ABSTRACT:
The present apparatus automatically forms the desired length of folded cuff on hosiery articles and the cuffed hosiery articles are automatically removed from the apparatus. The operator is only required to successively position hosiery articles on tubular members (T-1, T-2 and T-3) as they are successively moved in a step-by-step manner by a turret (10) to a loading station, a cuff folding station, and a hosiery stripping station. The operator draws a hosiery article over the tubular member (T-1) at the loading station with the closed toe end of the hosiery article covering the open free end of the tubular member. The tubular member is then moved to the folding station where a plunger (30) moves the closed toe end of the hosiery article inwardly of the tubular member leaving a folded cuff on the outside of the tubular member (T-2). The tubular member is then moved to the stripping station where gripper means (13) removes the hosiery article with the folded cuff from the tubular member (T-3) and releases the same into a convenient collection receptacle.
