Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2894245A1] [Problem to be solved] To provide a flatbed knitting machine equipped with sinker devices capable of ensuring an appropriate arrangement space without increasing a height even when a movable sinker biased by a spring is arranged with a fixed sinker in a space between knitting needles. [Solution] A movable sinker 10 and a fixed sinker 12 are arranged between knitting needles. A spring 13 biases the movable sinker 10 and a side surface thereof is supported by a leading end part 11d of a sinker jack 11. The movable sinker 10 is driven by the sinker jack 11 from a lateral side and a lower portion of a thin thickness part 7a provided on needle plate 7 is positioned at a vicinity of a bottom part of a needle groove for accommodating the knitting needle, thereby preventing the need of increasing the height of the sinker device. The sinker jack 11 is also used for pressing the movable sinker 10 from the side surface at the side of the needle groove so as to ensure an appropriate arrangement space.
