ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a circular knitting machine of the type including an upper and a lower needle cylinder and comprising a safety device for opening the latches of the double-hooked needles which are to be transferred from one needle cylinder to the other one. For this purpose the machine includes an auxiliary cam located upstream of the zone at which transfer of the needles occurs, the cam being arranged and shaped so as to bring all the sliders and corresponding needles movable along a floating track to a height in which the needle hook and corresponding latch contact the tip of the corresponding slider of the opposite needle cylinder, thus causing the latch to open by interaction between the needle and the tip of the slider. The machine also includes a subsequent cam for raising to a needle transfer position the sliders whose needles are to be transferred to the other needle cylinder and for newly lowering into the floating track the sliders whose needles are not to be transferred.
