Abstract
The needles ( ) of a needle set ( ), which substantially agree in their geometry, have butts ( ) of different lengths, which have a predetermined breaking point ( ). The predetermined breaking points are differently embodied, so that the breaking torques of the butts ( ) of the needles ( ), which are a part of the set ( ), are different. By means of this it is possible, on the one hand, to assuredly prevent damage to the knitting machine, but on the other hand to assure the dependable operation of the needles.
