<p>A latch needle for machines used for the production of knitted goods has a needle shank, a needle head and a needle latch pivotally mounted in a latch. In order to ensure that even after longer periods of use the needle latch closes properly and does not move to the side of or beneath the needle head when in the closed position, the latch spoon (8), in relation to the plane of symmetry (10) of the needle latch (5) is inclined to one side of the needle shaft (1). The lateral distance (A) of the outer point (11) of the spoon portion of the latch (8) from the plane of symmetry of the needle (12) is at the most equal to half the thickness of the shank.</p> |
