Description

2355175 ELASTIC MATERIAL AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURING ELASTIC
MATERIAL TO A FABRIC The invention relates to elastic material and a method and apparatus for securing elastic material to a fabric, particularly, though not exclusively to securing elastic material to a fabric for the manufacture of disposable caps.
Disposable caps are commonly used in food handling industries and in io other applications requiring a sanitary hair enclosure such as in sterile environments. The general structure of these caps comprises a strip of fabric such as spun bonded polypropylene to which two strips of elastic cord are secured under tension along each side. The fabric strip is fastened together at each end to form a cap which is held on a user's head by the elastic cord. The caps are made using apparatus in which the fabric is fed from a roller under longitudinal tension. Elastic cord is held on two reels and is fed under tension along the sides of the fabric and then secured to the fabric by heat sealing, sewing or other suitable means.
The known methods and apparatus for making disposable caps have the disadvantage that the two reels of elastic cord may have variations in tension of the elastic cord, giving variations in tension of the elastic cord as it is secured to the fabric. Additionally, the size of the reels of elastic cord is limited by the inertia of the reels, which introduces further tension into the elastic material. This limits the amount of elastic material that can be used on a particular apparatus. A further operational problem arises in that the reels of elastic material may not run out at the same time, leading to increased stoppage time to replace single reels or wastage of elastic material if both reels are replaced simultaneously.
2 It is an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus of producing caps in which the problems with tension in the supply of elastic material are reduced. It is a further object of the invention to provide an elastic material that is particularly suitable for such a method and apparatus. It is a further object of the invention to provide further methods and apparatus for use of such elastic material.
In a first aspect, the invention provides an apparatus for securing an elastic material to a fabric comprising:
a supply of fabric; a supply of elastic material; a cutter; means to feed the elastic material to the cutter; means to feed the elastic material to the fabric; and means to secure the elastic material to the fabric, wherein the apparatus is constructed and arranged so that as the strip of elastic material is fed to the cutter, the cutter separates the strip lengthwise of the strip into narrower strips of elastic material and the means to feed the elastic material to the fabric feeds the separate narrower strips of the elastic material to the fabric.
It is preferred that the narrower strips of elastic material are of substantially equal width, though in certain applications it may be advantageous for the strips to be of different widths.
Preferably the strip of elastic material comprises at least one pair of narrower, independent, parallel elastic strips, each pair of adjacent narrow strips being joined by a severable weft and the cutter separating the strip of elastic material lengthwise of the strip into the narrower strips of elastic 23 30 material by severing the weft.
3 Advantageously the apparatus may be used for securing elastic material to lengths of fabric, in the waistbands or cuffs of garments or on the legs of disposable nappies, but may be used for any suitable application.
In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides an apparatus for producing a continuous sequence of caps from a longitudinal length of fabric and elastic material, comprising:
a supply of fabric; means to feed the fabric through the apparatus; means to tension the fabric longitudinally; a supply of elastic material; a cutter; means to feed the elastic material to the cutter; means to feed the elastic material to the fabric under tension; and means to secure the elastic material to the fabric, wherein the apparatus is constructed and arranged so that as the strip of elastic material is fed to the cutter, the cutter separates the strip lengthwise of the strip into two narrower strips of elastic material and the means to feed the elastic material to the fabric feeds the two separate narrower strips of the elastic material to the fabric.
Preferably the strip of elastic material comprises two independent parallel elastic strips joined by a severable weft, and the cutter separating the strip of elastic material lengthwise of the strip into two narrower strips of elastic material by severing the weft.
The fabric may be, for example, polypropylene, polyester, paper or any suitable natural or synthetic fabric. The fabric is usually in the form of a 71 30 long strip of fabric mounted on a reel. The fabric is fed through the 4 apparatus under longitudinal tension to ensure that the sides of the fabric strip lie flat on the apparatus for the elastic material to be positioned and secured to the fabric.
The elastic material preferably comprises two independent parallel elastic strips joined by a severable weft but may alternatively comprise a single wide strip of elastic material such as rubber or polyurethane tape that is split lengthwise by the cutter. The cutter for severing the weft may be any suitable cutter, for example a blade, a crush cutter (such as a roller io with a projection that crushes and severs the elastic material), a heat cutter, a hot air cutter, a laser cutter or an ultrasound cutter.
If a hot air cutter is used then the elastic material needs to comprise a severable weft of a material having a sufficiently low melting point to sever at the temperatures achieved by such a cutter.
