Abstract
Procedure for knitting hose with a toe and heel in a circular knitting machine having more than one feed and two needle cylinders. All needles are brought to an upper path during knitting of the toe and heel with alternating motion, and at every oscillation of the cylinder those needles alone which have been selected to knit the course relative to the oscillation are brought back to work from the upper path towards a lower working path. The selection of needles is brought about by cooperation between fixed radial cams situated so as to correspond with the main feed and appropriate selection actuators. The selection for jacquard designs takes place upwardly from the lower path to the upper path by cooperation between appropriate selection actuators and movable radial cams located so as to correspond with each feed. The upper path serves to exclude the needles of the lower cylinder from work and also to protect the upper cylinder needles, the lower path being the path for jacquard designs. The apparatus relates to a circular knitting machine which has more than one feed and a double cylinder.
