Description

The invention relates to a device for hemming and repacking of fabrics and textile materials specified in the preamble of claim 1 Art.

Such a device is known from DE 84 33 274 U 1 known. Here, a magnetic base is described, on which the fabric to be processed is placed and then fixed with a template consisting of paramagnetic material. The edges of the fabric can then simply be turned over once or several times with an iron, creating a hem. The disadvantage here, however, is that you have no clues as to how far the hem must be transposed or just been transfigured. This must first be measured and marked with a tailor's chalk or a marker. Otherwise you run the risk that the hem is not straight or too wide or too narrow. In addition, the device with the magnetic base and the template of paramagnetic material is expensive and expensive to manufacture.

The DE 10 2007 018 256 B 3 describes a strap hand measure. This has notches on an outer edge, which are labeled with units of measure as well as some lines by means of which substances in exact lines can be laid or ironed. However, it is not possible to mark a substance at a predetermined distance, for example at a distance of one centimeter from its edge, for example with a marking pen, without using the manual measure several times for measuring or an additional cutting rule or the like for use bring to.

The DE 20 2007 010 251 U 1 Finally, describes a tool for making hems and edges in the hobby shop. The tool is flat and made of a heat-resistant material. In addition, the tool has clearance marks parallel to an outer edge that can be used to lay down and then iron a piece of fabric. A marking of the fabric with tailor's chalk or a marker pen is not provided here. The corresponding markings on the tool are therefore not designed as breakthroughs. Also measures or a scale, the object described here not on, so that still an additional Schneiderlineal, a tape measure o.ä. must be used to rework the correct seam allowances to a hem.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for hemming and repunching of fabrics and textile materials, which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages and which allows both a folding and fixing by ironing pre-marked on the device distances as well as a marking of the substance itself , This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1, which has the following special significance.

The device has parallel rows of apertures, both parallel to at least one of the long edges, and parallel to at least one of the short edges. These breakthroughs may serve as an orientation when hemming, by allowing the fabric to be folded over the edge of the device and applied to the apertures for subsequent ironing. On the other hand, the breakthroughs can also be penetrated with a marker pen to mark the fabric at a defined distance and thus to create a hem. Furthermore, at least one length scale is arranged on at least one outer edge of the device to make dimensions on the fabric, in particular dimensions that relate to the width of the seam. Furthermore, linear markings are provided on at least one side of the device. These optically connect a series of apertures and / or extend defined points of the linear scale in an optical manner. Thus, it is easier for an operator to straighten the fabric when transferring or ironing to align with the device. This is particularly important for longer hems, in order to obtain no difference in length in the garment or other textile goods.

Preferably, the length scale is attached to both long edges of the device towards one end of the device. This is particularly advantageous when short seams, as they occur for example in sleeves or trouser legs to be produced. Especially with these parts, it is important that both located on a piece of clothing sleeves or trouser legs have the same length. If the length scale is arranged on both long edges at one end of the device, then the short side located at this end can be used to measure the previously determined hem allowance or to measure both seams of the sleeves or trouser legs and to iron or mark them accordingly ,

By providing both rows of apertures aligned parallel to a long edge of the device as well as rows of apertures aligned parallel to a short edge of the device, the device can also be used to prepare and manufacture long seams such as lower seams of shirts, dresses, skirts, jackets, coats or the like, as well as for preparing and making short seams, for example on sleeves or trouser legs. This is very advantageous because only one device can be used to produce different lengths of seams. This is particularly convenient and inexpensive.

In a preferred embodiment, the unit of measure of the centimeter is centimeters. Of course, other units of measurement, such as inches, are possible. It is then particularly advantageous to present the linear markings at the integer multiples of one centimeter on the length scale. This allows an operator to measure at a glance how many inches of hem allowance are to be surrounded. It is particularly advantageous if then the linear markings themselves orient not only on the length scale, but also connect a number of breakthroughs at the same time. So it can be measured and also marked at the same time.

More accurate hemming is possible when the device has lattice lines on at least one of its sides defining a defined edge length of a lattice box. Thus, an even more targeted hemming or chunking is possible, in particular, the length of the seam can be determined even more accurately. Particularly preferred is an edge length of a grid box of 5 mm, especially if the unit of measure of the centimeter is centimeters. Even half an inch can be easily and accurately measured by an operator to get accurate narrow seams.

