Description

The present invention relates to an insert part of a textile machine, a packaging for at least one insert part of a textile machine, a method for supplying a textile machine with at least one insert part and for operating the same, and a system for further processing textile materials, which has a textile machine and at least one insert part for operating this textile machine.

It is known to use insert parts in corresponding textile machines and to use them to produce textiles. These insert parts include textile tools. What textile tools have in common is that they extend longitudinally between a front and a rear end. Textile tools in the sense of this publication are often very elongated, i.e. their longitudinal extension is much greater than their extension in the other two spatial directions.

At a certain distance from the rear end of these textile tools, a working section of the textile tool begins, which is designed for thread contact and/or stitch formation. In the case of knitting needles, a large (rear) part is designed to slide in the needle channels of a knitting machine. In the front area of such knitting needles is the hook, which forms stitches during the knitting process. The hook and the front part of the knitting needles, which comes into contact with the thread, form the working section of the same.

Knitting needles also include so-called slider needles, in which a slider that slides along the shaft of the needle during knitting opens and closes the hook of the needle and takes part in the transport of the half stitches during knitting. This means that the slider is also in contact with the thread during knitting and is subject to the above Definition of a textile tool. Among other things, WO 2016 165 991 A1 deals with such sliders.

Often, so-called sinkers are also used for knitting. These also have a working section in their front area that comes into contact with the thread during the knitting process and, among other things, holds down or knocks down stitches.

Knitting needles are usually attached to a bar at their rear end. They also have a hook at their front end for forming stitches. There are also other textile tools that are used in stitch-forming machines. For example, different machine manufacturers use a range of different tools in sock knitting machines to close the foot ends of socks:

Very common are the cape parts, which are often referred to as "spillo (singular) or spilli (plural)". These parts often have a tapered front end, which is used to engage the stitches at the end of the semi-finished sock while it is still in the form of a tube, so that the semi-finished sock can be subjected to the next processing step, namely sewing up the foot end, without stitching. Parts of the aforementioned type are used, for example, by the CN20685196 U shown.

Also the EP 2 873 761 B1 shows parts that are used in connection with closing socks and calls these, among other things, "transfer devices" or "transfer members" and "strip members". These textile tools in question, which are used in the field of sock closing devices, are often very small and difficult to handle textile tools, also in view of the fineness of the sock yarn. In the sense of this publication, in addition to the aforementioned stitch formation and stitch handling tools, sewing and felting needles are also textile tools.

In addition to textile tools, system parts are also used as insert parts in textile machines. These system parts are not in direct contact with the yarn or fabric during operation of the textile machines, but they impart the force or torque needed for the textile process to the textile tools (drive), or they contribute to the selection of textile tools during the textile process (selection part). Force or torque is also often transmitted for the latter purpose (selection). An example of the transmission of force or torque for The drive of downstream textile tools is the WO 2020/250088 A1 called, which introduces "flat parts" that transfer power to knitting needles during knitting.

As an example of a selection part, in which the insert part participates in the selection of textile tools during the knitting operation and thus enables the production of textiles with patterns (for example jacquard knitting), the EP859881B1 called: here it is a "circuit board for the selection and control of stitch-forming movements of knitting tools in a knitting machine", which is involved in the selection of textile tools in the textile production process in the manner described above. Another relatively clear example is provided by the US 4 644 762 A . In your Figure 1 a selection part (here "jack") with the reference symbol "SCH" is shown. The selection part has feet (English butts) to which force can be transmitted during knitting, e.g. from cam parts. The selection part can transmit this force with its front end to the needle "N" via another system part without a reference symbol. For this purpose, all three of the above-mentioned parts are slidably mounted in the grooves of the needle channel cylinder (in the US$ 4,644,762 with reference number 51). The dimensions and the working position of this selection part are therefore very similar to the dimensions and the working position of the textile tool "Needle N" and the same applies to equipping the needle cylinder with these system parts as to equipping it with textile tools: It is laborious and time-consuming.

In summary, the aforementioned insert parts (system parts and textile tools) have a number of things in common:

As a rule, they are separated at the beginning of their production by punching them out of sheet metal. They are often inserted into narrow guide channels, often being held in place so that they can move. As already mentioned, the insertion of many of these insert parts poses problems for the fitters or operators of the respective textile machines:

The initial equipment with insert parts and the replacement of defective insert parts with new ones is difficult.

Against this background, the EP 3 889 330 A1 aims to improve the production and handling of a pair of textile tools by connecting the two textile tools of the tool pair with each other by a predetermined breaking point. The teaching of the aforementioned publication does indeed have its advantages with regard to special textile tools. However, it has been shown that there are a large number of insert parts for textile machines in which the handling of the insert parts when inserting them in a textile machine requires further improvements. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to further facilitate the supply and equipping of textile machines with insert parts and the operation of the textile machines.

This object is solved by claims 1, 7, 10 and 14 of the present document.

