Next, the operation will be described. On the track 3 of the sock finishing machine, at the position H of the sock insertion portion, the heel fitting template is shown in FIG.
When stopped in a parallel state in the expanded state shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 1, the operator inserts the sock opening portion into the sock insertion plate 10 of the inspection template Ab at the inspection template insertion position X of the sock. Then, by the action of the sensor by inserting the socks, the sock lifting mechanism Aa of the sock inspection means A is operated to cause the outer running portion 16a of the endless belt 16 to run upward, and the outer running portion 16a of the sock 2 The socks 2 are brought into contact with the inside, and the socks 2 are combed up by being inserted into the inspection template Ab by the friction. At that time, the toe portion 2a and the foot portion 2b of the sock are stretched, and the panty portion 2c is extended.
In the wrinkled state, the operator looks through the inspection template Ab through the mirror 19 and inspects the stretched part of the sock 2 for any scratches or dirt.

Next, if there is no abnormality as a result of the inspection, the inspection template Ab in which the inspected sock 2 is inserted by operating the template transfer mechanism Ae is inserted from the inspection template insertion position X to the sock of the sock attachment / detachment plate Ba. While moving to the receiving position Y, the template angle changing mechanism is operated to bring the inspection template Ab into a vertical state. If the inspection results in a defective product, the push button switch is pressed to reversely operate the motor, and the outer running portion of the endless belt is run downward to insert the sock 2
Is pushed down to the lower side of the inspection template and is withdrawn, and in the embodiment, the next sock is immediately inserted and inspected. (However, in reality, the rate of defective products is very small and does not significantly reduce work efficiency.)

Then, the attachment / detachment plate lifting mechanism Bc is operated to lower the sock attachment / detachment plate Ba standing by above the inspection template Ab from the PI position shown in FIG. 1 to the P2 position, and the inspection template Ab is moved. As shown in FIG.
The toe portion 1a of the template is inserted into the finishing template 1 and 1 that has stopped expanding at the position H of the sock insertion portion on the track 3 of the sock finishing machine shown in FIG.
Is held at the required interval. Then, the template transfer mechanism Ad is reversely operated to remove the sock 2 from the inspection template Ab.
Is moved from the sock receiving position Y to the inspection template insertion position X, the template angle changing mechanism is reversely actuated, the inspection template Ab is tilted, and the insertion inspection of the sock 2 is performed, and the attachment / detachment plate lifting mechanism Bc is installed. Reverse the operation to attach the sock attaching / detaching plate Ba to P
Raise from position 2 to position P1.

Then, the attachment / detachment plate turning mechanism Bb is operated to turn the sock attaching / detaching plate Ba from the P1 position to the P3 position to the P4 position shown in FIG. Then, the sock attaching / detaching plate Ba is lowered by operating the attaching / detaching plate elevating / lowering mechanism Bc, the sock 2 is inserted into the finishing template 1, and the gap adjusting mechanism Cb is reversely operated to adjust the adjusting plate Ca.
Is removed from the finishing template 1, and sock attaching / detaching plate B
a is lowered to the position P5, the sock 2 is inserted and attached to the vicinity of the lower root 1c position of the finishing template 1, and then the detachable plate turning mechanism Bc is operated to attach the sock detachable plate Ba to the position P5.
The sock attachment / detachment plate Ba is detached from the finishing template 1 to transfer the socks 2 to the finishing template 1, and then the attachment / detachment plate lifting mechanism Bc is reversely operated to move the sock attachment / detachment plate. Ba is raised from the 2 position to the P1 position and returned to the original position, during which the finishing template 1 with the sock 2 inserted is moved by one pitch, and the next finishing template 1 is transported to complete one step. .

As a second method, the sock attaching / detaching plate that has received the sock 2 from the inspection template Ab is shown in FIG.
After ascending from 2 to the P1 position, the detachable plate swivel mechanism Bb is operated to swivel the sock detachable plate Ba from the P1 position to the P3 position, and further to the P4 position by approximately 180 degrees.
Insert the sock 2 from the toe part 1a of the finishing template 1, and then,
The sock attaching / detaching plate Ba is further rotated by about 180 degrees from the P4 position to the P1 position, the sock attaching / detaching plate Ba is separated from the finishing template 1, the socks 2 are transferred to the finishing template 1, and the socks 2 are finished by the finishing template 1. Temporarily insert (the socks are inserted to a position slightly below the ankle of the finishing template). When this sock 2 is temporarily inserted into the finish template 1, the pull-down member elevating mechanism Db of the sock increasing / inserting means D shown in FIG. 12 is operated to lower the pull-down member 93 and insert it between the template 1 and the template 1. Then, when further descending, the adjusting plate elevating mechanism Cc is operated so that the pulling down bar 93a does not interfere with the adjusting plate Ca to lower the adjusting plate Ca, and the lowering bar 93a lowers the sock 2 to the lower root of the finishing template 1. It is also possible to insert the member up to the position 1c, that is, to insert it to a substantially complete state, and then raise the pull-down bar 93a and the adjustment plate Ca to return them to the original position.

The sock 2 is inserted into the template 1 until it is almost completely attached. The toe portion 2a of the sock is inserted into the toe portion of the template 1, and the panty portion 2c of the sock 2 is attached to the template. Since the sock insertion itself is in a perfect state without any reworking, the disturbance of the seam position of the sock cannot be corrected by the device of the present invention, so the position of the next step is not corrected. At, a device for correcting the disorder of the seam position of the sock is provided or is corrected by the operator.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the sock inspection means for combing-up inspection inserted in the inspection template and the detachable plate are formed in a shape to be inserted into the heel fitting template. Receiving socks that have been inspected from the inspection template and inserting and transferring them to the finishing template socks transfer means and the sock attaching / detaching plate of the sock transferring means can be inserted into the finishing template, and the spacing between the finishing templates is regulated. Since the work can be performed automatically in parallel by combining with the template spacing adjustment means, the worker only needs to insert the sock into the inspection template and inspect it, and the sock is attached to the heel. It can be attached to the board, which saves labor. In addition, since the template spacing adjustment means is provided with an adjustment plate lifting mechanism that can move up and down in the length direction of the finishing template, it is possible to attach sock insertion and attachment means, and the socks are almost completely attached to the template. It is possible to insert the socks up to this state, and it is not necessary to have an operator to add and insert socks in the subsequent process, so that further labor saving can be expected.
