<p>The system of the invention allows changing the level of fineness of the fabric in a rectilinear knitting machine (100). The machine (100) includes a pair of needle beds (10, 20), each comprising a plurality of removable sinkers (11, 21), intercalated with corresponding needles (12, 22). In a machine configuration for fine fineness, an abutment stem (13, 23) of the transversal rows of stitches being formed is inserted into holes (14, 24) made in the head of each sinker (11, 21). To change the actual fineness level of the machine (100), and obtain an actual larger fineness, a row of additional holes (15, 25) is made in an inner position relative to the holes (14, 24) in the sinkers (11, 21) of each needle bed (10, 20). The stems (13, 23) are inserted in such additional holes (15, 25), and one sinker (11, 21) is removed out of each group of adjacent sinkers. Moreover, the needles (12, 22) corresponding to the removed sinkers are deactivated.</p> |
