Abstract: A wing cam guide for knitting machine locks and, in particular, those used for knitting machines having arcuate needles, needle beds and needle guides, includes a wing cam mounted on a pivot axis.

Abstract: A needle bed for flat knitting machines is provided wherein the needle bed is assembled from a plurality of firmly compressed, plate-like webs arranged in a regularly alternating manner so that webs having the smaller height and forming the base of the needle bed grooves, alternate with plates having a greater height and forming the needle bed web surfaces. The plurality of webs are pressed together with the aid of tightening means to form a solid pack. The pack is inserted, with the aid of at least one longitudinal mounting groove, into a trough shaped sheet steel section which extends in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed. The pack and section are firmly clamped together and the cavities between the webs and the steel sheet section are filled with a synthetic resin based metal glue.

Abstract: A needle and needle bed assembly for flat and circular knitting machines for making right-right and left-left knitted articles, includes at least one horizontally-disposed needle bed having a generally concavely-shaped upper surface which has formed therein a plurality of transversely-extending, generally arcuately-shaped grooves, and a plurality of generally arcuately-shaped needles, each of which is slidably supported within one of the grooves of the bed for movement between a push-out position and a drawing-in position, in which positions one end of the needles extends beyond a lateral edge of the bed. The needles are guided in the grooves such that the angle defined between the ends of the needles, as measured by the tangent thereto, and the vertical axis of the bed, decreases as the needles are moved from the drawing-in position to the push-out position.