The measures proposed by the present document result in each insert part being connected to (at least) one handling part which helps with inserting the insert part into the machine, but which itself no longer needs to be inserted into the machine. In addition, it has been shown that the freedom of shape (of the handling part) required by the present invention brings further advantages when handling the parts to be inserted.

As already mentioned, the longitudinal direction (z) of an insert part is the direction in which the insert part that remains in the textile machine after the predetermined breaking point has been separated has the greatest extent. In the longitudinal direction, the insert part extends between its front and a rear end. The insert part also extends in the other two spatial directions, in which it normally has a significantly smaller extent. The extension of the insert part in the width direction of the insert part is often - especially in the case of stitch-forming tools - determined by the fineness and is therefore small. The extension in the height direction is naturally significantly larger than the extension in the width direction, especially in the case of stitch-forming tools, but is still significantly smaller than the extension in the longitudinal direction.

As already mentioned in the introduction, the insert part can be a textile tool. Such textile tools have working sections that are located in the front area of the textile tool. This means that these working sections of the textile tool are at a distance from the rear end of the tool. The working sections are in contact with the thread or material to be processed and can be used for stitch formation tools. In the case of knitting needles, the entire hook area and the area on which the half stitch moves on the top of the knitting needle during knitting are therefore part of the working area. In the case of other textile tools, such as the "spillo" (hanging tool for the sock fastening device) described above, the tip of the spillo and a part of its shaft that is adjacent to the tip are of course part of the working area. Working area. The expert knows the parts of the respective textile tools that come into contact with thread or fabric when the textile machine is in operation. In the case of needles, the tip and the area of the shaft that penetrates the fabric when sewing belong to the working area.

With regard to the use of the term "system part", reference is also made to the above introductory passages with regard to the state of the art. System parts in the sense of this publication are used to select or drive textile tools. In knitting machines, such system parts are often inserted into the same grooves as knitting needles or sinkers and thus have the same "strength", i.e. the same extension in the width direction in the sense of the above definitions. System parts have working sections that transmit force or torque to textile tools or other system parts. As a rule, they therefore also have sections that initially absorb this force or torque. These sections can be designed like the feet of knitting needles. Often, however, they are also the front and rear ends of the system parts. System parts transmit force or torque directly or indirectly (via one or more other system parts) to textile tools and in this way either enable the selection of these or they drive the textile tools.

According to the present invention, the insert part is connected to a handling part via a predetermined breaking point when it is delivered by its manufacturer or seller. This handling part can be shaped as desired and in particular can be different from the insert part. It can therefore also be significantly larger than the insert part, which is often very delicate. The freedom of shape of the handling part according to the present invention (compared to the EP 3 889 330 A1 ) naturally also makes it easier to place the predetermined breaking point exactly in the place that makes it as easy as possible to insert the insert part into the textile machine. There are situations in which insert parts are used where the predetermined breaking point is not at the rear end of the insert part, but at a different location. In addition, the handling part or the unit made up of the handling part and insert part can also have a longitudinal axis that has an angle, preferably a right angle, in the rear area (i.e. in particular the area of the handling part). In particular in the case of knitting needles and sinkers that are used in ribbed discs or knitting cylinders, it can be advantageous if the insert part has a longitudinal extension, in particular in the height direction of the relevant aforementioned textile tool or system part. In this case, an additional or further advantageous option is to provide the predetermined breaking point on the upper edge of the textile tool or system part. When the relevant unit consisting of insert part and handling part is thus inserted into a dial or into a knitting cylinder, the handling part protrudes above the needle channel in which the insert part is located, in the height direction of the latter, so that the handling part can carry out a pivoting movement which has components in the height direction and the width direction of the textile tool and which separates the predetermined breaking point. The pivot axis of the aforementioned movement in this case advantageously runs in the longitudinal direction of the textile tool and along its upper edge. The pivoting movement takes place particularly unhindered and is therefore advantageous if the position of the predetermined breaking point in the height direction of the insert part is above or at the same height as the upper edge of the needle channel. This situation can also be caused by a machine operator if the distance between the predetermined breaking point and the lower limit of the insert in the height direction of the insert is less than the height of the groove-like channel in which the insert in question occupies its working position: in this case, the machine operator introduces the insert "from above" into the groove-like channel until the predetermined breaking point is located just above or at the height of the upper edge of the turns of the benign channel. The machine operator then carries out the pivoting movements to separate the predetermined breaking point. Finally, the insert slides into its working position and the part of the predetermined breaking point that remains on the insert does not get in the way of any other part of the textile machine.

Another additional useful option is to coordinate the insert parts and the relevant textile machines in such a way that the part of the insert part remaining after the predetermined breaking point has been released (predetermined breaking point) does not collide with parts of the textile machine during operation. In this case, an advantageous measure is to position the predetermined breaking point in the height direction of the insert part in such a way that it is arranged above or at the same height as the upper edge of the needle channel but below the cam part of the textile machine of the relevant system for further processing of textiles when the insert part has already reached the bottom of the groove-like channel. The predetermined breaking point can then be released when the insert part has already reached its position in its height direction.

