Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for affixing strings of alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like on fabrics, particularly on items of clothing and the like.
  • alphanumeric codes typically consist of a set of letters, numerals and symbols made, according to the requirements, of metal or plastics, which can be fixed to the fabric according to several known methods.
  • these known methods can comprise the fixing of the entire string to the fabric in a single operation by way of known methods, such as for example punching or riveting.
  • An alternative to this affixing method can consist for example in sewing or otherwise fixing one character at a time if the string is not monolithic, so as to make the characters independent one another.
  • the fabric retains its elasticity and flexibility substantially unchanged.
  • US-6 058 573 discloses a fastener system for ornaments for leather type fabrics that does not provide for a pressing operation by means of a press.
  • FR-A-2 187 557 discloses a string of characters coupled by means of male-female coupling.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks noted above by providing a method for affixing strings of alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like on fabrics, which allows the characters that define the string to be fixed to a fabric in a single operation and independently of each other without thus altering the elastic characteristics of the fabric.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a method that uses apparatuses and machines that are typical of the sector.
  • the method for affixing strings of alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like on fabrics comprises a first step 101 for positioning a string 1 of alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like 2 in bas-relief on a first presser 11 of a press 50, which for example can be arranged on the ram of the press 50.
  • the string 1 can be defined by a plurality of alphanumeric characters 2 that are molded and aligned according to a predefined layout and held in position with respect to each other by first positioning means 3.
  • the positioning means 3 can be defined, for example, by at least one first positioning bar 5, which is obtained monolithically with the alphanumeric characters 2 and is connected to them by means of wings 6 that are thinner than the alphanumeric characters 2 for facilitated removal of said first positioning bar 5.
  • the string 1 is arranged in the first presser 11, which consists of a ram that has such a shape as to accommodate the string 1 and defines a plurality of punches that are adapted to deform plastically the alphanumeric characters 2 of the string 1 in order to obtain a plurality of engagement pins 4 that protrude from the rear face of the alphanumeric characters 2.
  • the engagement pins 4 are adapted to engage supporting elements 22 for contrast abutment of the alphanumeric characters 2.
  • This second string 21 is arranged on a second presser 31 of the press 50, which can be located for example on the anvil of the press 50.
  • the string 21 can be defined by a plurality of supporting elements 22 that are molded and aligned according to a layout that corresponds to the layout of the string 1 and the second presser 31 also has such a contour as to be able to accommodate the string 21.
  • second positioning means 23 which can be defined by at least one second positioning bar 25 obtained monolithically with the supporting elements 22 and connected to them by means of wings 26 that are thinner than the supporting elements 22 for the facilitated removal of the second positioning bar 25.
  • the string 1 in order to have higher versatility it is possible to provide two positioning bars 25 that are arranged respectively at the top and at the bottom of the supporting elements 22.
  • the step 101 and the step 102 need not be performed with a precise mutual sequence. Performing one or the other first, or performing them simultaneously, is the same.
  • a further very important aspect resides in that if both the string 1 and the string 21 each have both positioning bars 5 or 25, it is necessary to perform respectively a first step 100a for preparing the string 1 and a second step 100b for preparing the string 21 prior to the respective steps 101 and 102.
  • step 100a and the step 100b consist in eliminating a positioning bar 5 and the non-corresponding positioning bar 25.
  • the fabric 41 is thus placed between the first presser 11 and the second presser 31 and kept in position, even manually, while the press closure step 104 is performed in order to press the alphanumeric characters 2 onto the corresponding supporting elements 22, with the fabric 41 interposed, for their mutual fixing.
  • the punches work on the alphanumeric characters 2, generating the engagement pins 4, which are forced together with the fabric 41 into the holes 24 of the corresponding supporting elements 22.
  • this last step 106 consists in removing the positioning bars 5 and 25 that remain on the two strings 1 and 21 by breaking respectively the wings 6 and 26 and disengaging the alphanumeric characters 2 from each other.
  • Another advantage of the method according to the present invention consists in that it is possible to fix all the alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like simultaneously, therefore using an amount of time that is independent of the number of alphanumeric characters, symbols or the like comprised within the string to be fixed to the fabric.
  • Another advantage of the method according to the present invention consists in that it uses, for its execution, equipment that is commonly used in the field, with a consequent containment of costs.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
