ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for separating and separately collecting stockings and toe end waste therefrom, incorporated with a toe end closing apparatus for a circular knitting machine where the stocking is gathered in a clamp at the toe end and closed thereat, with a short waste end portion being severed therefrom by the closing operation, and including a movable stop for the clamp actuator to stop clamp opening at a partially open position to retain the entirety of the waste end temporarily while the stocking is conventionally sucked away from the clamp through a conduit to a collection station, after which the stop is moved to allow full opening of the clamp for release of the waste end into the suction current created by an air jet temporarily blowing across the conduit for transporting the entirety of the waste end in fabric form to a separate waste collection station.
