摘要

A method for preparing a tubular article for automated pick-up after the formation of a tubular article, such as a sock, is finished in a double cylinder circular machine having at least one feed or drop portion, and a double cylinder circular machine for carrying out the method. The method is carried out in a machine having at least one feed or drop portion 100 and a needle cylinder 4, 5, the needle cylinder having a needle actuating cam around its axis 3, a knockover sinker. It can be operated in rotational motion with respect to the cam 34 and the supply or drop portion 100 for operating the 33. This method, The lower needle cylinder (with the loop of the last row of the knitted fabric of the article 80 previously formed in the upper head 9a of the needle 8) while pulling the article 80 downward from inside the lower needle cylinder 4 A first step of transferring or maintaining all needles 8 in 4); A second step of pushing upward a portion of the article 80 that engages the needle 8; A third step of moving all the needles 8 to the rolled-in squelch position; The lower needle cylinder 4 is rotated about its own axis 3 around the supply part or drop part 100 and the needle operating cam to bring the knock-over sinker 33 from the supply part or drop part 100 to the lower needle cylinder 4 ), Moving away from the axis 3 of the product, gradually separating the knock-over sinker 33 from the article 80, and accordingly, the article 80 is pushed upwards to move the last row 80a of the knitted fabric. A fourth step in which the loop is above the head (9a) of the needle (8) above the beak (33b) of the knock-over sinker (33); A fifth step of moving all needles 8 to an intermediate position between the rolled-in squelch position and the drop squelch position; A sixth step of pushing upward a portion of the article (80) associated with the needle (8); And And a seventh step of raising the needle 80 to at least the drop squelch position while pushing the article 80 upward to hold the loop of the last row 80a of the knitted fabric in the upper head 9a of the needle 8 do.
