Abstract
A knitting tool (1) is provided with a braking spring (15) formed on the knitting tool as a one-piece member thereof. The braking spring has a thickness (W) which is less than that of the knitting tool (1), whereby the braking spring (15) may yield to a great extent and has a soft spring characteristic. Such a result may be achieved even with short spring lengths, whereby dimensional deviations of the spring have only a slight effect on the spring force. The structure is only slightly prone to soiling. The knitting tool may be manufactured in a simple manner.
Claims24
A system component of a knitting system of a stitch-forming machine, comprising
- a shank having two flanks that are substantially parallel to one another and have a distance from one another that defines the thickness (D) of the system component,
- a recess formed in at least one of the flanks, and
- a resilient tongue formed on the shank in the region of the recess, with the tongue being a one-piece part of the shank, having a thickness that is less than the thickness (D) of the system component, and projecting beyond one of the flanks.
A system component of a knitting system of a stitch-forming machine, comprising:
- a shank having two flanks extending substantially parallel to one another and having a distance from one another that defines the thickness (D) of the system component;
- a recess formed within at least one of the flanks, with the recess extending only partly through the shank and having a closed edge, so that the recess is bounded all around by a surface region of the flank;
- and,
- a resilient tongue formed from the shank within the region of the recess as a one-piece part of the shank, with the resilient tongue projecting beyond one of the flanks and having a thickness that is less than the thickness (D) of the system component.
