Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0208506A1] The improved latch needle (1) comprises a latch (5) whose lateral surfaces (21, 22) of the latch shank (11) are partitioned into flat areas (23, 24), which are offset with regard to one another and/or arranged at an angle to one another. The latch (5), measured in the direction of the rotational axis (27) thereof, comprises a thickness that is somewhat greater than the thickness in the shank area (43), especially at a point (45) of the transition of the latch shank (11) to the latch spoon (16). Point (43), on the contrary, is located approximately on the hook-side opening of the latch slot (6). By reducing the width, especially in this area, a smoothness and freedom of operation of the latch (5) is even accomplished when dust or grime enter the latch slot (6) or accumulate on the lateral walls (21, 22).
