A sinker control apparatus for flat knitting machines located on a transverse board over a plurality of knitting needles to drive parallel sinkers hinged between the knitting needles to rotate. The sinker control apparatus includes a base, a linked movement portion located on the base to perform driving movements, a first control cam and a second control cam hinged on the linked movement portion, and a switching portion coupled with the linked movement portion. The switching portion includes at least one connection rod connecting to the linked movement portion, a switching seat coupled on the connection rod and an elastic element coupled around the connection rod to provide a butting force to the switching seat towards the transverse board. The switching seat has a magnetic attracting portion at one side facing the transverse board to attract the transverse board magnetically.

Sinker control apparatus for flat knitting machines

A yarn feeder for flat knitting machines is located on a yarn feeder guide track to move transversely thereon and includes a baseboard slidably coupled on the yarn feeder guide track, a first rocking arm, a second rocking arm and a yarn feeding unit located on the baseboard. The first and second rocking arms have respectively a first pivot end and a second pivot end coupled with the baseboard, and a first pressed end and a second pressed end to receive a horizontal force to swing respectively about the first and second pivot ends serving as fulcrums. The yarn feeding unit includes a yarn feeding arm located between the first and second rocking arms, and a first linkage bar hinged on the yarn feeding arm and first rocking arm to move simultaneously, and a second linkage bar hinged on the yarn feeding arm and second rocking arm to move simultaneously.

Yarn feeder for flat knitting machines

A needle bed structure for flat knitting machines that is located at two sides of a needle bed gap includes a plurality of parallel needle plates, a plurality of knitting needles and sinkers located between the needle plates, a sinker control portion movable in parallel with the arranged direction of the sinkers, and at least one control cam driven by a switching portion to push the sinkers to rotate towards the needle bed gap during the switching movement. The switching portion performs a switching movement according to the moving direction. The needle plates hole at least one needle pressing board to restrict vertical movement of the knitting needles. The switching portion has a magnetic attracting portion corresponding to the needle pressing board to form magnetic attraction therewith. A spacer is provided between the needle plates to prevent the horizontal movement of the sinkers.
