Abstract (en)

In a method and a unit for automatically feeding a packaging machine (2) for socks (3) or similar hosiery products, the socks (3) are stripped in pairs off respective pairs of forms (7) in a processing unit (4) and are transferred to a respective pair of belt conveying devices (11, 12) which feed the socks (3) along respective paths (P2, P1) that converge on each other and, before laying the socks (3) over each other at the point of convergence (A) of the feed paths (P2, P1), act in conjunction with respective devices (22, 23, 29, 30) for adjusting the position of the socks (3) relative to each other in such a way as to align the socks neatly as they are laid over each other. <IMAGE>
