ABSTRACT:
Electrically actuated jack selectors for a knitting machine which are normally positioned out of engagement with the needle jacks or pattern jacks of the knitting machine. When each of the jack selectors is actuated, either by a perforated tape loop or by a drum, the jack selector is deflected into a position along the path of an associated needle jack or pattern jack and, upon engagement therewith, displaces the associated jack relative to the cylinder so that, depending upon the direction of deflection of the jack selector, either the needle jack or the pattern jack will not be raised by the cylinder cam. Each jack selector includes a knife edge cam portion that is engaged by a conically shaped tip on the movable armature of a solenoid that is associated therewith. A comb-like element may be used to initially position a group of the jack selectors in order to predetermine the direction of deflection thereof. The teeth of the comb-like element, between which the jack selectors are positioned, also limit the angular deflection of the jack selectors.
