ABSTRACT:
A device to automatically transfer pantyhose articles from a sewing machine to a conveyor for packed pantyhose articles includes a carriage 2 reciprocable on a horizontal track 10 extending from an unloading station of a sewing machine (LC) to a loading station of a conveyor (BG) for packed pantyhose articles. Grippers having flat horizontal tips, one being fixed, the other being vertically movable, hold an elastic band 40 of a pantyhose article when the bodice is fitted over the sewing forms 9 of the sewing machine. A stylus is associated with and extends parallel to the tips of the gripper 3 and is movable in a direction perpendicular thereto to rotate the bodice of the pantyhose. The gripper engages the pantyhose while it moves through approximately 90.degree. about its own horizontal axis in order to make the seams of the pantyhose coincide over the same vertical median plane. A rotator 6-9 acts to rotate the gripper 3 and the stylus 5 through approximately 90.degree. about a horizontal axis with the pantyhose being made to hang during down the forward run of the carriage 2 in order to orientate and lay the elastic band of the bodice on one side of an underylying vertical shelf 12 of a conveyor (BG) for packing pantyhose articles and the disjoined legs of the pantyhose become engaged on the other side of a shelf 12 located above the conveyor BG and thus causing them to make part of a pack (P) of pantyhose articles.
