DEVICE FOR REVERSING TUBULAR ARTICLES, FOR CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINES

摘要

A device (1) for reversing tubular articles, particularly for circular knitting machines provided with a station for closing an axial end of the tubular article (60). The device comprises a reversing tube (2) which has a vertical axis (2a) and can be inserted with its upper end through a dial (50) from which the article (60) to be reversed hangs with a first axial end thereof, so as to evert the tubular article (60) onto the outer lateral surface of the reversing tube (2). The device comprises expulsion means which act on the article (60) for its introflection inside the reversing tube (2), inserting its first axial end, disengaged from the dial (50), in the lower end of the reversing tube (2). The device further comprises means (70) for braking the article (60) on the outer lateral surface of the reversing tube (2) during the intervention of the expulsion means.
