Abstract (en)

The invention relates to textile garments, in particular the manufacture of men's briefs having a concealed gusset. The apparatus described comprised first and second means for supporting respectively a back panel (12) and a front panel (14) of the briefs, the front panel comprising a portion having a double thickness of material in at least a marginal region (18, 20) thereof. The marginal portions of the front panel are to be seamed to corresponding marginal portions (16) of the back panel to complete said gusset. A ply separation arrangement (36, 38) is adapted to separate the plies of the double thickness of material and to turn one ply in a first reverse direction so that its edge is in register with the edge of the supported back ply on one side ply thereof and to turn the second ply in a second reverse direction so that the edge of the second ply is in register with said edge of the back ply at its opposite side. Further means are also provided for seaming together marginal portions adjacent the three edges (16, 18, 20), and for everting the seamed gusset so formed so as to conceal the stitched seam.
