ABSTRACT:
A fabric holding-down sinker for a double knit machine to stop the knitted fabric from being lifted during the raising stitch of the cylinder needles. A series of such presser sinkers are reciprocated radially relative to the cylinder needles, each presser sinker having a projecting sinker head horizontally disposed at a front end. The projecting sinker head is moved to a front limit position spaced above a topmost edge of a fabric formation surface of the knitting machine at a distance equal to the thickness of the fabric being knitted during the raising stitch of the respective cylinder needle, preventing the knitted fabric from being lifted by the cylinder needles.
