release actuators 467 and 469 are designed to engage the ends 340c 330c of upper and lower clamp arms 340 and 330 and fixture latch 474 to secure the fixture during rotation a fabric brief combined front and back panels is transferred from combining fixture 300 to clamp arms 414 as follows upstream conveyor 100 positions and raises fixture 300 in front of pivot assembly 460 as shown in fig5 pivot point 464 and base 470 slide forward so that pivot assembly 460 engages fixture 300 as pivot assembly 460 engages fixture 300 actuator rod 468 engages control rods 374 and engagement rods 466 enter transfer engagement bushings 314 and fixture latch 474 engages slot 382 fixture 300 is then lifted to a vertical position by pivoting base 470 at pivot point 464 once fixture 300 is in the vertical position retracted carriage 412 is lowered such that the clamp arms 414 which are in the open position surround the brief carriage 412 then extends clamp arms 414 are now positioned such that each pair of opposed clamp arms has one clamp arm on the exterior circumference of the brief and one clamp arm on the interior circumference of the brief the clamp arms are then put in the closed position by actuator means 416 so that each of the four sets of the clamp arms 414 is gripping the brief on a separate point along its circumference and fully along its length actuator rod 468 still engaged with control.
