Abstract
A flat-bed knitting machine is described which has a carriage apparatus movable along a needle bed apparatus, a front machine frame on which the needle bed apparatus is held and which includes at least one projecting part, and on each end a plurality of yarn eyes for supplying yarn to the needle bed apparatus. To make it possible to perform servicing and/or repair work on the underside, that is, in the cam area of the carriage apparatus without major effort or long stoppages, a protective cover receiving the plurality of yarn eyes is provided on one end of the needle bed apparatus, and this cover, when the machine is not in operation, is movable, along with the carriage apparatus contacting it on one side, by a predetermined displacement distance into an outer position in which the carriage apparatus is located partly on a projecting part of the front machine frame on the far side of the needle bed apparatus and there is freely accessible from below.
