Abstract
A device for the removal of tubular fabric from a circular knitting machine comprises a machine frame, a driven take-up roller around which the tubular fabric is partially wound, a winding rod for winding the tubular fabric and two bearings at the ends of the winding rod. The bearings of the winding rod are arranged in levers which are pivotally mounted on the machine frame for pivoting from an operating position to a removal position. In the operating position, the winding rod can be locked in position by wedge-shaped locking elements. In the removal position, the winding rod can be removed from the machine frame simply and easily.
