Abstract
Machine for turning stockings the right way out which has a first pair of rollers that have mutually parallel axes, are arranged laterally on opposite sides with respect to a median plane, and are rotatable about their respective axes with mutually opposite rotational directions. A gripper is provided for positioning a stocking to be turned the right way out between the first pair of rollers and a mechanism moves the rollers mutually closer or further apart to retain, between the rollers, the stocking carried by the gripper. Variable-speed motors turn the rollers about their respective axes and with mutually opposite rotational directions. A rod is inserted on command between the rollers and cooperates with the rollers to turn the stocking the right way out along the rod. A motor-driven slider moves the rod along its own axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the axes of the rollers, for the insertion of the rod between the rollers or the extraction of the rod therefrom. The variable speed motors for turning the rollers about their respective axes are controlled by a programmable actuation and control unit which supervises the operation of the entire machine.
