Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a Device through which a piece of clothing is made from a single piece of fabric that is attached to a carrier at the start of a garment manufacturing process is and remains on the same until it is removed as a finished garment, the only piece of fabric or workpiece being made up of a continuous roll of fabric is peeled off and cut off. The carriers can also be provided with devices be, which form tools and with the working heads that endured on the one lying on it Work processes carried out on the workpiece interact.

Furthermore, the invention aims at a method and a device for hemming a garment, wherein a warre adhesive material on a workpiece is distributed and wherein the workpiece or the edge of the workpiece odan folded over is so that the heat adhesive unc also includes elastic or rubber material which may have been distributed with this, the layers thus formed then bonded together by applying heat to the layers.

The invention provides an apparatus for continuous automatic Manufacture of garments characterized by separation devices and seaming a pliable layer of fabric or cloth, the entire manufacture of the garments through this device starting with a stock of fabric and ending with a finished garment is feasible and any garment is made from a workpiece which forms a single piece of fabric and attached in the device to one of several carriers, one after the other moved by conveyors through a series of processing stations and in Ueder processing station to enable the implementation of one or more Operations are paused on the workpiece.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized by a device for packaging the finished garments in containers.

Further refinements of the invention are identified by several identical carriers, which can be conveyed cyclically one after the other through the device are, being the balar.

the carrier is a closed one arranged in a vertical plane Loop is. The same carriers are each provided with facilities, which also work steps on the workpiece while staying in a processing station perform, these devices with actuating devices arranged outside the carrier cooperate.

Finally, the invention provides a method and a device, by which it is ensured that starting material for the formation of a workpiece Supplied on a carrier, elastic material and heat adhesive material individually or is simultaneously fed onto the workpiece, the elastic material biased and in tension by clamping means forming part of the beam is held, whereby the workpiece is held on the carrier, the workpiece is separated is to form the finished or advanced form of the garment-s that Edges of the workpiece are folded over to the heat adhesive and the toughened to enclose elastic material and thereby to form an elastic hem, Heat adhesive material only on the edges or parts of the workpiece prior to training inelastic seams of the workpiece is fed through the heat adhesive material Application of heat is caused to join the seam surfaces together, the Workpiece is folded to form the shape of the final product, wherein the folding process is caused by collapsing the carrier that undesirable elastic and adhesive material from the folded workpiece Separating the elastic material and the heat-sealing material near the edges of the workpiece is eliminated that the edges of the thermal adhesive bearing the Workpiece to be hemmed to form a finished garment and that the finished garment is removed from the wearer.

The heat adhesive material and the prestressed elastic Material are forced to predetermined! U.

ven to follow and maintain them, with these curves partially or completely limit the shape of the garment being made or manufactured. The workpiece can be reinforced by adding material which is made from excess material of the workpiece can be cut. The device of the invention can furthermore have a device for packaging an item of clothing. One or several operations can be carried out in one or more processing stations are guided, with the carrier from processing statics to processing station promoted between the individual work steps by suitable conveyor systems will. Sufficient carriers can be provided so that, if necessary, all processing stations at the same time perform operations on the workpieces, while carriers that the Have completed the sequence of operations, are returned to the starting position, to be subjected to another series of operations. It turned out to be shown advantageously the carrier in this way either in a horizontal or to revolve continuously in the vertical plane.

As a suitable heat adhesive for joining the IJea piece forming Materials has become polyethylene in single thread form or band shape proved which retains its flexible properties after the gluing process has taken place, this gluing process is carried out by the application of heat and pressure. Other adhesives, such as rubber-based touch adhesives that can be used in liquid form, can also be used in the context of the invention.

There are methods for the automatic formation of elastic Hemming in garments is known, which is usually done with machine stitching are connected, in which a garment passes a stitching head and the Output device for. the elastic material is attached to the staple head, whereby the elastic material is dispensed under tension by a ratchet device and attached to the garment by tacking and having the free ends of the elastic i; aterials anchored to the garment by sewing over with thread will. These methods require monitoring and are not as reliable how to drive according to the invention, with the elastic material on the workpiece fed and by means of one or more with a supply of elastic material provided output devices is biased, wherein the output devices during the movement over the workpiece in a controllable manner ccs elastic material output at a speed that is lower than the speed of movement. The same or a similar output device can also be used for the thermal adhesive material by controllable output of the same essentially with one of the speed of movement output the same speed. The output devices are provided with switches or other devices that scan the position b @ -activation of organs for opening and closing the clamping devices provided on the carrier cause when the output device moves over the clamping device. In this way, the free end of the elastic matorial or heat adhesive material, which hangs out of the output device, anchored in such a way that the Movement of the output device over the Trä @ and the workpiece located on it the elastic material or the heat-sealing material in the manner described above is issued. When the movement is almost complete, the dispenser moves via a further clamping device provided on the carrier and vW starts the same, to grasp the elastic material or the heat adhesive material, the carrier is provided with a cutting device, which also by passing the output device is put into operation so that the elastic material or thermal adhesive material is cut off and a .tUck of the heat adhesive material or the tensioned elastic material Above the carrier and the workpiece located on it In the stretched state and on the same remains anchored and the workpiece is held on the carrier. Every The clamping device can advantageously be combined with the associated cutting device so that uniform, operated by a single actuator Facilities. Further Schaiter or other scanning devices can be provided at the end of the movement, whereby the drive devices are reversed evaluate to the output device in its initial position and in readiness for another job. If heat adhesive erial and elastic material are outputted together, both are taken from the Hold and cut the same clamping and cutting device.

Before proceeding to further training and hemming of the garment a description of a carrier is required, d & a carrier also contributes to the formation and hemming of the garment. Any porter has a generally flat plate on which hinges another generally flat plate is attached, the axis of rotation of the hinge in or above and parallel to the horizontal plane of the plate surface in the unfolded State 3 The hinged plate can therefore also be used as the fixed plate be folded and thereby fold up a workpiece held on it. if the hinge axis is above the plane of the unfolded panels, may have a flat molding or other flat plate interposed therebetween when the hinged plate is folded onto the fixed plate so that the workpiece lying on it envelops the flat forming part, which after the implementation can be withdrawn from final operations on the workpiece and the finished Garment for transferring the same to a packing station with it tEgt. The carrier is provided with a clamping and cutting device which attaches to the plates is rigidly-attached so that-the clamping and cutting device-through recesses protrudes in the sides of the panels. The clamping height or level is slightly below the Plane surface plane. The plates have raised ridges or borders understand which limit the desired elastic seams of the product and lie outside the same and generally contribute to the formation of the seams.

The function of the webs in the formation of the seams'; that they cause the edges of the workpiece to stand upright so that outer Faiteinrichtunge) can attack, which the folding of the workpiece edges before the completion of the hems by applying .ar.X.e and pressure to activate of the thermal adhesive material.

Two types of ridges are provided, i. H. straight bars and curved ones Bars, which each form straight or curved hems. Each type contributes to another Art for hem training. First of all, the straight webs are rectangular in cross section and the workpiece is arranged so that it covers the straight ridges so that when moving one of the output devices for the elastic material and the Adhesive material attached roll along a straight web the same the workpiece formed in the between the plate surface and the inner wall of the straight webs Corner presses and thereby causes the edge of the workpiece to stand upright. @ at the same time the static material and the heat adhesive material is put on the side of the corner, wherein the elastic material the edge of the workpiece due to the lower height the clamping device for the elastic material and the adhesive material forces in to stay in the upright position. The curved webs also have a rectangular cross-section, but differ in that the after inwardly facing, vertical wall has a groove over the entire length of the wall. As before, the workpiece covers the gerkürninten webs, but instead of the training the first fold of the curved hem through a roller becomes the under tension standing elastic material forced to follow the curvature of the wall and become to be arranged in the groove, while the output device which the shape of the web follows, emits elastic material in a controllable manner. The tension of the elastic Material pushes the material of the workpiece where it is beneath the elastic material lies in the groove, causing the edge of the workpiece to stand upright. The thermal adhesive material is spaced from the inwardly facing wall of the curved The web is issued by a series of closely spaced upright pins forced to follow the curve with the pins attached to the plate and protrude through and beyond the workpiece. A carrier is next with Alignment means provided which are rigidly attached to the body, whereby a Carrier within each processing station is correctly located. Can continue the surface of each plate with one or more resilient or compressible Mats be provided, due to irregularities in the surface of the panels or in the surface of the heat and during the final formation of the - SSume Pressure-exerting rods can be compensated and an even connection the seam 2 is guaranteed. The sides of the trit hinge are angled @ -th plate can be provided with engagement devices, such as rollers, by means of which the panel can be collapsed when these engagement devices come into contact with external folding devices.