Another advantageous possibility is to arrange the predetermined breaking point on or at the foot of the insert part. In the latter case, the part of the predetermined breaking point that remains on the insert part becomes part of the foot and slides through the cam parts of the textile machine - preferably a knitting machine - during operation.

In addition, any insert part designed according to the present invention can be inserted into the relevant textile machine with a suitable handling part. When applying the teaching according to the EP 3 889 330 A1 There is always one sinker left for each pair of knitting tools, which must be inserted in the conventional way - i.e. without handling aid.

The predetermined breaking point in the sense of the present invention is a point at which the insert part and the handling part are connected to one another and which is designed in such a way that it gives way more easily under load or is easier to separate than the adjacent parts of the insert part and the handling part. The predetermined breaking point can be separated manually and without tools in order to facilitate the assembly or insertion of the insert part. A predetermined breaking point can be achieved, for example, by reducing the material cross-section and/or by changing the material properties at the predetermined breaking point - such as by embrittlement of metal. The separation of the predetermined breaking point can take place in particular by rotating the handling part about an axis of rotation or tilting the handling part about a bending axis. The bending axis advantageously runs along the height direction of the insert part in many insert parts, or the alignment of the bending axis has at least components of the height direction and can optionally also contain components of the other spatial directions - but preferably the longitudinal direction. It is advantageous for the axis of rotation to contain at least components of the longitudinal direction and, if necessary, also components of the other spatial directions.

The handling part is shaped in such a way that it cannot be used as an insert part in the textile machine in question. The shape is preferably simple and corresponds to a rectangular tab. This tab often has a projection - which could also be referred to as a cross brace - which protrudes from the tab, preferably at right angles in a positive or negative height direction. In particular in connection with small insert parts, it is advantageous if the insert part remaining in the machine after the predetermined breaking point has been separated is smaller than the handling part. A greater length of the handling part usually helps to separate the predetermined breaking point through the leverage effect. Particularly in the case of parts that are made from sheet metal by punching, this generally means that the handling part in the plane spanned by the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction of the insert part advantageously has a larger surface area than the insert part that remains in the machine after the predetermined breaking point has been separated. It is advantageous if the entire unit consisting of insert part and handling part is produced in one production process. This means that the entire part is punched out of sheet metal, for example, and then passes through the processing stations that are necessary for the production of knitting needles, for example. The end result is an insert part that is integrally connected to the handling part, whereby the aforementioned material weakening - which can also consist of chemically or physically induced embrittlement - naturally occurs at the predetermined breaking point. The handling part and the insert part are advantageously made of the same material.

It is advantageous if the handling part has a larger area in the plane spanned by the longitudinal direction and a second spatial direction of the insert part than the remaining part of the insert part.

In the case of stitch-forming tools in particular, it is advantageous if the second spatial direction, which spans this plane in addition to the longitudinal direction, is the vertical direction. The measure shown is particularly advantageous if the insert part is particularly small. With very long knitting needles or similar parts, it can be advantageous if the surface of the handling part is much shorter than the knitting needle, but the extension in the second spatial direction is also much larger (as mentioned, advantageously extension in the vertical direction). In this way, a larger surface area than the side surface of the knitting needle can even be created.

It is also advantageous if the material of the handling part and the insert part have the same thickness in a third spatial direction, which is advantageously the width direction, particularly in the case of stitch-forming tools.

It is also advantageous if the handling part extends the insert part in the longitudinal direction of the insert part when the predetermined breaking point is closed. The predetermined breaking point is advantageously located at one end of the insert part where it ends in its longitudinal direction.

The supply and equipping of textile machines with insert parts and the operation of the textile machines is also facilitated by packaging for at least one insert part of a Textile machine which contains the at least one insert part and at least partially encloses the at least one insert part, is improved if the at least one insert part is designed in the manner already mentioned above.

• wenn das Einsetzteil in seiner Transportposition von der Verpackung zumindest teilweise umschlossen ist,
• wenn die Verpackung zumindest eine Entnahmeöffnung für das zumindest eine Einsetzteil aufweist,
• und wenn die Entnahmeöffnung die Verpackung in der Richtung öffnet, in der das Handlingteil über die Sollbruchstelle mit dem Einsatzteil verbunden ist.

Additional benefits arise

• if the insert part is at least partially enclosed by the packaging in its transport position,
• if the packaging has at least one removal opening for the at least one insert part,
• and if the removal opening opens the packaging in the direction in which the handling part is connected to the insert part via the predetermined breaking point.

