Abstract

A clothing wire for clothed elements for use in textile machines includes a root, and a blade, the root and blade having an overall combined wire height (h 1 ) of 1.5 mm to 15 mm. The clade includes teeth having a tooth depth (h 6 ) of 0.5 mm to 10 mm, and having a tooth pitch (p) of 1.5 mm to 15 mm. Viewed in a first working direction of the clothing wire, the teeth have a first tip with a first working angle (α), and viewed in a second working direction of the clothing wire, the teeth have a second tip with a second working angle (β). At each tooth, the first tip is joined to the second tip via a concave tip face. A height difference (E) of 0.02 mm to 0.5 mm is defined between the second tip and the first tip.

1 - 12 : (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A clothing wire for clothed elements for use in textile machines, comprising:
