  • the invention relates to a device for producing a fabric-covered buckle, consisting of a first lower tool and an upper tool for receiving the fabric-covered upper part of the buckle, the first lower tool interacting with the upper tool in a pressing device for covering the upper part of the buckle with a fabric blank, and from a second lower tool for receiving the lower buckle part, which has a lower part in which an inner core piece is mounted and an outer core piece made of a base plate and a circumferential collar which engages in a gap formed between the lower part and the inner core piece, in which the Buckle lower part can be used, and at least the lower part is resiliently supported against the base plate, and the upper tool consists of an inner core piece and an upper part enclosing this, which forms a circumferential gap between the upper part for receiving the buckle upper part with the fabric blank, in which an outer core piece can be moved is led.
  • This device known from DE-A-35 19 147 is used to produce buckles covered with fabric, the upper and lower surfaces of which run parallel to one another. Buckles, in which the upper and lower surfaces do not run parallel to one another, are currently solid and have to be covered by hand, but this is time-consuming and expensive in terms of production technology.
  • a corresponding device is also known from DE-C-977 665.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide pull-on buckles with non-parallel top and bottom surfaces that can be produced by machine and a device therefor.
  • this is achieved for a buckle of the type described in the introduction in that its lower surface and its surface do not run parallel to one another, the lower surface of the lower part of the buckle forming the lower surface parallel to the opening plane of the lower side of the upper buckle part and the opening plane of the upper side of the lower buckle part parallel to the surface forming top of the buckle top.
  • a device of the type described in the introduction can be used according to the invention, in which a reference plane perpendicular to the tool closing and separating movement axis is formed in the lower tool for receiving the buckle lower part and in the upper tool for the buckle upper part a receptacle with an inclined axis Support surface, as well as parting and shaping surfaces are formed in the tools, which run with the same inclination to the reference plane as the surface of the buckle upper part to its underside.
  • a reference plane with the same inclination as the surface of the upper part of the buckle to the underside of the upper part of the buckle can be formed in the lower tool for receiving the lower part of the buckle, and in the upper tool for the upper part of the buckle a receptacle with a support surface running perpendicularly or at an angle to the axis, as well as in the Tools parting and forming surfaces that run perpendicular to the axis.
  • a device according to the invention consists of an upper tool 11 and a first lower tool 12 and a pressing device, not shown, in which the two tools are used, specifically in the assignment shown in FIG. 3.
  • the upper tool 11 consists of an upper part 13, which has a central through opening 14.
  • the shape of the through opening is adapted to the circumferential contour of a buckle to be covered with fabric, see FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • This buckle is formed from an upper buckle part 1, a lower buckle part 2 and a fabric blank 3.
  • the two buckle parts 1, 2 consist in a known manner of web-shaped sheet metal parts forming a frame, the circumferential edges of which result in a trough-shaped profile, for example a U-profile.
  • the cloth flap or fabric blank 3 required for covering the upper part 1 of the buckle is cut so that both sides of the frame edges both after an envelope of approximately the same width remains outside as well as after the inside opening.
  • the fabric blank 3 is provided in a known manner in the middle with a longitudinal slot, at the ends of which are arranged symmetrically to each other by 90 ° incisions.
  • the upper tool 11 On its underside facing the lower tool 12, the upper tool 11 has on its upper part 13 a circumferential extension 20 with an end parting surface 21.
  • a core piece 23 is mounted within the through opening 14 of the upper part 13 and is movably connected to the upper part 13.
  • the separating surface 25 of the core piece 23 facing the lower tool 12 extends obliquely to the tool separating and firing axis X-X.
  • the separating surfaces 21 of the extensions 20 are designed accordingly, so that the separating surfaces 21 form a continuation of the surface 25.
  • the core piece 23 is fastened in the upper part 13 such that a circumferential gap 26 is formed between the core piece 23 and the upper part 13.
  • the upper tool 11 also has an outer core piece, which consists of a head plate, not shown, and a circumferential wall 29, which comprises a cavity.
  • the wall 29 is adapted with regard to the thickness and course of the width and the contour of the gap 26, so that the gap 26 is closed at the top by the wall 29 and forms a circumferential receptacle 30.
  • the receiving contour is profiled in a concave manner so that there is a receptacle for the fabric-covered upper part 1.
  • the shaped surface 31 of the receptacle 30 runs obliquely to the axis X-X and parallel or obliquely to the separating surfaces 21, 25.
  • the individual parts of the upper tool 11 are arranged such that on the one hand the upper part 13, the core piece 23 and the outer core piece can be moved together in the direction of the lower tool 12, and on the other hand such that the outer core piece is connected to the connected upper part and core can be moved relatively.
  • the lower tool 12 consists of a lower part 35 with a central through opening 36, the shape of which is adapted to the outer contour of the buckle upper part 1 and thus corresponds in shape to the through opening 14 in the upper tool 11.
