stitch is made up by movement of the sinkers the method of producing the meshware is also included application_number US 55226375 A description basically the invention proposes that in a method of producing meshware through needles movable in a cylinder with sinkers between every two needles and parallel thereto during stitching the sinkers are moved in or oppositely to the direction of movement of the needles and the distance necessary to form a stitch is covered to some extent by the yarn drawing needle and for the remainder by the sinker the invention therefore proceeds from the realisation that some of the draw can arise from a sinker movement which is simultaneous with but oppositely directed to needle movement the sinker therefore moves oppositely to the needle during the descent thereof whereafter the stitch length i e the depth or extent of the draw is determined by the maximum distance between on the one hand the sinker end face over which the yarn is drawn and on the other hand the needle hook which is below the sinker end face this method requires two separate cams one for the needles and one for the sinkers the advantage of the method according to the invention is that cam steepness can be reduced for a given draw the speed of machine operation can therefore be increased considerably without any risk of overloading and therefore breaking the needles it was found with one machine that its speed.
