ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a tubular knitted article with a toe end closed by a machine provided with a cylinder (1). The machine has a first and second series of needles disposed opposite to each other on corresponding semicylindrical portions of the same cylinder (1) and has a plate (3) provided with hooks (30). The process includes an initial step for the formation of the fabric of the toe in the form of a pocket (SC) by utilizing the needles (2) of the first series and corresponding hooks of plate (3). Steps for the removal and transfer of the fabric portion engaged by the hooks of the plate (3) by a 180.degree. rotation about a diametral axis of said cylinder (1) to dispose this fabric portion in correspondence of the needles (20) of said second series. Between the step for the removal of the fabric portion engaged by the hooks of the plate (3) and the transfer step, provision is made for the transfer of the fabric portion engaged by the hooks of the plate (3) onto structure for the formation of the pocket (ST), and/or associated to the formation device and connected to the cylinder of the needles.
