Abstract
This invention relates to a knitted fabric spreader device for flat knitting machines which have spiked rotatable rollers (14) disposed beneath the comb gap (12) of the needle beds of the machine. The spiked rollers (14) are mounted over the full length of the needle beds (10, 11) on a common carrier rod (13) concentric with this rod, and the common carrier rod (13) can be moved transversely to the longitudinal direction of the needle beds to provide for clearance of the comb gap (12) of the machine. To cater for this adjustment the carrier rod (13) is held on at least slides adjustable by means of a control cam (27). The rollers (14) are so mounted between eccentric intermediate discs (15) provided with a smooth peripheral edge that spikes (38) of the rollers (14) project radially above the intermediate discs (15) over a part only of the carrier rod (13) to engage the knitted fabric (29) (FIG. 2).
