Claim 6:
7. A knotter hook for a twine knotter for producing a loop knot, the knotter hook comprising:
a first stationary clamping wing and a second stationary clamping wing, wherein the first stationary clamping wing and the second stationary clamping wing are connected to a base and extend away from the base and each comprise a free end remote from the base, wherein the first stationary clamping wing and the second stationary clamping wing are spaced apart from each other at least at the free ends remote from the base so that a gap is formed between the first stationary clamping wing and the second stationary clamping wing at least at the free ends remote from the base;
a pivotable clamping wing, wherein the first stationary clamping wing and the pivotably supported clamping wing comprise an extension component in a same first spatial direction;
wherein the pivotable clamping wing comprises a projection projecting in a direction toward the first stationary clamping wing;
wherein the pivotable clamping wing is configured to pivot reversibly from a closed state into an open state so that a free end of the pivotable clamping wing in the open state is spaced apart farther from the first stationary clamping wing than in the closed state;
wherein the pivotable clamping wing extends in and/or above the gap between the first stationary clamping wing and the second stationary clamping wing and wherein the projection projects into the gap in the closed state;
wherein the gap in the closed state extends opposite to the first spatial direction beyond the projection;
wherein the knotter hook is configured to release a knot formed at the knotter hook from the projection in a downward direction while the pivotable clamping wing is in the closed state.
