  • load-bearing capacity of the connection due to bending moments or torsion can be influenced not only by the adhesive adhesion at the joints and their total area, but also by their arrangement. Junctions distributed over the area of the system part, eg the edge or individual points, result in a higher load capacity due to bending or torsion than a narrowly limited area of the same size.
  • An advantageous Compound that withstands the tensile forces relatively well, but can already be separated by a relatively low bending or torsional moment, consists of a single, relatively large joint.

This is the connection with the surface of one of the system parts, because the adhesion is weaker there than on the surface of the spacer or as the cohesion within the adhesive mass.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung aus Maschinenelementen, insbesondere Nadeln für maschenbildende Maschinen, in Form eines Pakets.The invention relates to an arrangement of machine elements, in particular needles for stitch-forming machines, in the form of a package.

Strickmaschinen weisen Stricksysteme auf, zu denen mehrere Teile, sogenannte Systemteile, insbesondere Nadeln gehören. Jede Strickmaschine weist dabei eine große Anzahl gleicher Systemteile auf. Solche Systemteile, wie z.B. Nadeln oder sonstige Strickwerkzeuge, sind als Ersatz- oder Verschleißteile zu beschaffen und bereitzuhalten, um bedarfsweise eingesetzt zu werden. Für die Erstausrüstung und den Ersatzbedarf werden die Systemteile in größeren Stückzahlen versandt. Dazu werden die Systemteile z.B. in Papiertüten verpackt.Knitting machines have knitting systems, which include several parts, so-called system parts, especially needles. Each knitting machine has a large number of identical system parts. Such system parts, such as needles or other knitting tools are as spare or wear parts to procure and hold ready to be used as needed. For the original equipment and the replacement requirement, the system parts are shipped in larger quantities. For this purpose, the system parts are packed eg in paper bags.

Ein solches Systemteil kann ein- oder mehrteilig aufgebaut sein. Z.B. ist aus der DE 101 48 196 eine Nadel für maschenbildende Maschinen bekannt, die aus einem Körper und einem Auswahlteil besteht. Beide Elemente sind stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden, z.B. verklebt. Die Verbindung ist gerade haltbar genug, um beide Elemente handhabbar zusammenzuhalten. Dadurch fallen sie nicht auseinander und können zusammen sehr einfach in ein Nadelbett eingesetzt werden. Die Verbindung ist jedoch so schwach, dass sie im Betrieb bei der ersten Bewegung des Auswahlteils gegenüber dem Systemteilkörper getrennt wird und die Funktion der Nadel anschließend nicht mehr stört. Auch diese Nadeln werden z.B. gebündelt in Papiertüten verpackt.Such a system part can be constructed in one or more parts. For example, is from the DE 101 48 196 a needle for knitting machines is known, which consists of a body and a selection part. Both elements are materially interconnected, eg glued. The compound is just durable enough to hold both elements together in a manageable way. As a result, they do not fall apart and together can be easily inserted into a needle bed. However, the connection is so weak that it is separated in operation during the first movement of the selection part relative to the system part body and then no longer disturb the function of the needle. These needles are bundled packed in paper bags, for example.

Bei der Wartung von Strickmaschinen oder anderweitigen maschenbildenden Maschinen sind häufig die in größerer Anzahl vorhandenen Strickwerkzeuge oder andere Systemteile durch neue zu ersetzen.In the maintenance of knitting machines or other stitch forming machines often the existing in larger numbers knitting tools or other system parts are replaced by new ones.

Zur Aufbewahrung und Handhabung einer Anzahl von Nadeln, z.B. für Strickmaschinen, ist aus DE-A-1 103 233 eine Leiste bekannt, die eine plastische Masse enthält. Ein Kopf oder Fuß jeder Nadel wird in die Masse hineingespießt oder eingegossen, um in einer zu seiner Form passenden Vertiefung Halt zu finden.For storing and handling a number of needles, eg for knitting machines, is off DE-A-1 103 233 a bar known that contains a plastic mass. A head or foot of each needle is milled or poured into the mass to find support in a well-fitting depression.

Aus AT-B-85 802 ist eine Metallöse bekannt, die eine Anzahl nebeneinanderliegender Nadeln umfasst und zusammenhält. Die Wandungen der Öse weisen Rillen zur Aufnahme der einzelnen Nadeln auf und sind federnd ausgeführt.Out AT-B-85,802 For example, a metal eyelet is known that includes and holds together a number of adjacent needles. The walls of the eyelet have grooves for receiving the individual needles and are designed to be resilient.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Handhabbarkeit einer Vielzahl von Systemteilen, insbesondere Nadeln für maschenbildende Maschinen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Neu- oder Ersatzbestückung von Maschinen zu verbessern.It is an object of the invention to improve the handling of a variety of system parts, especially needles for stitch forming machines, especially with regard to the new or replacement equipment of machines.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Paket von Systemteilen gelöst, das die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 aufweist:

  • Das erfindungsgemäße Paket besteht aus einer Vielzahl von länglichen, vorzugsweise identischen Systemteilen, insbesondere Nadeln für maschenbildende Maschinen. Diese weisen meist zwei einander gegenüber liegende, im Wesentlichen ebene Seiten auf.
This object is achieved with a package of system parts having the features of claim 1:
  • The inventive package consists of a variety of elongated, preferably identical system parts, in particular needles for stitch-forming machines. These usually have two mutually opposite, substantially flat sides.

