Abstract

On a stitch-forming machine having knitting needles, knocking-over sinkers and controlling sinkers, in addition to their mutual articulated connection, the knocking-over and controlling sinkers are also connected to each other for mutual longitudinal displacement. Contiguous sliding surfaces are provided on the sinkers so as to slide on one another and bring about tilting motion of the knocking-over sinkers during mutual longitudinal displacement of the sinkers. Return parts are also provided for returning the tilted knocking-over sinkers to their initial position.