As a result, the removal of the insert part connected to the handling part from the packaging for loading into the machines is made easier, since the handling part can be grasped directly while the insert part is still in the packaging. Handling the insert part that is still connected to the handling part is made even easier if the handling part protrudes from the packaging when the insert part is in its transport position in the packaging. This measure, among others, makes it even easier to grasp the handling part for handling. It is then possible to use the handling part to insert the insert part without having to re-grip, i.e. without having to grasp the handling part or the insert part at another location.

The supply and equipping of textile machines with insert parts and the operation of the textile machines is also improved by a method for supplying a textile machine with at least one insert part and for operating the textile machines, if the at least one insert part is designed in the manner described above. Textile machines are operated to produce textiles or, in the case of sewing, to connect textile surfaces, among other things. In the sense of the present publication, "participating in textile production" for a textile tool means that the working area of the same has contact with elements of the textile, such as the thread in particular. As has also already been mentioned several times, system parts do not usually have this contact with the thread or the textile material, but rather they participate in textile production or further processing of textile materials by passing on force or torque directly or indirectly to textile tools. The system part is often used to select the textile Tools, in other cases the force or torque to operate the textile tools so that they perform the movements required of them in textile production.

In its delivery state, which has already been mentioned several times above, i.e. in the state in which it is delivered by its manufacturer to its user in textile machines, the insert part has an intact and therefore still undissolved or unopened predetermined breaking point. This delivery state therefore exists when the machine is first assembled, so the predetermined breaking point is intact when assembly begins. "Handling" in the sense of this publication means that the insert part is inserted into the textile machines, placed there and/or fixed there by the manual activity of the operator, the production personnel or a robot. In view of the use of the word "handling part" in this publication, one could also say that the new German word "handling" and the term "handling" are largely used synonymously. By and large, the handling part is therefore used to handle the insert part. The insert part is also brought into a position, which may already be the working position, with the help of the handling part and is locked or fixed there if necessary. The type of fixing is determined by the specialist against the background of the installation situation and the function of the part.

As already mentioned several times, the handling part is shaped differently than the insert part and usually has different dimensions in one, two or three spatial directions. The handling part is not suitable as an insert part for the same purpose in the same machine. It does not take part in textile production with the textile machine. As a rule, it is removed from the textile machine. It is often a disposable part. In the interests of sustainability, it is advantageous if at least its raw materials can be reused. This is easily the case if the handling part, like most insert parts of textile machines, is a metal part.

Protecting the insert part with packaging during transport between the place of manufacture of the insert part and the place of use (location of the textile machine) is advantageous. At least the insert part should be protected by the packaging, but often the packaging in question will enclose the entirety of the insert and handling parts. Packaging that can handle larger quantities also offers advantages. of replacement parts in their delivery state. Large containers contain, for example, 500 or 1000 such units (consisting of insert part and handling part).

The insert part is advantageously connected to the handling part during production. This connection can be created right at the start of the parts' production. For example, both parts can be separated or detached together from a sheet of metal. The predetermined breaking point can have been created beforehand, for example by grooving or scoring the sheet of metal in question at the appropriate point. However, the predetermined breaking point can also be created when the unit made up of the handling part and insert part has already been separated. It has been shown, quite surprisingly, that handling the aforementioned unit with the handling part during production has further advantages. This applies to some of the production steps or even to all of them, depending on the case. Handling the unit with the handling part is advantageous when the insert part has to be fed to new processing stations or placed there. The handling part can also be gripped by mechanical handling devices and the unit made up of the handling part and insert part can be transported during processing or between processing stations. The fact that the handling part is present in some or all processing stations does not mean, however, that it undergoes all - sometimes very expensive - processing steps to which the insert part is subjected. The handling part is therefore designed in such a way that it is inexpensive to manufacture and, due to its size and nature, is suitable for handling the insert part. Example: the hanging parts (spilli) already mentioned several times have tips that are not easy to manufacture. The same applies to needles and, for example, to the hooks and tongues of knitting needles. It is therefore advantageous in all embodiments of the invention if the insert part is not equipped with such features. It also applies to all embodiments of the invention that it is advantageous if the handling part is cheaper to manufacture and/or is actively subjected to fewer work steps during its manufacture than the insert part. In this context, it is emphasized again that even in the case of units consisting of an insert part and a handling part made of metal, the raw material costs only make up a very small proportion of the total costs of the system. It is therefore often possible to produce a handling part that is much larger than the corresponding insert part at a much lower cost than the insert part.

• wenn das Einsatzteil entlang seiner Längsrichtung in eine nut- oder kanalförmige Aufnahme der Textilmaschine eingeführt wird,
• bis die Sollbruchstelle in die Nähe des Eingangs der nut- oder kanalförmigen Aufnahme der Textilmaschine gelangt,
• woraufhin die Sollbruchstelle durch eine Relativbewegung des Handlingteils gegenüber dem zumindest teilweise oder weitgehend in der Aufnahme befindlichen Einsetzteil gelöst wird.

