PURPOSE: To speedily perform transfers to the next processes in such a way that arms to support vessels in which stockings/socks are held are installed radially and to be freely turned so as to maintain the vessels always in horizontal state.

CONSTITUTION: Stockings/socks which are pneumatically transferred from an automatic sewing machine through a suction pipe 20 are stocked at the position of a stopper 22 which is installed in a two-split cylindrical vessel 21 on the side of a bracket 18. Then, an engaging rod 24 is sent down by means of action of a cylinder 23, toe parts at the tips of stockings/socks are engaged, and stocking/socks are stretched through an air vent of the stopper 22. With release of the engaging state, the cylindrical vessel 21 is released from a cylinder 25 to fall down stockings/socks to be piled up in vessels 16 which are supported by means of suppor rods 17. When they are piled up in vessels 16 by the determined rate, the central shaft 7 is intermittently turned, holders 6 are turned, arms 5 formed on the holders 6 are turned with 45° of their respective angle so that the vessels 16 can be always maintained in horizontal state to the sole stand.
