Abstract
Device for turning hosiery items inside out including elements for gripping a hosiery item and moving it along an advancement direction so that the top of the hosiery item is orientated in the advancement direction, and opening elements that engage the hosiery item and act transversely to the advancement direction to open the top of the hosiery item. The device furthermore includes elements for turning the hosiery item inside out that comprise a first component that can be inserted in the hosiery item through the open top, until it reaches proximate to the toe, and has, starting from its end meant to be inserted in the hosiery item, a cavity for the insertion of a second rod-like component which can engage the toe of the hosiery item arranged at the end of the first component. The second component can be inserted in the first component in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion of the first component in the hosiery item, turning the hosiery item inside out along the second component. There are also elements for removing the inside-out hosiery item from the second component.
