FIELD: textile industry.
SUBSTANCE: proposed device of angular orientation along axis of tubular jersey article, such as sock, comprises tubular element, facility for insertion and stretching of tubular jersey article along outer side of tubular element and along its edge; control unit, crown of recognising elements interacting with edge of tubular element. Control unit is programmed so that angular position of tubular article stretched along surface of tubular element is defined by reading of a signal sent by recognising elements in defined mutual position of specified tubular article, specified tubular element and specified recognising elements. Method of angular orientation along axis of tubular jersey article, such as sock, includes the following operations: stretching of article along whole surface of tubular element, so that intermediate part of strip surrounding the second edge is arranged along crossing line, in two points of tubular element edge; arrangement of crown of recognising elements along edge of tubular element; detection of angular position of strip on tubular element as function of interaction between crown of recognising elements and strip; identification of fabric pocket position by angular location of strip relative to tubular element.
EFFECT: more accurate detection of toe position for its embedding by means of sewing together or weaving.
