Description

The present invention relates to a crease processing device used to sustain creases in slacks (including those called trousers, pants, etc.) for a long period of time.

An example of such a crease processing apparatus is shown in Patent Document 1. This crease processing device (clothing support base 10 (Fig. 2), 30 (Fig. 5)) has a work table (support rods 13, 34) extending substantially horizontally, and creases are formed in advance by press working. Fold the slacks upside down and place them so that the folds of the slacks are aligned with the bottom apex (valley 15) of the V-grooves (grooves 14, 38, 51) formed on the upper surface of the work table. Applying the fixing agent from the nozzle (coating rod 3) to the crease while pressing and moving the cartridge containing the eye fixing agent (applicant 1, also disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 7) along the crease. It is processed as a sustainable crease for a long period of time.

The rotating body 5 provided on the cartridge serves to guide the nozzle so as not to come off from the crease (valley portion 15 of the V groove) when the crease fixing agent is applied along the crease. Further, in the crease processing apparatus described in FIGS. 5 and 6 of Patent Document 1, intake holes 39a and 39b are formed on the inner surface of the V groove 38 of the work table (support rod 34), and the suction pump 41 is provided. By sucking air from the intake hole using the slacks, the folds of the slacks set on the work table can be held so as not to deviate from the apex of the bottom of the V-groove.

However, in the case of slacks, since creases are formed in the front center and the back center of both feet, it is necessary to apply the above-mentioned crease fixing agent to a total of four folds for one slack. Since the crease processing device described in the above has only one work table, in order to complete the crease processing for one slacks, a series of operations of setting the crease processing on the work table and performing the crease processing is performed four times. It has to be repeated, and the work efficiency is poor. It is easy to install two work tables in parallel and change to work for both feet at once, but even in this case, work the slacks once after performing the crease processing work in the center of the front side of both feet. It is necessary to remove it from the table, turn it over, and then set it on the work table again to perform the crease processing work, which is troublesome.

