Patent attributes
A system component (1) for a knitting system is composed of a body (3) with butt (18), which projects outward from the narrow side (16) of the body (3). According to a first advantageous embodiment of the invention, the butt (18) is positioned inclined or at an angle to the body (3). A corresponding bending line extends in longitudinal or movement direction of the body (3). The angle (α) is thus defined in an imaginary plane (E) that intersects the body (3) in transverse direction. As a result of this measure, the butt (18) can also be adjusted relatively precisely at a right angle to the cam movement if the system component (1) along with it the body (3) is arranged somewhat inclined inside a corresponding guide slot (4) of a bed (5), wherein the angle α then compensates for the tilting. A line-type contact between the butt (18) and the guide track (7) is achieved, which reduces wear. Supplementary or alternatively thereto, the butt (18) is provided with thickened areas (29, 30) along its edges (19, 20), which also function to reduce wear.
