Abstract (en)
A sock positioning device, particularly for short socks, in labeling machines of the type comprising a conveyor belt (2) which can move along an advancement direction and with at least one station (4) for applying a label (5) at the tops (6) of a pair of mutually superimposed socks (7) arranged so that their tops (6) are proximate to a lateral edge (8) of the conveyor belt (2); the pair of socks (7) is deposited on the conveyor belt (2) so that the feet (9) are folded onto the legs (10), orientated transversely to the advancement direction, and so that the end portion (9a) of the feet on the toe side is folded again onto the remaining part (9b) of the feet (9) in order to keep the label application region clear. The positioning device (1;1a) comprises overturning means (12a, 12b) which can be arranged downstream of the application station (4), along the advancement direction of the conveyor belt (2), and are suitable to act on the folded end portion (9a) of the feet (9) in order to fully extend the feet (9) onto the legs (10) of the socks (7). <IMAGE>
