Abstract
A device for the automatic transfer of pantyhose and similar manufactured articles from a toe sewing machine, of a carrousel type with vertical axis, to a drawing machine of the type having a pair of vertical fixed shapes, includes a gripper for gripping the elastic edge of the articles in a loading station of a sewing machine, in order to transfer an elastic edge out of the sewing machine, overturning the edge, and for keeping the pantyhose in pendent and overturned attitude. The device includes a pusher for picking up the elastic edge of the pantyhose from the gripper while stretching it in the form of a rectangle and transferring the article in a pendant attitude to a predetermined position relative to the shapes of the drawing machine. A transfer device for transferring the article onto the drawing machine effects the fitting of the legs of the pantyhose articles on the relevant shapes. In case of stopping of the toe sewing machine, the drawing machine is fed normally through the picker which is manually loaded with the articles, and in case of stopping of the drawing machine, the sewing machine can unload the articles into a provisional store. The machine of the present invention is also suitable for transferring stockings and socks from the same toe sewing machine to the same drawing machine.
