Abstract
A loop hold-down device for a flat bed knitting machine incorporates a carrier member attachable to the needle actuating carriage of the machine, two spaced parallel rods rotatable about their axes and also reciprocable in the carrier member in a direction which is vertical when the carrier member is attached to said movable carriage and a loop hold-down element attached to and projecting from the lowermost end of each rod. Each rod is slidable in a sleeve which is itself rotatable but restrained against reciprocation in the carrier member, each rod being entrained by the sleeve to rotate therewith. A driving band interconnects the two sleeves whereby to cause both sleeves to rotate together, two sliding blocks are slidable vertically in the carrier member, each block engaging a respective rod and each formed with a cam follower engageable with a cam surface located at each end of the ned of the knitting machine whereupon each cam follower causes the associated rod to reciprocate in the sleeve. An actuating bar is connected to the driving band and is engageable alternately with an abutment located at each end of the knitting machine as the carriage moves to and fro so that the bar is also movable to and fro in the carrier member, moving with it the driving band.
