Description

Machine for folding clothes.

Description of the invention

The object of the present invention as it is expressed in the statement of this specification consists of a "Machine for folding clothes", of the type used specifically for the folding of sleeves of all kinds of garments

To date, there are different machines in the market that perform the function of folding of sleeves on the Jersey body or similar.

This folding of the sleeves is done in the phase of the process prior to stacking or once stacked.

One type of machines that perform this function is described by patent No. 200100011 "Device for bending of garments made in industrial lines of manufacturing ", where the garment, after going through different stages, reaches the folding area where some platforms extreme pivoters fall consecutively depositing the sleeves on the body of the garment.

Other type of machines for folding clothes existing in the market have two platforms adjacent to the central stacker as well as a central treadmill of the body of the garment, folding by sliding of the platforms on the stacking device.

On these platforms the sleeves are arranged, which once the platform slides towards the body of the garment, are deposited on it, making the trader the function of stop of twist of the sleeves and retainer of the garment of wear.

The main problem presented by this type of machines is that the displacement of the platforms that fold the sleeves is parallel to the stacker resulting in a folded Straight of the sleeves with respect to the jersey.

However, on most occasions the folded sleeves over the body of the garment should not be straight, so this machine is limited to garments that present said straight bending.

For all this, a new development has been developed machine for folding clothes that allows modifying the angulation of the folded with respect to the body of the garment.

Basically the new folding machine of garments is constituted by the conjunction of two mechanisms independent: a trampler and a bender-stacker.

The treadmill consists of a spindle whose thread is split in two, with a half turn to the right and the another half turn to the left, fixed by its extremities to two pistons that have a vertical displacement.

These spindles run through these spindles, arranged on a stacker and that have the function of pressing and retain garments deposited on it.

The double-stacker is constituted by two platforms, the superior that has the function of bender and is equipped with a horizontal movement by action of an engine and serves to collect the garment that the machine delivers ironing The bottom platform is the stacker and has a horizontal movement in solidarity with the previous one and a movement vertical to allow the accumulation of garments, whose movement It is propitiated by another appropriate engine.

On both sides of the bender, the new machine It has a support on which two plates move with linear and rotating movement as appropriate. These plates are sufficiently spaced to allow the body part of the garment is deposited directly on the stacker.

Likewise, in the set of traders, parallel to the spindle is provided a guide that fixes connecting rods connected to its Time to the footsteps.

This guide has a slight movement forward and recoil with respect to the spindle promoted by two spindles arranged at both ends.

This original provision will allow adaptation from the stacker to the inclination of the bending of the sleeve of the garment.

It should be noted that said piston movements, treadmills and augers are governed by a processor central.

In essence, the operation of the novel Clothes folding machine is as follows:

Initially the machine must be set to Function of the garment to fold: tread angle, separation thereof, and the opening and closing of the plates of the Bender.

Once this adjustment has been made, the Central processor changes.

At the moment the garment of the ribbon arrives the machine, by means of the horizontal movement of the whole bender and stacker, is deposited on the upper platform, then the treadmills descend and then move or rotate the folding plates, depending on the fold desired, depositing the sleeves over the body of the garment and remaining all deposited on the stacker that moves again  horizontal to wait for a next garment and repeat the operation.

The novel garment allows a non-straight bending of the sleeves, incorporating a side plates with abatement radial over the garment.

Description of the drawings

In order to illustrate how much so far we have exposed, it is accompanied by the present specification, forming an integral part of it, a sheet of drawings on the that has been represented in a simplified and schematic way a exemplary and non-limiting embodiment of the practical possibilities of the invention.

In said drawings, Figure 1 corresponds to a view where different constituent parts of the Novel machine for folding clothes.

Figure 2 corresponds to an isometric view partial where the pistons of the tracer and the spindle

Figure 3 corresponds to three views where appreciate the movement caused by the cranks on the treadmills to their convergence or divergence in order to adapt to fold caused by the plates on the sleeves of the garment.

Description of a case study

The novel machine for folding clothes is conforms from two independent mechanisms, a set treadmill (3) composed of two units and one unit bender-stacker.

The treadmill consists of a spindle (1) whose thread is split in two, with a half turn to the right and the other half turn to the left, fixed by its extremities to two pistons (2) that have a vertical displacement.

By said spindle (1) run two traders (3), arranged on the unit stacker stacker-bender and that have the function of press and hold the garments deposited on it.

The double-stacker is constituted by two platforms, one superior, not illustrated, that It has the function of folding clothes and is equipped with a horizontal movement by action of an engine.

The lower platform (4) is the stacker proper and has a horizontal movement in solidarity with the anterior and a vertical movement to allow the accumulation of garments promoted by an independent engine.

On both sides of the stacker (4), the novel machine has a support (5) movable horizontally by a lower guide (11) on which two plates (7) move with linear and rotating movement on the stacker platform.

Also, parallel to the spindle with split thread (1) there is a guide (8) that fixes connecting rods (9) connected to turn to the traders (3).

This guide (8) presents a slight movement of forward and reverse on the stacker promoted by two spindles (10) arranged on both extremities.

This original provision will allow adaptation from the stacker to the inclination of the bending of the sleeve of the garment.

Established the expressed concept, it is written to then the note of claims, thus synthesizing the news that you want to claim.

Claims (4)

Machine for folding clothes, of the type used specifically for the folding of sleeves of all types of garments, consisting of two independent mechanisms, a tread set (3) consisting of two tread units and a bending-stacking unit , characterized essentially because on both sides of the stacker of the bending-stacking unit, the novel machine has two supports (5) on which two plates (7) equipped with a linear and rotating movement move. 2. Machine for folding clothes, according to the preceding claim, characterized in that parallel to the spindle (1) there is a guide (8) that fixes two connecting rods (9) connected in turn to the treadmills (3), presented this guide ( 8) a slight forward or reverse movement on the stacker promoted by two displacement mechanisms arranged in both extremities. 3. Machine for folding clothes, according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the displacement mechanism is formed by a spindle (10). 4.
