Abstract
The cam arrangement for a knitting machine has a first support in the form of a cam support (11) and at least one second support in the form of a segment (14) and at least one cam part (16) mounted on the segment. For rapid fixing of the segment on the cam support there serves a fixing device (31), which includes a first claw (32) associated with the cam support and a tightening device associated with the segment (14). In accordance with the invention the tightening device consists of a coupling pin (36) with a threaded section (37), a second claw (33) fitted thereon and cooperating with the first claw (32) and a tightening element (38) screw-connected with the threaded section (37) and mounted rotatably on the associated segment (14) (FIG. 2).

Cam arrangement for a knitting machine, especially a circular knitting machine, comprising:
- a first support in the form of a cam support, said cam support having a flat surface (40), a first abutment surface (41) perpendicular thereto and a centering pin (42) projecting from the flat surface (40);
- at least one second support in the form of a segment (14), said second support having a bearing surface (43) cooperating with the flat surface (40), a second abutment surface (44) cooperating with the first abutment surface (41) and a recess (45) receiving the centering pin (42);
- at least one cam part (16) mounted on the segment and at least one fixing device (31) for interchangeable fixing both supports (11, 14) on each other, said fixing device (310) including a first claw (32) associated with one of said supports and tightening means associated with the other one of said supports, said tightening means including a coupling pin (36) associate with the other support and having a second claw (33) cooperating with the first claw (32) and a threaded section (37), said tightening means also including a tightening element (38) screwed together with the threaded section (37) and rotatably mounted on the support to which the coupling pin (36) is associated.
In a cam arrangement for a knitting machine, especially a circular knitting machine, said knitting machine having one support (11) in the form of a cam support, at least one other support (14) in the form of a segment, at least one cam part mounted on the segment and at least one fixing device (31) for interchangeable fixing of the one support on the other supports, the fixing device (31) including a first claw associated with the one support (11) and a tightening means including a coupling pin (36) associated with the other support (14), the coupling pin (36) having a second claw (33) cooperating with the first claw (32) and a threaded section (37) and the tightening means also includes a tightening element (38) screwed together with the threaded section (37) and rotatably mounted in the associated other support (14), the first claw (32) being fixed on a mounting pin (34) fixedly mounted in the other support (11), the mounting pin (34) being mounted in the one support (11) and the coupling pin (36) being mounted on the other support (14). the one support (11) having a flat surface (40), a first abutment surface (41) perpendicular thereto and centring pin (42) projecting from the flat surface (40), and the other support (14) having a bearing surface (43) cooperating with the flat surface (40), a second abutment surface (44), cooperating with the first abutment surface (41) and recess (45) receiving the centring pin (42).
