Abstract
A fabric rolling apparatus is driven by a circular knitting machine to revolve and receive a knitted fabric. The fabric rolling apparatus comprises a bracket, a transmission rod set located on the bracket and a revolving fabric collection mechanism. The bracket includes two side boxes corresponding to each other and a drive mechanism located in each side box. Each side box has a top side and a bottom side. The drive mechanism drives the transmission rod set to guide movement of the fabric. The revolving fabric collection mechanism includes two revolving arms hinged respectively on the side boxes and a fabric rolling rod driven by the transmission rod set to revolve and roll the fabric. Each revolving arm has a revolving end hinged on the bottom side of the side box and a holding end connected to the fabric rolling rod at an elevation higher than the revolving end.
