In the method for making a knitting stitch in a knitting machine where for forming the knitting stitch a needle and a sinker cooperate, the created knitting stitch is moved by a movement of the sinker to a rest position of the knitting stitch.

A circular knitting machine for knitted or hosiery items includes a supporting structure; a needle-holding cylinder selectively turnable around an axis of rotation of the knitting machine and provided with a plurality of cylinder needles; and a dial assembly arranged above the needle-holding cylinder. The dial assembly includes a supporting ring integral with the supporting structure; a needle-holding plate turnably mounted to the supporting ring and turnable around the axis of rotation; a plurality of plate needles; and a plurality of cams controlling the plate needles, which interact with the plate needles so as to transmit to them a radial movement inside the respective sliding seat based on a given law of motion, wherein the control cams globally form a cam profile defining the law of motion. The dial assembly further includes a stitch cam placed movably on the supporting ring and configured for interacting with the plate needles in a given angular sector during the rotation of the needle-holding plate, so as to transmit to the plate needles a motion of return for executing stitch formation. The stitch cam is selectively movable with respect to the cam profile.

The present disclosure provides a cotton knitted fabric with antibacterial, deodorizing and anti-mold functions. The cotton knitted fabric has identical pattern on both sides thereof, and includes several knitting weaves knitted by cotton yarns prepared from CotSolution cotton, each knitting weave includes eight feeds, each feed includes four loops, and the four loops includes two dial knitting loops and two needle cylinder knitting loops. The present disclosure adopts a structure with identical patterns on both sides, the limitation caused by different face and the back sides can be removed, the use is more flexible, and the cotton yarns made of CotSolution cotton are knitted according to the structure of eight feeds and four loops, thus better playing the antibacterial, deodorizing and anti-mold functions.

A circular hosiery knitting machine, particularly of the double cylinder type, with yarn finger for plated knitting, comprising at least one needle cylinder and a first yarn finger for dispensing a base yarn and a second yarn finger for dispensing a reinforcement yarn; the dispensing end of the body of the second yarn finger can move on command with respect to the remaining part of the body of the second yarn finger, on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the needle cylinder, along a direction that is substantially parallel to the tangent to the needle cylinder in the grip point, by needles, of a reinforcement yarn dispensed by the second yarn finger.

A needle-holding element for circular knitting machines, having a structure as a hollow solid of rotation developing around a central axis and configured for rotating and for supporting a plurality of needles moving so as to produce a knitted fabric; the needle-holding element has at least one working surface shaped as a surface of rotation obtained through the rotation of a portion of generating straight line around the central axis; on the working surface a plurality of needle seats is defined, placed one beside the other and arranged circumferentially or radially around the central axis, wherein each needle seat movably houses at least a portion of at least one respective needle. At least one needle seat has at least a first length has a longitudinal development, on the working surface, inclined with respect to the generating straight line.

A circular machine for knitting, hosiery or the like, with sinker actuation device, comprising a needle cylinder; the needle cylinder has, on its lateral surface, a plurality of axial grooves, each of which accommodates a needle that can move on command along the corresponding axial groove in order to pick up at least one yarn dispensed at at least one feed or drop and form knitting; the machine also comprises needle actuation cams, which face the lateral surface of the needle cylinder and define paths that are extended around the axis of the needle cylinder and can be engaged by at least one heel of the needles, which protrudes from the lateral surface of the needle cylinder, in order to actuate the movement of the needles along the corresponding axial groove with respect to the needle cylinder as a consequence of the rotation of the needle cylinder about its own axis with respect to the needle actuation cams and the at least one feed.
