In the case of a single circular knitting machine consisting of a central rotatable needle cylinder (Z), around which a sinker ring (PR) comprising sinkers (P) as well as stationary cam systems (S) are arranged, which act on the needles (1), which are in each case assigned to the sinkers (P) and which can be moved vertically up and down, so as to replace the pitches, which hit one another rigidly, with a sinker grid system, which is flexible per se, which is automatically oriented in the needle gaps, a rocker (44) comprising an upper and a lower control bump (45) being provided in each case on the end of the sinkers (P), which is spaced apart from the needle, the sinker ring (PR), at the end below the sinkers (P), which is spaced apart from the needle, is embodied as a pivot point projection (40) comprising pivot point slits (41), in which the sinkers (P) are accommodated with their pivot inlet (43) so that they are capable of being tilted and the sinkers (P) being are laterally fixed in the needle gaps with sliding noses (47) at the end, which is spaced apart from the needle, transport the last knitting loops to the needle shaft (1) behind the needle latches in response to the knitting loop formation.
A single circular knitting machine consisting of a central rotatable needle cylinder, around which a sinker ring, comprising sinkers as well as cam systems are arranged, which act on the needles, which are in each case assigned to the sinkers and which can be moved vertically up and down, wherein the sinkers encompass a rocker comprising an upper and a lower control bump in each case on the end, which is spaced apart from the needle, that the sinker ring at the end below the sinkers, which is spaced apart from the needle, is embodied as a pivot point projection comprising pivot point slits, in which the sinkers are accommodated so that they are capable of being tilted with their pivot inlet and in that they are laterally fixed in the needle gaps with sliding noses at the end, which is spaced apart from the needle, such that the last knitting loops are transported to the needle shaft behind the needle latches in response to the knitting loop formation.
A sinker for a single circular knitting machine, wherein the sinkers encompasses a rocker comprising an upper and a lower control bump in each case on the end, which is spaced apart from the needle, as well as a pivot inlet, wherein the thickness of the sinker encompasses the full pitch distance at least at a distance to the end on the needle side.
