Abstract: The cam arrangement for a knitting machine has a first support in the form of a cam support (11) and at least one second support in the form of a segment (14) and at least one cam part (16) mounted on the segment. For rapid fixing of the segment on the cam support there serves a fixing device (31), which includes a first claw (32) associated with the cam support and a tightening device associated with the segment (14). In accordance with the invention the tightening device consists of a coupling pin (36) with a threaded section (37), a second claw (33) fitted thereon and cooperating with the first claw (32) and a tightening element (38) screw-connected with the threaded section (37) and mounted rotatably on the associated segment (14) (FIG. 2).

Abstract: A knitting machine has at least one bed with a plurality of lands forming tricks for supporting knitting implements, and a cam arrangement for controlling the knitting implements and including a cam plate, at least one carrier mounted to the cam plate at a fixed spacing from the bed, at least one cam portion and a mounting element for non-rotatably mounting the cam portion to the carrier. The mounting element is disposed on the carrier and consists of a sliding guide for loosely and displaceably mounting to cam portion to the carrier with a sliding fit and without the use of fixing element.