Even if the crease processing work is performed using a device as described in Reference 1, the slacks are set on the work table, the crease fixing agent is applied from the cartridge along the crease, and then the crease processing work is completed from the work table. The work of removing the slacks has to rely on human hands, and considering that the workers are not necessarily skilled, it is desirable to simplify or simplify the processes that require manual work as much as possible.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an improved crease processing device for improving work efficiency.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention according to claim 1 is centered on a base installed on the floor surface of a work place, a post rising from the base to a predetermined height, and a rotation axis substantially horizontal near the upper end of the post. A rotary workbench including a rotary mechanism portion rotatably provided as a base, a pair of tables fixed on both sides of the rotary mechanism portion and extending substantially horizontally by a predetermined length, and a vacuum pump installed on a base or a post. The table comprises a vacuum mechanism including a vacuum pipe connected between the intake port of the vacuum pump and the internal space of the rotation mechanism, and the table is centered on the origin position and the rotation axis. Taking the inverted position when rotated 180 degrees together with the rotating mechanism portion, each table is a surface that becomes an upper and lower surface at the origin position and the inverted position, and has an intake hole in the center of the width of each surface over substantially the entire length. It is characterized by having a first surface and a second surface on which a V-groove is formed, and a partition plate that vertically divides the internal space into a first internal space and a second internal space.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the crease processing apparatus according to the first aspect, the internal space of the rotating mechanism portion is divided into a first internal space and a second internal space in the vertical direction by a partition plate, and the rotating mechanism. The first internal space of the unit communicates only with the first internal space of each table, the second internal space of the rotation mechanism unit communicates only with the second internal space of each table, and the vacuum mechanism unit communicates with the vacuum pump. The first vacuum path including the first vacuum pipe connected between the intake port and the first internal space of the rotation mechanism part is connected between the intake port of the vacuum pump and the second internal space of the rotation mechanism part. It is characterized in that it consists of a second vacuum path including a second vacuum pipe.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the crease processing apparatus according to the first aspect, a first shutter is provided at an opening that allows air between the first internal space of each table and the internal space of the rotation mechanism portion, and each of them. A second shutter is provided in the opening that communicates between the second internal space of the table and the internal space of the rotating mechanism, and the first shutter automatically opens at the origin position to communicate with the internal space of the rotating mechanism. Although it is permissible, the second shutter is automatically closed to prevent communication with the internal space of the rotating mechanism portion.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in the crease processing apparatus according to the third aspect, weights are attached to the first shutter and the second shutter, respectively, and the weight of the weights automatically determines the origin position and the inverted position. It is characterized in that the open / closed state is controlled so as to be different.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the crease processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the rotation mechanism unit rotates 180 degrees in one direction from the origin position to the inversion position and from the inversion position to the origin position. It is characterized in that forward / reverse rotation is controlled by rotating 180 degrees in the reverse reverse direction.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the pair of tables are rotated between the origin position and the inverted position by the rotation mechanism. Therefore, by rotating the pair of tables with both feet of the slacks in the inverted state inserted. , The work of applying the crease fixing agent to the creases before and after the slacks can be efficiently performed. That is, when the vacuum pump is driven at the origin position, air is sucked from the intake hole of the V groove on the first surface of each table through the first internal space, the internal space of the rotation mechanism, and the vacuum pipe. When the slacks cloth surface (for example, the front side) covered on the first surface of each table is positioned in close contact with the V groove side surface of the first surface and the vacuum pump is driven in the inverted position, the V of the second surface of each table is used. Air is sucked from the intake hole of the groove through the second internal space, the internal space of the rotation mechanism, and the vacuum pipe, so that the slacks fabric surface (for example, the rear side) covered on the second surface of each table is the second surface. It can be positioned in close contact with the side surface of the V-groove. The work on one slacks can be completed by a series of operations of applying the crease fixing agent to the front and rear creases of the slacks positioned at the origin position and the inverted position, respectively.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, one suitable embodiment for the crease processing apparatus is provided. In the crease processing apparatus according to this embodiment, the vacuum path by the vacuum pump is configured as a separate path completely divided between the origin position and the inversion position, so that the slacks can be reliably positioned at each position.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, another suitable embodiment for the crease processing apparatus is provided. In the crease processing device according to this embodiment, since the vacuum path by the vacuum pump is configured as a single path, it is possible to contribute to the simplification of the vacuum mechanism and the miniaturization of the device. Further, since the entire internal space without the partition plate of the rotation mechanism portion can be used as the intake chamber, the positioning of the slacks by vacuum can be performed more effectively.

According to the present invention according to claim 4, the first internal space and the second internal space of each table are provided in each opening through which the internal space of the rotation mechanism portion is ventilated while using a single vacuum path. By automatically opening and closing the shutter and the second shutter by gravity, the vacuum path at the origin position and the vacuum path at the inverted position are mechanically separated and controlled, so electrical and electronic shutter opening and closing control is required. Do not.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the rotation mechanism portion is rotated 180 degrees forward and reverse between the origin position and the reverse position, it is not necessary to give an excessive margin to the length of the vacuum pipe, and the apparatus configuration Contributes to the simplification of.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

The crease processing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment (Example 1) of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The crease processing device 10 includes a base 11 formed in a substantially T-shape in a plan view by the front extension portion 11a and the rear wide portion 11b, and a post 12 rising from the rear wide portion 11b of the base 11 to a predetermined height. It has a rotating workbench 13 provided with a pair of tables 25, 26 extending substantially horizontally from near the upper end of the post 12 toward the front of the base 11 by a predetermined length. In this crease processing device 10, fixed legs 14 are attached to both ends in the length direction, both ends in the width direction, and the center of the back surface of the base 11, but instead of the wheels, the crease processing device 10 is manually used. It may be configured so that it can be pushed and moved to any place.

