Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying a marking to a knitted garment, such as and in particular tights or another garment with a body and possibly two legs.
  • the invention also relates to a method for applying a marking to a garment of the aforesaid type.
  • a first object of the present invention is to produce a method whereby a marking is applied automatically and without the use of labour on a garment of this type.
  • the method uses a heat-transfer procedure to apply the marking.
  • the method includes the following steps:
  • the template may be a setting template, of the type normally used to finish tights or similar knitted manufactured products.
  • Ironing machines equipped with templates that may be utilized for this purpose are known and described for example in USA patent 5.094.371 and in British patent application number 2.131.465.
  • the method includes the phases of: positioning a pair of clamps next to said template; translating the clamps along said template to intercept the waistband of the garment; engaging the waistband of the garment with said clamps; moving the clamps away from the template, to detach a portion of the waistband of the garment from it; partially overturning said portion of waistband around a section over which the waistband is pulled by said clamps; applying the marking to said portion of waistband; releasing the waistband of the garment.
  • a further object of the present invention is to produce a device to apply a marking to a knitted garment, of the type comprising a body and possibly two leg portions, for example tights or the like.
  • this object is attained with a device comprising elements to engage the waistband of the garment, which engage a portion of the waistband of the garment and cause it to partially overturn, exposing the internal surface of the waistband to a marking element.
  • the marking element is a heat transfer element for a transfer, and comprises a heated pad co-acting with a pressing surface.
  • the engaging elements comprise a pair of clamps which grasp the waistband of the garment In two spaced out points to overturn it partially.
  • a section is provided positioned between the two clamps, around which the portion of waistband of the garment engaged between said clamps is at least partially overturned through relative movement between the section and the clamps.
  • the section positioned between the clamps is associated with the pressing surface with which the heated pad of the marking element cooperates.
  • the section and the pressing surface may be produced from a single component.
  • each of the clamps may advantageously comprise a first engaging element for the waistband of the garment and a second engaging element, which may be constituted by a cylinder or other insert in elastomeric material, against which the garment is pressed by the first engaging element.
  • figure 1 shows an overall side view and partial section of the device according to the invention
  • figure 2 shows a view according to ll-ll in figure 1
  • figure 3 shows a side view of a clamp
  • figure 4 shows a bottom view according to IV-IV in figure 1
  • figure 5 shows a section according to a vertical plane of the assembly carrying the clamps and the marking element in the initial position of the marking cycle, after engaging the waistband of the garment inserted on the setting template
  • figure 5A shows the same section as figure 5, in a phase immediately subsequent to the one shown in figure 5
  • figure 6 shows a view according to VI-VI in figure 5
  • figure 7 shows a section according to VII-VII in figure 5
  • figure 8 shows a side view of the clamps in the closed position, which they adopt in the phase subsequent to the one shown in figures 5, 6 and 7
  • figure 9 shows a section analogous to the section in figure 5 in a position in which
  • FIG 1 shows solely and schematically a setting template, indicated with S, on which a garment is inserted on the waistband of which the marking or transfer is to be applied.
  • the device 1 is positioned adjacent to one of the positions in which the setting templates S stop to interact with the garment inserted on the template S which each time stops in the position in which the device 1 is positioned.
  • the device 1 comprises, on a base 3, an upright 5, extending along which are two guides 7 and 9 for corresponding runners 11 and 13.
  • the runners 11 , 13 are integral with a moving unit 15 designed to translate vertically according to the double arrow f15 along the upright 5.
  • the vertical movement of the moving unit 15 is controlled by means of a motor 17 and a threaded bar 19 on which a nut screw 21 , integral with the moving unit, engages.
  • the moving unit 15 carries an assembly 23 which comprises, as shall be described in greater detail hereunder, engaging elements for the waistband of the garment inserted on the setting template S, and a marking element and pressing or contrast surface for said marking element.
  • the assembly 23 is provided as a whole with a movement to move near to and move away from the setting template S maintaining the unit 15 at a standstill. This moving near to and moving away from movement is controlled by a piston-cylinder actuator 25 integral with a plate 27 which forms the main body of the moving unit 15 and with which the runners 11 , 13 are also integral. From the position shown in figure 1 the assembly 23 may be moved close to the setting template S without translating the moving unit 15 vertically, by extending the piston-cylinder actuator 25. In this movement, the assembly 23 is guided by a runner 28 integral with it and sliding along a guide 30 integral with the plate 27.
