Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a gusset to manufactured articles, and especially articles such as panty hose and other similar products, involve the use of a funnel-like element having an upper edge which has a shape and dimension corresponding to the gusset to be applied and includes projecting acicular teeth. The product to which the gusset is to be applied is supported over the mouth of the funnel-like element by the teeth. The gusset is applied and clamped into place and a sewing machine secures the gusset to the finished product. When the operation is completed, the teeth can be retracted and the finished product drawn down through the funnel-like element by a pneumatic transfer device.