Die Haltbarkeit der stoffschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen den Systemteilen, ist so zu bemessen, dass das Paket bei einfacher Handhabung, z.B. durch Anheben, nicht auseinanderfällt. Die schwächste Verbindungen zwischen einer Vielzahl von benachbarten Systemteilen hält den bei der Handhabung üblicherweise auftreten Kräften stand. Andererseits müssen beim Zerlegen des Pakets alle Verbindungen zwischen benachbarten Systemteilen auf einfache Art vorzugsweise von Hand getrennt werden können, ohne die Systemteile zu beschädigen. Die stärkste Verbindung zwischen benachbarten Systemteilen kann daher durch Anwendung einer Kraft getrennt werden, die so gering ist, dass es beim Vorgang des Zerlegens des Pakets nicht zu Beschädigungen der Systemteile kommt.The durability of the cohesive connection between the system parts, is to be dimensioned so that the package with ease of use, e.g. by lifting, not falling apart. The weakest connections between a plurality of adjacent system parts withstand the forces usually encountered during handling. On the other hand, when disassembling the package, all connections between adjacent system parts must be easily separated, preferably by hand, without damaging the system parts. Therefore, the strongest connection between adjacent system parts can be separated by applying a force that is so small that damage to the system parts does not occur during the process of disassembling the package.

Die Haltbarkeit der Verbindung hängt einerseits von der Wahl des Verbindungsmaterials und seiner adhäsiven Haftung an den Verbindungsstellen, andererseits von der Größe und Lage der Verbindungsstellen ab. Die Verbindungsstelle kann die gesamte Flachseite des Systemteils oder Teile davon, z.B. den Rand, einen zusammenhängenden Bereich oder mehrere über die gesamte Flachseite verteilte Teilflächen umfassen. Die Belastbarkeit der Verbindung durch Biegemomente oder Torsion kann dagegen nicht nur von der adhäsiven Haftung an den Verbindungsstellen und deren Gesamtfläche, sondern auch von ihrer Anordnung beeinflusst werden. Weit über die Fläche des Systemteils verteilte Verbindungsstellen, z.B. der Rand oder einzelne Punkte, ergeben eine höhere Belastbarkeit durch Biegung oder Torsion als eine eng begrenzte Fläche gleicher Größe. Eine vorteilhafte Verbindung, die Zugkräften relativ gut standhält, aber bereits durch ein relativ geringes Biege- oder Torsionsmoment getrennt werden kann, besteht aus einer einzigen, relativ großen Verbindungsstelle. Diese ist vorzugsweise an einer relativ unempfindlichen Stelle, z.B. im Zentrum einer Flachseite des Systemteils angeordnet.The durability of the connection depends on the one hand on the choice of the connecting material and its adhesive adhesion to the joints, on the other hand on the size and location of the joints. The connection point may comprise the entire flat side of the system part or parts thereof, eg the edge, a contiguous region or several partial surfaces distributed over the entire flat side. In contrast, the load-bearing capacity of the connection due to bending moments or torsion can be influenced not only by the adhesive adhesion at the joints and their total area, but also by their arrangement. Junctions distributed over the area of the system part, eg the edge or individual points, result in a higher load capacity due to bending or torsion than a narrowly limited area of the same size. An advantageous Compound that withstands the tensile forces relatively well, but can already be separated by a relatively low bending or torsional moment, consists of a single, relatively large joint. This is preferably arranged at a relatively insensitive point, for example in the center of a flat side of the system part.

Eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen benachbarten Systemteilen kann z.B. durch Klebstoff oder Lack hergestellt werden. Der Klebstoff oder Lack ist vorzugsweise so eingestellt, dass er nach dem Trocknen oder Aushärten seine Klebrigkeit verliert und auch keine Haftwirkung mehr hat, so dass die bei der Trennung der Verbindung evtl. entstehenden Bruchflächen nicht haften, wenn sie miteinander oder mit anderen Gegenständen, insbesondere dem zu verarbeitenden Faden oder den Wänden der Führungskanäle einer maschenbildenden Maschine in Berührung kommen.A material connection between adjacent system parts can e.g. be made by adhesive or varnish. The adhesive or lacquer is preferably adjusted so that it loses its tackiness after drying or curing and also no longer has an adhesive effect, so that the fracture surfaces which may arise during the separation of the connection do not adhere to each other or to other objects, in particular come to be processed thread or the walls of the guide channels of a stitch forming machine into contact.

