Abstract
A method and device for everting flexible tubular members, such as food casings and the like, is disclosed wherein a tubular member is axially displaced by a frictional engagement means, which means is deposed in a distal end portion of the member, and which frictionally engages the interior surface of said member and displaces said member to a point where the member is folded back over itself (everted) and then displaces said everted member, from the point of everting over the exterior surface of the noneverted tubular member.
