Abstract: A machine for the production of knitted goods includes a plurality of stitch-forming elements, at least one stitch-forming location, an associated spinning device at the at least one stitch-forming location, at which a sliver (FB) or a yarn is produced from a roving yarn (VG) and the sliver (FB) or yarn is fed to the stitch-forming elements. The spinning device has separate drive devices, which can be actuated in a manner that enables the spinning device to produce a sliver (FB) or a yarn of variable thickness from roving yarn (VG) and which can be fed to the stitch-forming elements.

Abstract: A circular knitting machine with a needle cylinder (11), in which cylinder needles (13) are mounted to be longitudinally displaceable, and a dial (12), in which rib dial needles (14) are mounted to be radially displaceable, wherein auxiliary elements (15), in particular sinkers, associated with the cylinder needles (13) and auxiliary elements (16), in particular sinkers, associated with the rib dial needles (14), as well as separate thread feeds to the cylinder needles (13) and to the rib dial needles (16) are provided, wherein separate tubular knits (19, 20) can be produced simultaneously or one after the other with the cylinder needles (13) and with the rib dial needles (14).

Abstract: A cam for a circular knitting machine has at least one cam groove formed in a cam surface to receive and guide a foot of a stitch-forming tool with which the cam is intended to operate. Additional recesses are formed in the cam surface to reduce the striking surface between the cam surface and a shank of the stitch-forming tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circular knitting machine with a replaceable needle cylinder (7). According to the invention, two or more eccentrics (19) are disposed to be rotatable in a support ring (3) for the needle cylinder (7) or in the needle cylinder itself, and serve the purpose of lifting the needle cylinder (7) out of a normal operating position into a mounting position enabling it to be pulled out laterally, in which an underside of said needle cylinder (7) is arranged at least to be flush with an upper edge of attachments (9) attached to the support ring (3) or elsewhere (FIG. 2).