The crease processing device 10 further has a vacuum mechanism portion 15 installed on a mounting base 28 on the rear wide portion 11b of the base 11. The vacuum mechanism unit 15 is connected to a pump branch chamber 16 (not shown) connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) having an ability to suck air with a predetermined suction force, and a pair of intake ports of the branch chamber 16 via joints 17 and 18. It has vacuum valves 19 and 20, which are connected to each other and can be opened and closed. One ends of the vacuum pipes 21 and 22 (indicated by the dotted line) are connected to the vacuum valves 19 and 20, respectively, and the other ends of the vacuum pipes 21 and 22 are rotation mechanism portions provided at the base end portion of the rotary work table 13. I am aware of the internal space 24 of 23 (details below).

The rotating work table 13 has a rotating mechanism portion 23 having an internal space 24 (241,242) and two tables 25 and 26. The tables 25 and 26 are extended in parallel with an appropriate interval between them via a fixing bracket 27 having a substantially U-shaped cross section which is fixed in contact with the outer surface of the rotation mechanism portion 23. , It is fixed to both sides of the rotation mechanism portion 23. The rotation mechanism unit 23 can be rotated forward and reverse by a motor. More specifically, the rotation mechanism unit 23 is rotated 180 degrees clockwise from the position (origin position) of FIG. 3 by a switch operation by an operator to take an inverted position, and further, this It is controlled to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise from the inverted position and return to the origin position (motors, switches and control devices are not shown). The vacuum pipes 21 and 22 are long enough to allow the tables 25 and 26 to reciprocate between the origin position and the reversal position. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 29 is a bearing case mounted on the motor output shaft, and the rotation mechanism unit 23 is integrated with the tables 25 and 26 fixed to the bearing case and housed in the bearing case 29 (FIG. 5). (Not shown) causes forward and reverse rotation between the origin position and the inverted position.

As described above, the internal space 24 of the rotation mechanism unit 23 is open to the vacuum pipes 21 and 22, and more specifically, the vacuum ducts 30 and 31 fixed to both ends of the rotation mechanism unit 23 in the vertical direction are vacuumed, respectively. Pipes 21 and 22 are connected. Further, a partition plate 32 for dividing the internal space 24 of the rotation mechanism unit 23 into two in the vertical direction is provided, whereby the internal space 24 is divided into a first internal space 241 and a second internal space 242, and a vacuum pipe is provided. 21 communicates only with the first internal space 241 via the vacuum duct 30, and the vacuum pipe 22 communicates only with the second internal space 242 via the vacuum duct 31.

The tables 25 and 26 have substantially the same configuration, shape, and dimensions, and each is formed vertically symmetrically. Regarding the table 25, both the first surface 33 and the second surface 34 are substantially horizontal smooth surfaces, and V-grooves 35 and 36 are formed in the center in the width direction thereof, respectively, and the side surfaces thereof have a substantially length. A large number of intake holes 37 are formed in all directions. The internal space of the table 25 is also vertically divided into a first internal space 39 and a second internal space 40 by a partition plate 38, and the first internal space 39 communicates only with the first internal space 241 of the rotation mechanism portion 23. The second internal space 40 communicates only with the second internal space 242 of the rotation mechanism unit 23. Similarly, the table 26 has a first surface 41, a second surface 42, V grooves 43, 44, an intake hole 45, a partition plate 46, a first internal space 47, and a second internal space 48.

The operation or usage of the crease processing apparatus 10 having the above configuration will be described. The crease processing device 10 at the origin position shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is installed at an appropriate position, the slacks having creases formed by press working in advance are turned inside out, and a pair of tables 25 and 26 are inserted into both feet. And set. At this time, the front side of the slacks may be turned up or the back side may be turned up, but here, the slacks are first set on the tables 25 and 26 of the crease processing device 10 at the origin position with the front side facing up. It is explained as. Therefore, the left foot portion of the inverted slacks is set on the table 25 with the front side facing up, and the right foot portion is set on the table 26 with the front side facing up.

