Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2423363A1] There is provided a flatbed knitting machine provided with movable sinkers that can reliably prevent a knitting yarn from dropping into a space between the movable sinker and a sinker groove even though a front end of a needle bed is formed to be a top tooth. A movable sinker (14) is provided with a elongated hole (14b) so as to be capable of rocking displacement in a state where a leading end of a yarn drop preventing portion (15b) extended from a yarn guide spacer (15) inserted into the elongated hole. The yarn drop preventing portion (15b) covers a space produced between a sinker groove (2c) and the movable sinker (14) on a side where the movable sinker (14) is disposed next to a knitting needle (3), so that it is possible to reliably prevent a knitting yarn from dropping. The yarn guide spacer (15) is formed of a metal plate-shaped material, and the yarn drop preventing portion (15b) is formed on the leading end side of an extended portion (15c) extended to cross the bottom part of a needle groove (2a).
