<p>Transfer of garments, having limp portions, from one machine (L) to another machine (T) the needs of which demand that the limp portions are separate for delivery to separate receiving members therefor, is accomplished while the garments are moving in the direction of the receiving machine (T). The limp portions of the moving garment are draped over a guide rail (28); a second guide rail (30) is encountered by the limp portions, this rail being positioned to interpose itself between the advancing limp portions, with the result that one limp portion becomes draped over each rail. Thanks to a subsequent divergence between the rails (28, 30), the said portions are separated from one another and are guided by the rails in this state to the intended receiving members (12 min , 12 sec ). Adjacent the receiving machine (T), the apparatus includes positive drive means (40) constituted by driven endless loops (42) which seize each limp portion and advance them individually with precision to their allotted receiving members (12 min , 12 sec ). The invention is particularly applicable to pantihose manufacture e.g. for transferring part-finished pantihose garments from a line closer to a toe closer.</p> |
