A method for sewing panty hose with a backpanel-like gusset inserted includes steps of cutting inner thigh portion of left-and-right aligned cylindrical hose materials and thereafter inserting the backpanel-like gusset material to a position ranging from rear portion to inner thigh portion of the panty part. The backpanel-like gusset material is folded into two and inserted into between the upper middle clamp and the lower middle clamp of a pair of left and right clamp groups. After the cutting of the gusset material, upper edge portion and lower edge portion of the gusset material inserted between the upper and lower middle clamps are sewn individually to cut edges of the hose materials.

Method and apparatus for sewing panty hose with backpanel-like gusset

A pair of tubular stocking materials nipped by a pair of template units travelling along a circular guide rail are sliced at the center portions thereof to the thigh portions, sliced fringes are exposed outside in a substantially straight form by turning of the template units from each other, one sliced fringe only is seamed to one fringe of a separately fed gore piece on a first sewing machine, and the two sliced fringes are thereafter seamed together on a second sewing machine while concurrently seaming the other sliced fringe to the other fringe of the gore piece, approach of the sliced fringes being carried out under positive path control based on electric detection of the passage. In such a manner, a panty-hose with a gore can be manufactured automatically at enhanced process efficiency.
