<p>To provide a flatbed knitting machine having a movable sinker that can produce a sufficient pressing force in the closed state with a simple structure. A movable sinker 50 includes a sinker 51, a sinker jack 52 and a wire spring 53. The wire spring 53 is supported in abutment with a front end portion 52a of the sinker jack 52. On condition that no load is applied to the yarn receiving portion 51d, whether in the opened state of the sinker or in the closed state, the wire spring 53 thrusts the front end portion 52a of the sinker jack 52 from the front side closer to the needle bed gap 2 and also thrusts the front end portion 52a from the back side as well in a sandwiching manner. Even when the sinker 51 increases in stroke in the closed state, the knitted fabric in the needle bed gap 2 can be pressed down by a pressing force nearly equal to that in the opened state.</p> |
