ABSTRACT:
In order to produce an inlay-type pattern on a flat-bed knitting machine, a plurality of thread guides carrying differently colored threads are mounted on respective slides which are movably supported, in pairs, on horizontal guide bars above a needle bed. Each slide coacts with a pair of adjustable stops limiting its reciprocation along the guide bar, another slide taking over the thread feed at the point where a previously active slide is arrested. In order to prevent the thread of the first slide from being engaged by the needles simultaneously with the thread of the second slide, the thread guide of the first slide is swung back from a leading to a trailing position upon reaching the end of its run in one or the other direction; this repositioning of the thread guide is accomplished by a pair of feelers contacting the associated stops. The position of each stop can be changed with the aid of a rack, slidable along the corresponding guide bar, which can be displaced after each machine cycle by a limited number of needle positions according to the pattern to be knitted.
