Abstract

PCT No. PCT/DE91/00118 Sec. 371 Date May 12, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date May 12, 1992 PCT Filed Feb. 14, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/13198 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 5, 1991.A device for applying fabric webs includes upper and lower runners each formed with a respective edge facing a pile edge of the web and provided with respective first, second and third segments which are differently shaped and provide aligning of the edge and a seam during hemming and sewing operations.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anlegen von Stoffbahnen oder Stoffbahnabschnitten, insbesondere von Stoffen, die beidseitig mit Flor beschichtet sind und anschließend an die Florzone eine florlose Zone (Glattgewebe) aufweisen, um diese Stoffbahnen oder Stoffbahnabschnitte insbesondere einer Säum- und Nähstation zuzuführen, die mit einer aus einem Riemenpaar bestehenden Fördereinrichtung ausgestattet ist (siehe US-A-3 457 885).The invention relates to a device for applying fabric or fabric sections, in particular fabrics that are coated on both sides with pile and then have a floreless zone (smooth fabric) to the pile zone to feed these fabric or fabric sections in particular to a seaming and sewing station that with a conveyor consisting of a pair of belts is equipped (see US-A-3 457 885).

Unter den Begriff "mit Flor beschichtet" sollen alle beliebigen Verdickungen eines Gewebes, wie Frotteeware, Schlingen- oder Büschelware oder dergleichen verstanden werden.
Bei der Verarbeitung von solchen Waren haben sich insofern Schwierigkeiten ergeben, als insbesondere beim Säumen und Nähen kein exaktes Anliegen des Saumes bzw. der Naht an der Florkante zu erreichen war, ohne besondere Sorgfalt seitens der Bedienungsperson aufzuwenden. Letzteres kostet aber Zeit und Geld.The term "coated with pile" should be understood to mean any desired thickening of a fabric, such as terry cloth, loop or tufted goods or the like.
Difficulties have arisen in the processing of such goods insofar as, in particular when hemming and sewing, no exact fit of the hem or the seam on the pile edge could be achieved without special care on the part of the operator. The latter costs time and money.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Anlegen derartiger Stoffbahnen beim Säumen und Nähen zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, daß der zu bildende Saum exakt am Flor anliegt und keine Florschlaufen in den Saum vernäht werden.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for applying such webs of material during seaming and sewing, which makes it possible that the hem to be formed lies exactly against the pile and no pile loops are sewn into the hem.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die im Hauptanspruch gekennzeichneten Merkmale. Die Unteransprüche enthalten zweckmäßige weitere Ausbildungen.The features characterized in the main claim serve to solve this problem. The sub-claims contain useful further training.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zeigt einen einfachen und kostengünstigen Weg, zu säumende Frotteeware so zu verarbeiten, daß Saum und Naht genau an der Florkante anliegen. Das Einnähen von Florschleifen wird sicher vermieden. Die Vorrichtung läßt hohe Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten bei geringen Anforderungen an die Geschicklichkeit der Bedienungsperson zu, die beim Einlegen der Stoffbahn mit einer Toleranz bis zu ca. 4 mm hinsichtlich der Bezugslinie arbeiten kann, weil die Kanten der Kufen so ausgebildet sind, daß der Flor immer von der florlosen Zone abgedrängt wird.The device according to the invention shows a simple and inexpensive way to process terry toweling to be hemmed so that the seam and seam lie exactly against the pile edge. Sewing in pile loops is safely avoided. The device allows high processing speeds with low demands on the skill of the operator, who can work with a tolerance of up to about 4 mm with respect to the reference line when inserting the fabric web, because the edges of the runners are designed so that the pile is always from the florid zone is pushed away.

In den Zeichnungen ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dargestellt.In the drawings, an embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown.

