Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus (12) for handling hosiery is disclosed. A generally flat form (14) dimensioned to be inserted into hosiery is supported for motion on a conveyor chain (18). The form (14) is driven by a loading station (34) where hosiery is placed upon the form (14). A clamp mechanism (46) is carried on the form (14) for vertical motion along its length. The form (14) is thereafter moved past an elevator mechanism (16). The elevator mechanism (16) moves the clamp mechanism (46) upward until it contacts a bottom portion of the hosiery on the form and moves the bottom portion of the hosiery upward. Clamp jaws (52) of the clamp mechanism (46) thereafter clamp down on the hosiery placed on the form (14). After the jaws (52) have been clamped on the hosiery, the clamp mechanism (46) is forced downwardly by a cam plate (202).
