ABSTRACT:
An improved needle for use in knitting machines is disclosed herein. The improved needle can operate at higher speeds than prior art needles without undue needle breakage. The needles are of the type which have a hook and latch at one end, a shaft extending from the hook and a needle foot protruding outwardly from the shaft. The foot is adapted to ride in a needle foot guide channel which causes the needle to move in an axial direction. The improved needle has a shoe covering at least a portion of the needle foot. The shoe is fabricated from a material which has a shear modulus of at least one million pounds per square inch and a loss tangent greater than 0.01. The shoe may be fabricated from a metal or a metal-elastomer composite.
