ABSTRACT:
The orientation of textile articles such as stockings and socks having closed or open toe are detected by a method and apparatus, in a plant for the automatic treatment of articles in which the articles are pneumatically moved. A machine (6) requires the articles to arrive in a predetermined orientation, that is, presented with either their toe or opposite portion thereof facing the machine (6). Upstream of machine (6) is a removal device (2) able to pick up one or more articles from a container (1) in which the article are disposed in bulk. The apparatus and method are between removal device (2) and machine (6). A tubular chamber (30) is provided with an input/output section (300) for the articles. A fixed pin (31) is disposed centrally within the chamber (30) and substantially coaxial thereto. The articles are fitted onto the pin30.A detection device (37) detects the presence of an article fitted onto the pin (31).
