ABSTRACT:
This device relates to a circular knitting machine in which the inactivation or activation of a vertical jack standing below each needle is controlled by a horizontal jack. The horizontal jack is located in a radial position relative to a cylinder within a ring structure. This ring structure surrounds and is rigid with the machine cylinder. It contains, in a number equal to the number of needles, radial grooves. The horizontal jacks slide radially in the grooves as well as horizontally. They are selected by electromagnetic retention devices with which each jack is provided and which are mounted on the ring structure. When the devices are energized, they retain the horizontal jacks in their outer position to activate the corresponding needles. When they are not energized, the electromagnetic devices allow the horizontal jacks to return to their inner position by a thrust spring, to leave the corresponding needles in a rest postion.
