A knitting needle designed specifically for achieving particularly fine divisions, or another knitting tool (), has a narrower working section () and a wider support section (), whereby the support section () is provided with a positioning means (), for example, having the form of a slit () or having the form of a rib (). The knitting tool () is associated with a fixing means () in the form of a projection () or a groove () on the side of the bar (). Due to this measure, the support sections () of the knitting tools () may be arranged&#x2014;in close proximity to each other, in contact with or at a minimal distance from each other&#x2014;on the bar (), so that a maximum cross-section is available for configuring the support section (). This provides strong stability for the knitting tools ()&#x2014;even in cases of extremely fine divisions&#x2014;and, at the same time, provides precise alignment and avoids division errors.

Knitting machine tool, in particular for the finest division

To simplify the setup of a bar and associated tools of a knitting machine and to improve the degree of precision regarding fineness and the level of sturdiness of the tools and bar system, the holding parts () of the tools () of the tool set () are configured differently. On the holding parts () of at least one tool type, means () are provided for positioning the tools () on the bar and thus means for defining the division. Separate positioning means for positioning and defining the division may be assigned to the other tools (). Alternatively, they may be positioned by the tools () of the first type, between which they are accommodated. If positioning grooves are provided in the bar or parts thereof, these grooves may be set up for twice the distance of division, which results in robust and mechanically stable solutions with finer divisions.

Tool set and bar for a knitting machine

A knitting tool for a bar () of a knitter comprises a shaft (), which is provided with a plastic body () at least on one side, which extends beyond the side surface () of the shaft. Said plastic body () is in contact with the side surface of the adjacent knitting tool. Thus, both knitting tools concerned are supported at one another.

Knitting tool for a knitting machine

The inventive knitting tools, in particular knitting needles (), have a body () which, for alignment, has on its narrow side projections () which have precisely machined abutment surfaces () on their end faces. The abutment surfaces (), can be produced, for example, during a suitable stage of the manufacturing process. One of the projections () or an additional projection () can be provided with abutment surfaces () which are used for longitudinal positioning of the knitting tool. Corresponding grooves () in the needle bar () are assigned to the projections ().
