ABSTRACT:
A collapsible hosiery form for panty hose garments and the like, suitable for hosiery handling apparatus in which a plurality of such forms are conveyed about an endless path from a loading station through a treatment chamber to a stripping station, includes a support base provided with means to mount the form on the conveyor of the hosiery handling apparatus. This hosiery form support base carries a pair of generally parallel garment shaping legs disposed so as to define a space between the legs and each leg includes first and second elongated members that are mounted for substantially translational relative movement so that the legs are shiftable between expanded and collapsed conditions. Garment fabric tucking elements are connected to shift relative to the legs so that these elements are disposed exteriorly of the space between the legs when the form is in the collapsed condition in order that a panty garment can be loaded onto and stripped from the form while these tucking elements shift into this space and thereby draw loose fabric into this space when the form is shifted into its expanded condition.
