Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0033039A1] For toe seaming hosiery knitted with reinforced and/or shaped heels on a high speed automatic toe closer having one or more hose carriers (12), a sewing machine and a mechanism for conveying a toe end portion of a hose on the carrier past the sewing machine for toe closing, this mechanism for instance including blades (16) to project the toe end into a clamp which transports the toe end past the sewing machine, a heel positioner (30) is provided. The heel positioner can be rotationally-driven roller (31) mounted on an arm (32) for movement into and out of frictional engagement with a hose on the carrier (12) under the influence of a ram (34), rotation of the roller (31) in contact with the hose causing a rotation of the latter about the carrier (12) until a mark on the hose aligns with a photosensor (36) whereupon a signal generated by the latter causes the ram (34) to disengage the roller (31) from the hose leaving the latter in a properly adjusted attitude on the carrier (12).
