ABSTRACT:
A means for lessening the entanglement of a tubular extent of fabric by inserting a hoop into a collapsed stack of that fabric prior to its being subjected to processing steps which heretofore have resulted in the entanglement and knotting of the fabric. In its preferred form, the means and method employed in the hoop emplacement include the delivery of an extent of tubular fabric to a hoop inserter; inserting a flexible length within the tubular fabric so that it extends outward from the two ends thereof; securing the distal ends of the flexible length outward of the tubular fabric extent so as to form a hoop; processing the tubular extent with the hoop in place; preferably in a porous bag; opening the hoop and securing one end to an anchor; and reorienting the tubular extent to a substantially planar flattened extent, employing the now opened hoop as a guide, and finally removing the opened hoop from the tubular fabric.
