FIELD: textiles, paper.

SUBSTANCE: device of needle bar of a flat-knitting machine in which the needle bar is placed on either side of the recess for the needle bar, comprises a plurality of parallel needle plates, a plurality of knitting needles and sinkers placed between the needle plates, the sinkers control unit, moving parallel to a given direction of the sinkers, as well as, at least one control cam driven by the switching unit, when switching providing the movement and rotation of the sinkers in the direction of the recess for the needle bar. At that, the unit performs the switch in accordance with the direction of the movement. The needle plates provide the presence of at least one presser needle panel which limits the vertical movement of the knitting needles. In the switching unit there is a magnetic element corresponding to the presser needle panel which generates a magnetic attraction with this panel. Between the adjacent needle plates the presence of the spacer is provided, which limits the horizontal movement of the sinkers.

EFFECT: absence of the usual bed of the sinkers in the construction of the proposed needle bar enables to reduce significantly its consumption of material.
