ABSTRACT:
A knitted fabric presser unit includes pressers corresponding to respective reciprocal directions and installed in a carriage. A first presser presses a knitted fabric when the carriage is being moved in a first knitting direction, during which a second presser is in a rest position. The first presser moves in conjunction with displacement in one direction of a sliding plate due to a follower engaged with a grooved cam. Similarly, the second presser moves in conjunction with displacement in another direction of the sliding plate due to a follower engaged with a grooved cam. Displacement of the sliding plate is caused by a rack engaged with a pinion fixed at a rotation axis of a motor. Movement traces of the first presser and the second presser are determined so that the two pressers are prevented from interfering with each other on movement thereof between a respective pressing and rest positions.
