Abstract (en)

A looper line toe closer (10) has an upstanding indexable turret or carousel (20) mounting a plurality of hose carriers comprising horizontally extending slotted toe holders (11). Each holder (11) is mounted on a support block (36) for rotation about a horizontal axis so that, after loading a hose end in its slot (32), the holder can be inverted such that the hose is draped over one edge (48) of the holder (11) with its toe to be seamed supported by the holder. In this position, the hose is brought to a seaming station (B) by rotation of the turret or carousel (20), whereupon an endless belt (71) is pressed against the hose to slide the latter from the holder (11) and across a workplate (16) of a sewing machine (17).
