Abstract
The invention relates to stitch-forming machines, which have needles guided on a needle support means for longitudinal displacement and controlled by needle cams and which also have sinkers displaceable between the needles in the region of their heads, these sinkers having sinker throats and knitting surfaces and being controlled by sinker cams. In order to shorten the distance to be travelled by the needles during drawing of the loops it is suggested that the sinkers be mounted in a plane cam guideway by means of a projecting swivel butt for pivoting movement only and not be displaceable in a longitudinal direction and that the distance from the sinker throats and knitting surfaces to the adjacent edge of the needle support means be alterable solely due to pivoting movement of the sinker.
