Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for folding garments, in particular pant legs, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a device for folding garments, in particular pant legs, according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • trouser legs having clothing in particular work clothes, such as dungarees, but also ordinary trousers, first a superimposing of the trouser legs.
  • the trouser legs are usually only largely overlapped, although they can overlap completely for certain pants.
  • the invention relates to both possibilities, ie both the whole and partially overlapping the trouser legs.
  • the trouser legs are folded in the hanging state one behind the other. This requires a considerable expenditure on equipment. Furthermore It may be that in the hanging state at least partially concealed trouser legs move apart until reaching the folding area again.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and a simple device for folding particular trouser legs having garments that allow the superimposition of the legs with little effort and ensure that the trouser legs do not move apart again until reaching the folding area.
  • a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1.
  • the overlapping of the pant legs in the lying state can be done just before the actual folding area. If the pant legs lie flat on top of each other, they can not move apart as easily as the fold area as is the case when the pant legs are overlapped when hanging.
  • the trouser legs of the item of clothing lying one above the other is preferably provided to place the trouser legs of the item of clothing lying one above the other on an approximately horizontal support.
  • the overlapping of the trouser legs located on the approximately horizontal underlay occurs during the further transport of the item of clothing in the direction of the folding area.
  • the trouser legs lying on the underlay are particularly easy to put together or one on top of the other. This is especially true when the trouser legs are superimposed during further transport to the folding area.
  • the method it is provided to place the trouser legs of the clothing pieces on one another in the direction of the folding area of obliquely directed brush rollers during the further transport.
  • the brush rollers are easy to implement tools for superimposing the legs, especially since they need not be driven. It has been found that the brush rollers can be sufficient to superimpose the trouser legs in the desired manner, wherein moreover a smooth pulling of the trouser legs takes place.
  • the pant legs are brought into different parallel planes before superimposing.
  • a trouser leg is raised, lengthwise, before the pant legs are overlaid.
  • the trouser legs are superimposed on each other to superimpose in different levels with a slight distance.
  • the trouser legs do not touch each other when stacked, resulting in a wrinkle-free superimposition of the Pants legs result, especially if the superimposition is done with slanted brush rollers.
  • a Beinlegestation is provided with a horizontal or almost horizontal surface, on which the pant legs are überchrolegbar.
  • the trouser legs rest on the horizontal laying surface and are thus automatically fixed on the laying surface.
  • the trouser legs resting on the horizontal laying surface are simply superimposed without wrinkles.
  • Such a device has a simple structure.
  • Laying surface has a movable up and down additional laying surface.
  • This additional laying surface preferably extends only over one half of the laying area.
  • the additional laying surface may also extend over a little more than half of the laying area. It rests as a trouser leg on the solid surface, while the other trouser legs rests on the adjacent adjoining support surface.
  • the additional laying surface is also horizontal or approximately horizontally extending as the laying surface.
  • An advantageous development of the invention provides to assign the laying surface and preferably also the additional laying surface freely rotatable brush rollers for superimposing the trouser legs.
  • the brush rollers tighten the pant legs and move them together to bring them into an overlapping position. This happens while the item of clothing, in particular the bib trousers, is transported further in the direction of the folding area of the device and a trouser leg has been slightly raised by the additional laying surface.
  • the transport movement which is required in any case, is thus utilized according to the invention in order to place the pant legs one above the other without additional driven components.
  • each pant leg is between the brush rollers of a brush roller pair moved through.
  • the pairs of brush rollers overlap each other's legs, whereby they are simultaneously smoothed by the brush roller pairs.
  • a development of the device provides to change the distance between the brush rollers of each brush roller pair.
  • the brush rollers can be put out of operation by moving apart, so that they do not come into contact with garments.
  • the brush rollers of the pairs of brush rollers can be moved together when clothing pieces containing trouser legs are to be folded.
  • the brush rollers are expediently brought together only when the trouser legs of a pair of trousers have already reached the laying area and areas of the trouser legs adjoining the waistband area of the trousers are already between the brush rollers of each pair of brush rollers.
