Apparatus for terrying yarn

摘要

A circular ladies hosiery knitting machine is provided having a conventional rotatable needle cylinder and dial. The dial includes radially movable transfer jacks which, when fully extended, cooperate with the needles to form loops on the jacks. A selectively operable device positions a de-looper element in the path of loops carried by the transfer jacks whereby the loops are lifted out of engagement with the jacks without the jacks having to be retracted.
