Abstract
A knitting tool, such as a selector sinker or a needle for a knitting machine, includes a flat shank and a narrow elongate control spring projecting from a slot-like opening in a narrow side of the shank. One end of the control spring has a broader anchorage section at one end which is inserted into a recess provided at an inward end of the opening in the shank. The width of the recess, measured transversely to the longitudinal extent of the opening, is greater, at least at certain locations, than the width of the opening. The thickness of the anchorage section of the control spring is less than or equal to the depth of the recess. As a result, the control spring is rigidly anchored in the shank in a manner secure against rotation.
