<p>A method and an automatic apparatus (10) suitable for steam-ironing pairs of socks and the subsequent removal from respective pairs of ironing forms (14A, 14B), maintaining the socks of each pair alongside one another. The ironing forms (14A, 14B) for each pair of socks are fastened to a pair of shuttles (13A, 13B) configured and positioned for supporting the two ironing forms (14A, 14B) on parallely arranged and spaced apart planes. Each pair of shuttles (13A, 13B) are sequentially movable along branches (I, II, III, IV) of a quadrangular path comprising a boarding zone (15) for loading each pair of socks wherein the shuttles and the ironing forms (14A, 14B) of each pair of shuttles (13A, 13B) are axially spaced apart from one another; the apparatus further comprises a set of combs (40, 43) for approaching and moving away the pairs of shuttles (13A, 13B) at the boarding zone (15) an ironing station (17), a drying station (18) and a station (19) for removal at each pairs of socks by maintaining each pair of ironing forms (14A, 14B) and each pair of socks, alongside one another.</p> |
