  • Transfer mechanism for transferring hosiery articles
    Patent number: 4643340
    Abstract: A transfer mechanism for transferring hosiery from a toe-closing machine to a hosiery boarding machine is disclosed which enables the labor content of hosiery production to be reduced. The hosiery is mechanically removed from the toe-closing machine and supported upon a transfer form at its welt end. The hosiery is then stretched and driven fully onto the transfer form. Thereafter a hosiery boarding form is inserted into the foot end of the hosiery to draw the hosiery thereonto while simultaneously turning it.
