A circular hosiery knitting machine, particularly of the double cylinder type, with yarn finger for plated knitting, comprising at least one needle cylinder (2, 3) that has a plurality of axial grooves (4, 5) that each accommodate a needle (6); the needle cylinder (2, 3) is actuatable with a rotary motion about its own axis (2a), arranged vertically, with respect to at least one feed or drop at which there are at least two yarn fingers (7, 8) for plated knitting, respectively a first yarn finger (7) for dispensing a base yarn (9) and a second yarn finger (8) for dispensing a reinforcement yarn (10); the second yarn finger (8) has an elongated body that comprises a dispensing end (12), located proximate to a longitudinal end thereof and provided with a passage for the reinforcement yarn (10) to be dispensed to the needles (6) of the machine arranged in the needle cylinder (2, 3), and a remaining part (13) of the body of the second yarn finger (8); the second yarn finger (8) can be arranged so that its dispensing end (12) faces laterally the needle cylinder (2, 3) in the working area of the needles (6); the dispensing end (12) of the body of the second yarn finger (8) can move on command with respect to the remaining part (13) of the body of the second yarn finger (8), on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis (2a) of the needle cylinder (2, 3), along a direction (14) that is substantially parallel to the tangent to the needle cylinder (2, 3) in the grip point, by the needles (6), of the reinforcement yarn (10) dispensed by the second yarn finger (8). |