It is advantageous

• if the insert part is inserted along its longitudinal direction into a groove- or channel-shaped holder of the textile machine,
• until the predetermined breaking point comes close to the entrance of the groove- or channel-shaped holder of the textile machine,
• whereupon the predetermined breaking point is released by a relative movement of the handling part with respect to the insert part which is at least partially or largely located in the receptacle.

Such groove- or channel-shaped holders for textile machines are particularly common on knitting machines. In knitting machines, knitting needles and often also sinkers slide in channels, whereby the working areas of these textile tools in particular protrude from the needle channel in the direction of the knitting area in which knitting is taking place during knitting. Inserting knitting needles into these needle channels can be difficult.

Therefore, the use of textile tools or system parts that are provided with handling parts is advantageous in the field of knitting. Additional advantages arise if the following procedure is used when equipping the aforementioned needle or sinker channels: The textile tool is inserted into the channel with its tip, i.e. its working area, first, whereby the operator of the textile machines who is carrying out the equipping of the textile machines preferably handles the unit consisting of the insert part and the handling part with the latter part. The machine operator then moves the insert part along its longitudinal direction into the needle channel up to the point at which the predetermined breaking point is only a small distance or no distance at all from the entrance to the needle channel. The machine operator then moves the handling part preferably in the width direction of the insert part and the needle channel, which leads to a relative movement between the insert part and the handling part, since the former part is held in the width direction by the needle channel. This relative movement leads to the separation of the predetermined breaking point. The textile tool or insert part has now been inserted into the needle or sinker channel. If necessary, a further movement in the longitudinal direction of the needle channel is necessary to reach the final working position. This can usually also be achieved by moving the textile tool by operating one of its feet. Such feet are known and are usually present on the textile tools in question in order to provide them with the power for the knitting movements.

The above teaching also works if the holder is not a needle or sinker channel in which it is not desired to fix the insert part in the longitudinal direction of the insert part, but if the holder has a pliers-like function, for example, and fixes the insert part in particular by means of a force fit in such a way that it is held in all three spatial directions. In this case too, the unit consisting of the insert part and the handling part can be introduced into the functional area of the pliers-like holder until the insert part is in the position in which it is to be fixed in the holder. In this position, the handling part is not prevented by the holder or other elements of the machine from making a relative movement with respect to the insert part, which releases the predetermined breaking point. The machine operator therefore moves the handling part accordingly in this situation so that the relative movement occurs and the predetermined breaking point is released.

The above examples show that the predetermined breaking point can be separated as long as and to the extent that the elements of the textile machine, including the holder, allow a relative movement of the handling part. It is possible that the predetermined breaking point is separated when the insert part has already reached its final working position. However, it is also possible that in order to reach one or the working position, further movements of the insert part relative to the holder or relative to the textile machine are required after the predetermined breaking point has been opened. Therefore, in the present context, it is also advantageous if the insert part, the handling part and in particular the position of the predetermined breaking point are coordinated with the textile machine or with its at least one holder, which enables the method described above, in such a way that at least a relative movement of the handling part sufficient to separate the predetermined breaking point is possible.

For most textile tools used in lace closing devices (such as the above-mentioned transfer tools or spilli, "transfer devices" or "transfer members" and "strip members"), it is likely that holders are preferably used which fix the textile tools in question predominantly in a force-fitting manner, so that the latter method (fixing the tool also in the longitudinal direction, then separating the predetermined breaking point) is likely to be preferable with regard to these parts.

It has already been pointed out above that insert parts for dials and knitting cylinders in particular can be provided with handling parts whose longitudinal axis in the height direction of the insert parts, or where the predetermined breaking point can be positioned on the top of the insert part. In particular with such units consisting of insert parts and handling parts, it is advantageous if the assembly takes place as follows: i) feeding the unit consisting of insert part and handling part to a groove-like channel of the relevant needle bed (which can of course also contain boards or system parts, among other things), ii) inserting the insert part into the needle channel, either until the predetermined breaking point is in the area of the upper limit of the needle channel or until the insert part sits on the base of the needle channel. iii) causing the pivoting movements of the handling part to release the predetermined breaking point.

The supply and equipping of textile machines with insert parts and the operation of the textile machines is also improved and facilitated by a system for further processing textile materials, which has a textile machine and at least one insert part for operating this textile machine, if the at least one insert part is designed in the manner described above. Also in connection with this system, the handling part is shaped differently than the insert part and the handling part is not an insert part for the textile machine.

The insert part, on the other hand, is designed to participate in textile production with the textile machine. After it has been inserted, it preferably participates in textile production. For the purposes of this publication, "participating in textile production" means that the insert part in question participates in the further finishing of the respective textile materials in the respective work step for which it is designed.