Vorzugsweise wird ein Lack oder Klebstoff gewählt, dessen Haftung durch Adhäsion an den Verbindungsstellen der Oberfläche des zumeist aus Metall bestehenden Systemteils erheblich geringer ist als die Kohäsion innerhalb des Lacks oder Klebstoffs. Dadurch wird die Verbindung beim Zerlegen der Versandeinheit zumeist an einer der Verbindungsstellen getrennt, wodurch eines der beiden getrennten Systemteile bereits zumindest nahezu frei von Lack- oder Klebstoffresten ist, während die Lack- oder Klebstoffmasse nahezu vollständig an dem zweiten Systemteil haftet. Eine geringe Haftung an der Verbindungsstelle erleichtert in einem weiteren Schritt auch das Entfernen der Lack- oder Klebstoffmasse von dem zweiten Systemteil, von dem die Reste im Idealfall in einem Stück abgetrennt werden können.Preferably, a lacquer or adhesive is chosen, the adhesion of which is considerably lower than the cohesion within the lacquer or adhesive due to adhesion at the junctions of the surface of the metal part of the system. As a result, the connection is usually separated at disassembly of the shipping unit at one of the connection points, whereby one of the two separate system parts is already at least almost free of paint or adhesive residues, while the paint or adhesive composition adheres almost completely to the second part of the system. A low adhesion at the connection point facilitates in a further step also the removal of the paint or adhesive compound from the second system part, from which the residues can ideally be cut off in one piece.

Es ist sowohl möglich, Klebstoffe oder Lacke einzusetzen, die in Maschinenöl generell löslich oder auch generell unlöslich sind. Lösliche Lacke oder Klebstoffe haben den Vorteil, dass an den Systemteilen vorhandene Rückstände von dem Maschinenöl entfernt werden. Unlösliche Lacke oder Klebstoffe haben den Vorteil, das Maschinenöl nicht zu verändern. Es können jedoch auch Klebstoffe oder Lacke eingesetzt werden, die in speziellen Maschinenölen lösbar und in anderen wiederum nicht lösbar sind.It is possible to use adhesives or lacquers that are generally soluble in machine oil or generally insoluble. Soluble lacquers or adhesives have the advantage that residues on the system parts are removed from the machine oil. Insoluble paints or adhesives have the advantage of not changing the machine oil. However, it is also possible to use adhesives or lacquers which are soluble in special machine oils and, in turn, insoluble in others.

Die Systemteile weis zwei einander gegenüberliegende, im Wesentlichen ebene Flachseiten auf, die mit den Flachseiten der benachbarten Systemteile stoffschlüssig verbunden sind. Die Flachseiten sind Funktionsflächen, die die Strickmaschinennadeln im Nadelkanal führen. Die Strickmaschinennadeln laufen hier mit geringem Spiel. Vor dem Einsetzen der Strickmaschinennadeln dienen die Flachseiten aber der temporären stoffschlüssigen Zusammenfassung der Strickmaschinennadeln zu einem Paket. Die Systemteile eines Pakets sind vorzugsweise gleich ausgerichtet und nebeneinander entlang einer Raumrichtung angeordnet, die senkrecht zu den Flachseiten steht. Die Flachseiten benachbarter Systemteile liegen einander gegenüber und sind an mindestens einer Verbindungsstelle auf den einander gegenüberliegenden Flachseiten durch das Verbindungsmittel miteinander verbunden.The system parts have two mutually opposite, substantially flat flat sides, which are materially connected to the flat sides of the adjacent system parts. The flat sides are functional surfaces that guide the knitting machine needles in the needle channel. The knitting machine needles run here with little play. Before inserting the knitting machine needles, the flat sides but serve the temporary cohesive summary of the knitting machine needles to a package. The system parts of a package are preferably aligned and arranged side by side along a spatial direction which is perpendicular to the flat sides. The flat sides of adjacent system parts lie opposite one another and are connected to one another on at least one connection point on the opposite flat sides by the connecting means.

Die Flachseiten der Systemteile können allein durch ein zwischen ihnen angeordnetes Verbindungsmittel getrennt sein, wobei sie von diesem auf geringem Abstand gehalten werden und einander in Teilbereichen berühren können. Die stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen zwei Systemteilen kann auch über einen Abstandhalter hinweg hergestellt sein, der zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Flachseiten von zwei benachbarten Systemteilen angeordnet ist und in der gleichen, zuvor beschriebenen Art wie Systemteile untereinander mit den benachbarten Systemteilen verbunden sein kann. Der Abstandhalter besteht vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, z.B. in Gestalt eines Plättchen, kann aber auch aus anderem Material, z.B. Metall bestehen. Seine Größe ist vorzugsweise so bemessen, dass der sich aus seinem Einbau ergebende Abstand benachbarter Systemteile einer vorbestimmten Teilung entspricht, die z.B. mit der Teilung des Nadelzylinders einer Strickmaschine übereinstimmt. Auf diese Weise kann das Einsetzen einer Vielzahl von Nadeln in die Nadelkanäle vereinfacht und beschleunigt werden.The flat sides of the system parts can be separated only by a connecting means arranged between them, wherein they are held by the latter at a small distance and can touch each other in partial areas. The cohesive connection between two system parts can also be made across a spacer which, between the opposite flat sides of two adjacent system parts is arranged and in the same manner described above as system parts can be interconnected with the adjacent system parts. The spacer is preferably made of plastic, for example in the form of a small plate, but may also consist of other material, such as metal. Its size is preferably such that the resulting from its installation spacing of adjacent system parts corresponds to a predetermined pitch, for example, coincides with the pitch of the needle cylinder of a knitting machine. In this way, the insertion of a plurality of needles in the needle channels can be simplified and accelerated.

