  • Latch needle
    Publication number: 20050050924
    Abstract: A latch needle (1) is provided with a latch (5), which has a clearing profile (19) on its latch shank end (18). The clearing profile (19) serves to keep the sawslot (6) free of dirt. To that end, it has at least one special clearing face (24).

  • Knitting tool and method for producing it
    Patent number: 6860121
    Abstract: A knitting tool (1), particular for high-speed knitting machines, has a shank (2) that is provided with indentations (33, 34). For embodying these indentations, the shank (2) is provided with a slit (25), which creates two legs (29, 31) spaced apart from one another. These legs are bent toward one another so that the desired indentations are created at the flanks (27, 28). The indentations serve to reduce friction and to hold oil.

  • Needle set
    Patent number: 6629438
    Abstract: The needles (18, 19) of a needle set (17), which substantially agree in their geometry, have butts (28, 29) of different lengths, which have a predetermined breaking point (57, 58). The predetermined breaking points are differently embodied, so that the breaking torques of the butts (28, 29) of the needles (18, 19), which are a part of the set (17), are different. By means of this it is possible, on the one hand, to assuredly prevent damage to the knitting machine, but on the other hand to assure the dependable operation of the needles.