The pins allow the creation of two forms of elastic Hem if they work together against the curved bars or edging. the The first form is that the elastic material is enclosed within the hem but can slide freely in the same, the second form consists in that the elastic material is adhered to the heat adhesive material when the hem is through the effect of heat is linked.

The first type of hem is made by using the elastic material is dispensed around a curved enclosure, as described above, while the thermal adhesive material is dispensed along the adjacent pins. This will be the elastic material and the heat-sealing material kept apart during the seam formation.

The second type of hem is made by using both elastic material as well as heat-sealing material is only dispensed along the pins, so that the two Materials during the application of heat to those caused by the folding of the edge of the workpiece stratification formed on the tape and thermal adhesive material thus dispensed are closely spaced.

In the method according to the invention, the sequence described above carried out by operations, the device according to the invention for execution this work is suitable.

The invention also includes that by the method or device garments made in accordance with the invention.

General Description Figure 1 shows the general arrangement of a Machine that makes disposable underpants from a roll with silicone treated paper web or treated paper fabric or a medical, in solidified 'paper material and its activity with a complete item of clothing packed and sealed in a polyethylene sleeve completed. When di @ machine is started, it continuously provides packaged Garments without further? about the replenishment of raw materials or the occasional Maintenance beyond disposal of discarded waste material.

The machine has a main frame 10 on which a row of separate processing stations5 a total of seven, rigidly attached are, each of which is created to carry out certain operations on one Garment is suitable. At one end of the frame 10 there is a material feed section attached and at the other end a packaging section (see Pigur 9) is attached, The procedure begins and ends in each of these sections.

a carrier 1 is arranged within each processing station, its The purpose is to take a piece of paper material attached to it one by one Station to station, starting in station 1, where the P & fflC «material or the workpiece is attached to the carriage 11.

The walking beams 17 are then horizontal to the end of the packaging Machine moves and thereby the man conveys all carriers 11 located on it to the next station. The walking beams 17 are then lowered and leave the Carrier 11, which are arranged in an expedient manner within the associated stations are. When the lifting beam 17 is in the passive or rest position, as shown, can the lifting fork 15, the carrier 11, which previously by the lifting beam 17 on the Fork 15 has been set down, lower it onto track 14. The fork 15 is instantly brought back to its uppermost position and is ready to take another Carrier 11 ready. At the beginning of the carrier promotion, the walking beams 17 rise in the above-described way up while lifting the resting on the elevator 16 Support and promote the same in the station 2. While the walking beam 17 of the Station 1 are away, the elevator -16 takes another girder 11 from the Conveyor track 14 and returns with the same to station 1 before the walking beam 17 return to their starting position shown. The carrier 11 are on promoted cyclically in this way step by step. Other AD probe devices, not shown in each station or each section are actuated when a carrier is properly inside each station is arranged and aligned, and if all these further scanning devices are actuated, the work steps of the processing stations will start again triggered. The scanning devices and the further scanning devices solve in this way the conveying process and the actuation of the processing stations in such a way the end, that the entire work cycle is self-sustaining. The duty cycle will However, it stops automatically when an error occurs, causing one of the scanning devices or other scanning devices are not actuated at the correct point in time. For example a carrier 11 can not be correctly aligned within a processing station or a part of the mechanism of a processing station can be jammed, so that he cannot finish his work. The total time of the duty cycle is the sum of the delivery time and the time it takes to complete an operation is required by the slowest processing station.

The following are the main functions and parts of the machine described in detail with further reference to iO 'Figures 1 and 2, wherein the operations carried out one after the other in each processing station are shown are.

The carriers 11 are suitable for the various on the workpiece 12 operations carried out when they are in engagement with external controls which are assigned to the various processing stations. First will be the carrier 11 described so that the further descriptions of the processing stations and their functions are easy to understand.

The carriers as shown in Figures 3. 3A to 3G and special from Figure 3 Referring to Figs. 3A and 3A, a carrier comprises two all of my flat cast metal plates 22 and 23 are connected to each other by hinges 24 that the plate 23 folded over the fixed plate 22, the hinge axis being parallel to the level of the plate surfaces and above the same, the carrier lies in the horizontal, unfolded position. An extension 22A of the solid Plate 22 extends below plate 23 and in a recess thereof, so aaa after dCri. Together the plates 22 and 23, the adjustable feet 25, which the carrier is standing - are not disturbed and while the now collapsed Support girders.

devices 65 and 66 are attached sc that they define the plate 22, and are located in recesses 66 and 66A, respectively. Clamping devices are in the same way 67 and 68 attached to the plate 23, and arranged in recesses 67A and 68A, respectively. Slots 48 in 49 are provided in the fixed plate 22 and are equal in size Slits 48A and 49A are provided in the plate 23. When the panels are collapsed are; overlaps the slots 9 and 49A, so that an open passage through both plates is formed. The slots 48 and 48A also form an open one Carrying out the folded panels.

Steel bezels 28, 29, 30 and 31 are rectangular in section fixed in corresponding recesses 26 @, 2 @ 2 @ 30B and 513 in plates 22 and 23, where straight borders 28 and 29 delimit the waist hems det @@@ dungsstücks, while the curved simp @@@@@ 30 and 31 the curved leg hems of the garment. These curved bezels 30 and 31 are on the hinge axis interrupted, so that the folding of the plates 22 and 23 is not prevented. The inward-facing walls of the curved bezels 30 and 31 are each provided with a groove 30A and 31A (see Figure 3F), while immediately next to the same walls, steel pin support plates 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 are fixed, which carry rigidly fixed vertical pins 32, the one to form a curve parallel to the curve of the curved rims 30 and 31.

Foldable, flat underlay mats 51 and 53 made of cork or egg composition and of the same thickness as the pin plates 33 to 38 taking inward from the facing edges 33A to 38A of the pin plates 33 to 38, cer, bezels 28 and 29 and the slots 48, 48A, 49 and 49A a limited space. Similar foldable, flat support mats 52 and 54 are on and above the mats 51 and 53, take the same area and extend over the pin plates 33 to 38, wherein the pins 32 protrude through and protrude from the mats 52 and 54 and the Natten stop shortly before the curved edging tines 30 and 31. From the figures 3E and, F these features can be seen in cross section. On the one hand ces And within the area bounded by the curved surround 3G A shaped ut or recess 39 is provided which generally is a gusset forms during one of the operations to be performed on a garment should be cut.

The sides of the plate 23 are rotatably attached.

Rolls 50 are provided which attack members menklappen when the Form plates.

Before the clamping devices 65 to 68 are described in detail, the feet 25 are explained in more detail. The adjustable feet 25 are with a Spherical surface 25A and a threaded extension 25B provided, which in the bottom the fixed plate 22 and the lug 22A is screwed. Flats 25D are at the foot 25 vor'-seen, whereby a key is used to adjust the distance can be to each foot 25 from the bottom of the plate 22 and the extension 22A protrudes. G-nuts 25C are used to set each foot 25 in the desired position Position provided. The spherical surfaces 25A act on adjustment buffers, which provided in the processing stations 2-6 and on the lifting forks 15 and 16 are. In Figure 2, preferred setting buffers 19, 20 and 21 are shown which are fastened to the frame -10 by cantilever arms 18. The buffers 19 have horizontal, flat surfaces, the buffer 20 is spherical or conical Recess Vers-ehe-n 'and the buffer 21 is provided with a V-Nerbe, which in are arranged in the manner shown.

When a carrier is lowered onto the buffers 19, 20 and 21, two feet 25 caught by buffers 20 and 21, in which they have a middle position take, and the other two feet 25 only rest on the buffers 19. This will properly align and position a carrier.

The underside of a carrier also has four bearing surfaces 26th provided, which during the carrier conveyance with the surface of the walking beam 17 are engaged.

