Flat knitting machine

摘要

In a flat knitting machine with a front and a rear needle bed, a more reliable mode of operation with fewer needle or needle-butt fractures is obtained, particularly in association with modern high-speed machines, if the front and the rear needle bed (1) are each connected rigidly to the machine frame (4) at only one point. When the needle bed (1) experiences heating, it can therefore expand, so that an upsetting or a corrugation of the needle bed, which causes needle fractures, cannot occur. <IMAGE>