  • each pair of brush rollers lie on the longitudinal central axes of the brush roller axes of rotation of each pair of brush rollers are arranged to extend parallel to each other, wherein the parallel axes of rotation of the brush rollers of the different pairs of brush rollers at an obtuse angle V-shaped to each other.
  • This V-shaped course of the brush roller pairs is such that the obtuse angle enclosed by the brush roller pairs is arranged on the front side of the pairs of brush rollers when viewed in the transport direction of the clothing item.
  • the pairs of brush rollers pull the trouser legs together when passing through the brush roller pairs, which leads to a specific superimposition of the trouser legs.
  • the trouser legs are pulled smoothly as they pass through the pairs of brush rolls on opposite sides of the longitudinal central axis of the laying surface and are also laid over one another when lying down. As a result, a wrinkle-free subsequent folding of the garment, in particular the trouser legs, guaranteed.
  • the invention further provides for arranging at least one detection means in the area of the laying area or even in front of it.
  • This detection means is designed and positioned such that it detects whether the garment supplied to the laying surface Has pant legs or not. In this way, it is possible only to lift the additional laying surface and only bring the brush rollers of the brush roller pairs together when the garment pieces having trouser legs are fed to the laying surface.
  • the brush rollers are kept apart so that they do not come into contact with such items of clothing.
  • the additional laying surface remains lowered, so that its top is approximately flush with the flat surface. As a result, the brush rollers and the additional laying surface do not affect the garments when not in use, namely in the presence of garments without pant legs.
  • the figures show a part of a designated in technical jargon as folding machine device for folding garments, especially workwear pieces.
  • the folding machine is suitable for folding garments of any kind.
  • the invention relates to a special embodiment of the folding machine for folding trouser legs 10 having garments such as dungarees or trousers.

  • the feed direction 13 is located at the beginning of the folding machine, a horizontal surface 14.
  • the surface 14 can also be slightly oblique, in the feed direction 13 slightly increasing.
  • On the laying surface 14 is followed by a folding area 15 of the folding machine. In the folding area 15, the overalls 10 are folded one or more times as needed.
  • the folding area 15 is designed so that it is also suitable for folding other items of clothing, in particular workwear pieces, and if necessary can also perform other folds, for example longitudinal folds.
  • the pant legs 11 are superimposed in the lying state on the bed surface 14, in such a way that they partially overlap, in particular the ends 16 of the pant legs 11 are mostly superimposed ( Fig. 3 ).
  • both in the feed direction 13 and also horizontally extending laying surface 14 has a longitudinal central axis 17 extending in the feed direction 13, which extends centrally through the laying surface 14.
  • an equal half of the laying surface 14 is located on both sides of the longitudinal central axis 17.
  • One half (into the FIGS. 2 and 3 the left half) of the laying surface 14 is associated with a submit privilegeS 18.
  • the additional laying surface 18 completely overlaps the (left) half of the laying surface 14, wherein in the exemplary embodiment shown, an inner longitudinal edge 19 of the auxiliary laying surface 18 protrudes slightly beyond the longitudinal central axis 17 ( Fig.
  • the additional laying surface 18 is slightly larger than one half of the laying surface 14.
  • the additional laying surface 18 can be moved up and down by suitable drives, for example pneumatic cylinders.
  • the additional laying surface 18 rests on the laying surface 14 (FIG. Fig. 7 ).
  • the additional support surface 18 is at a parallel distance slightly above the laying surface 14, and although so far that in a gap 25 between the raised additional laying surface 18 and the underlying part of the laying surface 14, a part of a not raised by the additional support surface 18 pant leg 11 (in the illustrated embodiment of the right leg 11) can lie.
  • the laying surface 14 are assigned two equal brush roller pairs of two superimposed brush rollers 20.
  • Each brush roller 20 is freely rotatable about a rotational axis 21 extending through the longitudinal center axis of the respective brush roller 20.
  • the axes of rotation 21 of both brush rollers 20 of each pair of brush rollers are parallel to each other, namely horizontally oriented.
  • the two pairs of brush rollers V-shaped are arranged to each other, so that the axes of rotation 21 of the brush rollers at an obtuse angle of less than 180 ° to the longitudinal central axis 17.
