CARRIAGE MECHANISM OF A HAND KNITTING APPARATUS

摘要

A carriage slidably supported on hand knitting apparatus to impart a required reciprocating motion to a number of needles arranged on the needle bed in equally spaced and parallel relation to each other. The carriage may produce a higher lift of the knitting cams or lifter cams in the skip stitch mode for the needle butts than is produced in the other knitting mode by using unused space assigned to the other path used in the other knitting mode so that getting behind the latches may be ensured as to the loops lying on the needles other than that on which lies the skip stitch loop or loops.
