ABSTRACT:
A slider needle for knitting machines, particularly flat knitting machines, omprises a needle body with needle hook and at least one needle butt, and a slider equipped with slider foot and mounted to be displaceable relative to the needle body. In order to ensure trouble-free and reliable separation of the old stitches from newly laid yarn a short swivel detent is mounted on the needle body behind the needle hook. The length and shape of this swivel element is chosen so that in the normal position of the needle, with the needle hook closed by the slider, the swivel detent is masked by the slider in the vertical direction, while when the needle hook is open the swivel detent projects proud of the needle body and above the slider in both its end positions.
