However, the hanger and the packaging machine described in Patent Document 1 merely fold back the shirt to the rear side in accordance with the guide portion for folding the hanger. Therefore, according to this, the folded sleeve and torso part may protrude to the side, the folded state will collapse and it will not look good, and it will be folded back manually, so it will take time and effort There was a problem that efficiency did not increase.
On the other hand, since the conventional machine described in Patent Document 2 automates the folding operation of the sleeve and the trunk portion, the folding operation of the sleeve of the shirt can be performed quickly and efficiently. However, in the case of this conventional machine, unlike the conventional machine described in Patent Document 1, the shirt is not wrapped with the shirt on, but the shirt folded through the rectangular hanging frame of the hanger is passed through. It was packaged in a folded state. Therefore, in the case of this conventional machine, it is necessary to attach a shirt to a standing board and fold it vertically, then clamp and pull up both shoulders of the shirt from the standing board and pass the shirt through the hanging frame of the hanger. According to this, it was inevitable that the structure was complicated and the cost increased accordingly.

The present invention has been proposed in view of such problems of the prior art.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that a shirt hanger for three-dimensional packaging of a shirt formed so that the sleeve and the trunk of the shirt can be folded beautifully on the back side, and the shirt is put on the hanger using this hanger. Another object of the present invention is to provide a shirt three-dimensional packaging machine formed so as to be automatically folded at a low cost.

The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention is for three-dimensional packaging of shirts used when packaging a shirt 2 folded back vertically by folding back a sleeve and a trunk portion of a shirt 2 worn on a hanger 1. In the hanger 1, a boundary 1e for folding back to fold the side 1d to the rear side is formed in a vertical line shape at a position spaced inward from the left and right side edges 1c. Both side portions 1d are formed so as to be foldable to the rear side via a folding boundary portion 1e (claim 1).

  In the case of the present invention, the folding boundary portion 1e is realized, for example, by forming the portion of the resin hanger 1 in a thin shape or forming it in a hinge shape with a shaft. The folding boundary portions 1e are not limited to being formed one by one at the left and right positions, and are formed, for example, at two positions in parallel to the left and right positions with an interval d of about several millimeters to 10 mm. The positions may be formed so as to be folded back in two stages.

  Further, as the shirt three-dimensional packaging machine 3 using the shirt three-dimensional packaging hanger 1 according to claim 1, a vertically long rectangular upright plate 4 provided with a hook hooking portion 4a for hooking the hook 1a of the hanger 1 is provided at the upper part. And a folding mechanism 5 that folds the sleeves and trunk portions of the shirt 2 that are hung on the hanger 1 suspended from the upright plate 4 alternately and folded back to the longitudinal direction, and the horizontal width of the upright plate 4 is The hanger 1 is formed to have the same length D from the folding part 1e on one side to the folding part 1e on the other side, and the folding mechanism 5 is arranged upright on both sides of the upright plate 4. The front folding plate 5a and the rear folding plate 5b are formed so as to be folded back to the rear side of the upright plate 4 with the sleeve and the trunk portion of the shirt 2 being sandwiched from the front and rear, and the front folding plate is formed. a is those, wherein the upper end of the side 1d of the hanger 1 are formed to a height of pressing (claim 2).

  Here, the horizontal width of the upright plate 4 is formed to be the same as the length D from the folding boundary portion 1e on one side of the hanger 1 to the folding boundary portion 1e on the other side. When the boundary portion 1e for use is fitted to both side edges of the upright plate 4 and the sleeve and the trunk portion of the shirt 2 are folded back along the both side edges of the upright plate 4, both side portions 1d of the hanger 1 are also separated from the boundary portion 1e. It means that it will be folded back. The front folded plate 5a and the rear folded plate 5b are usually rotated by a cylinder, a motor, or the like disposed under the upright plate 4.

Further, in the packaging machine 3 of the present invention, it is preferable that the front folding plate 5a is formed to slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the rear folding plate 5b so as to be able to contact and separate.
This is because, according to this, when the shirt 2 is put on the hanger 1 or the packaged shirt 2 is discharged together with the hanger 1, these operations can be facilitated and smoothed.

The packaging machine 3 of the present invention according to claim 2 or 3 is provided with a discharge mechanism 12 that pulls up the packaged shirt 2 together with the hanger 1 and removes it from the hooking portion 4a of the upright plate 4 and discharges it. (Claim 4).
This is because the work can be speeded up and made efficient, and the efficiency of the packaging work can be increased.

Since the hanger of this invention is comprised in this way, both sides are folded back from the boundary part for folding together with the shoulder part of the sleeve of a shirt. Therefore, according to this, the sleeves are surely placed inward, the sleeves etc. can be prevented from protruding from the side of the folded shirt, and the shoulder of the folded shirt creates a sense of volume and clean washing Can provide packaged products.

As shown in the figure, the operating cylinder 8 is disposed below the upright plate 4 so that the rods intersect with each other, and a rack 9 (see FIG. 12) connected to the tip of the rod is engaged with the pinion 10 to expand and contract the rod. The pinion 10 is rotated by the operation, and the pair of front and rear folded plates 5a and 5b connected to the shaft of the pinion 10 are rotated between the left and right positions and the rear position of the upright plate 4.

