  • Needle for transferring stitches therefrom to adjacent needles for hosiery knitting machines or the like
    Patent number: 7908890
    Abstract: A needle for transferring stitches therefrom to adjacent needles for hosiery knitting machines comprises a shank, a head, arranged at a longitudinal end, or upper end, of the shank, and a latch which is pivoted to the shank proximate to the head, about a pivoting axis which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shank and can rotate about the pivoting axis in order to open or close the head. The needle comprises at least one elastically flexible lamina, which is associated with the shank and forms, on the two opposite sides of the shank, below the latch, two receptacles, one for each side of the shank. The head of an adjacent needle can be inserted in each of the receptacles, in order to transfer the loop of knitting, from the needle being considered to the adjacent needle.

  • Yarn feeding device for knitting machines, particularly for circular knitting machines
    Patent number: 7861559
    Abstract: A device for feeding yarns for knitting machines comprising a supporting element arranged on the inner side of the machine bed which supports a set of yarn guides arranged side-by-side. Each of the yarn guides has a passage for at least one yarn to be fed to the needles of the machine arranged in the bed and the supporting element, for each of the yarn guides, supports an element for clamping and cutting the yarn dispensed by the corresponding yarn guide. A first actuator for the yarn guides is provided for the passage of the yarn guides from an inactive position to an active position, and a second actuator is provided for actuating the clamping and cutting elements. The first actuator comprises individual actuators actuated to produce passage of each of the yarn guides from the inactive position to the active position or vice versa.