The bezels 28, 29, 30 and 31 support along with the pins 32 the formation of folded hems in a manner which is described in the description of the Details of the activity of the processing stations can be seen. The mats 51, 52, 53 and 54 are used to compensate for irregularities in the surface of the plates 22 and 23 when performing joining operations in which Heat and pressure must be applied. Slots 48, 48A, 49 and 49A make one Access to the workpiece when the carrier is folded so that side seams can be formed in the garment. The clamping devices 65, 66, 67 and 68 may have two types of clamps: (a) form those labeled t'CLA " a clamp and knife or cutting tool and (b) those labeled "CLB" only result in a clamping device. The first step in training more elastic Hemming in a garment is the distribution of a polyethylene tape or strand of polyethylene together with one or more threads made of elastic .traterial or rubber band on the workpiece and the clamping devices 65 to 68 are used to catch and firm gripping of these objects as they are passed through each clamping device will. The "CLA" clips catch and crimp the elastic and polyethylene straps, while the "CLBi" clamps merely grip these objects. Each clamp will actuated by external actuation devices, such as pneumatically actuated pistons, the parts form a processing station. For example, if When the clamp 66 is viewed, the clamp CLA3 is actuated by an actuation push pin 42 opened downwards, while the terminal CLB4 se through the push bolt in the same way 43 opened downwards w4r.

The removal of the thrust causes the spring-loaded clamps CLA3 and CLB4 close again.

Figures 3B, 3C and 3D show the design of the clamping device 67 on average. All clamping devices 65 to 68 generally have this design The clamp CLB6 has a molded body 55, only a portion of which is shown is and in which a shaft 56 is rotatably mounted on which a clamping arm o0 and a lever 45A are keyed so that when the lever 45A is rotated, the clamp arm 60 also rotates. A spring 57 arranged around the shaft 56 is connected to a pin 58 located on the body and a pin 59 located on the lever engage and presses on the clamp arm 60 so that it rotates, this movement through the stop block 63 is prevented, which with the extension 60C of the clamp arm comes into engagement. Arranged between the stop block 63 and the extension 60C material is therefore grasped like scissors. The extension 6oc is with a rubber sleeve 60A coated so that the grip is improved. The lever 45A is with a high carbon steel stop 45 provided, which causes when an actuator moves on it that the lever 45A rotates against the action of the spring 57 and thereby opens the clamp CLB6. The stop block 63 is held at a distance from the body 55 by washers 63C and by one Screw 63A rotatably attached to this. The cone 63B limits the possible rotation of the stop block 63 to a few degrees, which however, sufficient for it to self-align with extension 60C.

Similarly, the clamp CLh5 is bolted 44 by the thrust of the lever 44A operated downwards, whereby the clamp arm 61, the extension 61C and the rubber sleeve 61A located thereon can be rotated. The cutting blade 62 is by means of the spring 62B, which engages the pin 61B in the clamp arm 61, is spring-loaded so that it follows the clamping arm 61. This arrangement ensures that the blade 62 does not engage the fixed cutting blade 62A before the material, in particular the elastic material or rubber band, between the extension 610 and the stop 64 has been seized. The stop 64 is also directed by means of the screw 64A, washers 640 and pin 64B by themselves.

Conveyor As already described, the conveyance of the Carrier 11 from one processing station to the next by walking beam 17 (see Figure 1) causes which move in vertical and horizontal planes. The walking beam 17 rest on rollers 72 and 73, which in turn rest on horizontal lower beams 70 and 71 rest, so that these lower beams 75 and 71 are indeed the walking beams 17 to one Force vertical movement, However, in a horizontal plane does not affect the walking beam 17 exercise. The lower beams 70 and 71 are on one parallel articulated connection pivotably mounted from the on the main frame part 80 pivotally attached members 74 and 81 and the main frame 10 by supports 78 and 79 pivotally attached widened members 75 and 77, wherein the widened links 75 and 77 by the connecting rod 76 -swivelable with one another. are connected. This arrangement ensures that any movement of the Sub-beam 70 is exactly reproduced by the other sub-beam 71.

When a pivotally attached to the main frame 10, pneumatically actuated Piston C1 is actuated with compressed air, it causes movement of the lower beams 70 and 71 vertically upwards and horizontally so that the walking beam 17 are raised together with the carriers 11.

While the lower beams 7a and 71 remain in their uppermost position, the lifting beams 17 are then in the horizontal direction under the pressure of a long-stroke double-acting, - pneumatically operated piston C2, which is also pivotable on the main frame. 10 is fixed, moved in a horizontal direction. Then will Pressure air is controllably discharged from the cylinder of the piston C1, so that the bars 17 and the carriers 11 are gently lowered, whereupon the piston C2 is withdrawn and the beams 17 return to their original position. Control of this Delivery cycle is carried out by switches, which are not shown solenoid valves or Control air valves not shown, these valves successively in the following Operate in the following ways: (a) The duty cycle is triggered by scanning devices for the "work termination" in the processing station; (b) Piston C1 begins to lift the bars 17 and operate a limit switch, not shown at the end of its movement, whereby (c) the horizontal movement of the beams 17 by actuation the air supply to piston C2 is triggered. Another limit switch not shown is actuated by the beams 17 at the end of their horizontal movement, whereby (d) the return of the piston C "and thereby the lowering of the beams 17 caused which in turn (e) triggers the return of the beams 17 to their original position. Further switches, not shown, operated one after the other, synchronize the movement uer Mub forks 15 and 16 with the movements of the bars 17. A special feature the inclined conveyor track 14, which connects the lifting forks 15 and 16 to one another, is the stop or buffer 81, which is raised by the pneumatic piston C3 is, if the lifting fork 16 is not in the correct position to receive a to, returning carrier 11 is located. In this case, the buffer 81 holds the return Carry out to wait for the lifting fork 16 to return. Electric motors 82 and 83 each actuated the lifting forks 15 and 16 by means of chains 84 and 85, which run over wheels 86 and 87 or 88 and o9 and attached to the lifting forks 15 and 16 which slide on rails 90 and 91 in the vertical direction.

Limit switches, not shown, limit the range of motion the lifting forks 15 and 16 in the upper and lower area.

Material feed section Reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 4, because the Station 1 also for feeding the material onto one Carrier 11 contributes. A roll of paper 100 is fed and is rotatable in supports 102 mounted, which are attached to the frame 103, which also the lifting forks 16 and supports the associated mechanism. Overtaking the roll of paper 100 when it is peeled off the paper from the same is prevented by a friction brake 101. The paper from the roller 100 runs around a roller 104A and from there over a guide plate 106, above which a clamping rod 107 is arranged, which by the relative of the frame 103 fixed pneumatic piston OS next be pressed down can, so that it firmly engages the laying on the plate 106 paper.

The roller 104A is rotatably attached to arms 104 which are pivotable are attached to the frame 103. The double-acting pneumatic piston C4, which is also pivotably mounted on the frame 103, presses on the arms 104, so that they occupy one of two positions, namely about 300 above or below the Horizontalon.

The purpose of this arrangement is to remove a piece of paper from the Pull off roll 100, which is carried out as follows: When the arms 104 are in the uppermost position, which is shown in Figure 1 in dash-dotted lines is, the clamp rod 107 is pressed down by the piston C5., whereby he grips the paper sliding across the platen 106. The piston C4 is then actuated, so that he has arms 104 and. the roller .104A moves down to the lower position, whereby a sheet 105 of the paper is pulled off the roll 100. The effect of piston C4 is then reversed so that. arms 104 in the uppermost position return and the Leave loop 105) which then goes into the station 1 egg can be introduced. The training of the loop OK takes place, while the bars 17 are in the "rest position before a conveying process. The formation of the loop is thereby. from; elutes that the beams 17 their "rest position" take in. The device for the material supply is easier to understand if the sequence of operations occurring al is described.

The feeding cycle can begin when station 1 is in operation on the piece of material previously fed to the now in this station has finished. A strip of paper 108, which is the free end of the feed roll 100 forms, protrudes over the ends 17A of the beam 17, the ends 17A each are provided with a pneumatically operated finger, not shown, through which aas free ence 108 his rise of the bar 17 can be taken. The work cycle begins with the rise of the beams 17, so that the carriers 11 are raised, whereupon the pneumatically operated fingers, not shown, grip the free end 108 and the clamp rod 107 is raised to release the paper, which is then over the plate 106 is pulled by ate rizontalbewegung the beam 17 while @ eating the lifting forks 16 are lowered to accommodate an empty carrier @ 11. If the the desired paper length has been pulled through station 1, a vacuum is applied ter gripping head 109 (Figure 4) onto the paper by means of a pneumatic piston C6 lowered, which organ grasps the same and is raised above the height that the next one Carrier 11 occupies. As soon as the paper is removed from the vacuum head 103 seized is, the fingers, not shown, the end 108 free, while the beams 17 their Continue the horizontal movement and at the same time the clamping rod 107 is lowered again to grasp the paper lying on the platen 106. The lifting forks 16 st-own-now in their upper ste position and carry an empty-n carrier 11 with them.

