Wherein said support element comprises: a grasping appendage (75a,75b,75c,75d,75e), which rises from a portion of the second face (70a,70b,70c,70d,70e) proximal to the needles (55) and develops both in a direction away from the first face and from the second face and in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (X) of the bar (50a,50b,50c,50d,50e,50f,50g,50h,50i,50l,50m,50n). Wherein said grasping appendage (75a,75b,75c,75d,75e) is rigidly integral with the second face (70a,70b,70c,70d,70e) in at least a plurality of side-by-side sections along said longitudinal direction along which the grasping appendage develops, and wherein there is at least one of said sections every two consecutive needles (55).
