A device for transferring the borders (C) of knitted products from a beam (25) for supporting the borders onto the needle beam of a Cotton loom by way of a transfer reed, wherein the transfer reed (6) is connected to lever systems (4, 5) so as to perform an approach stroke and a spacing stroke with respect to the supporting beam (25); the lever systems (4, 5) being adapted to allow, in the approach position, the positioning of the reed (6) with respect to the beam in order to receive a border therefrom and, in the spacing position, the positioning of the reed with respect to the needle beam in order to allow the transfer of the border (C) onto the beam; the lever systems (4, 5), in the approach position, being adapted to allow the rotation of the reed (6) into an inactive position.
