SINKER FOR KNITTING MACHINE OPERATED BY RELATIVE TECHNIQUE AND KNITTING MACHINE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A sinker for a knitting machine operating according to the relative technique is provided. The sinker makes it unnecessary to control the clearance in a bearing on the sinker and does not generate desired vibration and noise despite an unavoidable manufacturing allowance. CONSTITUTION: The sinker contains a front(32), a back(33), a head(34) arranged on one end and having a sinker throat(35) and a knock-over edge(36), a control butt(38) intended to make movements possible in a longitudinal direction(v) and protruding from the front, and at least one rocking element(39,40) designed to make possible pivot movements transverse to the longitudinal direction and provided on the front. The sinker also has a spring element(41) intended to compensate manufacturing inaccuracies.
