English term

latch

English to Italian Tech/Engineering Other knitting machine
Ensure that the latchguard prevents the needle latches from bouncing closed as the
needle rises through the mesh.
- That the wire is fed high enough so as not to slide under the needle latches. The best
height setting is when the wire enters the needle hook just below the point of the hook.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance between the needle and the feed tube so as to
allow a needle with a closed latch to pass without damage.

"AGO a LINGUETTA o AUTOMATICO, il cui gambo di acciaio è a sezione rettangolare e particolarmente ripiegato alla base; sulla punta termina con un uncino, sotto cui è fissata una linguetta mobile, la quale durante il lavoro si apre e si chiude imprigionando e liberando alternativamente il filo della maglia."


Se non sbaglio, si tratta di macchine circolari tessili ( circular knitting machines ). Esiste anche un dispositivo che si chiama apriago o latch opener
