Abstract
Apparatus for rapid loading of pantyhoses onto a stocking finishing medium having a pneumatic reversing mechanism including two tubes for receiving the legs of the pantyhoses. The apparatus includes a carrousel structure including at least two intermittently rotating radially arranged arms, each of the arms including a support for a panty portion of the pantyhoses, prongs to engage an elastic edge portion of the panty portion for opening thereof and stretching it into a generally rectangular configuration, removing the panty portion from the support and superimposing the panty portion on the tubes, then reversing the panty portion thereon while the pneumatic reversing mechanism draws the legs into the tubes. A track extends radially from the center of the carrousel towards the outer periphery thereof, and a carriage moves the prongs with the pantyhose thereon from the support to the tubes.
