Abstract
A stitch pressing device for flat knitting machine consists essentially of a combination of stitch pressing means and sub-presser means, both provided on a carriage. The forward end portion of a L-shaped stitch presser bar operative at same phase as a knitting lock on the carriage is adapted to enter into and retract from a gap between a pair of needle beds through movement involving a circular motion above a knockover comb. A sub-presser element which operates at a different phase from that of the stitch presser bar has its front portion constantly positioned in the gap between the needle beds and is urged downwardly deeper into the gap than the presser bar. A brush provided at substantially same phase as the horizontal portion of the stitch presser bar is adapted to retract from its operative position relative to needles in synchronism with the early phase of retraction of the presser bar so as for it not to damage the hair ends of the brush during such retracting movement.