After setting by hand adjusting so that the crease on the front side of the slacks already formed by press working extends along the center of the groove width of the V grooves 35 and 43 of the tables 25 and 26, the switch by the operator ( The vacuum pump (not shown) is turned on and only the vacuum valve 19 is turned on by the operation (not shown). As a result, the air in the first internal spaces 39 and 47 of the tables 25 and 26 is sucked through the first internal space 241, the vacuum duct 30 and the vacuum pipe 21 of the rotation mechanism unit 23. The fabric on the front side of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 25 and 26 is in close contact with the side surfaces of the V grooves 35 and 43 by the intake air from the intake holes 37 and 45, and the crease on the front side of both feet of the slacks is the V groove 35. , 43 are positioned to extend along the groove bottom apex.

While continuing the operation of the vacuum pump (not shown) and maintaining the above-mentioned positioning state, the crease fixing agent is applied along the creases of the slacks. As the crease fixing agent, for example, a curable silicone rubber compound, a curable polyurethane compound, or the like is used. The work of applying the fold fixative may be performed using a cartridge or a coating device according to a prior art as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 7, but FIGS. 6 to 6 newly developed by the present inventors may be used. It can be done more efficiently by using the applicator 50 of 8.

The applicator 50 is a crease fixing agent cartridge (see Patent Documents 1 to 7) configured so that the crease fixing agent contained therein can be ejected from a nozzle at the tip by air pressure and applied along the crease. ) Are held in parallel on both sides of the handle 53 at intervals. The handle 53 is composed of a base plate 54 and a substantially U-shaped handle 55 fixed at both ends in the length direction at the center in the width direction of the base plate 54 by bolts or adhesives, and the applicator holds the handle 55 by hand. 50 can be moved in the vertical direction of FIG. 7.

The holder 51 forms a cartridge insertion space 57 having a predetermined inner diameter (for example, 31.6 mm) by connecting half-split pipes having a predetermined length such as SUS with a hinge 56. In the holder 51, fins (skaters) 58 having a pointed tip are formed so as to project straight downward, and a pair of connecting arms 59 and 59 are formed so as to extend horizontally to the sides. Each connecting arm 59 is formed with an elongated hole 61 through which the shaft of the bolt 60 can be inserted.

Similarly, in the holder 52, a half-split pipe of a predetermined length made of SUS or the like is connected by a hinge 62 to form a cartridge insertion space 63 having a predetermined inner diameter (for example, 31.6 mm), and a fin (skater) having a sharp tip is formed. ) 64 is formed so as to project straight downward, a pair of connecting arms 65, 65 are formed so as to extend horizontally to the sides, and each connecting arm 65 is formed with an elongated hole 67 through which the shaft of the bolt 66 can be inserted. ing.

At both ends of the base plate 54, fixing plates 68, 68 in which round holes (not shown) through which the shafts of the bolts 60 and 66 can be inserted are formed at predetermined positions by bolts (not shown) or the like hang down. The holders 51 and 52 are fixed, and the connecting arms 59 and 65 of the holders 51 and 52 are placed on the fixing plates 68 and 68 and fixed with the bolts 60 and 66 and the nuts 69 and 69. Are connected in parallel on both sides of the handle 53 at intervals. In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing plate 68 is arranged on the innermost side, and the connecting arm 65 of the holder 52 and the connecting arm 59 of the holder 51 are sequentially overlapped on the outer side thereof. You may.

As described above, the connecting arms 59 and 65 of the holders 51 and 52 have elongated holes 61 and 67, and the shaft of the bolt 60 sequentially inserts the elongated hole 61 of the connecting arm 59 and the round hole of the fixing plate 68. Then, it is fixed by a nut 69 inside the fixing plate 68, and the shaft of the bolt 66 is inserted through the elongated hole 67 of the connecting arm 65 of the holder 52 and the round hole of the fixing plate 68 in order, and the nut is inserted inside the fixing plate 68. It is fixed by tightening 69. That is, by changing the insertion position of the bolts 60 and 66 within the range of the elongated holes 61 and 67, the distance between the holders 51 and 52 and the handle 53 can be adjusted, and therefore, between the fins 58 and 64. The interval Wa (FIG. 6) can be freely adjusted within the range determined by the lengths of the elongated holes 61 and 67.

