Abstract: PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for weaving toe socks are provided to prevent production of unnecessary woven parts by lifting of knitting needles which are unnecessary for weaving toe socks through an auxiliary lifting cam without a forward rotation standby motion, thereby improving the quality of woven toe socks, saving thread, and enhancing productivity. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for weaving toe socks comprises: a knitting cylinder which has knitting needle grooves at the circumference thereof and rotates in a forward direction and a reverse direction; knitting needles which are inserted to the knitting needle grooves, are lifted along the knitting needle grooves, and weave toe socks; a lowering cam which weaves one toe part by being inserted at one side of the circumference of the knitting needle cylinder and lowers all knitting needles in forward rotation of the knitting needle cylinder for weaving a next toe part; a lower cam cylinder which controls the lowering cam by being connected to the lowering cam; an auxiliary lifting cam which immediately weaves a next toe part without a standby motion by immediately lifting knitting needles which are unnecessary for weaving toe parts; and an auxiliary lifting cam cylinder which controls the auxiliary lifting cam by being connected to the auxiliary lifting cam. [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) End; (S10) Knitting cylinder weaves first toe part while rotating in a forward direction; (S100) Auxiliary lifting cam cylinder reversely operates the auxiliary lifting cam and knitting needle cylinder produces the fourth toe part while normally rotating; (S110) Lowering cam forward operates to lower the increased knitting needles unnecessary to produce the fourth toe part; (S120) Lowering cam cylinder reversely operates the lowering cam and auxiliary lifting cam cylinder operates the auxiliary lifting cam forward to make knitting needles unnecessary to produce the fifth toe part immediately upward without standby motion of normal rotation of one round; (S130) Auxiliary lifting cam cylinder reversely operates the auxiliary lifting cam and knitting needle cylinder produces the fifth toe part while normally rotating; (S20) Lowering cam cylinder operates a lowering cam forward to lower the increased knitting needles unnecessary to produce the first toe part; (S30) Lowering cam cylinder reversely operates the lowering cam and auxiliary lifting cam cylinder operates the auxiliary lifting cam forward to make knitting needles unnecessary to produce the second toe part immediately upward without standby motion of normal rotation of one round; (S40) Auxiliary lifting cam cylinder reversely operates the auxiliary lifting cam and knitting needle cylinder produces the second toe part while normally rotating; (S50) Lowering cam forward operates to lower the increased knitting needles unnecessary to produce the second toe part; (S60) Lowering cam cylinder reversely operates the lowering cam and auxiliary lifting cam cylinder operates the auxiliary lifting cam forward to make knitting needles unnecessary to produce the third toe part immediately upward without standby motion of normal rotation of one round; (S70) Auxiliary lifting cam cylinder reversely operates the auxiliary lifting cam and knitting needle cylinder produces the third toe part while normally rotating; (S80) Lowering cam forward operates to lower the increased knitting needles unnecessary to produce the third toe part; (S90) Lowering cam cylinder reversely operates the lowering cam and auxiliary lifting cam cylinder operates the auxiliary lifting cam forward to make knitting needles unnecessary to produce the fourth toe part immediately upward without standby motion of normal rotation of one round
