A cam carriage for flat-bed knitting machines has at least one leading and trailing draw-down element, having a drive top plate and a bottom plate with a draw-down track located at opposite sides of a cam plate in which a draw-down element is placed movably between an alignment position and several casting-off positions in a guide slot, and the driven top plate is rigidly connected with a drive element at least in the direction of the draw-down position. In such a cam carriage for flat-bed knitting machines, the draw-down elements of which provide a very high draw-down force on the one hand, and, on the other, react with sufficient resilience during the movement in the direction of the draw-down position, it has been provided that the top plate and the bottom plate, of the draw-down element are movable in relation to each other and are biased to take up a basic position such that a relative movement of the top and bottom plates can only be performed during a shifting movement of the top plate in the direction of one of the draw-down positions.
A cam carriage for flat-bed knitting machines having at least one leading and trailing draw-down element with atop plate rigidly connected with a drive element at least in a direction of several draw-down positions, a bottom plate including a draw-down track, and a cam plate including a guide slot for guiding the draw-down element in a reciprocal manner between an alignment position, wherein the top plate and the bottom plate are movable relative to each other in their longitudinal direction, and are biased to assume a basic position such that a relative movement of the top plate and the bottom plate can occur only during a shifting movement of the top plate in the direction of one of the draw-down positions.
