Abstract
In a two-bed flat knitting machine separate sinker control devices are provided for controlling sinkers arranged between needles and have a device body laterally releasably mountable on a machine carriage. They extend only over an operating region of a cam system and their control parts are formed so that they are displaced during a carriage stroke return automatically to an operative position or a rest position.
