ABSTRACT:
During at least one complete rotation of the needle cylinder of a circular knitting machine, more than one yarn-carrying finger is kept activated at at least one of the machine's striping boxes. Each striping box includes an indexed control drum having axial slots which receive finger-activating jacks. An annular holding spring extends circumferentially of the control drum midway between the drum's axial ends and very tightly holds the axial legs of L-shaped jacks. To simultaneously activate yarn fingers located at opposite axial sides of the holding spring, at least one axial holding slot contains two L-shaped jacks. The axial legs of the two jacks are held in conventional manner beneath the spring, but are each of half-normal thickness, so that their combined thickness equals that of the holding slot for a snug fit therein. The radial legs of the jacks are of full thickness, beginning at a point radially inward of the slot, so that the radial legs are firmly held at the radially outermost portion of the holding slot.
