Abstract
A hosiery toe closer has a hollow tubular carrier, to which suction is applied for everting hosiery, and an unloading mechanism for dispensing hose in an everted state on a table or tray. The unloading mechanism is a carriage reciprocally-movable forwardly of the carrier and the carriage supports at least one hose holder engageable with a welt of a hose on the carrier, so that as the carriage moves forwardly, it pulls the hose welt along the carrier while simultaneously the hose toe is sucked into the carrier; continued movement of the carriage pulls the hose out of the carrier and discharges it in a straight, everted condition.