A clamping plate 110 (Figure 4) is then by the pneumatic Piston C7 -pressed down on the newly arrived carrier 11, which the paper carries with it, which has been released at the same time by the vacuum head 109, and clamps the same firmly to the 'plate 22 and 23 of the carrier 11, whereby the upright pins 32 pierce or skewer the paper. The station 1 is now ready to begin her other operations.

The beams 17 have meanwhile returned to their "rest position" 1 and another loop 105 of paper is peeled off and repeating one Prepared for the feed cycle. ' Station 1 (refer to Figures 4, 4A and 4B) -if the paper is clamped on the carrier 11 by the clamping plate 110 arranged in the station 1 is, output devices: 113 and 114 cross the carrier in the direction of in Figure 2 shown arrows "A" and give it in a controllable manner elastic or Rubber bands and polyethylene bands ads. When the output devices 113 and 117 cross the terminals CLB1 or CLB6, actuate scanning devices (not shown) two pins 115 (of which in FIG. 4C only one is shown), which by corresponding, durc boom 116 on the main frame 10 rigidly bAssembled pneumatic piston C8 pressed down earth. The pins 115 engage stops 40 and 45, whereby an opening of the Clamps CLB1 and CLB6 and the flag of the free ends of the elastic and polyethylene straps which are behind the output devices 113 and 114 is effected. Almost immediately then the pins 115 are withdrawn, whereupon the terminals CLBi and CLBó schlde.Sen and grasp the re-grinding elastic straps and polyethylene straps. If the output devices 113 and 114 continue their movement, the elastic becomes Band or rubber band released more slowly than it corresponds to the speed of movement would, whereby the elastic band is stretched and in it a constant tension is maintained. The polyethylene tape is running at the same speed released, with which the output devices 113 and 114 move, and is therefore designed with little or no voltage. When the output devices 113 and 114 end their movement, they exceed the terminals CLA3 and CLA8, which open and then grasp the dispensed rubber band and polyethylene tape and detach. The output devices 113 and 114 return to their starting position back and wait for another work step. During the movement of the output devices 113 and 114 become a cutting operation and a first folding operation by a rotary cutting blade 118, which is rotatably mounted on the output device 114, and by rolling 119 (only one of which is shown), with these rollers on both output devices are rotatably attached. The cutting blade 118 is engaged with the Edging 28 and traverses the length of the same, taking the one lying on the carrier 11 Cuts through paper to create a new free end 108. Another cutting blade can be provided on the output device 113, if desired, in order to avoid the above the border 29 of the carrier 11 lying paper to be cut exactly.

Figures 4, 4A and 4B show this arrangement and the mode of operation the cutter blade 118 and rollers 119 attached to the dispenser 114 sine. When the dispenser 114 moves over the carrier 11, the tape becomes polyethylene and rubber band issued from the head 120, which is located in front of the cutting blade 118 is located. This is followed by the roller 119, which carries the paper forming the workpiece 12 into the corner formed by the inner wall of the enclosure 28 and the plate 23 whereby the edge 12A of the workpiece 12 stands up, in which position it through the elastic strands 117 is held, which over the polyethylene tape 112 and the workpiece t2 on the rim 28. The edge is now ready for you following and. final folding process to form the seam 112A, which in de @ Stations 4 and 5 are trained. The same preliminary folding process is carried out on the workpiece executed by the not gese @ get roll, which is delivered to the output device 11 @ and causes the edge 12B of the workpiece 12 to be upright in abutment on the border 29, where it is held by the elastic cords 117A @ which are above the polyethylene tape 111. The clamp 110 is now raised and the output devices 113 and 114 are returned to their original positions, whereupon the operation of station 1 is finished and the carrier 11 is ready for conveyance to station 2, with the carrier holding the workpiece 12 carries with it, which by the stretched elastic strands 117 and 117A is held firmly on the same.

The output device 114 is now referred to in particular on Figures 4 and 4A. The design of the output device 113 is mirror image the same.

The dispenser 114 comprises a cast metal slide 121, which is slidably mounted on horizontal, parallel rods 127 and 128 extending across station @ and at each end at frame 129 the station 1 are rigidly attached, this frame bridging the main frame 10 and is rigidly attached to it. An electric motor M1, which is attached to the carriage 121 attached, provides the driving force which allows you to move the dispenser 114 caused by station i. The rotor Ml drives a gear 126 Gear 126A, which is engaged with a horizontal rack 130 which is attached to the part 131 of the frame 129, causing the rotation of the gear 126A results in movement of the carriage 121 along the rods 127 and 128. With the gear 126A is fixedly connected to a toothed disk 134, which controls the rotary movement on the shaft 139 by means of the toothed, flexible belt 135, which with the toothed washer 136 attached to the shaft 137 engages, this Shaft represents an extension of the overrunning clutch 138, the shaft 139 only in one direction. if hence the output device -114 If elastic bands or strands and polyethylene tape emit, the shaft rotates 139 in a fixed ratio to the speed of movement, but remains during the Return of the output device 1.14 are fixed. The shaft 139 drives the knurled roller 142, under which one or more elastic strands run in frictional contact and held thereon by an idle rubber covered roller 144 held in contact with the driven roller 142 by spring force wira.

The springs, not shown, are contained in the head 120, which is shown in FIG Figure 4A is omitted for a better overview, and attack the pivot arm 143, of which the idler roller 144 is an extension. Through these bodies-becomes elastic material only then controllably enabled when the output device 114 is in one direction moves, with the tension achieved in the 'elastic material through the entire transmission ratio between the gear 129 and the shaft 139 is determined, which practically equals 3 1/2: 1 is. The elastic or rubber material, which consists of three strands, is fed to the rolls 142 and 144 from spools 122, 123 and 124, which on vertical-en spindles 122A, 123A and 124A are supported on which they are free can turn. The spindles 122A, 123A and 124A are rigidly attached to the carriage 121. The elastic strands are not transformed into rolls 1.42 and 144 by suitable means shown te guide devices, such as pipes, guided.

A spool 125 which supplies a supply of polyethylene tape 125A, is removably supported by a spindle 132, those with one on of the coil engaging device 132A. The spindle 132 is with the friction brake 133 in connection, which dn advance or idle the spool 125 prevents when the polyethylene tape is peeled off the same. Not suitable The guide means shown bring the tape to the head 120, from ro it to a underlying workpiece 12 is fed, with it from the spool 125 only then is peeled off when the free end of the tape is held by a clamp on the carrier will.

The cutting blade 118 is driven by a flexible belt 141, which the rotational movement of the disc 140 on the shaft 139 to eggs not shown Disc and shaft transmits, which is connected to the cutting blade 118 in connection. The blade 118 is spring-loaded so that it rests against the rim 28 of the carrier 11 attacks and so a clean cut in the paper overlying the border 28 guaranteed.

When the work cycle of station 1 is finished, the beams convey 17 the carrier 1 and the workpiece 12 for S6ation 2, in the more elastic material and polyethylene is fed to workpiece 12, which is the first step in formation of the curved leg seams 145 and 146. In addition, a gusset 12C cut from the waste material bounded by one of the leg hems and used for Transfer the center of the workpiece, rotating it 90 ° and then transferring it to the Pins 32 impaled and made of the elastic and Polyåtnylenmaterial coming for distribution is determined. This gusset 12C reinforces the leg crotch of the finished garment.

Station 2 will now be described with reference to Figures 5 and 5A.

Station 2 Station 2 points. a 'frame 150 which'. the main frame 10 is bridged and rigidly attached to this.

Vertical rod-shaped guide rails 151, 152, 153 and 154 are Rigidly attached to the frame 150 parallel to one another.

