Abstract
Knitting machine having two needle beds in which loop-forming knitting needles are mounted for extension and retraction, having disk cams disposed on a revolving drive shaft with an angular offset for the purpose of lifting the knitting needles, and having a patterning apparatus for engaging and disengaging the knitting needles and the cams according to the pattern, such that only engaged knitting needles can be raised by the disk cams, a transfer device being provided, which is intended for the transfer of loops formed on knitting needles of at least one needle bed to associated knitting needles of the other needle bed. This transfer device can control the coupling produced by means of the patterning apparatus between the disk cams and the knitting needles such that the knitting needles can be extended selectively by the disk cams into a knit position or into a transfer position (FIG. 1).
