Abstract (en)

A sinker control apparatus (30) for flat knitting machines located on a transverse board (12) over a plurality of knitting needles (21) to drive parallel sinkers (22) hinged between the knitting needles (21) to rotate. The sinker control apparatus (30) includes a base (31), a linked movement portion (32) located on the base (31) to perform driving movements, a first control cam (33) and a second control cam (34) hinged on the linked movement portion (32), and a switching portion (35) coupled with the linked movement portion (32). The switching portion (32) includes at least one connection rod (351) connecting to the linked movement portion (32), a switching seat (352) coupled on the connection rod (351) and an elastic element (40) coupled around the connection rod (351) to provide a butting force to the switching seat (352) towards the transverse board (12). The switching seat (352) has a magnetic attracting portion (50) at one side facing the transverse board (12) to attract the transverse board (12) magnetically.
