Apparatus for joining two edges of a knitted tubular article, especially the toe of a stocking, comprising:-cam means (31, 32) for operating the lifting and respectively the lowering of a predetermined number of needles (3, 30) of a first and a second semirank of stitches (8, 80);-means for removing the stitches (8) from said first semirank (x) and overturning them through 180 DEG about a diametral axis (a-a) of the cylinder (1) of needles (3, 30);-cam means (7) for operating the 180 DEG overturning in both directions of the semicircular sector (4) about said axis (a-a) of the cylinder (1);-means for operating the transfer of the sector (4) from a knitting station (T) to a linking station (R), that is a station (R) in which the hook-up is formed;-means for keeping the sinkers housing (11) of the machine at a fixed and predetermined angular position; -a seamer-linker (130) to operate the seaming of the pairs of stitches (8, 80) during the linking step;-means (95, 96, 97) for ultimately cutting the linking thread (F) and holding the end of the thread (F1) fed by a supply reel. |
