  • the main part 16 is a cylinder, but not a circular cylinder.
  • the main part 16 has suction openings all around, distributed over its inner surface 24, of which only a few are shown here. From the intake openings 24 channels, not shown here, lead to an intake line 26. Also the two Side plates have suction openings 24 and one suction line 26 each.
  • adjustment means on the inner edge of the main part and on the outer edge of the two side plates in the form of points 28, or holes or sections, which only in Figure 6 is shown for the main part, but analogously for the two side plates in Figure 5 should apply.
  • the adjustment means are used for orientation when creating the main part cut to the inner wall 20 of the main part 16 and the two side parts to the Inner walls of the two side plates 18, 19, i.e. on the walls facing the main part are.
  • the application can be done automatically or by an operator be performed.
  • the side plates 18, 19 are initially relatively far from Main part removed so that there is good access to the main part and side panels becomes.
  • the suction devices can work with low strength during the application process, so that the blanks can still be moved by hand, but a certain one Have a hold. As soon as all around the adjustment points 28 or the like of the main part and side plates with corresponding adjustment points or the like, which were printed on the blanks, match, the suction devices are provided to their full strength switched so that the blanks are fixed in their position.
  • the two protruding seam strips 34, 35 are now automatically sewn together. This is done in one of three different ways.
  • a known, relatively small automatic sewing device e.g. B. guided in a dovetail groove 37 The groove is tight provided at the edge of the side plate 18 and closed in itself, so runs around the whole Side plate 18, as well as the side plate 19.
