DEFINITION

Classification: 66/216

Having butt selection means:

(under subclass 215) Subject matter wherein the knitting machine is provided with a plurality of butts dependent from needles or other elements in a bed and further provided with means designed to select and cause motion relative to the bed of either: (a) one of the butts or (b) a needle or other element either of which is associated with and capable of causing one of the butts thereon to engage additional means for further moving the butt relative to the bed at the location wherein the special stitch is desired in a selected wale.

(1) Note. The term "butt" refers to the projection or projectionlike structure on a needle jack, sinker, or other element residing in a knitting machine supporting structure.

(2) Note. The selection means may also cause the formation of a special stitch by selectively not imparting motion to a butt, needle, or other element.
