Abstract
Proposed is a sinker () provided with a region () of reduced thickness on its working part (). As a result, a clearance space is created on at least one side of the sinker (). This clearance space makes it possible to reduce the distance between the sinker () and the latch needle () or to reduce the wear between these two elements. The clearance space furthermore does not change the distance between the sinker and the latch needle on the other side of the sinker. The sinker () according to the invention preferably has a clearance space on both sides, so that this sinker can be used in circular knitting machines which are designed for both rotational directions.
