Abstract: The present invention pertains to a circular knitting machine with a pair of cutting devices (15) in opposite positions for longitudinally cutting, on two sides, the tubular fabric component and for forming two individual even pieces (13a, 13b) and with two winding units (11, 12) for separately winding the two pieces onto rolls, the pieces being led in opposite directions by central return rollers (16, 17).

Abstract: The invention refers to an automatic controlled aerating and humidifying device and for a creel with yarns directed to a textile machine. The invention includes an air conditioning unit (12) in coaxial position to a frame (10) carrying yarns and which is equipped with a device (17, 17a) to receive clean and humidified air coming from a centralized generator of fresh and humidified air and to supply it from one end to another end towards or through yarn bobbins or reels, and with a device (18) defining a chimney-like passage to suck used and dirty air from the bottom and move it away towards a filtering device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved knitting machine, either with latch needles or with compound needles, in which for each feeding station a thread guide is provided which is placed at a certain distance above the rising zone of the needles and is fitted with a horizontal supporting cam preventing the thread from fluttering while it is fed. The sinkers of the machine are fitted with an additional bearing surface designed to support the thread as it is fed by the thread guide till it is picked up by the needles on their down path immediately after their upward motion.