  • the V-shaped arrangement of the brush roller pairs is such that the angle enclosed by the two brush roller pairs on opposite sides of the longitudinal central axis 17 is less than 180 ° on the side facing the folding area 15.
  • Between the brush rollers 20 of each one half of the laying surface 14 associated pair of brush rollers runs a trouser leg 11 when pulling the hanging on the transport hanger dungarees 10 in the feed direction 13 therethrough ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ).
  • the brush rollers 20 of each brush roller pair can be moved together and apart by a suitable drive, for example pneumatic cylinders.
  • a suitable drive for example pneumatic cylinders.
  • the ends of the bristles touch the trouser legs 11 drawn between the brush rollers 20 on the upper and lower sides, which are thereby in frictional connection with the bristles of the brush rollers 20.
  • the ends of the bristles of the brush roller 20 of each brush roller pair are spaced so far apart that there is a sufficiently large gap 25 between them through which parts of the overalls 10, but especially other garments, without contact with the brush rollers 20 are pulled through.
  • the brush rollers 20 have moved apart ( Fig.
  • the underlying bristles of the upper brush rollers 20 are at a distance above the laying surface 14, while the upper bristles of the lower brush roller 20 are below the laying surface 14 and in particular below the additional laying surface 18.
  • the laying surfaces 14 and the additional laying surfaces 18 in the areas of the pairs of brush rollers on openings 26 for the lower brush rollers 20, whereby in deactivated state ( Fig. 7 ), the lower brush rollers 20 can be moved back below the laying surface 14 and the additional support surface 18.
  • the laying surface 14 has laterally extendable and extendable Lege vomverbreiteronne 22.
  • the extended laying surface widenings 22 are shown. These plate-shaped laying area widenings 22 widen the area of the laying area 14 which lies in the feed direction 13 in that the laying area widenings 22 widen opposite longitudinal edges 23 of the laying area 14.
  • the laying area is shown with retracted laying area widenings 22. In this state, the Lege vomverbreiteronne 22 are moved together below the laying surface 14 so that they do not protrude or not appreciably opposite the longitudinal edges 23.
  • the Lege vomverbreiteronne 22 may alternatively be formed of retractable and extendable rods, straps or the like.
  • the device furthermore has at least one detection means, not shown, which is preferably arranged in front of the laying area 17 in the feed direction 13.

  • the bristles of the brush rollers 20 come to frictional engagement with the trouser legs 11, both at the top and at the bottom of each pant leg 11 (FIGS. Fig. 5 ).
  • the freely rotatable brush rollers 20 are offset from lying between the brush rollers 20 of each brush roller pair of pant legs 11 in rotation.
  • a force directed transversely to the axes of rotation 21 of the brush rollers 20 is exerted on the trouser legs 11 by the brush rollers 20, which converges towards the longitudinal center axis 17 in the direction of feed.
  • This superimposition of the pant legs 11 is favored by the raised additional laying surface 18, whereby the trouser legs 11 are in different levels and the flat pant legs 11 without touching each other, can be superimposed.
  • the friction of the freely rotatable brush rollers 20 promotes the laying in the horizontal state superimposing the trouser legs 11 and at the same time to an extension of the trouser legs 11 as a result of the succession of the pant legs 11 taking place further transport of the dungarees 10 in the feed direction 13. It may optionally to a small slippage come between the brush rollers 20 and the pants legs 11, which leads to an improved smoothing effect of the pant legs 11 when taking place in the horizontal state lying on top of the same.
  • the folding device is also suitable for folding other items of clothing, in particular workwear pieces, and especially those that have no trouser legs 11. If such items of clothing are fed to the automatic folding machine, this is detected in front of the laying area 14 by the at least one detection means arranged there. There then follows a suitable setting of the control of the folding machine. The no trouser legs 11 having garments is then pulled over with lowered appealtude Strets 18 and spaced apart brush rollers 20 on the laying surface 14, wherein 20 such a garment with the brush rollers 20 does not come into contact by the spaced-apart brush rollers. Depending on the garment, the Lege vomverbreiteronne 22 may be extended in the short term or stay together.