In FIG. 8, the applicator 50 holds the handles 53 and presses the fins 58 and 64 against the folds in a state where the holders 51 and 52 contain the cartridges (not shown) containing the crease fixing agents, respectively. While moving to the right, push out the crease fixative from the nozzle of the cartridge and apply it to the crease. Although not shown, an arcuate notch is formed at the rear corner of the fins 58 and 64 in the moving direction, and by engaging the nozzle of the cartridge with this notch, the nozzle is engaged with the fins 58 and 64. It maintains an aligned positional relationship without rotating with respect to the crease, and therefore does not shift along the crease.

Applying the crease fixative using the applicator 50 having the above configuration in the crease processing operation performed by the crease processing device 10 provides some advantages. First, since a single applicator 50 can be used to apply the crease fixing agent to both feet at the same time for the creases on the front side of the slacks set on the two tables 25 and 26 of the crease processing device 10. , Workability is improved.

In addition, by matching the distance Wa between the fins 58 and 64 in the applicator 50 with the distance Wb between the groove bottom vertices of the table V grooves 35 and 43 in the crease processing apparatus 10 (FIG. 4), the applicator 50 When the handle 55 located at the center in the substantially width direction is held and pressed downward, the tips of the fins 58 and 64 will vertically enter the creases of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 25 and 26. There is an advantage that the crease fixing agent can be reliably applied without shifting along the crease. When using a single cartridge with only one fin, as seen in the prior art, some unskilled workers do not allow the fins to go straight and vertically toward the bottom apex of the V-groove. The application of the crease fixing agent may deviate from the crease because it may enter diagonally, but the defect can be eliminated by working with the applicator 50 for two of them.

Further, the applicator 50 of FIGS. 6 to 8 is provided with the width adjusting mechanism as described above, whereby Wa = Wb can always be secured. Therefore, even in the various crease processing devices 10, the spacing Wa is set so that the spacing Wa between the fins 58 and 64 in the applicator 50 matches the spacing Wb between the groove bottom vertices of the table V grooves 35 and 43. By adjusting, it is possible to provide versatility that can be used for the crease processing apparatus 10 having various intervals Wb.

In this way, after finishing the work of applying the crease fixing agent to the creases on the front side of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 25 and 26 of the crease processing device 10 in the inverted state at the origin position, the slacks are set. The vacuum pump (not shown) is turned off by the operator's switch (not shown) operation, and the entire rotation mechanism unit 23 is turned clockwise (FIG. 3, 3) by another switch (not shown) operation. Rotate 180 degrees (in FIG. 5) to move the crease processing device 10 to the inverted position. Each part at the inverted position is point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the bearing case 29 with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5, and the second surfaces 34 and 42 having the V grooves 36 and 44 of the tables 25 and 26 are on the upper side.

At this reversing position, the vacuum pump (not shown) is turned on and only the vacuum valve 20 is turned on by operating a switch (not shown) by the operator. As a result, the air in the second internal spaces 40 and 48 of the tables 25 and 26 is sucked through the second internal space 242 of the rotation mechanism unit 23, the vacuum duct 31 and the vacuum pipe 22, so that the tables 25 and 26 are sucked. The fabric on the back side of both feet of the set slacks adheres to the side surface of the V grooves 36 and 44 by the intake air from the intake holes of the V grooves 36 and 44, and the creases on the back sides of both feet of the slacks are the V grooves 36 and 44. Positioned to extend along the groove bottom apex of.

The subsequent work procedure is the same as the work procedure at the origin position described above, whereby the folds on the back side of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 25 and 26 of the crease processing device 10 in the inverted state at the inverted position. Since the work of applying the crease fixing agent to the eyes is completed and the work of applying the crease fixing agent for one slacks is completed, the slacks are pulled out from the tables 25 and 26 and turned over.

