ABSTRACT:
Method for manufacturing a tubular hosiery item with a closed end, with a single-cylinder circular knitting machine having a pivoting semicircular plate having radially sliding hooks, including alternately rotating the needle cylinder for moving the needles of a first half of the needle cylinder and the hooks of the overlying semicircular plate to pass in front of a feed of the machine; the extracted hooks forming a support for a thread dispensed at the feed, actuated needles being actuated so as to take up the thread and be alternated with inactive needles, subsequently swapping the actuated needles with the inactive needle when the motion of the needle cylinder is reversed; a first needle of the needles of a second half of the needle cylinder is also made to pass in front of the feed to take up the thread, in order to allow both end hooks of the hooks of the semicircular plate to engage the thread; retracting the hooks of the semicircular plate so as to retain the engaged thread; forming heel knitting with the needles of the first half of the needle cylinder that have taken up the thread; folding over the semicircular plate so that the hooks which have retained the thread face the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder; extracting the hooks from the semicircular plate and actuating the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder while the cylinder is rotated continuously about its own axis so as to form loops of knitting by the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder, the loops meshing with the thread carried by the hooks of the semicircular plate, which are then retracted into the semicircular plate in order to release the previously held and transferred thread; and actuating the machine in order to complete the item.
