To transfer the stitches from a first needle arc (X) to a second opposed needle arc (Y), a overturnable semicircular sector () presents elements () terminating in a bifurcate way (F) (flanking inside the respective sinkers () the relevant needle (X) of the first arc), each of which has an upper fork projection (A) embracing the needle (X) and forming a rear recess (X) and a front recess (C) suitable to engage an end stitch (M) formed by the corresponding needle (X), said stitch (M) then being transferred and engaged on a corresponding needle (Y) of the second needle arc.

Device for closing the toe at the end of tubular hosiery articles

A knitting machine has a lowering cam which acts on the butts of the needles to lower the needles in an active stroke. A stop cam associated with the lowering cam acts on the butts to decelerate the needles at the end of the stroke. The relative positions of the lowering cam and the stop cam can be adjusted in two mutually transverse directions to ensure smooth engagement of the butts with the stop cam.

Knitting machine cam

A continuous tubular one-piece panty hose is formed on a circular knitting machine, wherein the waist opening extends transversely of the direction of knitting and is surrounded by a reinforced elastic section with stitches that resist raveling or breakdown.

Knit tubular article with transverse waist opening

A continuous, tubular, one-piece panty hose is formed on a circular knitting machine, wherein the waist opening extends both transversely of the direction of knitting as well as longitudinally of the direction of knitting to form a generally rectangular opening which is surrounded by a reinforced elastic section with stitches that resist raveling or breakdown.

Panty hose with improved waist openings

A continuous, tubular, one-piece panty hose is formed on a circular knitting machine with a waist opening extending longitudinally of the direction of knitting and surrounded by a reinforced elastic section with stitches that resist raveling or breakdown. In the waist portion of the panty hose, each course is formed by a pair of partial courses, one end of which overlap and the other end of which form the longitudinal opening.
