Abstract

A tool for a stitch forming machine which includes a bed and a plurality of guide grooves disposed in the bed, the tool including a shank slidably disposed in one of the guide grooves. The shank includes an end having a stitch forming device, and has a butt and at least two bends spaced from one another along a longitudinal direction of the shank. The bends are oriented toward the same side of the shank and are disposed in a region of the shank which, during sliding movement of the shank during operation of the knitting machine, remains within the guide groove.