A platform 155 is slidably disposed on rails 151 and 152, which guide the platform in a vertical plane, with the platform in all other level from the guide rails. is held rigidly. In the same way can a platform 15 @ under guidance of the rails 153 and 154 in the vertical direction move. @@@ horizontal cam 156 is attached to platform 155, the The shape of the cam generally determines the shape of the required leg seam 146 and with the cam directly above. of the area bounded by the enclosure 30 is so that the curved line of the cam 156 is parallel to the skirt 30. A dispensing head 159 which dispenses elastic or rubber threads and p @ ly ethylene threads, forcibly follows the circumference of the cam 156 when it is via a gear from Motor M2 is driven. The Xopf 159 can therefore slide around the bezel 30. In the same way, a dispensing head 160 follows the profile of the cam 158 that is attached to the Platform 157 is attached, and there are elastic and polyethylene threads rings around the thigh hem 145 with the driving force supplied from the motor M3. The mechanisms which achieve this nonlinear motion are the same for both buttons 159 and 160. Each platform 155 and 157 is vertical Direction moved by pneumatic pistons C9 and C10, which are attached to the only in figure 1 frame 150 shown are attached.

A gusset cutting head 461 is pivotable below the platform 155 attached, which has a heating wire support frame 463, this frame carries electrically insulating supports 463A, at the lower ends of which a heating wire 465 which is curved in the shape of a gusset blank 12C (Figure 2) is. A shield 466 is attached to the frame 463, but can be in a vertical position Move direction relative to it against the action of springs 464. The frame 463 is pivotally attached to lever arm 462, which in turn is attached to the platform 155 is pivotally mounted by pin 462A. The lever arm 462 extends further through the frame 150, in which it is gripped by the cam 460, which is driven by the motor M4 via a gear 459. The rotation of the cam 460 causes the head 461 to be lowered under the action of a spring, not shown until the shield 466 contacts the plates 22 and 23 of a carrier 11 and the workpiece on the same immediately outside the gusset-shaped groove 39 in this Plates stuck. With further downward movement of the head 461, the electrical The power supply to the heating wire 465 is switched on, causing the wire to glow and burns through the material of the workpiece where it overlies the groove 39. The electric The power supply is switched off and the head 461 reverses in his Starting position back. A vacuum head 400 is then attached to the gusset blank created and picks up the same and rotates one in another place while driving described gusset transmission mechanism @ s 450 the blank by 90 ° and places the same in the middle of the workpiece, where the blank is impaled on pins 2. Of the Vacuum head 400 then releases the blank and is withdrawn.

The cross section is now shown in FIGS. 5 and 5A Output head 160 described in detail.

On a body 161 there are parallel, horizontal guide rods 162 rigidly attached, which are slidably received in sockets 163 with a Block 163A are connected and bridged by this. Block 163A is on the shaft 166 rigidly attached, which is rotatably mounted in a bearing 165, which in the position shown in FIG. 5A on the cam 158. A feather Constant tension 164 is between sockets 163 at one end and the spring plate 1.64A ar: other end attached, the spring plate 164A with a ball race 164B which rests against the shaft 175 and thereby the body 161 to the cam 15 @ presses. As a result of the rotation of the shaft 166, body 161 and the whole follows Head 160 the profile of the cam as a result of the constant tension acting Spring 164. Under the body 161 is a vertical housing 172 fixed, in which a rotating shaft 173 and a rotating spindle 177 are arranged with the rotating shaft from the upper end and the rotating spindle from the lower end End protrudes. Inside the housing 172 is the wave 175 with the spindle 177 is connected by an overrunning clutch 176, creating a rotary drive the spindle 177 through the shaft 175 is only possible in one direction. One at the Toothed pulley 174 attached to shaft 175 engages a flexible toothed belt 173, which is attached to the circumference of the cam 158, so that when the head is moved 160 around the cam 158 the disk 174 is rotated. A knurled roller 178 attached to the spindle 177 is attached, also rotates when.

However, the head 160 moves around the cam 158 in one direction stand when head 160 moves back in the opposite direction. Of the Motor M3 attached to the plate 157 provides the driving force for the head 160 via the transmission 108, which is coupled to the shaft 166A via the coupling 167 with the shaft 166A forming an extension of the shaft 166.

One from the spool 184, which is on the spindle attached to the body 161 185 is stored, the elastic strand supplied becomes the roller 178 through a guide tube (which corresponds to the guide tube 183 attached to the other head 159) out, from where it passes between the roller 178 and the rubber-covered roller li9, which is pressed by the spring 180 into contact with the roller 178 and can rotate freely with this. The elastic material is therefore carried by the head 160 a speed corresponding to the speed of movement of the head 160 only released in one direction.

Polyethylene thread supplied from reel 170 passes between pinch rollers 181 and between others, from engine 182A driven pinch rollers 1.82 through, from where it leads to an end guide (which is the guide attached to the head 159 187 corresponds) through which it passes during output. the Roller 170 is detachably attached to the hollow spindle 171, but forcibly rotates with this, the spindle 171 apart from the braking effect of the friction brake .169, which prevents the roller 170 from overtaking or advancing, can rotate freely.

Likewise, the head 159 has a roller 168 made of polyethylene thread and a coil 189 of elastic strand material for the above in connection with the output described to the head 16Q. The motor M2 provides the driving force for moving the head 159 around orn cams 156.

Both heads 159 and 160 are provided with flexible cutting blades (only its blade 186 is shown, which is attached to the head 159), which behind the heads 159 and 160 during the dispensing movement in contact with the outer walls the curved rims 30 and 31 of a carrier 11 run along and thereby the workpiece Cut 12 where it rests over bezels 30 and 31.

With repeated reference to Figures 2, 5 and unc will now be Working cycle of station .2 described.

The platforms 155 and 157 are in the "idle state" raised position. The head 159 is in its clockwise direction Position (if you look at the plane of the drawing) and the head .160 is in place in a corresponding counter-clockwise position.

When a carrier 11 arrives from station 1, the working cycle triggered by the walking beam 17 reaching the "rest position", whereupon the clamping rod 191 is pushed down by the pneumatic piston C13 (FIG. 5A) and the workpiece 12 clamps on the carrier 11. Then heads 159 and 160 lower into the "ready position" and at the beginning of their movement it lowers the gusset cutting head 461 and cuts a gusset blank 12C, which is immediately in the by the vacuum head 400 actuated by the or mechanism 450 is transferred to the workpiece, with the head 400 being withdrawn again immediately.

When the heads 159 and 160 start moving, they will pass the pins 190 and 190A which are driven by pneumatic pistons 011 and C12, respectively are, and cause their lowering, so that briefly the terminals CLB2 and CL34 ground open and catch the free ends of the elastic and polyethylene threads, which grind the heads 159 and 160. From Figures 3 and 3F it can be seen that the elastic strands of each head are in tension in grooves 30A and 31A in the bezels 30 and 31 are introduced, whereby in each case the i: aterial of the workpiece is enclosed between the elastic strands and the groove, so that when the workpiece is cut around the outside of the bezels 30 and 31 the edges 12D and 12E of the workpiece 12 are facing up. The polyethylene threads run around the pins 32, whereby the threads forcibly that of the pins 32 follow the curve formed. The properly arranged one Gusset cut is held in place by the elastic strands and the polyethylene threads.

When the heads 159 and 160 near the end of their movement. they cause the lowering of further pins 11Y and 12A, so that briefly the Terminals CLA5- and CLA7 are opened; around the elastic strands and polyethylene threads to capture and sever. The platforms 155 and 157 then rise and the Heads 159 and 160 return to their "rest position". The clamping rod 191 is raised, so that the cycle of operation is terminated, followed by completion of all other operations the carrier 11 is conveyed to station 3, in which polyethylene tape is carried out before it is carried out an operation to form the waist hem is attached to the workpiece.

Station 3 Station 3 is shown in Figures 6, 6A and 6B, which reproduce only half of the facilities it contains, with the the other half a "mirror image". of the half shown.

The operation of each half of station 3 is to pull one off short piece of polyethylene tape 195A from the rotatable on the frame 194 Roll 195 by means of a movable vacuum head 196, which is the end of the tape takes over from a fixed vacuum head 197, on which the tape is held for a short time will. Then, the movable head 196 becomes one posture in the horizontal direction vicinity brought a third vacuum head 198 'which in the horizontal Level swivel mounted; is ready to record the tape from yopf 196 is raised. The fixed head 197 is then attached to the one behind the movable one Head 196 fixed abrasive tape, at the same time making a cutting blade 199 is actuated to cut the tape between heads 197 and 196.