Ein zwischen benachbarten Systemteilen angeordneter Abstandhalter kann auch den Vorgang des Ablösens der Klebstoffreste weiter vereinfachen. Dazu besteht der Abstandhalter vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, wobei ein Klebstoff oder Lack gewählt wird, der z.B. durch Anlösen der Oberfläche des Abstandhalters mit diesem eine erheblich festere Verbindung eingeht als mit der zumeist aus Metall bestehenden Oberfläche des Systemteils. Wird die Verbindung zwischen zwei benachbarten Systemteilen getrennt, so erfolgt die Trennung an der schwächsten Stelle. Das ist dann die Verbindung mit der Oberfläche eines der Systemteile, weil die Haftung dort schwächer ist als an der Oberfläche des Abstandhalters bzw. als die Kohäsion innerhalb der Klebstoffmasse. In einem weiteren Schritt wird der Abstandhalter von dem zweiten Systemteil getrennt, wobei die Trennung wiederum entlang der Oberfläche des Systemteils erfolgt. Die Versandeinheit wird dadurch in Systemteile zerlegt, an denen auf beiden Seiten kein Klebstoff oder Lack haftet, und Abstandhalter, an denen auf beiden Seiten der weitaus größte oder gesamte Teil des Klebstoffs oder Lacks der jeweiligen Verbindungsstelle haftet. Auf diese Weise sind die Systemteile allein durch das Entfernen der relativ handlichen Abstandhalter zumindest weitgehend klebstofffrei, ohne dass in einem aufwendigeren Arbeitsschritt Klebstoffreste von den Systemteilen entfernt werden müssen.A spacer disposed between adjacent system parts may also further facilitate the process of releasing the adhesive remnants. For this purpose, the spacer is preferably made of plastic, wherein an adhesive or paint is selected, for example, by solving the surface of the spacer with this a much firmer connection is received as with the usually made of metal surface of the system part. If the connection between two adjacent system parts is separated, the separation takes place at the weakest point. This is the connection with the surface of one of the system parts, because the adhesion is weaker there than on the surface of the spacer or as the cohesion within the adhesive mass. In a further step, the spacer is separated from the second system part, wherein the separation in turn takes place along the surface of the system part. The shipping unit is thereby disassembled into system parts to which no adhesive or varnish adheres on both sides, and spacers to which adheres by far the greatest or total part of the adhesive or varnish of the respective joint on both sides. In this way, the system parts are alone by removing the relative handy spacers at least largely adhesive-free, without having to be removed from the system parts in a more complex process glue residues.

Um den Vorgang des Trennens der Versandeinheit und des Ablösens der Abstandhalter zu erleichtern, können diese einen aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den benachbarten Systemteilen herausragenden Griffabschnitt aufweisen, der dem Benutzer als Ansatzstelle für einen manuellen Zugriff oder für ein Werkzeug, z.B. eine Zange oder eine Pinzette dient. Als Griff in diesem Sinne kann nicht nur ein speziell zu diesem Zweck geformter Abschnitt des Abstandhalters vorgesehen sein. Es ist auch möglich und vorteilhaft, ein z.B. quaderförmiges Kunststoffplättchen zu verwenden, das so zwischen den benachbarten Systemteilen angeordnet ist, dass ein Teil von ihm aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Systemteilen herausragt und den zum Entfernen des Plättchens erwünschten Ansatzpunkt für Werkzeuge bietet.To facilitate the process of separating the shipping unit and detaching the spacers, they may include a handle portion protruding from the space between the adjacent parts of the system, which may be used by the user as a manual access point or tool, e.g. a pair of pliers or tweezers serves. As a handle in this sense, not only a specially shaped for this purpose portion of the spacer may be provided. It is also possible and advantageous to use e.g. To use cuboidal plastic plate, which is arranged between the adjacent system parts, that a part of it protrudes from the space between the two system parts and provides the desired for removal of the wafer insertion point for tools.

Eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen einer Vielzahl von Systemteilen kann auch durch gemeinsame Verbindungselemente hergestellt sein, die stoffschlüssig mit mehreren Systemteilen verbunden sind. Vorzugsweise ist ein einziges gemeinsames Verbindungselement mit allen Systemteilen der Versandeinheit verbunden. Jedes Systemteil kann vorzugsweise auf einer zwischen den Flachseiten angeordneten umlaufenden Umfangsfläche eine Verbindungsstelle aufweisen, die stoffschlüssig mit dem gemeinsamen Verbindungselement verbunden ist. Das gemeinsame Verbindungselement kann eine vorzugsweise selbstklebende Folie sein, die mit einer Vielzahl von Systemteilen verbunden ist. Dabei ist es auch möglich, Abstandhalter zwischen benachbarten Systemteilen anzuordnen und sowohl die Systemteile als auch die Abstandhalter mit dem gemeinsamen Verbindungselement zu verbinden.A cohesive connection between a plurality of system parts can also be produced by common connecting elements, which are materially connected to a plurality of system parts. Preferably, a single common connection element is connected to all system parts of the shipping unit. Each system part can preferably have on a circumferential surface arranged between the flat sides a connection point, which is materially connected to the common connection element. The common connection element may be a preferably self-adhesive film which is connected to a plurality of system parts. It is also possible to arrange spacers between adjacent system parts and both the system parts and the spacers with the common Connecting connecting element.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Systemteil am Beispiel einer Nadel 2 für Strickmaschinen veranschaulicht. Jede Nadel weist einen flachen Nadelkörper 15 mit einem Führungsteil 16 und einem Schaft 17 auf, an dessen freiem Ende 18 ein Haken 19 ausgebildet ist. Die Flachseiten des Führungsteils 16, die die Seiten 3, 4 bilden werden von keinen Teilen überragt. An dem Führungsteil 16 ist ein Fuß 21 ausgebildet, dessen Flachseiten 22, 23 in gemeinsamen Ebenen mit den Seiten 3, 4 liegen.In Fig. 1 a system part is illustrated using the example of a needle 2 for knitting machines. Each needle has a flat needle body 15 with a guide member 16 and a shaft 17, at its free end 18, a hook 19 is formed. The flat sides of the guide part 16, which form the sides 3, 4 are not surmounted by any parts. On the guide member 16, a foot 21 is formed, the flat sides 22, 23 lie in common planes with the sides 3, 4.

In Fig. 2 und 3 ist eine Versandeinheit 1 aus mehreren gleichartigen Nadeln 2 dargestellt. Dabei sind alle Nadeln 2 in einer Reihe nebeneinander angeordnet und gleich ausgerichtet, wobei die Seiten 3, 4 benachbarter Nadeln 2 aufeinander zu weisen. Die Nadeln 2 sind relativ zueinander im Wesentlichen entlang einer Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln 2 angeordnet. Die benachbarten Nadeln 2 sind an jeweils zwei Verbindungsstellen 6 auf den Seiten 3, 4 jeder Nadel, an der sich als Verbindungsmaterial 7 ein Fixierlack 27 befindet, miteinander verklebt (Fig. 4). Die Nadeln 2 sind nur durch eine dünne Schicht des Fixierlacks 27 an der Verbindungsstelle 6 sowie einen Luftspalt ähnlicher Breite an den übrigen Stellen voneinander getrennt. Die Nadeln 2 können sich stellenweise auch berühren.In FIGS. 2 and 3 a shipping unit 1 of several similar needles 2 is shown. In this case, all the needles 2 are arranged in a row next to each other and aligned, with the sides 3, 4 of adjacent needles 2 facing each other. The needles 2 are arranged relative to each other substantially along a spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 of the needles 2. The adjacent needles 2 are glued to each other at two connection points 6 on the sides 3, 4 of each needle, on which there is a fixing lacquer 27 as the connecting material 7 ( Fig. 4 ). The needles 2 are separated from each other only by a thin layer of Fixierlacks 27 at the junction 6 and an air gap of similar width at the remaining locations. The needles 2 may also touch in places.

Um die Nadeln 2 einer Versandeinheit 1 in einer Strickmaschine einsetzen zu können, müssen sie voneinander getrennt werden. Dazu wird die Verbindung zwischen je zwei benachbarten Nadeln 2 der Versandeinheit 1 an der Verbindungsstelle 6 durch manuelle Kraftanwendung auf Zug, Biegung oder Torsion so stark belastet, dass sich die Nadeln 2 voneinander lösen. Beim Vorgang des Trennens können die zu trennenden Teile der Versandeinheit in die Hand genommen oder mit dem Fingernagel oder einem Werkzeug, z.B. Zange oder Pinzette, gegriffen werden. Es ist auch möglich, die Versandeinheit zunächst in einer Haltevorrichtung, z.B. einem Schraubstock, zu fixieren, um anschließend die Nadeln 2 einzeln zu entfernen. Die einzelnen Nadeln werden in die Führungskanäle 24 der Strickmaschine eingesetzt.In order to use the needles 2 a shipping unit 1 in a knitting machine, they must be separated from each other. For this purpose, the connection between each two adjacent needles 2 of the shipping unit 1 at the connection point 6 by manual application of force to train, bending or torsion so strong burden that the needles 2 separate from each other. In the process of separating the parts of the shipping unit to be separated can be taken in the hand or with a fingernail or a tool, such as forceps or tweezers, are used. It is also possible to first fix the shipping unit in a holding device, such as a vise, to subsequently remove the needles 2 individually. The individual needles are inserted into the guide channels 24 of the knitting machine.