Figur 1 zeigt die Vorrichtung in Seitenansicht. Sie ist als Vorschaltgerät 8 ausgeführt, das einer Fördereinrichtung 9 vorgeschaltet ist und über eine Befestigung 5 am Maschinenrahmen angebracht ist. Wesentlicher Bestandteil der Vorrichtung sind zwei Kufen 1, 2, von denen die Kufe 1 als starre Auflage unterhalb der Warenbahn 10 und die Kufe 2 federnd am Vorschaltgerät 8 aufgehängt ist. Der Anpreßdruck der Kufe 2 kann mit Schraubbolzen 4, die auf Federn 3 einwirken, verändert werden. Die Fördereinrichtung 9 besteht in an sich bekannter Weise aus zwei endlosen Riemen 6, 7, die an ihrer Berührungsfläche die Stoffbahn 10 aufnehmen und in Richtung des Pfeiles 13 zu einer (nicht gezeigten) Säum- und Nähstation befördern. Die einzulegende Stoffbahn 10 wird manuell zwischen die beiden Kufen 1,2 gezogen. Hinter den Kufen 1,2 wird die Stoffbahn 10 von den Riemen 6,7 der Fördereinrichtung 9 übernommen, wobei die Ebene zwischen den beiden Kufen 1,2 und den beiden sich berührenden Riementeilen 6,7 auf gleicher Höhe liegt.Figure 1 shows the device in side view. It is designed as a ballast 8, which is connected upstream of a conveyor 9 and is attached to the machine frame via a fastening 5. An essential part of the device are two runners 1, 2, of which the runners 1 are suspended on the ballast 8 as a rigid support underneath the web 10 and the runners 2. The contact pressure of the runner 2 can be changed with bolts 4, which act on springs 3. The conveyor 9 consists, in a manner known per se, of two endless belts 6, 7, which take up the fabric web 10 on their contact surface and convey it in the direction of the arrow 13 to a hemming and sewing station (not shown). The fabric web 10 to be inserted is manually drawn between the two runners 1, 2. Behind the runners 1, 2, the fabric web 10 is taken over by the belts 6, 7 of the conveying device 9, the plane between the two runners 1, 2 and the two belt parts 6, 7 touching each other being at the same height.

Figur 2 zeigt die Vorrichtung in Draufsicht. Die Stoffbahn 10, die aus einer Florzone 11 und einer florlosen Zone 12 (Glattgewebe) besteht, weist eine Florkante 14 auf, längs der die Ware gesäumt und genäht werden soll. In der Draufsicht ist auch die Kufe 2 zu sehen, während die darunterliegende Kufe 1 von der Stoffbahn 10 verdeckt ist. Die Kufen 1 und 2 sind im wesentlichen gleich ausgestaltet, wobei die untere Kufe 1 kürzer sein kann. Ihre, der Florkante 14 zugewandte Kante ist stufenförmig derart abgesetzt, daß auf einen schmalen Anfangsabschnitt 2' über eine Schräge 2'' ein kurvenförmiger Abschnitt 2''' anschließt, der an seinem Ende über die Florkante 14 hinüber- greift. Dadurch wird es ermöglicht, daß die Bedienungsperson beim Einlegen der Ware keine besondere Sorgfalt beachten muß, sie kann die Ware auch so einlegen, daß die Florkante 14 in Richtung zur Kufe 2 verschoben ist; durch die stufenförmige Ausgestaltung der Kufenkante erfolgt immer ein genaues Ausrichten bis zum Einlauf der Ware in die Fördereinrichtung 9.Figure 2 shows the device in plan view. The fabric web 10, which consists of a pile zone 11 and a pile zone 12 (smooth fabric), has a pile edge 14, along which the goods are to be hemmed and sewn. The top view is the runner 2 can also be seen, while the runner 1 underneath is covered by the fabric web 10. The runners 1 and 2 are essentially of the same design, and the lower runners 1 can be shorter. Its edge facing the pile edge 14 is stepped in such a way that a narrow beginning section 2 'adjoins a slope 2''and is followed by a curved section 2''' which reaches over the pile edge 14 at its end. This makes it possible that the operator does not have to take any special care when inserting the goods, they can also insert the goods so that the pile edge 14 is displaced in the direction of the runner 2; Due to the step-like configuration of the skid edge, there is always an exact alignment until the goods enter the conveyor device 9.

Figur 3 zeigt drei Schnitte A-B, C-D, E-F von Figur 2. Der Schnitt A-B ist in der zweiten Stufe geführt, er zeigt die beiden Kufen 1,2, wie sie die Florkante 14 der Florzone 11 mit ihrer spitzen Abschrägung zurückdrängen. Im nächsten Schnitt C-D hat die stumpfe Kufenkante die Florkante 14 erreicht und im Schnitt E-F ist die Kufenkante, von der Florzone 11 gesehen, pfeilförmig ausgebildet, wobei ihre Außenkanten über die Florkante 14 überstehen.Figure 3 shows three sections A-B, C-D, E-F of Figure 2. The section A-B is performed in the second stage, it shows the two runners 1, 2 as they push back the pile edge 14 of the pile zone 11 with its pointed bevel. In the next section C-D, the blunt runner edge has reached the pile edge 14 and in section E-F the runner edge is arrow-shaped, as seen from the pile zone 11, its outer edges projecting beyond the pile edge 14.
