Device for folding up and in particular opening up shirts or similar items of clothing

The invention relates to a device for folding up and, in particular, opening up shirts or the like Garments in which a plurality of folding devices are arranged cyclically circumferentially and the folding means these folding devices can be operated progressively station by station.

In the known devices of the aforementioned type, for example those described in DT-OS 1 760 '429 and DT-GM 7 105 284 Embodiments of such, are those for folding and in particular opening a Shirt or a similar item of clothing required folding and presentation procedures with the additionally required manual handouts carried out in several folding stations, including an operator in each folding station is required. The table tops of the folding devices of these devices therefore also have those for single folding devices, d. H. for folding devices that are not normally arranged in a clockwise fashion Shape, so the tabletops of these folding devices are essential

loaned wider than the shirt folded in its longitudinal direction should be, and usually wider than the body part of the shirt in the unfolded state is what also applies analogously to the cross-fold direction.

There are also known individual folding devices that work more or less automatically. The tabletops of this The majority of the guiding devices are also wider and / or longer than the body part of the shirt is in the disassembled state, but mostly a part of the table tops can be operated like a flap is, namely for longitudinal and / or transverse folding of the shirt.

There are also single folding devices that work more or less automatically, known in which the table tops in the transverse folding direction of the shirt approximately correspond to the dimension to which the shirt is folded shall be. These single folding devices mostly work with folding means in the form of so-called folding bars and the same.

Furthermore, individual folding devices that work more or less automatically are known that do not have a table top and in which the shirt to be folded is placed by the operator on the folding means folding plate, i.e. the plate, which is almost as long and as wide as the shirt is to be folded, put on and then around the same is folded up by means of folding means in the form of so-called folding bars or the like.

A particular disadvantage of these known devices described is that the design of the table tops the folding devices and / or the arrangement of the folding means is such that, if several such folding devices are arranged cyclically in one of the devices mentioned above, a fully mechanical Folding up and in particular opening up shirts or similar items of clothing with long arm parts if not impossible, then only unfavorably possible.

It is also disadvantageous in these known devices that each of the cyclically arranged folding devices all necessary for folding shirts or similar items of clothing with long arm sections Has folding means. Disadvantageous in particular because these devices only have high Manufacturing costs are producible and prone to failure.

The object of the invention is to propose a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, which has the disadvantages of the described, known devices does not have, so in particular due to the design of the table top of their folding devices as well as the arrangement of their folding means an advantageous fully mechanical folding and in particular Making shirts or similar items of clothing with long arm parts possible and with relatively can be produced at low cost.

The features of the invention of the device to be proposed should also be combined with the main features of the invention the DT-OS 2 306 815, namely the arrangement of the FaIt-

Devices on an odor but two can see at a distance multi-arbor turnstiles arranged next to one another particularly advantageous device for fully mechanical folding that can be operated by only one operator and in particular opening up shirts or similar items of clothing with long arm parts.

The device according to the invention is characterized in that

that the table top of the folding devices is approximately as wide as the shirts in their longitudinal direction should be folded,

that the table top of the folding devices is at least as long as the largest shirt to be folded, measured from the collar strap and holding device,

that the folding means, which are used to fold the shirts to an end fold corresponding to the same Folding means, e.g. B. a folding plate are required, do not rotate with the folding devices, but stationary are arranged in the folding stations,

that only the center of the fold is fixed in each folding station]. are arranged for the in the relevant folding station required folding section to be carried out.

By combining the aforementioned features, some of which are known per se, the device according to the invention has the following

Advantages:

Due to the design of the tabletops of their folding devices, the device enables an advantageous, fully mechanical one Folding up and in particular opening up shirts or similar items of clothing, in particular because, firstly, the side and arm parts of the KU folding shirt or garment after the manual one Place the same on the table top of one of the cyclic circumferential cnidon guide devices, hang down freely can, whereby it is particularly possible to use the side and Arin parts in an advantageous manner, namely in a space-saving manner to fold bar-shaped folding means and / or compressed air; second, the middle part of the shirt or garment rests in its entire length on the table top, which makes it possible in particular to remove the longitudinally folded shirt or shirt. Fold the garment perfectly transversely, namely not jumping open, by means of rod-shaped folding means and compressed air.

The device also allows due to the stationary arrangement the one for folding the shirts or similar items of clothing by the amount corresponding to the final folded size Folding means, e.g. folding plates, better guidance and control of these folding means, with the result that the quality of the Folding is always equally good.

Due to the fact that in each folding station of the device only those folding means which are required for the folding sections to be carried out in this are arranged in a stationary manner

in particular, the manufacturing costs of the device and its susceptibility to failure are relatively low.

The inventive design of the table top and the inventive arrangement of the folding means enable the further to keep the cyclically arranged folding devices and the folding stations small, in particular in width, which also has a favorable effect on the dimensions of the device.

The aforementioned features of the invention also result in combination with the main inventive features of DT-OS 2 306 815 already mentioned, a particularly advantageous one for the first time Device for fully mechanical folding and in particular opening of shirts or similar items of clothing with long arm parts, in particular in that this device requires little floor space and thus is not space-consuming, the manufacturing costs and the susceptibility of the device to failure are relatively low, the device requires only one operator and the quality and appearance achieved with the device is always consistently good.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the width of the table top of the folding devices to different Folding dimensions is adjustable, which is an advantage because it allows the width of the table top to be any desired folding width Shirts can be customized.

It is also an advantage, and this has already been said, if rods and compressed air are used as the folding means.

The following are further advantageous features of the invention Device explained on the basis of a training example shown schematically in the drawing.
