(57) Abstract
The invention relates to a strip of needles (22), in particular a top comb (12), for a textile machine with a
number of needles (24) situated adjacent to one another, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the strip of needles
(22), by forming free pass-throughs (D, D1) between the needles. It has been seen in practice that the drawing in of
the edge zones (R) of the lap end (E) into the strip of needles (22) is more difficult. It is therefore proposed that the
strip of needles (22), as seen in the longitudinal direction (L), is provided with at least one partial zone (T1, T2) which
is provided with a different needle setting as compared to the remaining zone (B).
