1·This clearance space makes it possible to reduce the distance between the sinker (2) and the latch needle (3) or to reduce the wear between these two elements.
此间隙空间使得减小沉降片（2）和舌针（3）之间的距离或减小这 两个元件间的磨损成为可能。
2·As a result, a clearance space is created on at least one side of the sinker (2).
结果是，在沉降片(2)的至少一侧上产生了间隙空间。
3·Consequently, the pivoting movement of the holding-down and knock-over sinker (5) is forced to follow the back-and-forth linear movement of the knitting needle (4).
因此，迫使退圈和脱圈沉降片的 枢转运动随动织针（4）的前后线性运动。
