| 摘要 |
A knitting tool (10), preferably a latch needle, intended for fast-running knitting machines has a meandering shaft with reduced-thickness regions. The meandering shaft is adjoined by a straight shaft extension (16) which likewise has a reduced-thickness portion (32). The shaft extension (16) is distinguished from the shaft (15) by way of its height H2, which is less than the height H1 of the shaft (15). The reduced-thickness region (32) of the shaft extension (16) has a length which is at least much greater than the length of the stitch-forming structure (28) carried by the shaft extension (16). Preferably, the reduced-thickness region (32) is longer overall than the non-reduced-thickness region of the shaft extension (16). With this configuration, a surprisingly efficient high-speed-compatible knitting tool (10) is created. |

1. Knitting tool (10) for flat bed or circular knitting machines with at least one needle bed (12) that has guides (11) for knitting tools (10) that are movably guided in longitudinal direction, wherein the knitting tool (10) comprises:
a shaft (15) provided with at least one foot (25), said shaft having a first height (H1) and, in some parts, a first thickness (D1) that is reduced to a minimum thickness (D2) relative to the shaft (15), an elongated shaft extension (16) that extends away from the shaft (15) and transitions on its end remote from the shaft (15) into a stitch-forming structure (28), in which case the shaft extension (16) has a second height (H2) that is smaller than the first height (H1), wherein the shaft extension (16) has at least two sections (32, 33) with different thicknesses (D1, D2), wherein a section (32) of the at least two sections of the shaft extension (16) having a smaller thickness (D1) is at least as long as the stitch-forming structure (28). |