The short piece of tape remaining on the movable head 196 is then transferred to the swivel head 198 and the movable head 196 is withdrawn, so that the swivel face head 198 is free under the thrust of the pneumatic piston C15 can pivot down to the underlying workpiece, on which the tape is glued by means of heated pistons 200 attached to the swivel head 198 and are briefly extended downwards through holes 201 in the swivel head 198. The piece of tape is then released and the swivel head 198 returns to its topmost Position ready to take up another piece of tape., In this way Two pieces of tape 192 and 193 are attached to each workpiece 12.

A detailed description of the mechanism will now be given. Each tape transfer mechanism is attached to a support frame 194, which the main frame 10 is bridged and attached to this. The movable vacuum head 196 is slidable on two horizontal, parallel guide rods or rails 202 stored, which are rigidly attached to the frame 194, and slides on this the effect of a double-acting pneumatic piston C14 on which he is attached. A flexible tube 196A connects the head 196 to a non shown Vacuum manifold. A hole 196C in the head 196 allows air to enter if it is not covered by the flapper valve 196B, causing a pressure drop in the head 196 is prevented. When the hole 196C is covered by KlAppenver.til 196B is, the head on a piece of tape by means of a plurality of small, not holes shown in the work surface, 196D, which are in fluid communication with the inside of the head 196 stand, to be fixed.- The flap valve 196B is through the movement of the head 196 actuates, whereby the protruding end of the flap valve 196B in contact with adjustable stops 203 and 203 attached to frame 194 204 is brought. Therefore, when the head 196 comes to rest on the fixed head 197, the stop 203 causes the hole 196C to be covered by the flap valve 196B, whereby the head 196 is fixed to the tape from the fixed head 197 on standby can be. In the same way, the stop 204 causes the hole l9óC to open, whereby the vacuum is released and the piece of tape held by the head 196. on the pan head 198 can be transferred when the head 196 is in its extended position Position is moved.

The vacuum head 197 is on an extension 194A of the Ra ^ n..er.s 194 by means a suitable support 2Q5 rigidly attached and is connected to the vacuum manifold, not shown connected via a solenoid valve not shown, which by not shown Limit switch is operated by movable head 196 at each limit its movement can be actuated. The vacuum in the swivel head 198 becomes the same moved by the movement of the head. The flexible one Pipe 218 provides the suction.

Near the fixed vacuum head 197 is a scissors-like cutter also attached to support 205; this cutting device being a fixed one Blade 199h and one pivotable on the fixed blade 199A. fortified any Blade 199, which is characterized by the action of the solenoid S1 and the crank joint 199B close.

The solenoid S1 is controlled by the limit switch, not shown put into operation, which controls the vacuum of the swivel head 198.

Figure 6 shows a cross section of the swivel head 198 which is in contact with a workpiece 12 lying on a carrier 11. The position of the swivel head in readiness to take up the tape is shown in dashed outlines. FIG. 6B shows a plan view of the swivel head, with the pneumatic piston is omitted for better clarity, since this piston in the figures 6 and 6A is sufficiently shown.

The swivel head 198 is rigidly attached to the arm 1980, which is attached to the other End is provided with a bushing 198D through which a shaft 206 extends freely, which is rotatably connected to frame 194 at each end. On each side of the Arms are mounted bearing blocks 198A and 198B in which same heating or "spot welding" devices 216 are not rotatable, but are slidably mounted. Springs 213 press the heaters with respect to the bearing blocks upwards.

On, the shaft 206 sinA on each side of the arm 1980 same levers 207 fixed by springs 214 and 214A equidistant from the same be held and center the arm elastically. The shaft 206..uncl the levers 207 can by the action of the double-acting pneumatic piston C15 on the lever 208 attached to the shaft. When turned clockwise The "Y" surface of each heater-207 engages on the surface of each heater 216 protruding pin 210. When the levers are in the opposite direction.

Rotating direction, the surfaces "X" engage the bearing blocks 198A and 198B. The heater therefore generally follows the movement of the levers 207.

Each heater 216 has a vertical, wave-like member 212, which is slidable, but not rotatable by the associated bearing block 198A or 198B and upwardly relative to the bearing blocks by springs 213 is pressed. The upper end of the shaft 2i2 has a recess for receiving it a spring 217, a flange pin 210 (on which the spring 217 presses) and a socket 211 'in which the pin 210 can slide freely. One slotted Clamp, 215 is attached to the lower end of each shaft 212, but against it thermally isolated. An electric heating cartridge 209 is attached to each slotted clip 215 taken through which it extends and in a spring-loaded bolt or Piston 200 ends, which is thereby heated.

After receiving a piece of tape, the swivel head 198 is through the Piston Ci5 swiveled down until its suction or its work surface 198D touches the workpiece 12 below, whereupon the piston continues the Lever 207 rotates clockwise and thereby pins 210 against springs 217 pushes down and the surface t3:} clamps on the workpiece. The rotation will continued until the pins 210 are completely pressed down, whereupon a further rotation causes the heating devices to move downwards until the Piston 200 touch the surface of the piece of tape, thereby attaching the tape to the "Spot welding" the workpiece. At this point, the lever 207 does not operate you limit switch shown, which causes the retraction of piston C15, whereby the swivel head is raised and for receiving another handpiece ready.

The carrier 11 located in station 3 is then moved into the station 4, where the further training of hems is carried out.

Station 4 Pass the work steps carried out in station 4 from completely folding over the upright edges 12, 12B, 12D and 12E of the workpiece, which then increases in its position by a "spot weld" by means of an application zt he piston are glued to the folds, making the polyethylene tape or the polyethylene thread under each bolt enclosed by the fold is melts and sticks to the material on each side of the tape or thread and so temporarily the bag of clothes fringes. These glue points are designated by 12F in FIG.

As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 7A, the station 4 has two rigid frame 300, which bridges the main frame 10-and in turn-from two rigid organs 300B and 3000 attached to the same are bridged.

Two subframes 300A rigidly attached to the main frame 10 are shown in FIG Center between the two frames 300 is provided.

When a carrier and workpiece arrive at station 4, the Working cycle triggered and carried out as follows: folding bars 301 and 30, which pivotally attached to the frame 300 by levers 302 and 304, respectively by the action of respective pneumatic pistons C16 and C1-7 down turned. The bars slide over the bezels 28 and 29 (Figure 3) of the beam 11 and. Therefore fold the upright edges 12A and 12E of the workpiece 12 inwards, where they come to rest immediately above the folds thus formed. Heated pins or plungers 316A and 317A which are adjustable in electrically heated Ledges 316 and 317 are screwed and heated by these are-by pneumatic pistons C22 or C23 pushed down, whereby the pin is pushed by the corresponding " Holes 301A and 303A kick into rods O 'and 303, touching the folds below and put pressure on them. The pens stay there for a few seconds in contact, whereby the enclosed polyethylene tape or the polyethylene thread Schmilst, whereupon the rods 301 and 303 are returned to their starting position. The heated bars 316 and 317 are adjustable under rigid bars 318 and 319 attached-which rigid on pneumatic pistons 022 and C23 which are attached immediately above the frame 300. Two vertical Guide rods 318A and 319A, which are rigidly fastened to bars 318 and 319 and are slidably guided by organs 300B and 3000, place the strips 318 and 319 fixed during movement in the vertical plane and also act as adjustable Limit stops by means of nuts and lock nuts on the upper ends the guide rods are screwed, causing the downward movement of the two whole Arrangements is limited.

Simultaneously with the actuation of the folding bars 301 and 303 are horizontal Folding plates 305 and 308, each of which is slidable on guide rods 306 and 307 or 309 and 310 is supported by on the surfaces of the plates 305 and 308 Rigidly attached bearing blocks 305B and 305C or 3080 and 308B are guided in a vertical direction Moves downwards in a position in which the plates are slightly above the surface of the bezels 30 and 31 of the carrier 11 arranged below.

This vertical movement is made possible by pneumatic pistons: C20 and C21 causes which in the vertical direction rigidly attached to the two subframes 300A and are attached to supports 314 and 315, respectively, on which the horizontal guide rods 306 and 3C7 bEw. 309 and 310 are rigidly attached, as well as by further pneumatic Piston C; and C25, which are also rigidly and horizontally attached to it sina, the pistons acting on plates 305 and 308, respectively. On the supports 314 and 3 = 5 rigidly attached guide rods 314A and 315.

sind.gleitbar guided through the upper ends of the two support frames 300A and prevent rotation of the. Supports around the axes of the pistons. Nuts and lock nuts are screwed onto the upper ends of the guide rods 314A and 315A and act as limit stops, so that they the height of the plates 305 and 308 above the Set carrier 11 at the lower end of its vertical movement.

