    摘要: An end yarn processing device capable of cutting an end yarn near a knitted fabric is provided. An end yarn processing device (1) movable along a longitudinal direction of a needle bed (110) of a flat knitting machine (100) includes a catcher (30) that holds an end yarn extending from a gripper device (150) provided at least at an end of the needle bed (110) to a knitting start stitch of a knitted fabric (K) above a needle bed gap (S) of the needle bed (110), and a cutter (60) that cuts the end yarn held above the needle bed gap (S) between a position adjacent to the catcher (30) and the stitch.

    摘要: There is provided a cleaning apparatus for a needle bed of compound needles that is capable of reliably and efficiently clean a needle bed of a flatbed knitting needle machine equipped with compound needles.
    A needle bed 2, removed from a flatbed knitting machine and attached to a cleaning bath 3 of a cleaning apparatus for needle bed 1, is cleaned with a liquid such as a cleaning liquid or water sprayed from a nozzle 4. The nozzle 4 is attached to a head 5 that is movable along the surface of the needle bed 2. The compound needles are accommodated in needle grooves of the needle bed 2. While holding positions of sliders, spraying the liquid from the nozzle 4 onto butts for driving needle bodies to move the needle bodies with respect to needle grooves makes it possible to clean the needle bed 2 reliably and efficiently, switching relative positions of the needle bodies and the sliders.
