Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009095362A1] A needle for transferring stitches from said needle to adjacent needles for knitting machines for hosiery or the like, the needle (1) comprising a shank (2), a hooked head (3) that is arranged at a longitudinal or upper end of the shank (2), and a latch (4), pivoted to the shank (2) proximate to the head (3), for rotation in order to open or close the head (3), the needle (1) comprising at least one lamina (6a, 6b) connected to the shank (2) and having a portion (8a, 8b) elastically flexible from an inactive position to an active position; in the active position, this portion (8a, 8b) of the lamina (6a, 6b) widens the loop (9) of knitting fitted onto the shank (2) at the elastically flexible portion (8a, 8b) of the lamina, and the head (3) of an adjacent needle (Ia, Ib) can be inserted in the space comprised between the portion (8a, 8b) of the lamina (6a, 6b), in the active position, and the corresponding side (7a, 7b) of the shank (2), to pick up the loop (9) of knitting, the lamina (6a, 6b) has at least one actuation region (31 a, 31b) that can be engaged by an actuation means to transfer or keep its elastically flexible portions (8a, 8b) in the inactive position or to transfer or keep its elastically flexible portions (8a, 8b) in the active position.
