Abstract: A stretcher comprising: two stretcher arms (1), the stretcher arms being provided with idle shaped rings (5), driving wheels (2a, 2b), and two pairs of inclined wheels (4, 4′) in correspondence with the shaped rings (5), in which the inclined wheels (4, 4′) are respectively mounted on two plates (12, 13) that are adjacent to the arms (1) and detachably interconnected to each other with the possibility of disengaging the arms (1) from the plates (12, 13).

Abstract: A stretcher for tubular knitwear fabric comprising: two arms (5, 6), driving wheels (7a, 7b), wheels (10, 11) with inclined axis (12), rings (8) mounted on the arms (5, 6) and magnets (17, 18) the magnets attracting the arms (5, 6), respectively, such that the rings (8) are offset from the inclined wheels (10, 11) and attracted against the driving wheels (7a, 7b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a stretcher for tubular knitted fabrics comprising two separate stretcher arms (5, 6) bearing pulleys (23) in contact with belts (22) for carrying fabric (4), driven by drive wheels (11A, 11B) borne by supports (8) suitable to horizontally move in opposite directions and bearing pairs of support rolls (19, 20) with angled axle (21), each pair (19, 20) supporting on the opposite sides a ring (17) which has a particular profile, is idle on each arm (5, 6) and is in contact with each drive wheel (11A, 11B), wherein the above mentioned pairs of rolls (19, 20) are motor-driven.
