Abstract: An adapter working in concert with a parent or host machine to divert socks of different styles or quality into separate collection containers, including a logic controller, a diverter assembly, at least two discharge conduits, and a manifold. The diverter assembly is pneumatically connected in series with the sock discharge outlet of the host machine. Depending upon a selection entered into the logic controller by an operator, a sock on a rotating turret on the host machine may be designated, at predetermined turret positions, to be of a particular style, or to be of second quality. The entry is entered into the logic controller, where it is remembered until the sock is ready to be everted and discharged. A index detection device is provided to indicate indexing of the turret to the logic controller.
