Abstract
Accurate and consistent location of jointed textiles within a mold is achieved by inserting the outer surfaces of the joint (12) into the cavity of an elongate, generally U-shaped member (20) and securing the joint to the meter, e.g. by sewing (21). The joint/channel member assembly can then be automatically gripped and placed in the desired position in the mold. The method is of particular application to processes involving vacuum member molding.
