Abstract
A latch needle ( ) has a leaf spring ( ′) that is associated with the latch ( ), that is disposed in the sawslot ( ) and is held in corresponding bearing seats ( ) at the narrow sides or end walls ( ) defining the sawslot . Each bearing seat ( ) has a support surface ( ) for the respective end of the spring, and at least one counterpart surface ( ), with the respective end ( ) of the leaf spring ( ) extending between these two surfaces and being held there. The axial or longitudinal play of the leaf spring ( ′) is so small that the leaf spring ( ′) cannot fall out of the space between the support surface ( ) and the counterpart surface ( ), even when it is deflected to a considerable extent. The leaf spring ( ′) is therefore held securely in the sawslot ( ).