When the folding panels 305 and 308 are in the lowered.

Position, pistons C24 and C25 are put into operation and slide the folding panels inward, removing the leading edges 305D and 308D of the plates come to rest on the upright edges 12D and 12E of the workpiece and therefore fold over the edges when the panels are over the bezels 30 and 31 to brush. The shape of the leading edges 305D and 308D is chosen so that one progressive folding of the workpiece edges results in which at both ends of the bezels 30 and 31 begins and ends roughly in the middle of the bezels.

When the folding panels come to rest, the holes 305A are and 308A in each of them immediately above the fold around the length each folding heated pins 310A and 311A, which are adjustable in curved, electric heated bars 310 and 311 are screwed, heated by these and with coincide with holes 305A and 308A are pressed on the folds where these are exposed through the holes, so that the folds by means of the therein The heated pins 31OA and 311A are then withdrawn and the folding panels 305 and 308 are retracted and raised to end the duty cycle, and then the Trger, 11 transferred to station 5.

The vertical movement of the pens and associated tilting bars 310 and 311 is effected by pneumatic pistons 018 and C19, which are on organs 300B and 300C are stored vertically and connected to support platforms 312 and 313, which consequently have to follow the movements of the pistons. Same guide bars 313B which is slidable through bushings 313C and 313D in organs 300 and 300C extend, stabilize the platforms during their movement and also act as limit stops by means of on the upper ends of each guide rod 313B screwed nuts and lock nuts. The heating strips 310 and 311 are adjustable attached to the platforms 312 and 313 below the same.

The heating strips and associated pins are all set to that the front surfaces of the pins are all in the same plane when they are are in the lowered position.

The elastic strands previously dispensed on the workpiece, which are still clamped at the ends, are now fixed by gluing Refoldings have been included. The workpiece and the carrier will then be used Station 5 is funded where the hems are finally finished by applying heat and Pressure along the entire extent of the seam, with the exception of those still to be formed short side seams 192A and 193A are exercised.

Station 5 The design of station 5 shown in FIG. 8 is similar like that of the previous stations, adding heating strips 355, 356, 357 and 358 are provided, the shape of which is the same as that provided in station 4, with the exception of that all pins have been replaced with continuous strips 355A, 356A, 357A and 358A are. The suspension of the heating strips is also similar, but as a result of the the larger heating surface presented to the strips in the workpiece is a larger one Thrust required to achieve a satisfactory connection and therefore every straight heating strip can be replaced by two identical pneumatic pistons C26 or C27 are pushed down with pistons C26A- and C27A behind piston C26 respectively.

hidden. are, however, with these. cooperate. The curved one Heating bar 357 can be pressed down by three pneumatic pistons C28, C29 and C30 while the curved heating strip -358 in the same way by pheumatic Pistons C28A, C29A and C30A can be pushed down, all shown in Figure 8 are hidden behind pistons C28, C29 and C30. All pneumatic pistons are acting on both sides and on the same support frame 350 or on the bridging member 351 attached, which is attached to both frames 350, which in turn on the main frame 10 are attached, which they bridge.

The straight heating elements 355 and 356 are adjustable with rigid bars 352 or 353 attached below the same, which in turn with the pneumatic Pistons C26 and C26A rigidly connected. are. In the same way si @ the krürrz.ten heating strips 357 and 358 on rigid support platforms 354 and 359 below the same adjustable, each of these platforms with the pneumatic Xolben C28, C29 and C30 or C28A, C29A and CjOA is connected. The support platforms 354 and 359 and 'the bars 352 and 353 can be water cooled if desired, to counteract the heat introduced into them by the heating strips. One A similar facility can also be provided in station 4.

When a workpiece carried by a carrier arrives in the Station 5, the station is set in motion, whereupon all the heating strips on the workpiece lowered into alignment with the glued seams, and the strips 355A, 356A, 357A and 358A respond to the same over a period of a few seconds pressed, creating the hems (in contrast to the short side hems 192A and 193A) are finally formed. The elders are then all withdrawn and the carrier is in cie station 6 for folding and forming the side seams promoted so that a finished garment is produced.

Station 6 As can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 9A, are used Approach of a carrier 11, which moves horizontally on the walking beam 17, to station 6 the rollers 50 protruding from the sides of the hinge plate 23 into recesses 360A in lateral levers 360, welen pivotable are stored on the main frame 10. At this moment the lever is in his the most counter-clockwise rotated position, shown in FIG. 9 in dashed lines Is shown outlined, and can rotate freely clockwise as the so connected pneumatic piston C31 (on each side of the frame 10) opened Have outlets. When the carrier 11 continues its movement, they generate rollers 50 pushing the lever recess 360A clockwise rotation.

sense around the lever pivot axis 3600. The lever begins to rotate and thereby raises the rollers, whereby the hinge plate 23 of the carrier 11 is also rotates clockwise and gradually folds onto the fixed plate 22. In the position in which the hinge plate 23 rotates through the vertical position, The rollers 50 leave the recess 360A and go under the combined effect gravity and horizontal movement of the carrier on inclined rails 361 over, whereupon the hinge plate 23 continues onto the fixed plate 22 without further Help through the lever 360 folds, this lever in its furthest clockwise direction rotated position remains, as shown in solid lines in FIG. Before When the plates fully close, a transfer plate 370 becomes lowered around the axis of shaft 377 attached to it by arm 370A and the swing block 370B is fixed by the action of a pneumatic piston 044 rotates to which the shaft 377 is connected via the crank 377A. The transfer plate 'will thereby arranged between Cc: folded plates, which are attached to the same put on and relax. The workpiece is now about the Transfer plate 370 folded, rests against the sides thereof and is ready to form the side seams.

As a result of the great arc which the ScharnJerclatte 23 makes, will be the seaming pistons C37 and 038 and the plate clamp piston, all of which rigidly attached to the underside of the platform 373, out of the path of the hinge plate 23 raised by means of the pneumatic piston C34, which is rigidly attached to the bridging element 376B of the frame 376 is attached, which is in communication with the platform 373, which slidably engages the vertical guide rails 374 and 375. As soon the plate 23 comes to rest in the station 6, the platform 373 is lowered and by the continued action of piston C34 on it in its lowest Location held. Pneumatic pistons C32 and C33, each of which has a clamping head 371 or 372 carries, the heads press against the folded plates, d indeed one at the bottom and one at the top so that the workpiece is on each side of the transfer plate 370 is gripped tightly so that the elastic hems do not contract, when the resilient ones holding the workpiece on the carrier are under tension The strands are separated before the side hemming. The elastic strands and Polyethylene tapes run over overlapping slots 48, 48A, 49 and 49A in the Plates 22 and 23 and the next step is to cut them off, so that the workpiece edges 190A and 360, 193A and 361 (see Figure 2), which consist of both Sides of the transfer plate 370 protrude, folded over and together tied together can be. Immediately after clamping the panels however, cutting tools 366 and 367, which may be blades, are preferred hot wires are raised vertically through slots 48 and 49 and separate the elastic strands and the polyethylene tape near that.

