Abstract (en)

A transfer apparatus (100) for transferring a stocking (4) from a knitting machine to a stitching apparatus to close an open-end of the stocking (4) comprises strip and transfer members (2, 1) . The knitting machine includes a needle (3) having a hook (3b) for forming a loop (41) at the open-end of the stocking (4), and a latch (3a) that is pivotal upward or downward to move to or away from the hook (3b). The strip member (2) is movable axially upward and downward and radially towards and away from the needle (3), and is capable of contacting the loop (41) on the needle (3) to push the loop (41) toward or away from the hook (3b). The transfer member (1) is disposed horizontally above the strip member (2), is movable axially upward and downward and radially toward and away from the needle (3), and includes a tip region (112) for receiving the loop (41) from the hook (3b) when the strip member (2) pushes the loop (41) to the hook (3b).