  • the assembly 23 comprises the engaging elements for the waistband of the garment inserted on the setting template S.
  • the engaging elements comprise a pair of clamps 37 carried by a slide 33 integral with a guide 35 sliding in a runner 37 which is part of the assembly 23 and anchored to a plate 39 rigidly anchored to the rod of the piston-cylinder actuator 25 which controls the moving near to and moving away from movement of the assembly 23 in relation to the setting template S in the direction f23.
  • Each clamp 31 comprises a first element 41 to engage with the waistband of the garment, equipped with an idle roller 42.
  • Each element 41 has a pointed form to be inserted easily between the surface of the setting template S and the garment inserted on this.
  • the first element 41 with the respective roller 42 of each clamp 31 is positioned against the setting template S when the assembly 23 is moved towards the setting template S controlled by the actuator 25.
  • the first element 41 cooperates with a second element 43 with which each clamp 31 is equipped.
  • This second element 43 is constituted by an insert in relatively soft elastomeric material, for example in the form of a small cylinder, with the purpose of holding the waistband of the garment when the clamp closes without damaging the garment.
  • the opening and closing movement of each clamp is controlled by a respective actuator 45 anchored to a slider on which the first element 41 of the clamp is formed.
  • the clamps are anchored to a common slide 47, running along guides 49.
  • the slide 47 runs along the guides 49 controlled by a piston-cylinder actuator 51 mounted on the slide 33.
  • the number 53 indicates an adjustable stop which defines the limit stop position of the slide 47 and therefore of the clamps anchored to it.
  • a section 55 rounded at the front and which forms at the bottom a seat for an insert in elastomeric material 57 with a flat surface, which forms a pressing surface or contrast surface for a heated pad 59 which constitutes the actual marking element.
  • the section 55 and the insert in elastomeric material 57 are integral with the plate 39.
  • a cylinder 60 of a piston-cylinder actuator 61 which controls, as shall be explained hereunder, the movements of the various elements of the assembly 23 in a direction coinciding with the direction f23 of movement of the assembly as a whole in relation to the setting template S.
  • the rod 63 of the piston-cylinder actuator 61 is connected, by means of interposition of a compression spring 65, to a slider 67 running in relation to the plate 39 according to the arrow f67, guided in bushings 68 by means of guide bars 70.
  • a guide bar 69 Integral with the slide 33 is a guide bar 69 around which a compression spring 71 is arranged, which reacts between the slide 33 and a spacer 73 inserted around the guide bar 69 and resting on the slider 67, which has a hole through which the bar 69 passes.
  • a stop 74 At the lower end of the bar 69 is a stop 74, against which the slider 67 rests through the effect of the compression spring 71.
  • the plate 39 with which the cylinder 60 of the piston-cylinder actuator 61 is integral, forms a stop 75 against which the slide 33 stops when it is thrust by the piston-cylinder actuator 61 through the restraint formed between the slide 33 and the rod 63 of the actuator 61 by the slider 67, the spacer 73 and the spring 71.
  • Extension of the actuator 61 therefore causes, as a first effect, a movement of the slider 67 and of the slide 33 with the elements connected to it, namely the guides 49, the slide 47, the actuator 51 and the clamps 31.
  • the compression springs 85 react between the slider 67 and a crosspiece 89 integral with the guide bars 83 and carrying four idle guide rollers 91 , 92, 93 and 94 for a strip N bearing the transfers to be transferred onto the garment.
  • the strip N is unwound from a roll R1 and rewound on a roll R2 of spent strip. The two rolls are carried by the plate 27 forming the main body of the moving unit 15 and therefore follow its movement.
  • the strip N passes through a sensor 98 which reads references produced on the strip to position the various transfers at the transfer element.
  • the sensor 98 for example an optical sensor, thereby causes a motor 96 to start and stop, to unwind the strip N from the roll R1 and rewind it on the roll R2, to have said strip perform a step, corresponding to the marking or transfer, for each garment to be marked.
  • the rollers 92 and 93 carried by the crosspiece 89 are positioned against two surfaces 97 integral with the slide 33 and movable with it.
  • the piston-cylinder actuator 61 causes, as it continues in its travel beyond the position in which the slide 33 comes into contact with the stop 75, the movement of the crosspiece 89 towards the contact surfaces 97 to cause the strip N to be clamped against these surfaces.
