Abstract
The machine comprises a plurality of selectors which are slideably accommodated in the grooves of the lower needle-bearing cylinder and act each with its upper end on a transfer sinker, or slider, for moving the matching needle. The machine has the peculiarity that in a same groove of the lower needle-bearing cylinder is accommodated, proximate to the upper end of the selector, a pusher element, controllably engageable with the lower end of the matching transfer sinker. The pusher element has the possibility of being operated independently from the selector accommodted in the same groove, since it is provided with a heel which is engageable in suitably defined tracks on the skirt of the cams of the lower needle-bearing cylinder.
