Abstract
The invention sets forth a movable sinker which is to be disposed on a needle bed of a flat knitting machine, employing compound needles. The movable sinker is provided with a cam abutting part, a stopper with a pivot hole between the cam abutting part and the stopper, a front tip part includes a guide part with an inclined lower edge which guides the knitting thread to a stopping part. The guide part is so formed that the knitting thread supplied at the time of knitting by this flat knitting machine is securely guided in the hook part of the knitting needle, and the stitch pull-in amount of the carriage at the time of forming a stitch is reduced.
