ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for doffing fabric rolls formed on a winding shaft from a circular knitting machine. When the knitting machine is stopped after a predetermined length of knitted fabric is wound on a winding shaft, the angular position of the winding shaft with respect to the common rotational center of the knitting device and the winding mechanism is controlled by means of a particular mechanism so that the winding shaft occupies a predetermined angular position. Then the knitted fabric is cut at a position adjacent to the winding shaft. Thereafter, both ends of said winding shaft, whereon a full size fabric roll is formed, are simultaneously released from the supporting members of the winding mechanism and the fabric roll doffed from the winding mechanism is received by a receiving plate of a truck positioned at its standby position right below the winding mechanism. Thereafter, the full size fabric roll is transported to a position outside the knitting machine by moving the truck from the above-mentioned standby position to a position outside the knitting machine.