  • Integral with the slider 67 are uprights 101 connected rigidly to the heated pad 59. This pad is heated internally by means of an electrical resistor, not shown. It is positioned against the elastomeric insert 57 which remains fixed in relation to the bracket or plate 39 during the entire movement of the remaining elements controlled by the piston-cylinder actuator 61.
  • the compression springs 85 allow the slider 67 to be raised above the stop position of the crosspiece 89 to carry the heated pad 59 to be positioned against the pressure surface defined by the elastomeric insert 57.
  • the device described hereinbefore performs, for each garment to be marked, a cycle described hereunder with reference to the sequence of positions shown in the figures 5 to 20.
  • the garment T is shown only in a few of the figures for greater clarity of the drawing.
  • the assembly 23 is made to advance according to the arrow f23 to carry the clamps 31 to be positioned against the template, in a position below the position of the waistband of the garment inserted on the setting template.
  • the moving unit 15 is then gradually raised according to the arrow f 15 to intercept the waistband B of the garment, indicated with I in figure 5, with the clamps 31.
  • a sensor for example an optical sensor, schematically indicated with 24, is associated with the assembly 23.
  • the sensor comprises an emitter and a receiver and detects the presence of the garment l thanks to the fact that the optical signal emitted by the transmitter is no longer reflected by the at least partially reflecting surface of the setting template S.
  • the raising movement of the moving unit 15 is not stopped immediately after detection of the garment by the sensor 24, but this movement continues for an amount sufficient to guarantee insertion of the clamps 31 , or more specifically of the element 41 of the clamps, under the waistband B of the garment.
  • the raising movement of the moving unit 15 terminates when the unit 23 has adopted, in relation to the garment inserted on the template S, the position shown in figure 5.
  • the various elements and mechanical parts of the assembly 23 are in the position shown in figures 5, 6 and 7 with the piston-cylinder actuator 61 fully withdrawn.
  • the waistband B of the garment I is engaged by the clamps 31 by means of a closing movement of the clamps controlled by the respective actuators 45.
  • the clamps close to adopt the position shown in figure 5A.
  • the subsequent movement is the one to move the portion of the elastic waistband B of the garment I away from the setting template S.
  • This movement is attained by means of the actuator 51 which makes the slide 47, and consequently the clamps integral with it, move away.
  • the clamps adopt the position shown in figures 8 and 9.
  • the portion of the waistband B of the garment I engaged between the two clamps 31 is moved away from the setting template S and drawn under the surface formed by the insert 57, with partial overturning of this portion of waistband around the section 55.
  • Figures 12, 13 and 14 show a first intermediate position reached by the assembly 23 during extending travel of the piston-cylinder actuator 61.
  • This first stretch of travel causes raising of the slider 67, crosspiece 89 and slide 33 and all parts and elements connected rigidly to these three components.
  • the raising movement of slide 33 and consequently of guide 49, actuator 51 , clamps 31 and respective actuators to operate these clamps terminates when the slide 33 is positioned against the surface 75 integral with the plate 39. This movement removes the clamps 31 and relative actuator elements from the pressing surface.
  • Further extension of the piston-cylinder actuator 61 causes continuation of the travel to raise the slider 67 and the crosspiece 89, this travel being made possible by gradual compression of the spring 71.
  • the raising movement of the crosspiece 89 terminates when the guide rollers 92 and 93 come to rest against the surfaces 97.
  • the position in which the raising movement of the crosspiece 89 stops is shown in figures 15, 16 and 17. In this position a stretch of the strip N with the marking to be transferred to the garment remains clamped between the two guide rollers 92 and 93. Compression of the springs 85 allows further raising of the slider 67 and of the pad 59 integral with said slider 67. This further raising travel terminates when the heated pad 59 is positioned to press against the pressing surface defined by the insert 57. The strip N bearing the transfers is thus pressed by the heated pad 59 against the internal surface of the -overturned portion of the waistband B of the garment I, thereby allowing the transfer to be transferred to the fabric of which the garment is formed.
  • the piston-cylinder actuator 61 may at this point perform a withdrawing travel to return the elements forming the assembly 23 to the position shown in figs. 9, 10 and 11.
  • the actuator 51 and the clamps 31 perform the reverse movement to the one described above and the moving unit 15 is lowered, releasing the garment and being positioned for a subsequent marking cycle.
  • the assembly 23 is made to move away in relation to said template translating on the guides carried by the plate 27 in the direction of the arrow f23 to remove the clamps 31 from the surface of the template.
