Knitting needles

The top hook and the latch needle form the knitting needles. Latch needles are given sliding movements in individual grooves called tricks of the cylinder. The latch swing freely and the stem is a straight portion with a protruding butt. Through the butt the reciprocating movement to the needles is given. in addition,the latch needles are self acting, and requires only previous loop on the stem and do not require any outside agency to close the hook. The swinging latch has a cup at its end and is riveted to the stem.

Sinkers

Sinker is a thin metal plate with action at right angles to and fro between adjoining needles. And it may perform one or more of the following functions:

  1.  Loop formation
  2. Holding down
  3. Knocking over

The main object of a sinker is to assist the needles in loop formation by sinking or knitting the newly laid yarns into a loop. As its forward edges of catch advantages between the two adjoining needles.

It also holds down the loops at a lower level of the needle stems and prevents the old loops from being lifted as the needles raise to clear them for their hooks.

The third function is a knocking over at which the needle passes through the old loop by drawing a new loop.