The crease processing apparatus 70 according to one embodiment (Example 2) of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13. The major difference between the crease processing device 70 and the crease processing device 10 of the first embodiment is that the crease processing device 10 of the first embodiment tables the folds on one side of the slacks (the front side in the description of the first embodiment). Vacuum path for positioning along the groove bottom apex of V-grooves 35 and 43 of 25 and 26 (vacuum valve 19, vacuum pipe 21, first air chamber 241 of rotation mechanism 23, first of tables 25 and 26). Vacuum for positioning the creases of the internal spaces 39, 47, etc.) and the other side of the slacks (rear side in the description of the first embodiment) along the groove bottom apex of the V grooves 36, 44 of the tables 25, 26. A path (vacuum valve 20, vacuum pipe 22, second internal space 242 of the rotating mechanism 23, second internal space 40, 48 of the tables 25, 26, etc.) is formed as a separate path, and one of the vacuum valves 19 and 20 is formed. Is configured to be switched and controlled by opening and closing the other, whereas in the crease processing device 70 of this embodiment, the vacuum pump 75 to the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 are simply squeezed. As one vacuum path, one of the first internal spaces 92 and 104 and the second internal spaces 93 and 105 in the tables 81 and 82 selectively rotates when rotated between the origin position and the inverted position. A shutter mechanism that automatically opens and closes so as to communicate with the internal space 80 of the mechanism unit 79 is adopted. It will be described in detail below.

It may be configured so that it can be pushed and moved to any place.

The crease processing device 70 further has a vacuum pump 75 installed in the rear wide portion 71b of the base 71. The vacuum pump 75 has an ability to suck air with a predetermined suction force, and has an intake port 77 to which one end of a vacuum pipe 76 is connected, and an exhaust port 78 for discharging the sucked air. The other end of the vacuum pipe 76 communicates with the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 provided at the base end portion of the rotation work table 73 via the vacuum duct 110 (details below).

The rotating work table 73 has a rotating mechanism portion 79 having a single internal space 80, and two tables 81 and 82. The tables 81 and 82 are extended in parallel with an appropriate interval between them via a fixing bracket 83 having a substantially U-shaped cross section which is fixed in contact with the outer surface of the rotation mechanism portion 79. , It is fixed to both sides of the rotation mechanism portion 79. The rotation mechanism portion 79 can rotate forward and reverse around the rotation shaft 84 (FIG. 11) by a motor. More specifically, the rotation mechanism unit 79 rotates 180 degrees clockwise from the position (origin position) of FIG. 11 by a switch operation by an operator. Then, it takes an inverted position, and is further controlled to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise from this inverted position and return to the origin position (motors, switches, and control devices are not shown). The vacuum pipe 76 has a length sufficient to allow the tables 81 and 82 to reciprocate between the origin position and the inverted position. In FIG. 13, reference numeral 85 is a bearing case mounted on the motor output shaft, and the rotation mechanism portion 79 is integrated with the tables 81 and 82 fixed to the bearing case and housed in the bearing case 85 (shown). The bearing rotates forward and reverse between the origin position and the reverse position.

The tables 81 and 82 have substantially the same configuration, shape, and dimensions, and each is formed vertically symmetrically. Regarding the table 81, both the first surface 86 and the second surface 87 are substantially horizontal smooth surfaces, and V-grooves 88 and 89 are formed in the center in the width direction thereof, respectively, and the side surfaces thereof have a substantially length. A large number of intake holes 90 are formed in all directions. The internal space of the table 81 is vertically divided into a first internal space 92 and a second internal space 93 by a partition plate 91, and the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 and the first internal space 92 of the table 81 are communicated with each other. A shutter 95 having a weight 94 near the open end is provided in the opening, and a weight is provided near the open end in the opening that allows the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 and the second internal space 93 of the table 81 to pass through. A shutter 97 having 96 is provided. As a result, as will be described later, the shutter 95 of the internal space (first internal space 92 in FIG. 13) located above at each of the origin position and the inverted position is automatically opened by the weight of the weight 94. Therefore, the shutter 97 of the lower internal space (second internal space 93 in FIG. 13) is automatically closed. Similarly, the table 82 has a first surface 98, a second surface 99, V grooves 100, 101, an intake hole 102, a partition plate 103, a first internal space 104, a second internal space 105, a shutter 107 with a weight 106, and the like. It has a shutter 109 with a weight 108.

