Abstract
An improved assembly for facilitating the closing of an end portion of a tubular hosiery blank positioned upon a support assembly includes a tubular unit having a metallic hollow core provided with a molded urethane coating covering the outer portion of the core, and having diametrically opposed urethane fins defining guide slots for supporting and freely slidably receiving therein reciprocable blades. The radially extending urethane fins are tapered outwardly and extend substantially the full length of the core member.
Claims8
In an apparatus having clamping and sewing instrumentalities for closing an end portion of a tubular hosiery blank, and an indexable turret assembly including a plurality of displaceable blank support assemblies for sequentially positioning the support assemblies at a series of work stations, each said support assembly including an elongated tubular unit secured to the turret assembly, blade means, and actuator means for selectively displacing said blade means, said tubular unit including core means and means encompassing said core means, said encompassing means including opposed fins, said fins defining slots therein for slidably supporting and guiding said blade means.
In an assembly for supporting or tubular hosiery blank including an elongated tubular unit for supporting and guiding of plurality of blades as the blades are selectively reciprocated to present a blank end portion to a prescribed location for subsequent sewing of the blank end portion, said tubular unit including an elongated, hollow cylindrical portion having diametrically opposed fins integral therewith, each of said fins defining a radial slot extending longitudinally of said cylindrical portion for slidably receiving a blade therein, said cylindrical portion and said fins being of molded, resin construction, each fin being tapered and reduced in thickness as it extends radially from said cylindrical portion.
