Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour le positionnement de la portion du pied de produits manufacturés tubulaires en tricot, spécialement des articles de bonneterie, comme les bas tubulaires et les collants.The subject of the present invention is a device for positioning the portion of the foot of tubular knitted manufactured products, especially knitted articles, such as tubular stockings and tights.

Il est connu que les bas sont fabriqués à partir d'un élément tubulaire en tricot avec les deux extrémités ouvertes et que, successivement, une des extrémités de l'élément, c'est-à-dire la pointe du pied, est cousue.It is known that the stockings are made from a tubular knitted element with the two open ends and that, successively, one of the ends of the element, that is toe, is sewn.

Il est également connu que, dans le cas des bas avec talon profilé ou renforcé, la ligne de couture de la pointe du pied doit assumer une position bien précise par rapport au talon, de manière que le bas puisse être correctement porté: le même type de problème pouvant se produire, de toute façon, chaque fois qu'il s'avère nécessaire d'orienter la pointe du vêtement par rapport à une référence fixe de celui-ci, comme par exemple le corps dans le cas des collants.It is also known that, in the case of stockings with a profiled or reinforced heel, the seam line of the toes must assume a very precise position relative to the heel, so that the stockings can be properly worn: the same type problem that can occur, anyway, whenever it is necessary to orient the tip of the garment relative to a fixed reference thereof, such as the body in the case of tights.

Pour obtenir l'orientation désirée de la pointe du produit manufacturé, il est possible de procéder aussi bien manuellement que de manière automatique. Pour ce qui concerne la procédure manuelle, bien que sa mise en oeuvre soit possible, elle ne s'avère pas compatible avec les exigences de production actuelles, en raison du temps nécessaire pour le positionnement de chaque produit manufacturé, lequel est excessif par rapport au temps normalement disponible pour l'exécution de chaque couture.To obtain the desired orientation of the tip of the manufactured product, it is possible to proceed both manually and automatically. As for the manual procedure, although its implementation is possible, it does not prove compatible with current production requirements, due to the time required for the positioning of each manufactured product, which is excessive compared to the time normally available for the execution of each seam.

On connaît également, d'après le brevet européen n° 33039, un dispositif pour la couture automatique de la pointe d'articles de bonneterie avec talon, lequel comprend des moyens pour disposer la portion de pointe du pied de chaque bas dans une position prédéterminée par rapport au talon correspondant. Ceci est obtenu en faisant tourner la portion du pied du bas, qui a été précédemment enfilé sur un tube de support fixe correspondant, au moyen d'un rouleau caoutchouté avec axe parallèle à celui du tube et lequel est disposé latéralement et adhérent au tube pour coopérer avec le bas et permettre sa rotation par glissement autour de l'axe longitudinal du support jusqu'à ce qu'une cellule photo-électrique détecte un repère approprié inséré dans le tissu du bas, de manière à se trouver dans une position prédéterminée par rapport au talon. Mais ce dispositif connu présente certains inconvénients, un desquels consiste dans le fait que l'entraînement du bas, dû à l'action exercée directement par le rouleau sur le tissu de ce dernier, peut provoquer un allongement excessif et incorrect des mailles en raison de l'élasticité propre du tissu, spécialement si ce dernier présente une finesse élevée, avec le risque de compromettre la qualité du produit fini. Par ailleurs, il est nécessaire d'effectuer un réglage précis de la pression du rouleau sur le bas qui varie en fonction de la finesse du tissu, ainsi qu'un tendage préliminaire précis du bas sur le tube, faute de quoi le positionnement peut s'avérer plus long que prévu.Also known from European Patent No. 33039 is a device for automatic sewing of the toe of hosiery with heel, which comprises means for placing the toe portion of the foot of each stocking in a predetermined position relative to the corresponding heel. This is obtained by rotating the portion of the bottom leg, which has previously been threaded onto a corresponding fixed support tube, by means of a rubberized roller with an axis parallel to that of the tube and which is disposed laterally and adheres to the tube to cooperate with the bottom and allow its rotation by sliding around the longitudinal axis of the support until a photoelectric cell detects an appropriate mark inserted in the fabric of the bottom, so as to be in a predetermined position by compared to the heel. However, this known device has certain drawbacks, one of which is that the bottom entrainment, due to the action exerted directly by the roller on the fabric of the latter, can cause excessive and incorrect elongation of the stitches due to the own elasticity of the fabric, especially if it has a high level of finesse, with the risk of compromising the quality of the finished product. In addition, an adjustment is necessary precise roller pressure on the bottom which varies depending on the fineness of the fabric, as well as a precise preliminary stretching of the bottom on the tube, otherwise the positioning may be longer than expected.

