ABSTRACT:
In a knitting machine having at least one needle bed, the needle bed is equipped with needles located beside one another, which are guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner under the control of a needle cam race. Combined hold-down and knock-over sinkers that are movable both in the longitudinal direction of the needles and transversely thereto are pivotably supported between the needles, their longitudinal and transverse movement being controlled by sinker cam race surfaces.
In order to attain satisfactory, relatively low-friction guidance of the needles and sinkers while operating at high speed, the apparatus is designed such that the needles are disposed on longitudinal ribs disposed spaced apart on the needle bed, and the sinkers are disposed between these ribs. The needles are laterally guided, over an upper portion of their shank length near the needle cheek, by the sinkers, while over the remaining lower portion of their shank length they are guided by auxiliary ribs disposed beside the longitudinal ribs and joined to the needle bed.
