Abstract
An improved circular knitting machine which provides for semi-automatic doffing of large diameter rolls of knit fabric. The doffing of the fabric can be accomplished by a woman operator without strain. Further, the improved circular knitting machine provides an oxbow rod to prevent pattern skewing and a control means to coordinate the fabric take-down speed with the fabric take-up speed. The semi-automatic doffing apparatus includes a doffing handle, the inside of which is grooved to accommodate the take-up roll shaft, so that the full roll of fabric can be easily removed from the knitting machine.
