Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the machine sewing of a pair of tights or pantihose with a comfort gusset reaching at least from the crotch across the seat portion to the waistband.
  • the apparatus for carrying out the method comprises forms to hold two prefabricated tubular stocking portions of the tights and a plurality of processing stations past which the forms can be moved and of which at least one station comprises a cutting device and at least one a sewing device.
  • the problem posed is solved by the method according to the present invention.
  • the invention provides a method for the machine sewing of a pair of tights or pantihose having a comfort gusset extending at least from the crotch of the garment, over the seat portion and to the waistband, characterised by the following successive steps:
  • Apparatus for carrying out such a method has forms to hold two prefabricated tubular stocking portions and has a plurality of processing stations past which the forms can be moved, of which at least one station comprises a cutting device and at least one station a seaming device, and the apparatus is characterised in that disposed between the forms is a third form to mount the tubular prefabricated gusset element, the third form being arranged for joint movement with the other two forms.
  • the comfort gusset like the two stocking portions of the tights, is prefabricated in the form of a tubular structure, preferably on a circular knitting machine.
  • the gusset has a waistband portion, like the stocking portions.
  • After making an open-ended tubular comfort gusset element, its end remote from the waistband is closed by means of a seam, for instance a convexly-curved seam.
  • This prefabricated, bag-like, structure is then pulled onto the third form situated between the other two forms so that the closing seam of the comfort gusset extends in a plane which is perpendicular to the form plane.
  • the inter-posed comfort gusset is also cut open, according to this invention, up to a point short of its closing seam.
  • cut edges of the comfort gusset are then sewn to cut edges of the two stocking portions. For example, at a first sewing station, a seam is formed between one cut edge of the comfort gusset and at least one cut edge of one stocking portion and at a second sewing station, a seam is formed between the other cut edge of the comfort gusset and at least one cut edge of the other stocking portion.
  • the apparatus according to the invention may be differently embodied depending on whether a continuous or "whole" comfort gusset extending from the front waistband to the back waistband is to be fitted, or a half comfort gusset which is continuous only from the crotch area to the back waistband region.
  • the third form may be composed of two like and symmetrically arranged supporting arms, similar in many respects to the pair of forms provided for the two stocking portions.
  • the third form may be made asymmetrical and have a co-pivotable supporting arm only at one side between supporting arms of the other two forms, while the other boundary portion of the form may consist of a stretching arm which is movable in the plane of the third form and which can be introduced into the tubular prefabricated comfort gusset.
  • the stretching arm serves only to expand the tubular comfort gusset which has been pulled onto the other supporting arm, and, in a stretching position the stretching arm projects at least partially between two of the pairs of supporting arms of the other two forms in order to stretch the comfort gusset there with one part.
  • This stretching arm may advantageously be "J" shaped, i.e. curved like a hockey stick or in a sickle-like manner. Beneficially, it will have a rounded free end.
  • Figure 1 shows the body portion of a pair of tights 10 which is formed from two like, tubular, prefabricated stocking portions 11 and 12 and a continuous comfort gusset 13.
  • the comfort gusset 13 forms, with its elastic band beginning at 15 as seen in Figure 3, both the front portion and the back portion of the waistband 14 of the pair of tights 10 and is connected along cut edges thereof by two continuous seams 16, 17 from the front waistband region to the back waistband region, to cut edges of the two stocking portions 11 and 12.
  • Figure 2 shows the body portion of a pair of tights 20 which consists of two like, tubular pre­fabricated stocking portions 21, 22 and a half comfort gusset 23.
  • the half comfort gusset 23 extends only over the crotch and the seat portion of the pair of tights and forms with its elastic band 15, part of the waistband 24 of the pair of tights 20. This gusset occupies only the seat region.
  • the two connecting seams 26 and 27 converge and, at a point 28, merge into one seam 29 whereby cut edges of the two stocking portions 21 and 22 are connected to one another.
  • the comfort gussets 13, 23 are first pre­fabricated in an open-ended tubular form which can be seen from Figures 3 and 4, starting from an end band 15 which is kept elastic by incorporating rubber threads.
  • the prefabricated tubular comfort gusset 13, 23 is closed at its terminal end by a seam 18 which, in this instance, extends in a convex curve.
  • FIG. 5 In the diagrammatic plan view according to Figure 5 of an apparatus 30 for the production of the tights 10 or 20 provided with the comfort gussets 13 or 23, six processing stations, A, B, C, D, E, F are indicated at which the prefabricated parts are processed successively to form the tights.
