ABSTRACT:
An attachment for the cylinder apparatus of a circular knitting machine which produces lock stitched hosiery. The attachment further includes an additional attachment which provides a mechanism to gather and sever a tubular hosiery segment intermediate its distal ends, creating two equal sized hosiery segments each having a closed end and an open end for use as foot covers, or footies, and having the advantage of creating two footies per cut with virtually no waste. A collar connecting device interconnects an extension cylinder to a standard cylinder tube on an existing knitting machine. The collar connecting device permits a double cylinder arrangement with an intermediate gathering, sealing and cutting device which yields a pair of hosiery footies with a single cutting action thus doubling the standard output, and eliminating the usual waste product.
