Abstract: A device for the drawing of a knitted article in a circular stocking knitting machine. The device includes a tubular element (14), which extends coaxially and rotates with the cylinder of the machine, but is capable of axial movements between a raised position and a lowered position, and a locking element (15), which is arranged and can be moved independently towards and away from one end of the tubular element and can be moved together with the said tubular element. The locking element (15) engages with the end of the tubular element (14) in order to lock the manufactured article, to draw the latter while it is manufactured and to release it for the purpose of discharging it.

Abstract: A machine for washing and degreasing with solvents or for drying textile products or the like, including a container that accommodates a drum that can be rotated about its own axis. The container is closed by a door on one of its sides, which is directed towards an axial end of the drum, and a circuit is provided for conveying a stream of drying air, the circuit having a delivery duct leading into the container at the region of the door. The machine comprises a chamber for directing the stream of drying air, in the region where it enters the container, along a direction that is substantially parallel to the axis of the drum.