In a preferred embodiment, the device consists of a coated paper on which no moisture can precipitate. For this there are coated special papers, which are painted on both sides and therefore very smooth. These have sufficient strength to hem or transplant a fabric. One advantage is that the steam emerging from a steam iron used in the ironing can not be deposited on the device. When metal or plastic devices are used, the vapor often deposits on the device, and in the case of multiple or longer sizing processes, the device must be wiped off or dried in between. This can be prevented by using special coated paper.

Another inventive idea of the device is to print one or more instruction manuals directly on the device. This is particularly advantageous for an operator since it is not necessary to store an extra operating manual, for example on the outer packaging or a leaflet, and it must be brought out in the application. Rather, the manual is directly on the device arranged and thus always at hand, as soon as the device is used.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the length scale and / or the markings on each of the two sides of the device are designed differently in order to serve for different applications. In this case, at least one operating manual is arranged on each of the two sides, which describes the respective application suitable for this page, so that an operator does not have to constantly turn the device in order to get the relevant application explained. This makes the device even more versatile in use.

Preferably, the imprints of the instruction manual and / or the length scale and / or the marking and / or the grid are resistant to moisture and do not smudge when in contact with moisture or water vapor. Thus, the device remains fully operational even when using a steam iron or, in the event that it comes into contact with moisture. The device can thus also be used well with conventional steam irons and the markings or grid lines, the linear scale or the manual are even after repeated use still legible and the device is fully operational.

the embodiment of Fig. 1 from the other side.

In Fig. 1 a device 10 according to the invention is shown from its one side 15. It can be seen breakthroughs 20 which are arranged in rows 22 of apertures 20, both parallel to the long edges 12 of the device 10 and parallel to the short edges 13 of the device 10. The rows 22 of apertures 20, which are parallel to the two long edges 12 of the device 10 are arranged, each with line-shaped markings 40 are connected. This page 15 of the device 10 is mainly used for hemming and repunching of longer pieces of fabric or the production of longer seams. Furthermore, one recognizes grid lines 42, which form grid boxes 43. It is thus possible to form a seam which not only extends to a marking 40 but is also arranged between two markings 40. The elongated openings 20 lie with their longitudinal extent 21 exactly on the marking 40. According to the invention, they can also be penetrated with a marking pen in order to make a mark on the material or other textile material underneath.

Furthermore, several steps of a user manual 41 or several operating instructions 41 are provided to explain to the user the use of the device 10, for example when hemming a longer substance.

In Fig. 2 the other side 16 of the same device 10 is shown. One recognizes here a length scale 30, which has centimeters as a unit. This length scale 30 is arranged at both long edges 12 of the device 10 at one end 14. The linear markers 40 are arranged at the integer multiples of one centimeter of the length scale 30. In addition, they still connect openings 20 of rows 22 of apertures 20, which run parallel to the short edge 13 of the device 10. Thus, an operator can easily hem or swap shorter parts. However, especially with shorter parts such as sleeves or trouser legs, it is important that both sleeves or trouser legs of a garment have the same length. For this purpose, the use of the length scale 30 advantageous, where in defined measured intervals markings can be made, for example, with a marker pen through the openings 20 or the fabric can be directly lined or transposed. Also on this side 16 of the device 10 grid lines 42 are provided, wherein the edge length 44 of a lattice box 43 here is also 5 mm. The fact that the grid lines 42 are shown as dotted lines, the seams can be made with millimeter precision in this embodiment. The points that form the grid lines 42, namely here each applied at a distance of one mm. Of course this also applies to the in Fig. 1 shown first side 15 of the device 10th

Furthermore, one recognizes an instruction manual 41. However, this describes another application, for example, the production of short hems for trouser legs and sleeves. Thus, the same device 10 can be used for different applications.

Finally, it should be pointed out that the embodiments shown here are merely exemplary realizations of the invention. This is not limited to this. On the contrary, modifications and modifications are possible. Thus, more or fewer rows of openings may be provided. Also, the size of the openings and / or the distances between the openings or the edge lengths of the grid boxes vary. It is also possible to provide more or other operating introductions on the device to represent other applications. The device shown in this embodiment may of course have other dimensions. However, it is important to have a rectangular structure in order to represent the various types of hems safely and accurately.