Beim Trennen der Verbindungen entsteht eine im Wesentlichen reine Zugbeanspruchung durch Anwendung einer Zugkraft senkrecht zu den durch die Seiten 3, 4 gegebenen Ebenen im Bereich der Verbindungsstellen 6. Eine Biegebeanspruchung der Verbindungsstellen 6 wird durch Anwendung eines Moments zwischen zwei benachbarten Nadeln 2 um eine Drehachse, die im Wesentlichen in der Ebene der miteinander verklebten Seiten 3, 4 der beiden Nadeln 2 liegt, erreicht. Das Biegemoment bewirkt, dass ein Teil der Verbindungsstellen 6 zwischen den beiden Nadeln auf Druck und ein anderer Teil auf Zug belastet wird. An den auf Zug belasteten Stellen der Verbindungsstellen 6 kommt es zur Trennung der Verbindung, sobald die dort auftretenden Kräfte groß genug sind. Durch Hebelwirkung können die auftretenden Kräfte verstärkt werden, wenn die Verbindungsstelle 6 und der Ansatzpunkt der zum Trennen der Verbindung aufgewandten Kraft auseinander fallen. Eine nur im Bereich des Fußes 21 der Nadel 2 liegende Verbindungsstelle kann z.B. durch eine relativ geringe Kraft getrennt werden, die im Bereich des entfernteren Endes 26 des Führungsteils 16 ansetzt und zwei benachbarte Nadeln 2 in Richtung einer Raumrichtung senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 auseinander zieht. Die Verbindungsstelle 6 und die Angriffspunkte der zum Trennen der Verbindungen aufgewandten Kräfte befinden sich vorzugsweise an dem breiteren, relativ unempfindlichen Führungsteil 16 der Nadel 2, um Beschädigungen der Nadel durch die einwirkenden Kräfte zu verhindern.When disconnecting, a substantially pure tensile stress arises by applying a tensile force perpendicular to the planes given by the sides 3, 4 in the region of the connection points 6. A bending stress of the connection points 6 is achieved by applying a moment between two adjacent needles 2 about an axis of rotation, which lies substantially in the plane of the sides 3, 4 of the two needles 2 glued together. The bending moment causes a part of the connection points 6 between the two needles to be subjected to pressure and another part to train. At the points loaded on train points of connection 6, it comes to the separation of the compound as soon as the forces occurring there are large enough. By leveraging the forces can be amplified when the junction 6 and the starting point of the force used to disconnect the force fall apart. A connection point located only in the region of the foot 21 of the needle 2 can be separated, for example, by a relatively small force which attaches in the region of the distal end 26 of the guide part 16 and two adjacent needles 2 in the direction of a spatial direction perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 draws. The connection point 6 and the points of application of the forces used to separate the connections are preferably located on the wider, relatively insensitive guide part 16 of the needle 2 in order to prevent damage to the needle by the forces acting on it.

Die Trennung der Verbindungen kann vorteilhafterweise auch durch Torsion erfolgen. Dabei wird zwischen zwei benachbarten Nadeln 2 ein Moment angewandt, dessen Drehachse im Wesentlichen in der Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 verläuft. Durch ihre flache Form können die Nadeln wesentlich größeren Momenten um eine Drehachse in der Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 als um eine Drehachse in einer Raumrichtung entlang den Seiten 3, 4 standhalten. Die Verbindungsstellen 6 werden dabei auf Scherung beansprucht, wobei die Belastung mit zunehmendem Abstand von der Drehachse zunimmt und ausreicht, die Verbindung zu lösen. Vorteilhafterweise lassen sich durch Hebelwirkung die Kräfte verstärken, indem die Verbindungsstelle 6 relativ kompakt in einem relativ widerstandsfähigen, Abschnitt der Nadel, z.B. dem Fuß 21 liegt und die zur Erzeugung des Torsionsmoments erforderlichen Kräfte relativ weit entfernt ansetzen, z.B. im entfernteren Ende 26 des Führungsteils 16.The separation of the compounds can advantageously also be done by torsion. In this case, a moment is applied between two adjacent needles 2, the axis of rotation of which runs essentially in the spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4. Due to their flat shape, the needles can withstand much larger moments about an axis of rotation in the spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 than about an axis of rotation in a spatial direction along the sides 3, 4. The joints 6 are stressed in shear, the load increases with increasing distance from the axis of rotation and sufficient to solve the connection. Advantageously, by leveraging, the forces can be increased by making the joint 6 relatively compact in a relatively resistant portion of the needle, e.g. the foot 21 and apply the forces required to generate the torsional moment relatively far away, e.g. in the farther end 26 of the guide part 16.