The operation or usage of the crease processing device 70 having the above configuration will be described. The crease processing device 70 at the origin position shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is installed at an appropriate position, the slacks having creases formed by press working in advance are turned inside out, and a pair of tables 81 and 82 are inserted into both feet. And set. At this time, the front side of the slacks may be turned up or the back side may be turned up, but here, the slacks are first set on the tables 81 and 82 of the crease processing device 70 at the origin position with the front side facing up. It is explained as. Therefore, the left foot portion of the inverted slacks is set on the table 81 with the front side facing up, and the right foot portion is set on the table 82 with the front side facing up.

After setting by hand adjusting so that the crease on the front side of the slacks already formed by press working extends along the center of the groove width of the V-grooves 88 and 100 of the tables 81 and 82, the switch by the operator ( (Not shown) Turn on the vacuum pump 75 by operation. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the shutters 95 and 107 provided in the opening between the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 and the first internal spaces 92 and 104 of the tables 81 and 82 are the weights of the weights 94 and 106. Since it collapses so as to cover the partition plates 91 and 103, the first internal spaces 92 and 104 of the tables 81 and 82 communicate with the internal space 80 of the rotating mechanism portion 79, but the inside of the rotating mechanism portion 79. The shutters 97 and 109 provided in the opening between the space 80 and the second internal spaces 93 and 105 of the tables 81 and 82 are closed by the weight of the weights 96 and 108, and the vacuum pump 75 Since this closed state is maintained by suction by, the second internal spaces 93 and 105 of the tables 81 and 82 are communicated with the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79 by the shutters 97 and 109 in the closed state. Is blocked. Therefore, only the air in the first internal spaces 92 and 104 of the tables 81 and 82 is sucked through the internal space 80 of the rotating mechanism portion 79, the vacuum duct 110 and the vacuum pipe 76, as described above. The fabric on the front side of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 81 and 82 is brought into close contact with the side surfaces of the V grooves 88 and 100 by the intake air from the intake holes 90 and 102, and the crease on the front side of both feet of the slacks is the V groove 88. , 100 are positioned to extend along the bottom apex of the groove.

While continuing the operation of the vacuum pump 75 and maintaining the above-mentioned positioning state, the crease fixing agent is applied along the creases of the slacks. Since this work can be performed in the same manner as described above in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

After finishing the work of applying the crease fixing agent to the front creases of both feet of the slacks set upside down on the tables 81 and 82 of the crease processing device 70 at the origin position, the slacks are still set. The vacuum pump 75 is turned off by operating a switch (not shown) by an operator, and the entire rotation mechanism 79 is rotated 180 degrees clockwise (in FIGS. 11 and 13) by operating another switch (not shown). The crease processing device 70 is moved to the inverted position. Each part in the inverted position is point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the bearing case 29 with reference to FIGS. 11 and 13, and the second surfaces 87 and 99 having the V grooves 89 and 101 of the tables 81 and 82 are on the upper side.

At this inverted position, the vacuum pump 75 is turned on by operating a switch (not shown) by an operator. As a result, the air in the second internal spaces 93 and 105 of the tables 81 and 82 is sucked through the internal space 80 of the rotation mechanism portion 79, the vacuum duct 110 and the vacuum pipe 76, and is therefore set on the tables 81 and 82. The fabric on the back side of both feet of the slacks is in close contact with the side surface of the V-grooves 89 and 101 by the intake air from the intake holes of the V-grooves 89 and 101, and the folds on the back side of both feet of the slacks are the V-grooves 89 and 101. Positioned to extend along the groove bottom apex of.

The subsequent work procedure is the same as the work procedure at the origin position described above, whereby the creases on the back sides of both feet of the slacks set on the tables 81 and 82 of the crease processing device 70 in the inverted state at the inverted position. Since the work of applying the crease fixing agent is completed and the work of applying the crease fixing agent for one slacks is completed, the slacks are pulled out from the tables 81 and 82 and turned over to complete the work.
