Mounted beneath the take-down, is a framework 20 with top and bottom plates 21, 22 having openings 23, 24 aligned with the vertical line of delivery of the knitted socks and with the funnel shaped inlet 26 of the discharge tube 27, 28. Air is blown into pipe 28 to create suction. A pusher head 30 has a smooth fabric engaging surface 32 and carries a V-shaped transparent plastics shield part 31. Face 32 is convex in elevation and concave in plan. Head 30 is carried on the piston rod 33 of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder 34.
