Abstract:
Device for turning tubular textile products inside out comprising:a suction channel (2) for picking up the textile product (3) from a feed and conveying station by a flow of air to an input station (5)a supporting frame (8)a tubular turning body (22) associated to the frame (8) mobile between an idle position and at least one working position at which it turns the textile product (3) inside outmeans for creating suction inside the tubular turning body (22) when this latter is in the working positionpick-up means (21) associated to the frame (8) situated so as to grip the textile product (3) at its edge and place it in position round the tubular turning body (22)characterized in that it comprises, in line between the suction channel (2) and the tubular turning body (22):means (7) for pressing the textile product (3) during its passage, placed downstream of the input station (5)two conveyor belts (11) engaged to the frame (8) having an active surface (12) substantially parallel to the direction of feed (6) of the textile product (3), placed between the pressing means (7) and the tubular turning body (22) whose end (22a ), in its working position, lies inside the frame (8) between the two conveyor belts (11)a first pair of pick-up means (21) placed, on a first longitudinal geometrical plane of symmetry of the pressed textile product (3), at each end of said textile product (3) and a second pair of pick-up means set on a second transversal geometrical plane of symmetry orthogonal to said first geometrical plane respectively on either side of said textile product (3), permitting the pick-up means (21) of each pair, by pulling in the opposite direction on the edges of the textile product, (3) on leaving the conveyor belts (11), to open it in a practically square shape substantially in line with the tubular turning body (22) with sides considerably longer than the external diameter of said tubular turning body (22).
