(54) Device for positioning an item to be sewn, for sewing machines, particularly for sewing labels onto hosiery items in automatic labeling machines


(57) A device for positioning an item to be sewn, for sewing machines, particularly for sewing labels onto hosiery items, in automatic labeling machines. The device comprises a slider (2) which can slide along a first actuation path (3) on a plane which is perpendicular to the working axis (4) of the needle of the sewing machine. The slider (2) is rigidly coupled to a flap (5) which can be placed in the needle work area below the item to be sewn. The slider (2) further supports, above the flap (5), a complementary flap (9) which can move on command towards or away from the flap (5) in order to produce, in cooperation with the flap, the engagement or release of the item to be sewn. First actuation means (10) are provided which act on command on the slider (2) to move it in one direction or in the opposite direction along the first actuation path (3) in order to vary as required the region of the item that is affected by the stitches.
