Abstract:
1. A transfer jack comprising: a main body having: wherein said stitch loop hooking portion is shaped so as to be biased toward a base end of said main body from a center of a gap between the front needle bed and the rear needle bed when said transfer jack is located at the advanced position during the racking motion, and wherein a flat bottom portion between said pair of relief portions on said lower face of said transfer jack is located in the gap between the front needle bed and the rear needle bed when said transfer jack is located at the advanced position during the racking motion so that interference with the sinker plate can be avoided, whereby an effective width corresponding to a distance between said stitch loop hooking portion and a tip portion of each of said relief portions of said transfer jack is increased with respect to a height of a hook portion of a knitting needle when the knitting needle enters into the stitch loop from a base end-side of said main body of said transfer jack.
