Abstract (en)

A circular knitting machine with a fine gauge includes a circular cylinder (10) and a sinker holder (20) annularly located on an outer side of the circular cylinder (10). The circular cylinder (10) has a plurality of knitting needles (12) parallel with the axial direction (A) of the circular cylinder (10) to move alternately, and an annular top surface (13) corresponding to the knitting needles (12). The sinker holder (20) has a plurality of retaining slots (21) to hold a plurality of sinkers (22). Each sinker (22) has a slide edge (221), a movement edge (222) extended from the slide edge (221) at the same elevation to the annular top surface (13) and located above the annular top surface (13), and a loop forming nose (223) located between two neighboring knitting needles (12). Each retaining slot (21) has a leaning surface (211) in contact with the slide edge (221) to allow the sinker (22) to move towards the annular top surface (13) to proceed a loop forming movement.
