A textile machine tool part (11) that is used in textile processing in a textile machine and a method for producing same are disclosed. The textile machine tool part (11) has a tool core (16) made of a core material and is coated, at least in part, with a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating (17) is applied to a core surface (18) that has a first microstructure (19). The first microstructure (19) is preferably created using electrochemical etching in the core surface (18). The wear-resistant coating (17) applied thereto is preferably applied directly to at least a section of the core surface (18) having the first microstructure (19) using electrochemical deposition and has a layer thickness of a maximum of 20 μm.

A needle bed and needle combination for a flat knitting machine includes a needle bed, a plurality of parallel sinkers provided at a front end of the needle bed, knitting needles and stitch elements provided in needle grooves, and a needle selection unit. Two knitting needles are arranged in parallel in the needle groove between every two adjacent sinkers, and are separately configured to make a knit stitch, a tuck stitch and a loop transfer stitch. The stitch element includes a control stitch element and elastic stitch elements. The control stitch element, the elastic stitch elements and the needle selection unit form the needle selection mechanism. Two elastic stitch elements are connected to the two knitting needles, respectively. The control stitch element is located above and engaged with the two elastic stitch elements. The needle selection unit is provided above the two elastic stitch elements.

A textile tool part pair (15) consisting of two textile tool parts (16) and a method of equipping a textile machine with the aid of such a textile tool part pair (15) are disclosed. Each textile tool part (16) extends in a longitudinal direction (L) between a trailing end (21) and a leading end (22). Proceeding from the trailing ends (21) thereof, the textile tool parts (16) extend away from one another and counter to one another as far as the leading end (22). At the trailing ends (21), the two textile tool parts (16) of a common textile tool part pair (15) are interconnected by a predetermined breaking connection (45). The predetermined breaking connection (45) can be manually separated without tools, in particular by bending about a bending axis (A).

A circular hosiery knitting machine, particularly of the double cylinder type, with yarn finger for plated knitting, comprising at least one needle cylinder and a first yarn finger for dispensing a base yarn and a second yarn finger for dispensing a reinforcement yarn; the dispensing end of the body of the second yarn finger can move on command with respect to the remaining part of the body of the second yarn finger, on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the needle cylinder, along a direction that is substantially parallel to the tangent to the needle cylinder in the grip point, by needles, of a reinforcement yarn dispensed by the second yarn finger.

A method of making a multi-ply fabric. The fabric has a top side and a back side with the top side being adjacent to an external environment when the fabric is in use and the back side being adjacent to an object to be cooled when the fabric is in use. The method includes providing a top yarn to form the top side of the fabric and providing a bottom yarn to form the back side of the fabric, with the bottom yarn having a higher SA:V than the top yarn. The two yarns are combined together to form a single fabric, with the top yarn looping through bobbins in the bottom yarn and the bottom yarn looping through bobbins in the top yarn so that the top and bottom yarns are linked and networked to-one-another.