Le but principal de la présente invention est d'éliminer les inconvénients précités.
Ce résultat a été atteint, conformément à l'invention, en adoptant l'idée de réaliser un dispositif comprenant, pour chaque produit manufacturé à positionner, un tube de support tournant autour de son propre axe longitudinal, des moyens pour l'entraînement dudit tube et une ou plusieurs cellules photo-électriques pour la détection d'un ou plusieurs repères insérés dans le tissu du produit manufacturé, dans lequel le tube de support du produit manufacturé est réalisé en deux éléments coaxiaux, celui prévu en correspondance de la portion du pied du produit manufacturé ayant son extrémité libre qui peut être reliée à un organe moteur correspondant pour commander sa rotation en même temps que la portion correspondante du produit manufacturé: un rouleau presseur, monté fou sur un axe parallèle à celui du tube et situé au-dessus de ce dernier en correspondance de son extrémité libre, étant prévu pour permettre l'adhérence correcte du produit manufacturé avec le support au cours de sa rotation.
The main object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
This result has been achieved, in accordance with the invention, by adopting the idea of producing a device comprising, for each manufactured product to be positioned, a support tube rotating around its own longitudinal axis, means for driving said tube. and one or more photocells for the detection of one or more marks inserted in the fabric of the manufactured product, in which the support tube of the manufactured product is made of two coaxial elements, that provided in correspondence with the portion of the foot of the manufactured product having its free end which can be connected to a corresponding motor member to control its rotation at the same time as the corresponding portion of the manufactured product: a pressure roller, mounted idly on an axis parallel to that of the tube and located above of the latter in correspondence with its free end, being provided to allow the correct adhesion of the manufactured product with the support during its rotation.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à la présente invention consistent essentiellement en ce qu'il est possible de disposer avec la précision et la rapidité maximales la portion du pied de n'importe quel produit manufacturé tubulaire par rapport aux moyens de couture de la pointe de manière que celle-ci se trouve dans une position prédéterminée par rapport à une quelconque autre zone du produit manufacturé, comme par exemple le talon dans le cas des bas avec talon ou le corps dans le cas des collants, sans engendrer de déformations dans les mailles du tissu et, ainsi, en garantissant la qualité maximale du produit fini, même en absence d'un tendage préliminaire précis du produit manufacturé sur le support correspondant; en ce qu'un dispositif conformément à l'invention est de fabrication simple et fiable, même après une longue période d'exploitation.The advantages obtained thanks to the present invention essentially consist in the fact that it is possible to arrange with maximum precision and rapidity the portion of the foot of any tubular manufactured product relative to the means of sewing the point so that the latter is in a position predetermined with respect to any other zone of the manufactured product, such as for example the heel in the case of stockings with heel or the body in the case of tights, without causing deformations in the mesh of the fabric and, thus, guaranteeing the quality maximum of the finished product, even in the absence of a precise preliminary stretching of the manufactured product on the corresponding support; in that a device according to the invention is simple and reliable to manufacture, even after a long period of operation.

