Abstract: One-cylinder circular knitting machine for production of hose-like knitwear, such as socks, etc., that are closed at one of their ends, is provided with an dial plate (3) situated above the needle cylinder of the machine and equipped with dial sinkers (4, 4?) for cooperation with needles (1) during transferring the knitting. The machine is provided with a device for transferring the retained knitting of the toe pouch (V) knitted on a half-circle of needles (1) from one half of the dial sinkers (4) to the other half of the dial sinkers (4?).

Abstract: A known one-cylinder small-diameter circular knitting machine for production of sock goods is modified for closing the toe directly in the machine, where the initial rows of the knitwear beginning by reciprocal knitting of toe pouch are knitted on one half of needles 1, into which needles 1 elastic thread S drawn from a bobbin C is inserted by a thread guide 2. The machine is further provided with a plate brake 3, which plate brake 3 is placed in the path of the elastic thread E in front of the thread guide 2. In front of the plate brake 3 a controlled blocking brake 4 is then positioned in the path of the elastic thread E. In front of the blocking brake 4 a positive feeder 5 is positioned.

Abstract: Device for controlling the thread guides in a circular knitting machine, particularly for manufacturing hosiery and similar goods. The machine has a grooved needle cylinder, the grooves containing needles and needle jacks. The machine also has a control drum which controls the needle jacks by selectively tipping them by control elements mounted upon the cylindrical surface of a control drum. The thread guides of the knitting machine are controlled by programming elements mounted on an outer end surface of the control drum, the thread guides being selectively driven by programming elements mounted upon the outer end surface of the control drum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thread movement sensor comprising an arm with at least one thread guide. The invention solves the problem of sensitivity of the sensor to the vibrations of the machine by making a part of the arm an element of a magnetic circuit of coil, the latter being connected to the control circuit of a knitting machine.
