam. The stitch selector includes an electromagnetic selection station and at least one selector member which is slidably mounted on the needle bed. The selector member is responsive to the selection station and positioned thereby in one of at least two distinct positions in respect to the needle bed. The needle cam disengager includes a two-arm lever which is pivotally mounted on the bed. The first arm of the lever cooperates with the selector member and its second arm is in communication with the needle cam follower via the needle and acts operatively thereon to disengage the needle cam follower from the needle cam. The needle cam disengager also includes a tuck selector, a tuck selector first cam, and a tuck selector cam follower mounted on the tuck selector which engages the tuck selector first cam when the lever is in a selected position. The needle cam disengager further includes a tuck selector second cam positioned to engage the tuck selector and which, upon engagement with the tuck selector, causes the second arm of the lever via the tuck selector to disengage the needle cam follower.