Eine von einer Versandeinheit 1 gemäß Fig. 2 abgetrennte Nadel 2 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. An den Verbindungsstellen 6 auf der Seite 3 befinden sich noch Reste des Fixierlacks 27.One of a shipping unit 1 according to Fig. 2 severed needle 2 is in Fig. 4 shown. Remains of the fixing lacquer 27 are still located at the connection points 6 on the side 3.

In Fig. 5 bis 7 ist eine Versandeinheit 1 dargestellt, die aus mehreren identischen Nadeln 2 der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Art für maschenbildende Maschinen besteht. Die Nadeln 2 sind in einer Reihe angeordnet und gleich ausgerichtet, wobei die Seiten 3, 4 benachbarter Nadeln 2 einander gegenüberliegen. Die Nadeln 2 sind relativ zueinander im Wesentlichen entlang einer Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln 2 angeordnet. Die einander gegenüber liegenden Seiten 3, 4 benachbarter Nadeln 2 haben einen Abstand, der so bemessen ist, dass der Abstand der Nadeln 2 einer vorbestimmten Teilung auf einer Maschine entspricht, auf der die Nadeln 2 zum Einsatz vorgesehen sind. Um diesen Abstand einzuhalten befindet sich zwischen benachbarten Nadeln 2 jeweils ein Kunststoffplättchen 8 als Abstandhalter. Die benachbarten Nadeln 2 sind jeweils durch einen als Verbindungsmaterial 7 dienenden Klebstoff 29 mit dem Kunststoffplättchen 8 und dadurch stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden. Die Verbindungsstelle 6 befindet sich im hinteren Bereich 9 jeder Nadel 2, um ein gemeinsames Einsetzen aller Nadeln 2 in die Führungskanäle 24 einer Strickmaschine zu ermöglichen. Die Kunststoffplättchen 8 weisen einen Abschnitt 28 auf, der nach hinten über das Führungsteil 16 der Nadeln 2 hinausragt und so einen Ansatzpunkt z.B. für Werkzeuge bietet, mit deren Hilfe die Kunststoffplättchen 8 einfach durch Torsion oder Biegung von den Nadeln 2 getrennt werden können. Es ist auch denkbar, dass der Abschnitt 28 der Kunststoffblättchen 8 über das Führungsteil 16 in Richtung Nadelfuß ragt. Dadurch ist es möglich, mittels eines Werkzeuges die Kunststoffblättchen von oberhalb der Nadel 2 zu entfernen.In Fig. 5 to 7 a shipping unit 1 is shown, which consists of several identical needles 2 of in Fig. 1 shown type for stitch-forming machines. The needles 2 are arranged in a row and aligned identically, with the sides 3, 4 of adjacent needles 2 facing each other. The needles 2 are arranged relative to each other substantially along a spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 of the needles 2. The opposite sides 3, 4 adjacent needles 2 have a distance which is dimensioned so that the distance of the needles 2 corresponds to a predetermined pitch on a machine on which the needles 2 are provided for use. To comply with this distance is located between adjacent needles 2 each have a plastic plate 8 as a spacer. The adjacent needles 2 are each connected by a serving as a bonding material 7 adhesive 29 with the plastic plate 8 and thereby materially connected to each other. The joint 6 is located in the rear region 9 of each needle 2, to allow a common insertion of all needles 2 in the guide channels 24 of a knitting machine. The plastic platelets 8 have a section 28 which protrudes to the rear beyond the guide part 16 of the needles 2 and thus provides a starting point for tools, for example, with the aid of which the plastic platelets 8 can be separated from the needles 2 simply by torsion or bending. It is also conceivable that the section 28 of the plastic leaflets 8 projects beyond the guide member 16 in the direction of the needle foot. This makes it possible to remove the plastic leaflets from above the needle 2 by means of a tool.