Preferably the two independent parallel elastic strips are joined by a weft thread. The two independent parallel elastic strips may be of any suitable form of elastic material but advantageously the independent parallel elastic strips each comprise two strips of elastic cords, for example rubber core wrapped in a warp thread, joined by a weft thread, with the two independent parallel elastic strips being joined by a separate, independent weft thread such that when the independent weft thread is severed the weft threads of the separate strips remain intact.
In certain applications it may be advantageous for the two independent parallel elastic strips to be different forms of elastic material but preferably they are the same.
Preferably the apparatus farther comprises an elastic material feed box.
Preferably the elastic material is held within the feed box in a tension free condition. Advantageously the elastic material is fed to the cutter via a slack feed device that serves to draw the elastic material from the feed box without introducing significant tension to the elastic material.
Preferably the elastic material that has been severed into two strips by the cutter is fed through tensioning means such as nip rollers to the fabric.
The elastic material strips are then secured to the fabric by known means io such as heat sealing.
Preferably the fabric is a spun bonded polypropylene and the edges of the fabric are folded over the elastic material and it is then heat sealed to the elastic material strips. Advantageously, where the two independent parallel elastic strips of the elastic material comprise two strips of elastic cords joined by a weft thread the fabric is heat sealed between the weft threads.
The invention further provides a method of producing a continuous sequence of caps from a longitudinal length of fabric and elastic material, comprising the steps of:
feeding a supply of fabric through the apparatus; tensioning the fabric longitudinally; providing a supply of elastic material in the form of a strip; feeding the elastic material strip to the cutter; cutting the strip of elastic material lengthwise of the strip to provide two narrow strips of elastic material; feeding a first narrow strip of the elastic material to one side of the fabric and a second narrow strip of the elastic material to the other side of the fabric under tension; and 6 securing the elastic material to the fabric.
Preferably the elastic material comprises two narrower, independent, parallel elastic strips joined by a severable weft and the severable weft is cut by the cutter.
In a second embodiment, the invention provides a double elastic material comprising two independent parallel elastic strips joined by a severable weft.
Preferably the two independent parallel elastic strips are joined by a weft thread. The two independent parallel elastic strips may be of any suitable form of elastic material but advantaReously the independent parallel elastic strips each comprise two strips of elastic cords, for example rubber core wrapped in a warp thread, joined by a weft thread, with the two independent parallel elastic strips being joined by a separate, independent weft thread such that when the independent weft thread is severed the weft threads of the separate strips remain intact.
In certain applications it may be advantageous for the two independent parallel elastic strips to be different forms of elastic material but preferably they are the same._ In a further embodiment, the invention provides a multi-weft elastic material comprising at least one pair of independent parallel elastic strips, each pair of adjacent strips being joined by a severable weft.
Preferably each pair of independent parallel elastic strips is joined by a weft thread. The pairs of independent parallel elastic strips may be of 02 3o any suitable form of elastic material but advantageously the independent 7 parallel elastic strips each comprise two strips of elastic cords, for example rubber core wrapped in a warp thread, joined by a weft thread, with the pair of independent parallel elastic strips being joined by a separate, independent weft thread such that when the independent weft thread is severed the weft threads of the separate strips remain intact.
The warp threads and the weft threads of the elastic strips may comprise any suitable natural or synthetic material. Preferably warp threads and the weft threads comprise the same material. Advantageously the warp io threads and the weft threads may comprise polyester, polypropylene. Nylon or polyethylene. Advantageously the severable weft comprises a similar material. If the cutter of the apparatus is a heat cutter or hot air cutter, the severable weft advantageously comprises a material having a lower melting point than the warp and weft threads of the elastic strips.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, by reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Figure 1 shows a schematic plan view of an apparatus for producing a continuous sequence of caps from a longitudinal length of fabric and elastic material as known in the prior art;
Figure 2 shows a schematic plan view of an apparatus for producing a continuous sequence of caps from a longitudinal length of fabric and elastic material according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 shows a schematic side view of part of the apparatus of Figure 2 in more detail; Figure 4 shows a plan view of a double elastic material according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of a multi-weft elastic material iD according to an embodiment of the present invention; and 8 Figure 6 shows a schematic perspective view of an apparatus for securing an elastic material to a fabric in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention.
