Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2312032A1] Provided is a knitting needle having a construction of a coupled portion suited for speeding up. A compound needle 11 has a front end side boring 16d and a tail end side boring 16e, at the foot of a convex portion 16b protruding from the front end side of a needle jack 16. Between the front side end portion 2d and the tail side end portion 2e of the concave portion 2b of the needle body 2, a clearance is formed. The tail end side boring 16e is larger than the front end side boring 16d. However, even when the tail end side boring 16e increases in size, the boring is formed on the tail end side from the center line 2c of the concave portion 2b. This kind of large tail end side boring 16e relaxes stress concentration, and is able to make the convex portion 16b difficult to break even when an impact load is applied through driving of the needle jack 16.
