Abstract: A device (3) for guiding a thread or the like is described, which includes a holding element (4), a thread roll (5) rotatably disposed on the holding element (4) to form a bearing gap (12), and a protective shield (14), which covers the bearing gap (12) at at least one axial end. According to the invention, the protective shield (34) is non-rotatably connected to the holding element (4).

Abstract: A knitting machine is described, which includes at least one carrier provided with knitting tools (2, 3), a cam mechanism with at least one knitting point (71) for moving selected knitting tools (2, 3) into a yarn pick-up position and a striping attachment for feeding selected yarns to the knitting tools (2, 3) brought into the yarn pick-up position. According to the invention, the striping attachment has at least one first and one second yarn changing device (73, 74) such that yarns (78, 79) fed optionally by the first or the second yarn changing device (73, 74) may be laid into the knitting tools (2, 3) brought into the yarn pick-up position at the knitting point (71) (FIG. 12).

Abstract: A circular knitting machine is described which has a needle cylinder (1), at least one cylinder cam segment (6), a dial arrangement (9) having a dial (10) and at least one dial cam segment (11), an axis of rotation (7), which is coaxial with the needle cylinder (1) and the dial arrangement (10), and at least one thread guide element (25) intended to guide a thread (20). The cylinder cam segment (6) together with the thread guide element (25), and the dial cam segment (11) are rotatable about the rotational axis (7) relative to one another. The needle cylinder (1), and the dial arrangement (9) together with the thread guide (25) are moreover disposed displaceable relative to one another and parallel to the rotational axis (7). According to the invention, the thread guide element (25) is mounted moveable on the cylinder cam segment (6) (FIG. 2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a circular knitting machine with a protective cover (17) at least partially surrounding a take down and/or winding up device (15) on the outside. The cover (17) which includes a guide fixed on the machine frame and segments (18 to 23) movably mounted on this. In accordance with the invention the segments (18 to 23) are so arranged at different radial distances from a machine axis (11) that they are movable relative to one another at least partially with mutual overlapping.
