Abstract
A device and method for manually everting a cloth or fabric tube where all manipulations may be visually monitored. The device comprises an elongated hollow body having a convergent passageway entrance at one end thereof and a fabric attachment member connected to a handle member adapted to be selectively introduced into or removed from the other end of said hollow body. The body portion of the tool is preferably cylindrical in configuration. The means connecting the handle member and the fabric attachment member is arranged within the interior of said hollow body when the handle member is introduced into said one end thereof. With the handle member so arranged, the fabric attachment means engages the open end of the cloth tube. The tube may then be everted by moving the handle outwardly from the hollow body, thereby pulling the end of the tube into the convergent passageway entrance. This causes the fabric tube to gather and move upwardly through the hollow body. The fabric attachment means is then removed from the fabric and the open end of the gathered tube is spread over and pulled down around the outside of the hollow body while the remaining portion of the tube is automatically pulled through the cylindrical body until the entire cloth tube is reversed.
