<p>A method and apparatus is disclosed for low cost, high production setting of pockets on tubular shirt bodies. An indexable turret apparatus (25) is provided forming a plurality of radially extending work platforms (30) arranged successively to receive and support and position pocket plies thereover. At successive index positions, the pocket plies are folded and clamped on the front of the shirt bodies, then sewn to the shirts in the desired manner, and then removed and draped over a stacking bar (104), for eventual further processing. A single operator, working at the load station, places the shirt bodies and pocket parts in position, after which successive indexings of the equipment cause the necessary production operations to take place. Although each work platform contains several mechanisms, which are selectively actuated at different index positions, the operating devices for these are mounted on the fixed central turret structure, minimizing the number of actuating devices employed and avoiding the need for slip rings, rotary fluid couplings and the like.</p> |