  Further, the packaging machine 3 of the present invention has a discharge mechanism 12 (see FIGS. 2, 3 and the like) that lifts and discharges the shirt 2 packaged by the packaging mechanism 11 (see FIG. 3 and the like) together with the hanger 1 from the hook hanging portion 4a. It is formed with. The discharge mechanism 12 includes a hook-like hooking member 12a inserted into the hook 1a of the hanger 1, a rodless cylinder 12b for moving the hooking member 12a up and down, and the hanger 1 pulled up by the rodless cylinder 12b. And an inclined bar member 12c for sliding and discharging the hook 1a at the rear of the apparatus.

  The hook member 12a has a tip that is slightly inclined from the horizontal and is inclined, and after being lifted by the rodless cylinder 12b, a downward projection 13 having an inverted triangular shape provided on the upper portion of the frame 15 (see FIG. 4). When a predetermined portion is engaged with the side edge, the tip is formed to turn slightly downward (clockwise in the drawing) around the pivot shaft 14 (see FIG. 14). The rodless cylinder 12b is provided perpendicular to the frame 15, and the hook member 12a is attached to a mount 12b1 (see FIG. 13) that moves up and down the rodless cylinder 12b. Further, the rod member 12c is provided in a downward gradient from the upper end portion of the rodless cylinder 12b toward the rear of the apparatus. Therefore, when the tip of the hooking member 12a is tilted downward by the protrusion 13, the hanger 1 raised by the action of the rodless cylinder 12b is detached from the hooking member 12a and transferred to the bar member 12c. It is transmitted and slides down and is discharged.

  Reference numeral 16 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, etc.) denotes a belt conveyor for smoothly feeding the wrapped shirt 2 backward in cooperation with the bar member 12c. The belt conveyor 16 is provided on the upper rear part of the upright plate 4 with the rear end inclined upward, and the upper surface of the belt conveyor 16 is rotated rearward by driving a motor 17 (see FIG. 5). . The lower part of the shirt 2 is placed on the upper surface of the conveyor 16 and sent backward when the hanger 1 slides down through the bar member 12c.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.
First, the worker puts the shirt 2 on the hanger 1, stops the button at the neck, and then hangs the hanger 1 on the hook hanging portion 4 a of the upright plate 4. At this time, the front folded plate 5a is arranged forward so that the hanger 1 can be easily hooked. Next, when the operator turns on the switch, the rod of the air cylinder 7 contracts so that the front folding plate 5a approaches the rear folding plate 5b, and the shirt 2 is placed between the pair of front and rear folding plates 5a and 5b. The sleeve and torso are sandwiched. In this state, the rod of each working cylinder 8 extends in the order of the working cylinder 8 on one side and then the working cylinder 8 on the other side. As a result, the pair of front and rear folding plates 5a and 5b and the sleeve pressing plate 5c are sequentially rotated to the rear side of the upright plate 4, and the sleeve and the trunk portion of the shirt 2 are folded.

  In this case, in the present invention, both side portions 1d of the hanger 1 are folded back together with the shirt 2 via the folding boundary portion 1e by the upper end portion of the front folding plate 5a. In this embodiment, as described above, since the two boundary portions 1e for folding are formed in a pair parallel to the left and right positions, both side portions 1d of the hanger 1 are arranged in the order of the inner and outer boundary portions 1e, respectively. It is folded back in two stages. Further, the sleeve folded back to the rear side of the upright plate 4 is pressed by the sleeve pressing plate 5c so as not to be separated.

  Next, the cylinder device 6 is driven, and the upright plate 4 slides backward together with the pair of front and rear folded plates 5a, 5b, etc., and is placed at the packaging position C (see FIG. 9). At this position, the shirt 2 is covered with a cylindrical resin bag 11a (see FIG. 3) pulled down from above, and the upper part is welded and closed with the hook 1a exposed from the resin bag 11a. Is done. Thereafter, the cylinder device 6 is driven and the upright plate 4 is slid forward, and the wrapped shirt 2 is placed at the discharge position B below the rodless cylinder 12b. At this time, the mount 12b1 of the rodless cylinder 12b is disposed at the lowered position. Therefore, the tip of the hooking member 12a attached to the mount 12b1 is inserted into the hook 1a of the hanger 1 hooked on the hook hooking portion 4a of the rising plate 4 that has advanced. When the sensor detects this, the mount 12b1 rises and the hanger 1 is pulled up. When a predetermined portion of the hooking member 12a engages with the side edge of the protrusion 13, the tip of the hooking member 12a gradually turns downward about the pivot shaft 14 and is pushed down. As a result, the hook 1a of the hanger 1 is detached from the hooking member 12a and transferred to the bar member 12c, and the hanger 1 is guided by the bar member 12c and slides down. At this time, the lower portion of the shirt 2 is placed on the belt conveyor 16 and sent backward, and the shirt 2 is smoothly discharged rearward while inclining.

  In the above process, the hanger 1 of the present invention may have the folding-back boundary 1e formed at the left and right positions one by one. However, when it is formed in two places as in the above example, it can be folded back in two stages, so that there is a margin in the folding position, and the side portion 1d can be folded back smoothly and easily.

  Further, the packaging machine 3 of the present invention replaces the front folding plate 5a with the air cylinder 7 in the forward / backward direction, for example, when the shirt 2 is worn, the upper end is tilted outward and the inner side after wearing. It may be formed so as to be tiltable in the left-right direction so that it can be pulled up and placed in an upright shape.
