Definitions

  • the present patent application aims at a method for handling and perimetric sewing of wallpapered assemblies, this invention having remarkable advantages and innovations over the currently existing systems used for the same or similar purpose.
  • patent EP-A-0 520 061 is the same applicant for one "System for sewing wallpapered assemblies" already known, which consists of a geared motor with a control gear, which is connected via a drive system with axes and works together with a conveyor belt on which the mattress or the like is located, the latter part with a Sewing machine is processed that is suitable for the unit in which it is included; for this, three sewing speeds are provided, which according to the area of the mattress to be sewn by means of the registration of sensors, such as. B. photoelectric cells, function in that the greatest speed is intended for sewing straight sections and a slower speed occurs at the end of the same when one approaches the curves and the third speed then serves for sewing said curves. There is also an arm which is operated electrically by the same single motor and which is used to turn the mattress during the sewing process of the curves.
  • the method for handling and perimetric sewing of wallpapered assemblies which is the object of the present invention, was devised to achieve an automatic sewing system for the periphery of wallpapered pieces, which is equally better technical performance and greater design and functional simplicity than that currently existing sewing systems, which also has a better sewing quality.
  • the papered piece is fed into the sewing machine, which is fastened on a table with a sliding surface, in order to enable the element to move, on which the sewing machine is firmly attached to one of its sides.
  • the sliding surface can be replaced in whole or in part by a set of rollers, the rollers of which are attached perpendicular to the side of the table in which the sewing machine is located.
  • the papered piece is moved by the action of normally two or more thrust elements which protrude from the table surface via longitudinal slots. These rams are driven from the lower side of the table and extend until the corner of the papered piece has reached the height of the sewing machine, after which they return to their initial position.
  • a hold-down device In order to ensure a perfect rotation of the wallpapered piece, a hold-down device can be installed, which is driven by a pneumatic piston near the angle of rotation.
  • the longitudinal plungers are actuated with the aid of an element which is attached under the table surface and which is moved by guide rails, belts or the like, which takes place parallel to the said table side in which the sewing machine is located.
  • the actuation of the element which carries the rotary plungers can alternatively be carried out by means of traction which acts on the end which covers the longest distance.
  • the actuation of the element which carries the rotary plunger can alternatively be carried out by means of a guide rail in a shape very similar to a segment of a circle and in a combination of rack and pinion.
  • the sliding surface can be replaced in whole or in part by a set of rollers, the rollers of which are attached perpendicular to the side of the table in which the sewing machine 6 is located.
  • the system consists in that the papered piece 1 moves through the action of thrust elements 3, which emerge from the table surface via longitudinal slots 4. These plungers 3 are driven from the lower side of the table and extend until the corner of the papered piece 1 has reached the height of the sewing machine 6, after which they return to their initial position.
  • a hold-down 5 can be installed, which is driven by a pneumatic piston in the vicinity of the angle of rotation.
  • the longitudinal plungers 3 are actuated with the aid of an element 11 which is attached under the table surface and which is moved by guide rails, belts or the like, which is parallel to the said table side takes place in which the sewing machine 6 is located.
  • the rotary plungers 7 are actuated by an element 12, which in turn is also attached under the table surface and which moves with respect to a pivot point, the arrangement of which is different and adaptable so that the movement corresponds to the radius of the corner of the papered piece 1.
  • the actuation of the element which carries the rotary plungers 7 can alternatively be carried out by traction which acts on the end which covers the longest distance.
  • the actuation of said element, which carries the rotary plunger 7, can alternatively be carried out by means of a guide rail in a shape very similar to a segment of a circle and in combination with a rack 10 and a pinion 9.

Claims (9)

  1. Procédé pour manipuler et coudre le bord périphérique d'ensembles rembourrés, dans lequel la pièce rembourrée (1) est passée par la machine à coudre (6) en étant posée sur une table munie d'une surface de glissement, ladite machine à coudre étant fixée sur un côté de la table, caractérisé en ce qu'on a prévu des éléments de poussée (3) qui font saillie de la surface de la table (2) à travers des fentes longitudinales (4) et qui permettent l'avancement de la pièce rembourrée, les poussoirs (3) étant actionnés depuis la partie inférieure de la table et avancés jusqu'à ce que le coin de la pièce rembourrée (1) arrive à hauteur de la machine à coudre (6), les poussoirs étant alors rétractés dans leur position initiale.
  2. Procédé pour manipuler et coudre le bord périphérique d'ensembles rembourrés selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait qu'il existe d'autres poussoirs (7) disposés d'un côté de la table (2) et qui font saillie de la surface de celle-ci à travers des fentes (8) sensiblement en forme d'arcs de cercle, ces poussoirs aussi étant actionnés dépuis la partie inférieure de la table et recevant la pièce rembourrée (1) dans la position où son coin se trouve en face de la machine à coudre (6), cette pièce pivotant suivant un arc de cercle de 90° environ, et la tête de la machine à coudre cousant simultanément et en synchronisme le coin de ladite pièce rembourrée, les poussoirs (7) étant rétractés dans leur position initiale dès la fin du pivotement, et les poussoirs précédents à effet longitudinal, se mettant en marche.
