Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0592376A1] Method for joining two edges of a knitted tubular manufactured product, particularly a stocking (hose), including the phase of manufacturing a manufactured product with a circular machine with just one cylinder, starting with the elastic edge and ending on the side of the tip which remains open, which method envisages: (a) raising a predetermined number of needles (3) of a first half-row; (b) subsequently raising the said needles (3) to allow the corresponding stitches (8) to be taken up; (c) raising to the same level a predetermined number of needles (7) with the stitches (80) of the second half-row; (d) taking up the said stitches (8); (e) lowering the said needles (3) of the first half-row; (f) transferring the stitches (8) thus taken up onto the corresponding needles (7) of the second half-row, turning them over (turning them round, twisting them); (g) raising the needles (7) of the second half-row; (h) locating the superimposed pairs of stitches (8, 80) of each needle (7) of the second half-row strictly juxtaposed and coaxial; (i) subsequently raising the needles (7) of the second half-row; (l) turning the needle cylinder (1) with an intermittent movement and, in each step, inserting a mending-in (grafting, linking) needle (9) into a pair of stitches thus raised, supplying it with some thread (F) used for knitting the manufactured product, without a break in continuity, and then extracting it in order to form a mending-in (grafting) stitch; (m) after making the last mending-in stitch, making two or more than two closure knots (I, II); (n) cutting the thread (F); (o) lowering the needles (7) of the second half-row until the threads are taken down from the hooks. <IMAGE>
