An apparatus for automatic loading socks on forms (1) comprises a suction unit (20) at the entry, a carousel (10) with several stations, a sock positioning unit (30), a sock tucking up unit (40) and a withdrawing and loading robot (50). The carousel has heads (11) carrying elongated supports (12) on which socks (2) are put partially or completely. The heads (11) rotate integrally to the carousel (10) carrying the elongated supports (12) through four following stations and respectively a station at the entry (2) for opening the socks and putting them onto the elongated supports (12), a positioning station (3), a tucking up station (4) and a withdrawing station (5). The socks are widened at the entry by means of suction counter rotating rollers, whereas the tucking up step is carried out by means of tangential friction rollers counter rotating and the loading step is carried out by means of a two stations robot with arms capable of raising and lowering as well as of rotating to load the socks on the steaming forms, by means of fingers that are widened and then approached with respect to each other.

La présente invention concerne un appareil de chargement automatique de chaussettes sur des formes (1). Cet appareil comprend en entrée un module d'aspiration (20), puis un carrousel (10) à plusieurs postes, un module de positionnement des chaussettes (30), un module de retroussage des chaussettes (40), et un robot d'enlèvement et de chargement (50). Le carrousel comporte des têtes (11) portant des supports de forme allongée (12) sur lesquels les chaussettes (2) sont mises partiellement ou complètement. Les têtes (11) tournent intégralement vers le carrousel (10) portant les supports de forme allongée (12) en passant par les quatre postes suivants puis respectivement par un poste en entrée (2) pour ouvrir les chaussettes et les mettre sur les supports de forme allongée (12), un poste de positionnement (3), un poste de retroussage (4), et un poste d'enlèvement (5). Les chaussettes sont élargies à l'entrée au moyen de rouleaux aspirants contrarotatifs, alors que l'opération de retroussage s'effectue grâce à des rouleaux contrarotatifs à friction tangentielle, et que l'opération de chargement est exécutée grâce à un robot à deux postes dont les bras sont capables de se soulever et s'abaisser ainsi que de tourner de façon à charger les chaussettes sur les formes à vapeur, au moyen de doigts qui s'élargissent et se rapprochent l'un de l'autre.
