Knitting spirality stabilizer

A knitting spirality stabilizer for processing a tubular fabric having an internal fabric diameter, the spirality stabilizer cooperating with a finishing machine, the spirality stabilizer comprising:

• a circular pattern of two rings, one of the rings being a movable ring;
• the circular pattern having a circumferentially located layout for regulating an inner diameter of the movable ring, the layout constituted of a plurality of independent external rests, which are height adjustable, external pins for stabilizing the external rests in the desired positions, turn wheels located on the external rests, the turn wheels having a soft material coating made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and external magnets located on the external rests;
• an internal mechanism that is received within the inner diameter of the movable ring;
• and,
• the internal mechanism having a foldable frame including flexible metal bands, internal pins for maintaining the position of the frame, turn wheels having a soft material coating, and internal magnets for the creation of a magnetic field which provides a traction force that rotates the internal mechanism with the movable ring;
• so that the internal mechanism will be received within the inner diameter of the movable ring, the foldable frame and the external rests will be adjusted to positions appropriate for the internal fabric diameter, the tubular fabric will be passed between the internal mechanism and the external ring, and the tubular fabric will be moved longitudinally through the spirality stabilizer by the finishing machine and simultaneously rotated by the motion of the movable ring and internal mechanism, thereby keeping fabric spirality within desirable limits.