Fig. 7 zeigt mehrere noch zusammenhängende Nadeln 2 einer Versandeinheit 1, die beim Einsetzen in die Strickmaschine gleichzeitig mit dem Schaft 17 voran in benachbarte, zur Aufnahme der Nadeln vorgesehene Führungskanäle 24 geschoben werden und bereits teilweise in den Führungskanälen 24 aufgenommen sind. Sobald die zwischen den Nadeln 2 angeordneten Abstandhalter 8 beim weiteren Vorschieben gegen die zwischen den Führungskanälen 24 angeordneten Stege 25 stoßen, werden die Kunststoffplättchen 8 entfernt, indem z.B. eine Zange an dem über den hinteren Bereich 9 der Nadeln 2 hinausragenden Abschnitt 28 angesetzt wird und das Plättchen vorzugsweise durch Anwendung eines Moments um eine Drehachse in der Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln von den Nadeln 2 abgetrennt und aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den Nadeln herausgezogen wird. Anschließend werden die einzelnen Nadeln 2 vollständig in die Führungskanäle 24 geschoben. Fig. 7 shows several still contiguous needles 2 a shipping unit 1, which are pushed simultaneously with the shaft 17 in adjacent, provided for receiving the needles guide channels 24 during insertion into the knitting machine and are already partially received in the guide channels 24. As soon as the spacers 8 arranged between the needles 2 abut against the webs 25 arranged between the guide channels 24 during further advancement, the plastic platelets 8 are removed, for example by attaching a pair of pliers to the section 28 protruding beyond the rear region 9 of the needles 2 and Platelets are preferably separated from the needles 2 by application of a moment about an axis of rotation in the spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 of the needles and withdrawn from the space between the needles becomes. Subsequently, the individual needles 2 are pushed completely into the guide channels 24.

In Fig. 8 und 9 ist eine Versandeinheit 1 dargestellt, die aus mehreren identischen Nadeln 2 der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Art für maschenbildende Maschinen besteht. Die Nadeln 2 sind in einer Reihe angeordnet und gleich ausgerichtet, wobei die Seiten 3, 4 benachbarter Nadeln 2 einander gegenüberliegen. Die Nadeln 2 sind relativ zueinander im Wesentlichen entlang einer Raumrichtung 5 senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln 2 angeordnet. Die einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln 2 berühren sich, ohne direkt durch ein Verbindungsmaterial 7 verklebt zu sein. Alle Nadeln 2 sind mit zwei vorzugsweise selbstklebenden Folien 10 verbunden, die als gemeinsame Verbindungselemente dienen und jede Nadel 2 auf einer zwischen den Seiten 3, 4 angeordneten Umfangsfläche 12 berühren. Vorzugsweise sind die Verbindungsstellen 6 bei allen Nadeln 2 gleich angeordnet, wobei die erste und letzte Nadel 2 der Versandeinheit je eine zusätzliche Verbindungsstelle 6 an der den anderen Nadeln 2 abgewandten Seite 3, 4 aufweist, die durch Umschlagen eines überstehendes Endes 11 der Folien 10 entsteht. Jede Folie 10 ist als Streifen im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Seiten 3, 4 der Nadeln 2 angeordnet, wobei sie jede Nadel 2 in den Verbindungsstellen 6 berührt.In 8 and 9 a shipping unit 1 is shown, which consists of several identical needles 2 of in Fig. 1 shown type for stitch-forming machines. The needles 2 are arranged in a row and aligned identically, with the sides 3, 4 of adjacent needles 2 facing each other. The needles 2 are arranged relative to each other substantially along a spatial direction 5 perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 of the needles 2. The opposite sides 3, 4 of the needles 2 touch, without being glued directly by a bonding material 7. All needles 2 are connected to two preferably self-adhesive films 10, which serve as common connecting elements and each needle 2 on a arranged between the sides 3, 4 peripheral surface 12 touch. Preferably, the connection points 6 are the same for all needles 2, wherein the first and last needle 2 of the shipping unit each have an additional connection point 6 on the side facing away from the other needles 2 3, 4, which is formed by turning over a protruding end 11 of the films 10 , Each film 10 is arranged as a strip substantially perpendicular to the sides 3, 4 of the needles 2, touching each needle 2 in the joints 6.

Getrennt werden kann die Versandeinheit 1 durch Abziehen der Folien 10 von den Nadeln 2. Um nur einen Teil der Nadeln 2 von der Versandeinheit 1 abzutrennen und die übrigen als zusammenhängende Einheit aufzubewahren werden die Folien 10 nur in einem Teilabschnitt gelöst, so dass lediglich die zur Entnahme vorgesehenen Nadeln 2 freigelegt werden, die anschließend entnommen werden. Die übrigen Nadeln 2 werden vorteilhafterweise durch erneutes Befestigen der Folien 10 zusammengehalten, wobei die durch das Herausnehmen eines Teils der Nadeln 2 längeren überstehenden Enden 11 der Folien 10 ggfs. abgeschnitten oder auf die den übrigen Nadeln 2 abgewandten Seiten 3, 4 der äußeren Nadeln 2 des noch vorhandenen Teils der Versandeinheit 1 umgeschlagen werden.To separate the shipping unit 1 by removing the sheets 10 of the needles 2. In order to separate only a portion of the needles 2 of the shipping unit 1 and the rest as a coherent unit to keep the films 10 are dissolved only in a section, so that only the Removing provided needles 2 are exposed, which are subsequently removed. The remaining needles 2 are advantageously held together by refastening the foils 10, wherein the removal of a part of the needles 2 longer protruding ends 11 of the films 10 if necessary. Cut off or on the other needles 2 facing away from pages 3, 4 of the outer needles 2 of the still existing part of the shipping unit 1.
