A device for selectively feeding threads in knitting machines or the like, which comprises a set of fixed stripers ( ) arranged mutually side by side on the outer side of the needle bed or beds ( ) of the machine. Each striper ( ) has a passage ( ) for a thread ( ) to be fed to the needles ( ) of the machine, and an element ( ) for clamping and cutting the thread ( ) arriving from the corresponding striper ( ) is provided for each striper ( ). Each clamping and cutting element ( ) is movable from a standby position, in which it is laterally adjacent to the corresponding striper ( ) on the outer side of the needle bed ( ) of the machine and clamps the thread ( ) arriving from the corresponding striper ( ), to an active position, in which at least its region that engages the thread ( ) is arranged on the inner side of the needle bed ( ) of the machine in order to arrange the thread ( ) transversely to the needle bed ( ) of the machine and then release it, and vice versa, in order to clamp and cut the thread ( ) arriving from the corresponding striper ( ). First actuators are provided which comprise a programmable electronic controller ( ) for the individual actuation, according to a preset program, of each clamping and cutting element ( ) for its transfer from the standby position to the active position and vice versa.
