Title: Apparatus for turning a tubular fabric inside out

Abstract: A machine is disclosed for turning inside out a tubular fabric (e.g. stockings), which comprises a fabric-container, a tube for turning the fabric inside out, said tube overhangingly extending from the container, an air-drawing and blowing unit for blowing air into and drawing air from said tube, air-stream deflecting means to cause the blown air-stream to be deflected towards the outside face of the tube and valve means. The mechanical structure is simplified over that of the devices of the prior art and the operation becomes continuous instead of being intermittent. Manual manipulations are virtually suppressed.
