  • Label advancing system for a line closer machine
    Patent number: 4558653
    Abstract: A system for automatically handling a label and presenting the label to a hosiery blank mounted upon a line closer machine. A label length is advanced from a label strip supply roll; the projecting label length is clamped by a presentator assembly and then is severed from the remainder of the label strip. The presentator assembly is displaced to position the label at a prescribed location within the confines of a hosiery blank mounted upon the line closer machine. The presentator assembly is displaced to move the label within a hosiery blank past sewing instrumentalities to sew the label to a pair of hosiery blanks as the blanks are seamed together.
