ABSTRACT:
A process and device for picking up and transferring stockings from a stocking circular knitting machine to a sewing machine for closing the toe of the stockings. The device includes conveying units for taking hold of the stocking at two opposite zones of the knitted fabric at a level of the open toe. Structure for moving the stocking is provided between a position for picking up the stocking, within the circular machine, in a position outside of the circular machine. A holding structure is provided for taking hold of the stocking from the conveying units and maintaining a hold on the stocking for positioning the stocking with respect to the sewing machine, for closing the toe. The method is based on the steps of mechanically removing the stocking from the sewing machine based on picking up the stocking at two diametrically opposite locations and supporting the opposite parts during transfer, bringing the edges of the open toe together for sewing the toe edge.
