The invention particularly relates to an improved knitting machine to produce figured fabrics. The knitting machine has high working capacity and is capable of producing various patterned and colored fabrics. This improved knitting machine comprising rods suitable to support tubular weft yarn guides disposed side by side on plates parallel to the needle bar and transversely to the needle plane, the plates being movable along their own plane and parallelly to the needle bar in order to define the working oscillations of the rods, and characterized in that the rods are rotatably supported by pivot pins that are fixedly engaged with the plates, the pivot pins protruding at right angles from the same plates, in that it is provided with stop members for the rods designed to allow the same to oscillate symmetrically with respect to vertical planes and to cause the maximal linear amplitude of the tubular weft yarn guides which corresponds to the double distance of two needles in succession, and in that selection and control members are provided which include a plurality of kinematic chains suitable to position each of the rods angularly and independently of the adjacent rods. |
