The base frame (2) comprises a support upper ring or element (3), on which the knitting head is mounted such that the needle-bearing organ can rotate about a substantially-vertical central axis (A), a lower base, or cross-base (4), destined to be at least partially rested on the ground, and two and only two support legs (5, 6) interposed between, and connecting the upper ring (3) and the lower base (4), such that said upper ring is vertically superposed on, and distanced from, said lower base, and such that between them a collecting space (S) is vertically defined, free of elements of the base frame. The collecting space is destined to movably house a take-down and/or collecting group of the fabric produced by the knitting machine. The two legs (5, 6) are arranged at two respective sides of said upper ring and of the lower base, or cross-base, in such a way as to laterally delimit the collecting space (S).

A winder for winding a band of fabric or knitting or the like on a roller, particularly for circular knitting machines. The winder comprises a frame (2) which supports, so that it can rotate about its own horizontally arranged axis (3a), a takeup roller (3), on which the band (4) of fabric or knitting or the like is to be wound, and a traction roller (5), which is supported, so that it can rotate about its own axis (5a), which is arranged in parallel to the axis (3a) of the takeup roller (3), by the frame (2) and can be actuated with a rotary motion about its own axis (5a) with respect to the frame (2). The traction roller (5) makes contact with the takeup roller (3), with the interposition of the band (4) wound around the takeup roller (3), for a transmission of the rotation of the traction roller (5) to the takeup roller (3). The traction roller (5) is arranged so that its axis (5a) is above the axis (3a) of the takeup roller (3) and can move toward or away from the axis (3a) of the takeup roller (3) as the winding diameter of the band (4) on the takeup roller (3) varies. The winder comprises means (6) for the actuation of the traction roller (5) with a rotary motion about its own axis (5a) with a substantially constant actuation torque.

摘要:
A method for joining portions of knitting produced by at least two mutually spaced groups of needles of a bed in circular hosiery knitting machines with two beds or the like, comprising producing at least one first portion of knitting (2) by means of a first group of needles (11, 12, 13) arranged in a first sector (A) of a first bed (1); producing at least one second portion of knitting (3) by means of a second group of needles (14, 15, 16) arranged in a second sector (B) of the first bed (1) which is angularly spaced from the first sector (A) around the axis (1a) of the first bed (1); transferring at least one row of knitting of the first portion of knitting (2) to at least part of the needles of the second group of needles (14, 15, 16). The transfer step is performed by way of engagement elements (41, 42, 43) arranged in the second bed (4) and by means of an angular offset of the second bed (4) with respect to the first bed (1) around its axis (1a). The needles of the second group of needles (14, 15, 16) are then actuated to produce the second portion of knitting (3) as an extension of the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting (2) received or to produce at least one row of knitting for joining the first portion of knitting (2) and the second portion of knitting (3), produced before receiving the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting (2).
摘要:
A method for joining portions of knitting produced by at least two mutually spaced groups of needles of a bed in circular hosiery knitting machines with two beds or the like. The method comprises forming at least one first portion of knitting (2) by means of a first group of needles arranged in a first sector (A) of a first bed (1), and a step for forming at least one second portion of knitting (3) by means of a second group of needles, arranged in a second sector (B) of the first bed (1) which is angularly spaced from the first sector (A) around the axis (1 a) of the first bed (1), transferring at least one row of knitting of the first portion of knitting (2) and at least one row of knitting of the second portion of knitting (3) to at least part of the needles of a group of joining needles arranged in a third sector (C) of the first bed (1), by means of engagement elements arranged in the second bed (4) and by means of an angular offset of the second bed (4) with respect to the first bed (1) around its axis (la). The joining needles (11,12,13 ), engaged with the transferred rows of knitting of the first portion of knitting (2) and of the second portion of knitting (3), are then actuated so as to produce at least one row of knitting for joining the two portions of knitting before being disengaged from the knitted article.