• dass die Textilmaschine über eine Aufnahme verfügt, in der das Einsetzteil in einer ersten Arbeitsposition festgelegt werden kann,
• dass das Handlingteil manuell erreichbar ist, wenn das Einsetzteil in der ersten Arbeitsposition ist,
• dass die Aufnahme zumindest eine Relativbewegung des Handlingteils gegenüber dem in der Aufnahme festgelegten Einsetzteil gestattet, wenn das Einsetzteil in der ersten Arbeitsposition ist,
• und dass diese zumindest eine Relativbewegung zur Trennung der Sollbruchstelle geeignet ist.

In its preferred form, the system is characterized by

• that the textile machine has a holder in which the insert part can be fixed in a first working position,
• that the handling part can be reached manually when the insert part is in the first working position,
• that the holder allows at least one relative movement of the handling part with respect to the insert part fixed in the holder when the insert part is in the first working position,
• and that this at least one relative movement is suitable for separating the predetermined breaking point.

To the extent and insofar as the textile machine (and here in particular the at least one holder of the textile machine and adjacent parts), the insert part and the handling part are coordinated with one another in such a way that the above requirements are met, it is possible to carry out the latter method mentioned above with regard to the method according to the present invention (fixing the tool also in the longitudinal direction, then separating the predetermined breaking point) with the system.

Fig. 19

Figure 19 relates to a textile tool which corresponds to the textile tool 1 of Figure 4 , but whose handling part 7 is also connected to the textile tool 1 at a different location.

Figure 1 shows a first textile tool 1, which is a hanging part of a sock fastening device. This part, also called a "spillo", has a tip 2 and a shaft 3, which extends mainly in the longitudinal direction z, as well as a fastening area 4 which runs largely transversely to the shaft, which extends mainly in the vertical direction x and which in turn is intended to be accommodated in a tool holder of a sock fastening device. The fastening area has a notch 5. Many different embodiments of such hanging parts 1 are known. Most of these hanging parts have their delicate shape in common. As a rule, these parts and also the other insert parts of sock fastening devices are relatively difficult to insert into their holders. It should also be mentioned that the textile tool 1, which is designed as a hanging part, extends between its front end 24 and its rear end 25 in the z direction and has a longitudinal extension 26 between these points.

Figure 2 shows a slightly differently designed hanging part 1 of a sock fastening device, which is connected to the handling part 7 via the intact predetermined breaking point 9. The handling part 7 also extends mainly in the longitudinal direction z of the textile tool 1. The handling part 7 has at the rear end of its Longitudinal extension a cross brace 8, which extends mainly in the height direction x of the shoulder part 1. In Figure 2 the stitch 6 is also shown for symbolic reasons. The stitch is only intended to make it clear that the tip 2 and part of the shaft 3 of the hanging part 1 come into contact with stitches 6 when a textile machine is operated into which the hanging part 1, which is of course an insert part in the sense of this publication, is inserted. The hanging part 1 is therefore a "textile tool" in the sense of this publication and also falls under the generic term "insert part". The areas of the hanging part 1, which is of course a textile tool in the sense of this publication, that come into contact with the thread or the stitch 6 are also called the working section 22. The entire unit 20 consisting of insert part 1 and handling part 7 has a longitudinal extension 27 that is greater by an extension factor than the longitudinal extension 26 of the insert part 1.

Figure 3 shows another textile tool 1 which is used in a sock fastening device with a shoulder part 1 as shown in Figure 4 shown, interacts. Figure 4 shows this shoulder part 1 with the shaft 3 and the tip 2. In the Figure 5 is again shown a textile tool 1 of the kind already seen in Figure 3 However, this is shown in Figure 5 The textile tool 1 shown is connected to the handling part 7 via an intact predetermined breaking point 9. The Figure 5 The handling part 7 shown consists mainly of its cross strut 8. The predetermined breaking point 9 was created by a circular punching 19 in the surrounding shaft area. This type of production of a predetermined breaking point is also efficient and therefore advantageous. In Figure 6 is again a textile tool 1 of the type of a shoulder piece, as already described by Figure 4 This textile tool 1 is also connected to a handling part 7. The respective predetermined breaking point 9 is also produced by means of a circular punching 19. The Figure 19 The textile tool 1 shown is similar to the textile tools 1 shown in the Figures 4 and 6 The textile tool in Figure 19 is connected to a handling part 7 via a predetermined breaking point 9, which was produced using a circular punch 19. However, the predetermined breaking point is located at the upper edge of the textile tool 1. The handling part 7 has a longitudinal extension that runs at least largely in the height direction x of the textile tool. It thus runs perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the textile tool.

In Figure 7 a tool holder 10 of a sock fastening device is shown. The tool holder 10 is partially provided with carrying parts 1, which Figures 1 and 2 One of these shoulder parts 1 is still attached to a Figure 7 not shown predetermined breaking point 9 connected to a handling part 7. In Figure 7 it can be seen that in particular the tool holder 10 of the sock closing device is not in the way when the handling part 7 is pivoted relative to its insert part 1, which is already inserted into the tool holder 10 and fixed there, in the width direction y and the longitudinal direction z of the same 1 in such a way that the predetermined breaking point 9 opens. The arrow 37 symbolizes the pivoting movement to which the handling part 7 is subjected in order to release the predetermined breaking point 9. Figure 16 shows the tool holder with sock closing device from Figure 7 in detail.

