Abstract
The invention relates to a tool module (10) having a module body (11), which has a contact surface (21) and an orienting structure (22). A fastening opening (29) and additionally at least one, preferably a plurality of additional openings (33, 34) extend through the contact surface (21). The area of one additional opening (33) or (34) is larger than, preferably considerably larger than, for example at least twice or three times as large as the cross-sectional area of the fastening opening (29). Thus, a module body (11) is provided, by means of which an increased operating speed of the textile machine can be achieved.