Ces avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ainsi que d'autres seront plus et mieux compris de chaque homme du métier à la lumière de la description qui va suivre et à l'aide des dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemplification pratique de l'invention, mais à ne pas considérer dans le sens limitatif; dessins sur lesquels: la Fig. 1 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un dispositif conformément à l'invention, dans la position d'attente, sur laquelle sont visibles un tube de support des produits manufacturés, un groupe d'entraînement de celui-ci et le rouleau presseur respectif avec les moyens d'activation correspondants; la Fig. 2 représente le dispositif de la Fig. 1, dans la position de fonctionnement; la Fig. 2A représente une vue en plan d'un dispositif selon la Fig. 2, pour le positionnement de la portion du pied des deux bas d'un collant, sur laquelle sont visibles les deux tubes de support des bas et les rouleaux presseurs respectifs; la Fig. 2B représente le dispositif de la Fig. 2A, dans laquelle sont visibles les moyens d'entraînement des tubes; la Fig. 3 représente une vue de face du dispositif de la Fig. 2A, dans la position d'attente; la Fig. 4 représente le dispositif de la Fig. 3, dans la position de fonctionnement; la Fig. 5 représente une vue détaillée de l'organe moteur pour les moyens d'entraînement des tubes de support des bas dans le dispositif de la Fig. 4.These advantages and characteristics of the invention as well as others will be more and better understood by each person skilled in the art in the light of the description which will follow and with the aid of the appended drawings given by way of practical example of the invention, but not to be considered in the limiting sense; drawings in which: FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a device according to the invention, in the standby position, on which are visible a support tube for the manufactured products, a drive group thereof and the respective pressure roller with the corresponding activation means; Fig. 2 shows the device of Fig. 1, in the operating position; Fig. 2A shows a plan view of a device according to FIG. 2, for positioning the portion of the foot of the two bottoms of a pantyhose, on which the two support tubes for the bottoms and the respective pressure rollers are visible; Fig. 2B shows the device of FIG. 2A, in which the means for driving the tubes are visible; Fig. 3 shows a front view of the device of FIG. 2A, in the waiting position; Fig. 4 shows the device of FIG. 3, in the operating position; Fig. 5 shows a detailed view of the drive member for the means for driving the support tubes for the stockings in the device of FIG. 4.

Réduit à sa structure essentielle et en référence aux figures des dessins annexés, un dispositif pour le positionnement de la portion du pied des deux bas d'un collant conformément à l'invention comprenant, pour chaque bas, un tube (1) de support du bas, tournant autour de son axe longitudinal (a-a), lequel est réalisé en deux éléments coaxiaux: l'extrémité libre (10) de l'élément de tube (1) situé en correspondance du pied du bas étant profilée de manière à former un élément de logement pour un tampon (2) correspondant qui est coaxial avec le tube (1), relié à un organe moteur (3) pour commander sa rotation en même temps que la portion correspondante du bas, et asservi à un cylindre d'actionnement correspondant (4) à axe horizontal pour permettre son rapprochement du tube (1) et respectivement son éloignement. A proximité de l'extrémité libre de chaque tube (1) est monté un rouleau presseur caoutchouté (5) tournant librement autour d'un axe (b-b) parallèle à celui du tube (1) et destiné à comprimer le tissu du pied du bas sur le support (1) respectif durant la rotation de celui-ci. L'action ainsi exercée par chaque rouleau (5) sur le bas correspondant permet d'obtenir son adhérence maximale sur le tube respectif (1) de support. Une ou plusieurs cellules photo-électriques (6), disposées dans une position prédéterminée par rapport à un tube (1) correspondant, permettent de commander la désactivation, c'est-à-dire le retour en arrière, du tampon (2) correspondant, au moment de la détection d'un repère opportunément inséré dans le tissu du bas, selon une technique connue en soi pour les techniciens du secteur: plusieurs repères du type précité pouvant cependant être insérés dans un même bas. Les deux rouleaux (5) sont éloignés lorsque les deux bas se trouvent dans la position désirée.Reduced to its essential structure and with reference to the figures of the appended drawings, a device for positioning the portion of the foot of the two stockings of a pantyhose in accordance with the invention comprising, for each stocking, a tube (1) for supporting the bottom, rotating around its longitudinal axis (aa), which is made of two coaxial elements: the free end (10) of the tube element (1) located in correspondence of the bottom foot being profiled so as to form a housing element for a corresponding buffer (2) which is coaxial with the tube (1), connected to a motor member (3) to control its rotation at the same time as the corresponding portion of the bottom, and slaved to an actuating cylinder corresponding (4) to horizontal axis to allow its approximation to the tube (1) and respectively its distance. Near the free end of each tube (1) is mounted a rubberized pressure roller (5) freely rotating around an axis (bb) parallel to that of the tube (1) and intended to compress the fabric of the bottom foot on the respective support (1) during the rotation thereof. The action thus exerted by each roller (5) on the corresponding bottom makes it possible to obtain its maximum adhesion to the respective support tube (1). One or more photoelectric cells (6), arranged in a predetermined position relative to a corresponding tube (1), make it possible to control the deactivation, that is to say the reversing, of the corresponding buffer (2) , at the time of detection of a mark appropriately inserted in the fabric at the bottom, according to a technique known per se for technicians in the sector: several markers of the aforementioned type can however be inserted in the same bottom. The two rollers (5) are separated when the two bottoms are in the desired position.

