(57) A method and device for pairing socks, in particular men's socks, whereby two socks
(2) to be paired are fitted onto respective side by side forms (9) defined by respective
externally rough, tubular elements (10) bent into a U, and, prior to being fixed and
pressed, are engaged by a twin-gripper device (42), which grips and moves the longer
sock (2) to bring the rib (14a) on a level with the rib (14b) of the shorter sock
(2), grips the shorter sock (2), and pulls both socks (2) simultaneously to set the
respective ribs (14a, 14b) to an identical common position in which the ribs (14a,
14b) are retained by the respective forms (9) by friction.
