Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for steaming on forms hosiery articles and the like.
  • the method applies to steaming and packaging lines of articles such as stockings, tights, knee socks, panty hose, leotards, socks and other articles, capable of being steamed automatically on forms.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus that carries out this method.
  • the invention relates to a machine with a plurality of forms on which the articles are loaded that are carried through a loading and shaping station, a steaming station, a drying station and finally an unloading station of the steamed articles for packaging them.
  • Description of the prior art Automatic or semi-automatic machines are known that provide a step of loading the articles on forms arranged vertically on a carousel with several stations. The carousel brings in turn the forms to:
  • the carousel may have more couples of forms than the number of stations, for example 8, 10, 12 and more.
  • the forms usually are arranged tangentially with respect to the carousel, even if in some locations of the path they are radial.
  • Machines also exist that have forms arranged radially for all the stations or for large part of the path.
  • the articles are loaded on the forms in two steps. At first, they are loaded from the above on the forms in the loading station, in crumpled or unstretched condition. Then, in one or several following steps the articles are stretched on the forms by mechanical hands. Then, by means of mechanical fingers that move integrally to the forms, they are kept in position up to the unloading station.
  • the steaming step is critical when the forms enter the steaming chamber so that the article is steamed at a chosen temperature, that causes the relaxation of the fiber.
  • the stretching of the fiber on the forms determines a better distribution of the tension of the relaxed fiber and of the article same. Furthermore, the anatomical profile of the forms is copied by the article.
  • the steaming chamber has walls containing the steam, an inlet and an outlet.
  • the forms proceed tangentially following the trajectory of their bases in order to offer a minimum cross section when entering or leaving the chamber.
  • the step of entering and leaving the steaming chamber is further complicated, since either the forms must rotate for orienting tangentially themselves before entering, or the chamber must have a wide aperture.
  • a drying chamber In order to dry the steamed articles at the exit of the steaming chamber a drying chamber is normally provided with several stations. It is however necessary to define a closed space for containing the hot air delivered by radiating elements and to produce a drying flow.
  • the definition of this closed space requires inner and outer walls in radial direction and ducts for recirculating the hot air.
  • a method for steaming hosiery articles and the like comprises the steps of:
  • an apparatus for steaming hosiery articles and the like comprises:
  • a steaming chamber arranged in at least one of the stations and having a radial opening directed towards the wall; - means for moving radially the steaming chamber, so that the forms enter the chamber through the radial opening, up to when the latter sealingly touches the wall, as well as for withdrawing the chamber at the end of steaming;
  • the wall next to the forms that extends tangentially is a cylindrical wall integral to the carousel and to the forms.
  • cylindrical wall devices are mounted for holding the articles in a stretched position in the steaming chamber.
  • Such devices in particular for steaming tights, provide a mechanical finger that moves under the panties for holding them.
  • such devices provide instead friction jaws.
  • the cylindrical wall can define a closed space in the carousel, this closed space being used as channel for ventilating hot air through the drying chamber.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top plan view of a steaming machine for stockings according to the invention with a plurality of couples of forms belonging to a carousel with several stations and arranged radially;
  • - figure 2 shows a partial view of the engagement/ disengagement of the steaming chamber with respect to the forms in the steaming station
  • - figure 3 is an elevational view of the carousel of figure 1, cross sectioned according to arrows III-III of figure 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial plan view from below of the system actuating the translation of the steaming chamber
  • FIG. 5 is an elevational view of the carousel of figure 1, cross sectioned according to arrows V-V of figure 1;
  • an apparatus for steaming stockings and tights is formed by a carousel 1 rotatable about a central axis 2 with respect to a base frame 3.
  • carousel 1 is formed by a tubular body 10 (figure 3 and 5) with cylindrical wall 11, pivotally connected by means of bearings 12 to the base frame 3.
  • the rotation of carousel 1 is obtained by means of a pinion gear 13 mounted to the base frame 3 by means of a support 14 and operated by a motor 15.
  • Forms 4 are mounted cantilever-like to wall 11 by means of cantilever arms 16. Stretching devices 17 are provided at the sides of arms 16, arranged between each couple of forms 4 and suitable for holding the panties of the tights between the forms.
  • Wall 11 besides having the function of rotating the forms, has also the task of supporting radially the forms 4 by means of cantilever arms 16 so that they do not require supports arranged below, which are bulky and cause problems when entering the steaming chamber.
  • fitting station 6 (figure 1), devices are provided 18 and 19 of known type, and for this reason not described in detail, suitable for fitting the stockings and the panties when steaming panty hoses.
  • the steaming chamber indicated with the numeral 20 (figure 2), has U-shaped cross section, with an opening 21 directed radially towards axis 2 and having seals 22.
  • the chamber 20 is closed at the top and bottom where it is connected to flexible tubes 24 for feeding and discharging the steam (figure 3) .
  • the chamber 20 is kept hanging on a guide and is moved by actuator arms 25, shown also in figure 4, articulated to crank arms 26.
  • a vertical shaft 27 is integral to crank arms 26 and is pivotally connected to carousel 1 held by an axial bearing 28 at the base frame 3.
  • a motor 29 operates the rotation of vertical shaft 27 thus causing crank arms 26 to rotate and then to reciprocate chamber 20 by means of actuating arm 25.
  • Steaming chamber 20 can move from a open position, indicated in figure 2 with a continuous line, to a closed position, indicated in figure 2 with a dotted line.
  • steaming chamber 20 does not block the movement of forms 4 and allows their free rotation integrally to wall 11.
  • steaming chamber 20 fully incorporates the form 4 and its cantilever arm that is located in the steaming station 7, and its opening 21 touches against wall 11, in order to prevent steam leaking by means of seals 22.
  • the cylindrical wall 11 has then the third function of providing a closure wall for steaming chamber 20. Furthermore wall 11 has a fourth function of supporting devices 30, one for each couple of forms 4, which operate mechanical fingers 31 that in some stations extend radially towards outside for supporting the article or for cooperating at loading. In particular when the articles are tights, mechanical fingers 31 hold the panties in the step of loading, for a fitting step by devices 18 and 19.
  • wall 11 that moves integrally to forms 4 can support a desired device that has, in one or more stations, functions that are auxiliary to the forms same, with the advantage that this device follows the forms without causing any obstruction.
  • a drying chamber 40 is formed between doors 41 and wall 11.
  • heating elements 42 are mounted that send hot air towards the above against forms 4 that are carried through chamber 40.
  • Fans 43 re-circulate the air within tubular body 10 defined by wall 11, up to flow back to heating elements 42.
  • wall 11 has the fifth function of defining drying chamber 40 and the sixth function of allowing hot air circulation without the need of specially provided ducts.
  • the stockings (not shown) present in the unloading station 9 are drawn from the above in a way known by a carrying unit to rollers 45 not described in detail, since of known type.
  • stretching device 17 is divaricated and causes a disengagement of the stockings from forms 4 as well as an enlargement of the panties that allows a correct picking up of the stockings by unit 45.
  • the loading unit 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 is shown as present in the station 5, which is also of known type and then not described in detail.
  • the chamber defining element may also be a door and the chambers may be defined by recesses formed by the wall and the door.
  • the forms may be mounted on cantilever arms inside the recesses and may be extended outside the recesses in the loading, fitting and unloading station, whereas they stay in the recesses in the steaming and drying station.