Figure 8 shows again the unit 20 consisting of a carrying part 1 and a handling part 7, which is already in Figure 2 shown. However, the carrying part 1 is enclosed by the packaging 11. The packaging 11 has an opening 12 which opens the packaging 11 towards the handling part 7. In Figure 9 the unit 20 is shown again, whereby this time a packaging 11 completely encloses the shoulder part 1 and partially the handling part 7. The opening 12 of the packaging 11 opens the packaging again in the direction of the longitudinal extension z of the shoulder part 1, in which the handling part 7 adjoins the shoulder part 1.

Figure 10 shows a similarly designed unit consisting of a carrying part 1 and a handling part 7 with a packaging 11, which is similar to the one already shown in Figure 9 shown packaging. In addition, the retaining lip 13 of the packaging 11 is shown. This engages the crossbar 8 of the shoulder part 1 and prevents the same from accidentally falling out of the packaging 11 through the opening 12. The packaging described in the above figures is more of a symbolic character, since packaging is usually used that packs a large number of textile tools. In principle, however, such packaging can accommodate units 20 made up of the insert part 1 and the handling part 7 in an equivalent manner to the Figures 8 , 9 and 10 shown individual packaging 11.

This in Figure 11 The insert part 1 shown is a knitting needle. It has a shaft 3, a tip 2, a hook 14, a tongue 15, a jaw 23, a stitch support 29 and a foot 21. The areas of the knitting needle 1 between its tip 2 or its hook 14 and the Stitch supports 29 can come into contact with the thread or stitch 6 during knitting operation and are therefore called working section 22. The distance 28 between the rear end 25 of the knitting needle 1 and the stitch support 29 therefore coincides in this example with the distance 28 between the working section 22 and the rear end 25 of the knitting needle 1. The knitting needle 1 is connected to the handling part 7 via a predetermined breaking point 9. The latter has a cross brace 8 at its end in the longitudinal direction z of the insert part 1. It should also be mentioned that the textile tool 1, which is designed as a knitting needle, extends between its front end 24 and its rear end 25 in the z direction and has a longitudinal extension 26 between these points. The entire unit 20 comprising insert part 1 and handling part 7 has a longitudinal extension 27 which is greater by an extension factor than the longitudinal extension 26 of the insert part 1.

In Figure 12 The same unit 20 is again made of a knitting needle 1 and an insert part 7 as in Figure 11 shown. Figure 12 However, this represents a situation that arises when inserting this unit 20 or the associated knitting needle 1 into a needle bed 16.

In Figure 12 For illustrative reasons, the needle bed 16 has only one groove-like channel 17 into which the knitting needle must be inserted in order to participate in the knitting operation. Needle beds of flat knitting machines and knitting cylinders of circular knitting machines, i.e. the typical receptacles or receiving devices of these textile tools and system parts in these textile machines, have a large number of such groove-like channels 17 in which knitting needles 1 are moved along their longitudinal direction z or the longitudinal direction of the groove-like channel. In Figure 12 a situation is shown in which the knitting needle 1 has already been largely inserted into the groove-like channel 17 by a movement in its negative longitudinal direction z, i.e. up to just before the predetermined breaking point 9. In this situation, the handling part 7, which is again equipped with a cross brace 8, projects beyond the opening 18 of the needle bed 16. It is advantageous if neither the needle bed nor other parts of the machine prevent the operator from moving the handling part 7, for example in the width direction y of the knitting needle 1. Such a movement leads to a rotation of the handling part 7 about the axis of the predetermined breaking point 9, since the knitting needle 1 is held in the channel 17 against this movement. The predetermined breaking point 9 can be released by this movement.

Figure 12 shows an example of the predetermined breaking point 9 being opened while an insert part (textile tool or system part) is located in a channel 17 in which it is preferably not fixed in the longitudinal direction z. In the Figure 7 , in which the partially equipped tool holder of a sock closing device is shown, the respective textile tools 1 are already fixed in their holder when the predetermined breaking point 9 is opened.

