Abstract
A device for clamping and guiding crocheting needles for a crocheting machine. On the one hand a clamping device for the crocheting needles and on the other hand a knock-over comb are to be created, which permit a very fine spacing. To this end, in the bottom part (27) and in the clamping cover (29) of a clamping device (12), opposite, straight needle beds (73, 74) are arranged closely together. The needle beds (73, 74) have wall surfaces that are inclined in a V-shape. A knock-over comb (20, 80) fixed to the machine has upwardly projecting teeth (86) for the crocheting needles. The spacing of the needle beds and guide elements is at least 12, in particular 14 per centimeter of machine width. The holding bar (23) fixed to the machine and the bottom part (27) of the clamping device (12) have recesses, in particular chambers (77, 76) that face one another, which permit the clamping device to move too close to the teeth (86).
