Breaks between adjacent sinker cam segments are located in linear portions of at least one of the sinker-advancing surfaces and sinker-retracting surfaces where substantially only frictional forces act on the sinkers, and thus where radial acceleration of the sinkers caused by the cam surfaces is substantially zero. The breaks for a given sinker cam segment can be circumferentially staggered relative to each other. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20130098117 | Sinker - The main objective of the present invention is to provide a sinker that can produce pile loops of different lengths. The sinker has a nib and a belly formed separately on one end thereof. A throat is formed between the nib and the belly. The nib has a bulge formed on a top edge thereof. The throat has a recess formed on a top edge of the belly. With the bulge and the recess, multiple vertical gaps of different lengths are provided. When yarns are placed at different relative positions, pile loops of different lengths are made by the same sinker. Thus, the sinker results in fabrics with variant appearances and good tactile impression. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20140137605 | ROTARY SINKER, KNITTING MACHINE, AND STITCH FORMING METHOD - A rotary sinker enabling stitch formation by a knitting machine using a rotor for forming a stitch, a knitting machine including the rotary sinker, and a stitch forming method are provided. The ring sinkers as rotating bodies are capable of rotating about a rotation axis independently of each other. The rotation times of the ring sinkers are set to be different from each other. Thus, the rotation times are adjusted to be different between the ring sinker that holds an old loop and the ring sinker that holds a new loop. Adjustment of the rotation times prevents application of a large tension to the knitting yarn made of low stretch fiber, and a stitch can be formed even with a knitting yarn made of non-stretch or low-stretch fiber. | 05-22-2014 |

| 20130067964 | DOWNWARD PRESSING MESH MECHANISM AND SINKER THEREOF FOR FLAT KNITTING MACHINES - A downward pressing mesh mechanism and sinker thereof for flat knitting machines in which the downward pressing mesh mechanism includes a needle seat containing a bearing surface to hold a plurality of sinkers and knitting needles separated by spacers and a cam holder located above the sinkers to hold a cam. The cam has a guide track to drive the sinkers swinging. The spacers are vertically run through by a bracing shaft at a lower side. Each sinker includes a yarn pressing portion to press a yarn to form a mesh, a swing guide portion driven by the guide track and a shaft rotating recess to couple with the bracing shaft. The sinker thus structured is simpler and durable, hence can be produced and assembled, or repaired and replaced easier and faster. Thus manpower and material costs can be reduced, and product prices also are decreased to meet market requirements. | 03-21-2013 |

| 20140260435 | Circular Knitting Machine With Mounting Arrangement For Sinker Cams - Sinker cam segments in a circular knitting machine are located with respect to the generally radial direction by a generally radially inwardly facing location surface disposed radially outward of the segments. Each segment's radially outer end defines a contact region that abuts the locating surface. The contact region can be complementary surface contour to that of the locating surface, or a pair of discrete, spaced contact points protruding out from the radially outer end of the segment. The contact region is a reference for positioning the sinker cam segment with respect to the generally radial direction. | 09-18-2014 |