Figure 17 concerns a needle 1 which corresponds to the needles 1 of Figure 11 and 12 but in which the handling part 7 is provided at a different location, namely at the upper edge of the needle 1. Needles are textile tools in the sense of this publication and textile tools in turn fall under the generic term "insert parts". The Figure 17 shows a needle, thus a textile tool and thus also an insert part 1, which has its longitudinal extension in the z-direction, while the longitudinal extension of the handling part runs in the positive x direction - i.e. in the height direction of the textile tool. This arrangement of the longitudinal axis of these two parts of the unit 20 consisting of insert part 1 (here textile tool) and its handling part 7 has particular advantages for needles, sinkers or system parts that are used in ribs and knitting cylinders (e.g. of circular knitting machines): The machine operator who equips these components can insert the relevant insert part 1 "from above" into a needle channel 17, so that a situation arises as in the Figure 18 is shown: The Figure 18 shows a knitting needle 1 which is inserted into a groove-like channel 17 of a needle bed 16 (which can be in the form of a dial or a knitting cylinder). In this situation, the upwardly pointing handling part 7 can be separated from the needle 1 by a pivoting movement in the x and y directions ("opening or separating the predetermined breaking point 9"). However, since the predetermined breaking point 9 is located below the upper edge of the needle channel 17, the pivoting movement mentioned can be used to release the predetermined breaking point 9, which is in Figure 7 symbolized by the double arrow 31, in the situation in Figure 18 However, it is advantageous if the predetermined breaking point 9 is above or at least approximately at the same height as the upper edge of the needle channel 17 during the pivoting movement. The machine operator can also avoid such a situation in an embodiment as in Figure 18 shown by interrupting the insertion movement and separating the predetermined breaking point shortly before or when the predetermined breaking point 9 reaches the height of the groove-like channel 17.

As already mentioned above, it is also advantageous for all embodiments of the invention with a handling part 7 that points upwards if the position of the predetermined breaking point 9 in the unit comprising the handling part 7 and the insert part 1 and the upper edge of the groove-like channel 17 are adjusted to one another in such a way that the predetermined breaking point 9 in its insertion position in the groove-like channel 17 has the same height as the upper edge of the groove-like channel 17 or protrudes above it. In the latter case, it must be avoided that the part of the predetermined breaking point 9 remaining on the insert part 1 collides with parts of the textile machine, with its lock parts, during operation of the textile machine, which can be done by appropriately coordinating the textile machine parts and the dimensions of the unit 20 comprising the insert part 1 and the handling part 7. This can also be done by the predetermined breaking point 9 being at a height x that is a certain amount below the upper end of the foot or feet 21 of the insert part 1. Alternatively or additionally, the predetermined breaking point 9 can be provided on a foot 21.

Figure 13 shows a relatively clear example of the function of a system part 1, which is in the US 4 466 762 B and which was already mentioned at the beginning. The system part 1 (here generic term) of the Figure 13 is a selection part (here a sub-term). In the above-mentioned publication, this selection part is called "jack" and is in the Figure 1 marked with the reference symbol "SCH". In the Figure 13 In the present publication, this selection part is in the role of the relevant insert part and bears the reference number 1. This selection part 1 extends, similar to the textile tools shown above, mainly in its longitudinal direction z between its front end 24 and its rear end 25. The longitudinal extension of this system part is also shown in the Figure 13 with the reference number 26. It has feet 21 (English butts) to which force can be transmitted during knitting operation, e.g. from cam parts. The feet 21 of the system part 1 thus simultaneously have the function of working sections 34 for absorbing the force of a system part. The selection part 1 shown - as is typical for selection parts of knitting machines - passes on the absorbed force largely along the needle channel and thus along its longitudinal direction z:

In Figure 13 In addition to the selection part 1, the further system part 31 and the further needle 30 are shown in the sequence that they have in the knitting operation within the needle channel. Therefore, the selection part 1 initially transmits the force absorbed by its feet 21 or its working section for force absorption 34 via the Working section for force transmission 33, which is synonymous with its front end 24, to the further system part 31, which in turn transmits it to the needle 30. In the present case, an indirect force transmission takes place from the selection part 1 to the needle 30, which is a textile tool in the sense of the present document. System parts according to the present document thus transmit force or torque directly or indirectly to textile tools. An indirect force transmission from a first system part to a textile tool can take place through a further system part 31 or through a plurality of further system parts 31, without the first system part 1 losing its characteristic of being a "system part" in the sense of the present document. In analogy to the use of the terms system part, textile tool and insert part, the further system part 31 and the further needle 30 could also be referred to as a further insert part 36 (generic term). The additional needle 30 also falls under the generic term additional textile tool 30.

Figure 14 shows the selection part 1 in its delivery state, in which it is connected via an intact, not yet loosened predetermined breaking point 9 to the handling part 7, which in turn consists of the cross strut 8 and the parallel part 32 of the handling part 7.

Figure 15 shows the further system part 31 from Figure 13 . Figure 15 clarifies that the system part 31 with its rear end 25 also has a working section 34 for force or torque absorption. The system part 31 is also involved in the selection of the knitting needles 30 of the circular knitting machine according to the US 4 466 762 B by transmitting the absorbed force along the needle channel with its front end 24, which is also the working section for force transmission, to the needle 30 from Figure 13 It should be added that the inclined part 35 of the further system part 31 can also belong to the working section for power transmission 33. For this reason, the working section for power transmission 33 is in Figure 15 represented by a curly bracket spanning sections 24 and 35.