Figure I shows a schematic plan view of an apparatus for producing a continuous sequence of caps from a longitudinal length of fabric and elastic material as known in the prior art. Fabric 1, such as spun bonded polypropylene or polyester, is fed from a reel 2 through the apparatus. The fabric 1 is tensioned longitudinally to hold it flat and to keep the side io edges 3,4 of the fabric flat. Elastic material 5,6 is held on reels 7, 8 and is fed via tensioners 9, 10 to the edges 3,4 of the fabric 1 where it is secured to the fabric I by known means such as heat sealing. The fabric I with the elastic material 5,6 is cut, end sealed and folded by known means indicated by box 11 and a series of finished caps 12 are produced.
In general terms, the invention provides an apparatus for providing and feeding separate split elastic strips from a common feedstock. Figures 2 and 3 show an apparatus according to the invention. As with the prior art, the fabric 1, such as spun bonded polypropylene or polyester, is fed from a reel 2 through the apparatus and is tensioned longitudinally to hold it flat and to keep the side edges 3,4 of the fabric flat.
In contrast to the prior art however, apparatus of the invention provides and feeds separate split elastic strips from a common feedstock. This common feedstock is in the form of a supply of elastic material 20, in strip form, which held in a tension free condition in a feed box 21. The elastic material 20 comprises a double elastic material as shown in Figure 4 and is fed via a counter-rotating roller 22 to a cutter 23. The cutter 23 may be a hot-air cutter, blade, crush cutter, laser cutter ultrasound cutter or other suitable cutter. The cutter 23 cuts a severable weft 40 of the elastic 9 material 20 to provide two strips of elastic material 41,42. The two strips 41,42 are fed through tensioners 24,25 such as nip rollers, to introduce even tension to the two strips 41,42, and are then fed to the edges 3,4 of the fabric 1 where they are heat sealed to the fabric 1. The fabric I with the elastic material 41,42 is cut, end sealed and folded by known means indicated by box 11 and a series of finished caps 12 are produced as in the prior art.
The apparatus of the invention has the advantage that the elastic material lo 20 is held in a feed box 21 without any tension being introduced. In the prior art arrangement, the elastic material 5,6 is wound on the reels 7,8 and a certain degree of tension is inevitably introduced. This tension, furthermore, is unlikely to be even between the two separate reels 7,8. A further problem with having the supply of elastic material on two separate reels 7,8 is that they are likely to run out at different times.
Figure 4 shows an elastic material 20 in accordance with the invention.
The elastic material 20 comprises two independent parallel elastic strips 41,42 joined by a severable weft 40. Each of the strips 41,42 comprises two rubber cores 43,44,45,46 wound with warp threads of polyester.
The pairs of rubber cores 43,44 and 45,46 are joined by weft threads 47,48 respectively, which are also of polyester. These joining weft threads 47,48 are independent of the severable weft 40 such that when the severable weft 40 is cut, the two strips of elastic material 41,42 form two independent supplies of elastic material.
Figure 5 shows a multi-weft elastic material 50 of the same general construction as the double elastic material 20 illustrated in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 5, a plurality of independent strips of elastic material 51,52,53 are formed from two rubber cores 51a,51b,52a,52b,53a,53b.
Each pair of rubber cores 51a,51b,52a,52b,53a,53b is joined by weft threads 51c,52c,53c. A severable weft 54,55 joins adjacent independent strips 51,52 and 52,53.
An example of a multi-weft elastic 50 is shown in Figure 6 for insertion in a waistband 60 of a garment 61. The multi-weft elastic 50 has four independent strips 51,52,53,56, joined by severable wefts 54,55,57. As the elastic material 50 is fed to the garment 61, the severable wefts 54, 55,57 are cut by a cutter (not shown) and the separate elastic strips io 51,52,53,56 are fed into the waistband 60 by known means such as an angled entry spiral folder as described in applicant's UK patent no. 2229199 (not shown). Each individual strip of elastic material 51,52,53, 56 is then sewn in the waistband 60 by stitching 62.
The apparatus, method and elastic materials of the present invention provide many advantages over the prior art. For the manufacture of disposable caps, for example, the supply of elastic material under no initial tension has many advantages such as enabling a specific tension to be introduced with reduced variations. Additionally, by having a single supply of elastic material, the elastic material on each side of the manufactured cap will be of similar quality and tension. Additionally, with only a single supply of elastic material, problems associated with differing tensions between bobbins, inertia of large bobbins and having to change bobbins at different times when the elastic material runs out, are avoided.
The elastic material of the invention has many potential uses for garments and other items with multiple strands of elastic material, such as in waistbands or cuffs and in the legs of disposable nappies.
