Abstract

The sinkers of both needle beds of a double bed flat knitting machine are pivotable so as to form a complete bridge over the gap between the needle beds. They have a loop-forming edge which is formed, with respect to the direction of take down for the knitted fabric, underneath the projections of the sinkers, which make up the bridge. Holding down of the old stitches in the gap between the needle beds is therefore ensured and a loop equalizing movement can be effected by means of the sinkers.