Clamp the carrier 11 off. At the same time, the cutting edges are also evaluated 362 and 363 raised through the slots 48 and 49, but just before the corresponding ones upper slots 48A and 49A stopped, thereby removing the edges 360 and 361 of the workpiece be folded up. Pneumatlscrc pistons C39 and C40 generate the vertical Generate movement of the attached cutting tools 366 and 367 and the like pneumatic piston 0. 35 and C36 the vertical movement of the cutting edges. 362 and 363. At the end of the first folds, the cutting edges 362 -and 363 stop in their uppermost position while complementary blades 364 and 365 in the slots 48 and 49 by the pushing action of pneumatic pistons C37 and 038 outside the cutting edges 362 and 303 are lowered so that those carrying the polyethylene tape Workpiece edges 192A and 193A over and onto the previously folded der and on lying cutting edges 362 and 363 are folded. To prevent the cutting tools 366 and 367 interfere with the latter folding process, they are withdrawn from the slots, when the cutting edges 364 and 365 are lowered. Electric heating strips 368 and 369 are then opened horizontally inwards by pneumatic pistons C41 or C42 the just folded workpiece edges are pushed and at the same time the cutting edges 362, 363, 364 and 36 @ withdrawn. The heating strips 368 and 369 exert heat and pressure on the folded edges ois, thereby 'the inward-facing ones Pieces of polyethylene tape 192 and 193 (see Figure 2) where the tapes border Glue on the material and in this way the edges 192A and 360 or

193A and 361 are connected together so that the manufacture of the The garment is finished, whereupon the heating strips are withdrawn and the Panels 22 and 23 of the carrier 11 flap open. begin while the platform 376B is in turn raised so that there is space for opening the panel 23 releases. The opening of the plate 23 is effected by pneumatic pistons C31, which rotate the fog 360 counterclockwise so that those on the surface 360B of the lever engaging rollers 50 are raised. When the plate 23 is a nearly assumes a vertical position, the clothes support plate 370 is in a vertical position (shown in dashed lines) raised by a pneumatic piston C44, whereupon the carrier 11 on the.

The lifting beam 17 begins to move into the station 7. The lever 360 rotates further counterclockwise so that the rollers 50 are over the top of the lever slide near surface 360R and thereby engage recess 360D on the rear side, the rollers 50 then come gently onto the rails 361 lowers so that with further movement of the carrier 11, the rollers 50 along the rails 361 run down until the plates are fully $ open again. The now from Lever 360 released from rollers 50 continues to rotate and eventually comes in his starting position to rest, so that he can take up the roles of the next Carrier is ready, which now moves to St &, ion 6.

Station 7 The now empty carrier 11 comes to rest on the lifting forks 15? whereupon four equal heads 378 attached by four to frame members 376A pneumatic pistons C43 are pushed down with; the head on both bolts each clamping device 65, 66, 67 and 68 (Figure 3) engages and thereby all clamps to release the remaining ends of the elastic strands and the polyethylene tape and polyethylene thread.

Air jets exiting from four identical nozzles 379 blow the undesired ones Parts from the clamps and so clean the carrier, which is now on the lifting forks 15 can be lowered to if necessary. for further use to the station 1 to be returned. The heads 378 then return to their starting position return.

The garment still attached to the raised transfer plate 370 can, if desired, manually or automatically by a transmission device removed and entered into an automatic packaging machine known per se will. Such a transmission device is shown in FIG. 9 and has a pair of horizontal and parallel guide rails.

387, which on the frame 367B of the station 7 above the same with one end and similarly on a packaging machine 390 to the other End are attached :.

One slidable on rails 387; stored carriage 384 is from Electric motor M8 moved back and forth along rails 387 with suitable control. The motor M8 drives a gear 385, which with a rack two combs, which extends over the length of the rails and is rigidly attached to them, whereby the required drive is achieved. A pneumatic piston C45, which vertically attached to one end of the carriage 384 carries a vacuum head 382, which he presses down on the leg crotch of the garment 13, or by this is due to that exerted by the head 382 and through the flexible tube 382A supplied suction adheres to the same. The head 382 is then raised and removed the garment from the transfer plate, which then moves into its horizontal The starting position returns at the same time to pick up the next carrier. To the Carriage 384 is then driven along rails 387 and comes to rest, when piston C45 and head 382 are immediately above a funnel 3 "'c-CA into which the garment is pushed by the piston C45, where it is removed from the packaging machine to £: is taken. The slide and piston are then returned to station 7. Appropriately packaged garments leave 392 finally the machine 390 through an opening 391. The working cycle is now ended, but within 6 to 10 seconds another item of clothing arrives in the packaging machine on and the duty cycle will therefore continue indefinitely.

Gusset transfer device When describing station 2 (see Figure 5) is a gusset transfer device 450 and a vacuum head 400 mentioned, but not described in detail.

This fundamentally new device will now be described separately.

It is recalled that the function of the equipment is to pick up a gusset blank and transfer it to the center of the workpiece and turn the blank by 90 °. From Figures 10 and 10A it can be seen that the device is attached to two supports 410 and 420, which in turn are rigidly attached to a "side frame 421 of the main frame 10. On the A pivot plate 415 is rigidly attached to support 420 and is attached to the support 410 a vertical pneumatic piston c, 47 rigidly attached, the purpose of which is to to impart a substantially vertical movement to the vacuum head 400. Through the Pivot pin 417 can be pivoted on pivot plate 415 on a straight, rigid star attached, the other end in the one on the double-acting, pneumatic Piston C47 attached bracket 42? by one extending through it Pin 409A is held. A socket is in sliding engagement with the rod 409 408A to which a support 408 is attached. The support 408 is on a flat Platform 407 rigidly attached, which slide along the rod 409 as a result and with this it can be raised or lowered when the rod is through the pneumatic Piston C47 is set in motion. By two identical supports 416 is with the upper surface of the platform 407 is a long-stroke, double-acting, pneumatic Piston C48 connected, the piston rod 419 of which is attached to a fork-shaped extension 401 is rigidly attached, at the other end of which the vacuum head 400 is pivotable and rotatable is attached. To a rotation of the piston rod 419 about its longitudinal axis and as a result to prevent rotation of the vacuum head 400, is a guide rod 412 which is in sliding engagement with the socket 413 attached to the platform 407, rigidly on the piston rod 419 by means of a slotted clamp 414, but against it attached offset, with the clamp on the piston rod near the fork-shaped Extension 401 is clamped and also rigidly attached to the guide rod 412. The vacuum head 400 can therefore be extended by the action of the pneumatic piston C48 or be withdrawn. In addition, an additional fan out of the head can result Sliding of the platform 407 carrying the pneumatic piston C48 along the rod 409, whereby; the thrust by a further double-acting, pneumatic piston C46 is generated, which is attached to the platform 407 by the same Supports 411 is rigidly attached below the same and against the pivot plate 415, with which it is pivotably connected by the pin 418.

The rotation of the vacuum head 400 in a horizontal plane is by the reciprocating motion of the vacuum head and platform 407 as a result of the by the pneumatic pistons C48 and C46.

The vacuum head is on the fork-shaped extension 401 through the housing 400B in which the vacuum head rotates freely about a substantially vertical Axis can rotate. Another rod is attached to an extension 402 from vacuum head 400 403 pivotally attached, which protrudes in sliding engagement through the support 404 which a spring-loaded pawl 405 is attached. The furthest from the vacuum head 4oo distant end of the rod is to be understood with a socket-like stop 406, which attached to it is. The effect of this rod-403 and of stop 406 are best understood when following a gusset transfer operation is described.

With suitable control and assuming that all pistons C46, C47 and C48 are fully retracted, piston C46 pushes platform 407 afterwards outside and comes at the limit of the piston movement immediately above the Zwcke'-cut to rest. The pneumatic piston C47 then pivots the platform and the. Vacuum head 400 down! Whereby the vacuum head 400 grabs the blank and fixed to it by suction. The vacuum head 400 is then driven by the pneumatic Piston C47 raised and extended further by the pneumatic piston 04. Before the end of the movement is reached, the stop 416 strikes the pawl 405, which When the stop 416 passes, it withdraws and passes behind the stop 416 Spring action returns to its original position. The stop engages the support 404 where it remains while the vacuum head finishes moving outward and rotated by 90 ° by the inhibiting effect of the now fixed rod 409 will. The vacuum head 400 is now over the center of the workpiece and is lowered onto the same by the pneumatic piston C47, with the gusset blank is deposited on it by letting the kuum fall off in the head. The vacuum head is then raised by the pneumatic piston C47 and the pneumatic pistons C46 and C48 are operated simultaneously to open the platform 407 and the vacuum k, opf 400 withdraw. When the vacuum head starts moving, will the stop 406 is prevented from moving by the pawl 405, thereby causing the VakuuWkopf rotates back to its starting position, whereupon the 40G stop on the: A sufficient force is applied to pawl 405 so that it retracts and lets stop 400 pass. Upon completion of the withdrawal, the facility will held in readiness for another gusset transfer process.

In a further, not shown embodiment of this device the pneumatic piston 046 is omitted. After pulling in, the vacuum head remains 400 immediately below the trimming head 161, wcbeS the hot wires on both Sides of vacuum head 400 move freely downward during the cutting process can. This makes the gusset cutting and transferring process shorter.
