A long seamer for seaming garment sections automatically, which comprises a stationary working table, a sewing machine head, a patterning device and an endless flat belt, wherein the travelling passage of said flat belt is defined by a plurality of patterning devices, and a side surface of a flexible guide band is deformed into a cure similar to the curve of the stitching line on said fabrics by said patterning devices, so that the flat belt moves together with the fabrics being stitched by said sewing machine head in such a way that all portions on the stitching line of said garment sections are moved along the same curved passage.

Automatic seaming method and long seamer therefor

Method and apparatus for automatically carrying out a toe-closing operation for a plurality of seamless hose simultaneously by several successive operational steps. One cycle of the successive steps being carried out during one cycle of the travelling of said hose along an endless passage. The steps are: sucking the toe portion of the hose into a suction tube, holding the welt portion inside out on finger pieces, clamping the toe portion of the hose by the clamp of the sewing machine after the toe closing operation has been enlarged laterally and moved forwardly, and sucking the toe closed hose into the suction tube by the suction force in the suction tube.