  • a receptacle is formed from a circumferential shoulder 37, the contour of which corresponds to the negative profile of the extension 20 and has a separating surface 38.
  • the space formed by paragraph 37 is used to hold the fabric blank 3 and is therefore adapted to the shape of this blank.
  • a fold holder (not shown) can be mounted within the through opening 36.
  • a material presser is guided within the passage opening 36 and consists of a base plate 43 with a collar 44 which is offset inwards, the collar wall having a course which corresponds to the shape of the passage opening 36.
  • the end face surfaces 45 of the collar run with the same inclination to the axis XX as the surfaces 38 of the shoulders 37.
  • a circumferential shoulder 46 is formed on the outside of the collar 44 in the sense of a reduction in diameter.
  • the width of the heel is adapted to the thickness of the edge of the buckle upper part.
  • the width of the shaped surfaces 45 corresponds approximately to the width of the buckle upper part between the two edges of the upper part, ie between the outer and the inner edge of the buckle upper part.
  • the lower part 35 is resiliently mounted with respect to the fabric pusher 41, the resilient mounting being carried out by means of helical springs 47 which are supported on the base plate 43.
  • a pin 48 is arranged, which is used to fasten the lower tool 12 in the press for receiving the upper tool 11.
  • the buckle upper part 1 is placed with the fabric blank 3 placed over it in the lower part 35 in the area of the shoulder 37 on the separating surface 38.
  • the entire upper tool 11 is moved down to the lower tool 12.
  • the upper part 13 presses the lower part 35 with the core piece 23 down, as a result of which the buckle upper part 1 placed on the surfaces 45 with the fabric blank 3 is pressed up against the surfaces in the receptacle 30, where it is is positioned so that its bottom 7 is perpendicular to the axis XX. It is important that in the arrangement of the surfaces 21, 25, 31 of the upper tool 11 and the surfaces 38, 45 of the lower tool shown in Fig.
  • FIG. 4 shows the end position of the upper tool 11 on the lower tool 12 after the upper tool has been pressed down.
  • the collar 44 protrudes into the receiving space 30 and has pressed the upper buckle part 1 with the fabric cut 3 above it into the receptacle 30.
  • 4 shows the position of the fabric blank 3 within the receiving space 30.
  • the buckle upper part 1 together with the fabric blank 3 is held within the upper tool 11 in such a way that there is a slight clamping fit so that the upper part cannot fall out.
  • the lower tool 12 can be disengaged by pulling up the upper tool.
  • the connection of the buckle upper part to the lower part is now carried out in a known manner, as z. B. is known from DE-PS 977 665.
  • the first lower tool 12 described above is exchanged for a second lower tool 52, see FIG. 5.
  • This second lower tool 52 consists of a lower part 53 which is designed as a frame. This lower part is supported against a base plate 54 of an outer core piece by means of springs 55.
  • an inner core 56 acting as a counter-holder is resiliently mounted, namely by means of helical springs 57 which are supported on the base plate 54.
  • the inner core piece 56 has an end-side separating surface 60.
  • a gap 58 projects into the base plate 54 attached collar 59 and closes it down.
  • the lower part 2 of the buckle is placed on the end face surface 62 of the collar 59 within the gap 58.
  • the lower part 53 has a recess 66 which is enlarged radially relative to the recess 45 and which serves to receive the peripheral extension 20 of the upper tool 1 and has its negative profile.
  • the separating surface 60 has a course which is adapted to the course of the other separating surfaces 38, 45.
  • the shaped surface 62 forms the reference plane (7-7) of the tool and it runs at right angles to the axis XX. As a further reference plane (7 ⁇ -7 ') can serve by the lower edge of the fold formed by the bevels 64, which also extends perpendicular to the axis XX.
  • the closing bevels 64 form an outer fold, the fold base lying in each case in a plane perpendicular to the axis X-X, as a result of which the reference plane of the tool is formed.
  • the lower part 53 With further pressure on the upper tool, the lower part 53 now withdraws and the buckle lower part 2 is brought into the closed position, see FIG. 6. Now the upper and lower parts of the buckle are immersed by completely pressing the upper and lower tools together and thus fixing the fabric blank.
  • the course of the fold of the closing bevels 64 ensures that the bottom 7 of the underside 7 extends perpendicular to the axis X-X in the unpressed state.
  • the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown, but includes all means having the same effect in the sense of the invention.
  • the end faces 62 and the plane running through the rebate base of the locking bevels 64 are inclined to the axis XX in accordance with the inclination of the non-parallel top and bottom surfaces (4, 5) of the buckle and the surfaces 21, 25, 31 in the upper tool 11 and the corresponding surfaces 38, 45, 60 in the lower tools perpendicular to the axis XX.
