ABSTRACT:
A support device is provided for an elongated rotatable needle cylinder of a circular knitting machine having vertically located stitch cams where the cylinder has an upper end which supports an array of sinkers and a lower end. The support device includes a rotatable base portion located a predetermined vertical distance below the stitch cams. A plurality of rods extends from the base portion upwardly along the interior of the cylinder and terminates at an upper portion of the support device. The upper portion is secured to the upper end of the cylinder so that the lower end of the cylinder is free to move vertically with respect to the stitch cams when the cylinder expands and contracts during knitting.
