Abstract

A module for textile machines has a plurality of tools (2) with retention portions (6). The retention portions are grasped in a plastic body (7), which reaches out or embraces the retention portions (6) at one or more recesses (15, 27, 28). The plastic body serves to fix the tools (2) positionally correctly with respect to one another. The positioning of the tools (2) with respective to a dividing sinker (11), however, is effected by direct contact between the retention portions (6) and the dividing sinker (11). By filling the gaplike interstices, which exist between the retention portions, with plastic, a compact yet lightweight retention region (4) for the module (1) is obtained.
