ABSTRACT:
A new and improved sock pairing apparatus includes a pair of similar sock clamp assemblies which include similar indicia. Each respective sock clamp assembly is used with one sock of a pair of socks. Each respective sock clamp assembly includes a pair of first and second clamping elements for clamping the respective sock clamp assembly onto a respective sock of the pair of socks. Each respective first clamping element is placed on a respective sock against a first side of a sock wall. Each respective second clamping element is placed against a second side of the respective sock wall in registration with the respective first clamping element and clamped thereto. In this way, a portion of the sock wall is permanently clamped between the respective first clamping element and the respective second clamping element. The first clamping element may be a rigid member that includes a locking assembly for locking the second clamping element thereto. In this case, the second clamping element is a flexible, resilient member. In another embodiment, the first clamping element and the second clamping element are complementary; and the first clamping element includes flexible, resilient, circumferential C-shaped tabs connected to a circumferential edge of the first clamping element. The second clamping element is a rigid member which includes a V-shaped circumferential edge.
