Abstract

There is provided a slider needle for warp knitting machines, comprising a slider. The slider is guided by the opposing side walls of a slot cut in the front face of a needle shaft. The opening of the slot carrying the slider, opposite the slot base, is widened or flared in such a manner that there is provided such a separation as to prevent contact between the slider and the forward portion of the slot wall. Thus, abrasion of the forward face into sharp edges which could negatively affect the stitch threads is thereby avoided.
