Run in the same direction. When the opening of the sock is inserted into the inspection template while the endless belt 115 is running, the outer running portion 115a of the endless belt contacts the inside of the sock, and the friction causes the sock to be inserted into the inspection template. At that time, the toes and feet of the sock are stretched, the panty portion is in a wrinkled state, and the operator can inspect the stretched part of the sock.

In the latter technique, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-43062, at least one sock inspection machine is provided with a plurality of sock mounting templates at the sock insertion position of the sock finishing machine.