Avantageusement, conformément à l'invention et en référence aux Fig. 3 et 4 des dessins annexés, chacun desdits rouleaux (5) est monté sur un support (50) à coulissement vertical et actionné au moyen d'un cylindre opérateur (51) à axe vertical. Par ailleurs, avantageusement, chacun desdits tampons (2) est relié au moteur (3) par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission à courroie (7).Advantageously, in accordance with the invention and with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings, each of said rollers (5) is mounted on a support (50) with vertical sliding and actuated by means of an operating cylinder (51) with vertical axis. Furthermore, advantageously, each of said buffers (2) is connected to the motor (3) via a belt transmission (7).

Le fonctionnement du dispositif décrit, dans la condition avec le bas déjà enfilé sur les tubes de support (1) correspondants, est le suivant. Chaque tampon (2), commandé par le cylindre (4) respectif, est rapproché du tube (1) correspondant jusqu'à permettre l'engagement réciproque, de manière que la rotation de chaque tampon provoque, par entraînement, celle du tube (1) correspondant. Simultanément, le support (50) des rouleaux (5) est abaissé sur la commande du cylindre d'actionnement (51). De cette manière est obtenue la compression du pied de chaque bas pour permettre son adhérence maximale sur le tube (1) respectif. De cette manière, on obtient la rotation du pied de chaque bas jusqu'à ce que la cellule photo-électrique (6) correspondante détecte le repère respectif. Lorsque le repère d'un bas a été détecté, le tampon (2) correspondant est ramené en arrière pour interrompre la transmission du mouvement, et par conséquent la rotation du tube (1) correspondant. Ceci permet de disposer le bas dans la position désirée. Lorsque les deux bas se trouvent dans la position voulue, le cylindre (51) commande le soulèvement du support (50) et, avec lui, des rouleaux (5) de manière à libérer les bas qui, dans la position ainsi obtenue, sont prêts pour la couture des pointes respectives.
Lesdits rouleaux (5) peuvent également être utilisés pour retenir les bas au terme de leur positionnement axial sur les tubes (1) respectifs, c'est-à-dire dans la phase qui précède celle décrite ci-dessus.
The operation of the device described, in the condition with the bottom already threaded on the corresponding support tubes (1), is as follows. Each pad (2), controlled by the respective cylinder (4), is brought closer to the corresponding tube (1) until allowing reciprocal engagement, so that the rotation of each pad causes, by entrainment, that of the tube (1 ) corresponding. Simultaneously, the support (50) of the rollers (5) is lowered on the control of the actuating cylinder (51). In this way is obtained the compression of the foot of each stocking to allow its maximum adhesion to the respective tube (1). In this way, the rotation of the foot of each stocking is obtained until the corresponding photoelectric cell (6) detects the respective mark. When the mark of a stocking has been detected, the corresponding buffer (2) is brought back to interrupt the transmission of the movement, and consequently the rotation of the corresponding tube (1). This allows the bottom to be placed in the desired position. When the two stockings are in the desired position, the cylinder (51) controls the lifting of the support (50) and, with it, rollers (5) so as to release the stockings which, in the position thus obtained, are ready for sewing the respective points.
Said rollers (5) can also be used to retain the stockings at the end of their axial positioning on the respective tubes (1), that is to say in the phase which precedes that described above.
