Abstract
A thread feeding device for knitting machines having a rotor on which a thread feeding element is mounted which is divided into a thread lead-in ring section, a thread reserve section and a lead-out section. To enable the thread feeding device to be operated selectively with a plain continuous reserve section or one formed by rods, a rod cage consisting of a premanufactured component is provided, which can be fastened coaxially on the rotor. The cage has a lead-in ring bearing the lead-in ring section, and a plurality of rods forming the reserve section, each rod being fastened at one end to the lead-in ring. The other ends of the rods are either fastened to a mounting which can be joined to the rotor and is part of the component, or they are held directly on the rotor and thus radially centered about the axis of rotation.
