Abstract
A sinker of circular knitting machines for pile fabrics, which is used in the circular knitting machine assembly has an aslant contact surface between a sinker cylinder and a cam. By the aslant surface disposed on a nose section of the sinker, the bottom yarn can fall accordingly and constitutes a perfect plating loop effect with the binding yarn. Further a first end surface of a throat section and the second end surface of an abdominal section are designed with different inclined angles to cope with the movement of a sinker cylinder of a circular knitting machine having an aslant surface. Therefore, the knitting needle and the sinker on the circular knitting machine can maintain a smooth knitting movement.
