FIELD: textiles, paper.

SUBSTANCE: control device of sinkers for flat-knitting machines, which is located on the transversal plate over a set of knitting needles and drives the parallel pivotally mounted sinkers pivoting between the knitting needles. Control device of sinkers comprises a base, a unit of transmission of motion associated with the base with the ability of a driving movement, the first control cam and the second control cam which are pivotally connected to the unit of transmission of motion and a switching unit connected to the unit of transmission of motion. The switching unit comprises at least one connecting element connected to the unit of transmission of motion, the switching unit connected to the connecting element, and an elastic element located around the connecting element for providing the pressing force of the switching unit to a transversal plate. The switching unit comprises a magnetic attracting unit on one side, facing the transversal plate, to attract the transversal plate due to magnetic force.

EFFECT: device enables to control the sinkers, ensuring smooth switching during movement relative to the needle bed.