  • the apparatus 30 is provided with sets of forms 31 which are movable from processing station to processing station and the construction of which will be explained in more detail below in connection with Figures 6 to 10.
  • the processing station A the pulling of the prefabricated tubular stocking portions 11, 12 or 21, 22 and of the tubular prefabricated comfort gusset 13 or 23 onto the sets of forms 31 is effected.
  • a cutting open of the stretched parts is effected in the body region of the tights in each case.
  • the sets of forms are swung open in order to expose the cut edges of the portions of the tights suitably for the formation of connecting seams at the following two processing stations D and E.
  • the sets of forms 31 are closed again and the fully sewn tights are withdrawn from the sets of forms and from the apparatus.
  • a cutting device 32 and two sewing devices 33 and 34 are indicated in Figure 5 for simplicity.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show a set of forms 31 which is adapted to form a pair of tights 10, that is to say for processing a continuous comfort gusset 13.
  • the set of forms consists of an upper form 35, a lower form 36 and a third form 37 which is arranged between the upper and lower forms.
  • all three forms 35-37 are of bracket-like construction and each consist of two supporting arms 38 and 39 which are mounted for pivoting movement about a pin 40.
  • the precise construction of these supporting arms, which simultaneously serve as clamping arms and can be coupled to spreading brackets, is of no interest here and is previously known, for example through relevant apparatuses from the Japanese firm Takatori Machinery Works.
  • Such apparatuses include Takatori line closers Models LC-­240, LC-280 and LC-320; one such line closer is described in GB-A-1,339,365.
  • Upper forms 35 and lower forms 36 are used to support, by pulling thereon the two tubular prefabricated stocking portions 11, 12 or 21, 22.
  • Figures 6 and 7 only the two supporting arms 38 and 39 of the third form 37, not previously known, are designated, on which a tubular prefabricated comfort gusset 13 or 23 according to Figure 3 is to be stretched so that its closing seam 18 extends in a plane which, as indicated by a chain line 19, is directed perpendicular to the plane formed by the two supporting arms 38 and 39 of the middle form 37.
  • a separating cut 40 designated in Figure 10 is taken through both stocking portions 11, 21 and 12, 22 and through the interposed comfort gusset 13, 23. Cut 40 ends shortly before the closing seam 18 of the comfort gusset 13, 23. The cut is made by means of the cutting device 32.
  • the two supporting arms 38, 39 of all three forms 35-37 are swung apart so that the cut edges formed are suitably exposed for seaming. The cut edges extend generally parallel to inner longitudinal edges of the arms which, when spread apart include a shallow obtuse angle as will appear from Figure 5.
  • the connecting seam 16 visible from Figure 1 is then formed between a cut edge of the comfort gusset 13 and a cut edge of the one stocking portion 11, by means of the sewing device 33, while at the following processing station E, the connecting seam 17 between a cut edge of the comfort gusset 13 and a cut edge of the other stocking portion 12 is formed by means of the sewing device 34.
  • Figures 8 to 10 show a set of forms 31′ which is adapted for the machine sewing of a pair of tights 20 according to Figure 2.
  • the upper form 35 and the lower form 36 of the set of forms 31′ have the same construction as the set of forms 31 and again serve to stretch the two stocking portions 21 and 22 ( Figure 2).
  • the interposed third form 37′ is for pulling on the comfort gusset 23, and has a supporting arm 38′ at one side only. A similar supporting arm is lacking at the other side. Instead, a stretching arm 41 with a cranked end portion 42, e.g.
  • a front end region 23.1 of the tubular prefabricated comfort gusset 23 can be pushed in between the supporting arms of the upper and lower forms 35, 36 to be gripped thereby as can be seen from Figure 9. Then the stretching arm 41 is withdrawn from the set of forms and the set of forms 31′ is moved onwards to the processing station B where the separating cut 40 seen in Figure 10 is made.
  • one of the connecting seams 26, 27 is drawn which are subsequently formed, after the supporting arms of the set of forms 31′ have been swung apart, at the processing stations D and E while simultaneously with the formation of this seam the regions 44, which are cross-hatched in Figure 10, of the tubular prefabricated comfort gusset 23 are cut off as waste.
  • This waste can be removed for example by conventional cutters associated with cutting and sewing machines provided at stations D and E and numbered 33 and 34 in Figure 5.
  • regions 44 can be removed by means of a separate cutting device forming an additional processing station introduced upstream of station D.
