[Function] Since clothes are put on the orthopedic body 10 so that a person is put on the shoulder, the sleeves are stretched, the fronts are aligned, and the hem is aligned. It is important to fix the sleeves at the same time as the sleeves are stretched so that they can be adjusted. Therefore, the shaping body 10 carries the garment to the conveyor means by ascending. The garment is removed from the shaped body 10 so as to be pulled out by the conveyor means 20 and receives the sleeve shaped body on the conveyor means.

That is, the garment is affected by the shaping belts 21 and 22 moving to the left and right from the center line of the garment so as to expand the sleeves to the left and right. A suction duct 24 is provided in the left and right shaping belts, and the duct is provided. Since the sleeve is stretched by the suction force acting through the suction port 23 of 24 and the slit 25 formed in the shaping conveyors 21 and 22, the work of stretching while shaping the sleeve is surely performed without applying excessive force to the clothes. .

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a garment continuous shaping / feeding device according to the present invention. A sleeve shaping section A is shown in FIG.

The apparatus according to the present invention has a shaping body 10 on which a garment having sleeves is hung. The shaping body 10 projects from a shoulder portion 11 at a position corresponding to a neck (FIG. 3), and small arms 12 and 12 are provided on both sides.
And has a similar external shape to the human body, especially at the upper torso. The shaping body 10 is erected on a base 13 and has a built-in expansion / contraction mechanism 14 at a lower portion so that the shaping body 10 can be raised to an inlet 20 ′ of the conveyor means 20.

The shaping body 10 is located immediately below the inlet 20 '. When the shaping body 10 is raised most, the neck and the arm 12 enter the inlet 20' (see a chain line in FIG. 3). Thereby, the clothes can be reliably transferred to the conveyor means 20. Since the small arms 12, 12 are urged by the spring and protruded, when the garment is pulled upward, the arms are in a smashed state, so that there is no resistance or catch.

Between the shaping body 10 in the lowered position and the inlet 20 'of the conveyor means 20, a skirt correcting means 15 is provided. The means 15 has a structure in which a pair of bar-shaped members 16 are arranged in parallel so as to be in contact with the front and rear surfaces of the hem of the garment, and are attached to a support member 17 so as to be rotatable about both members 16 and 16. Have. The pair of rod-shaped members 16 and 16 act to lightly and squeeze the hem by applying a force in a direction substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the garment alternately from the front and the back, thereby eliminating turbulence.

The above-mentioned conveyor means 20 comprises a pair of upper and lower conveyor portions 26 and 27, and the front end is bent downward so as to become the introduction portion 20 'of the clothes transferred from the shaping body 10, and is slightly opened. I have. In FIG. 3, a and n denote conveyor rolls at the top of the inlet 20 'and at the tip of the lower conveyor portions 26 and 27. Upper and lower conveyor parts 26, 27
The lower conveyor portion 27 has a wider transport area (width) than the expanded sleeve because it needs to transport the garment with expanded sleeves, and the upper conveyor portion 26 can hold down the garment, especially the torso portion. Since it is good if possible, the width is set narrow (see Fig. 1).

In FIG. 4, the upper conveyor section 26 passes through rolls a, b, c, d, e, f, and g, and the lower conveyor section 27 passes through rolls n, b, c, k, 1, and m. And go around each. The portion of the roll a is biased in the roll n direction by a biasing means 18 such as a spring. In addition, auxiliary conveyors 28 via rolls c, d, e, f, h, and i are provided on the left and right sides of the unloading section 29 of the conveyor means 20. It is something to press against. Each conveyor consists of multiple belts (Fig. 1).

The sleeve shaping section A according to the present invention is a conveyor means 2
The upper and lower conveyor parts 26 and 27 are provided substantially horizontally (between rolls b and c). The sleeve shaping unit A has shaping belts 21 and 22 that rotate symmetrically left and right from the center line of the clothing on the lower conveyor 27. Each of the shaping belts 21 and 22 is formed of an endless annular belt member, each of which is supported by several rollers, and whose lower surface moving outward plays a role of forcibly shifting the sleeve of the garment outward. In FIG. 3, reference numerals 31 and 32 denote drive rollers of the shaping belts 21 and 22, and reference numeral 33 denotes a motor as a drive source. The drive rollers 31 and 32 are transmission means 34 such as a cogged belt or a chain which can maintain synchronization. , 34.

A duct 24 is provided in the annular space of each of the shaping belts 21 and 22 for sucking the sleeve. The duct 24 has a suction port 23 which is open on almost the entire lower surface of the conveyor means 20 facing the lower conveyor portion 27, and is capable of sucking from the base of the sleeve to the tip of the sleeve. This wide suction port 23 is covered by the shaping belts 21 and 22. Then, a slit-like opening 25 elongated in the belt width direction is provided therein to narrow the opening width so that the suction force can be used intensively, and the sleeve 25 moves outward from the center to the left and right to move the sleeve outward. To be able to shape by pulling.

The duct 24 has a closed structure except that it is open at the suction port 23 on the lower surface, and is connected to a blower 30 as a suction source 35 at a connection port provided at an end to obtain a suction force. . The illustrated blower is driven by a motor 36 and discharges suction air from an exhaust port 37. Therefore both openings 2
The sleeves are stretched to the left and right by the synchronous movement of 5 and 25.

Downstream of the sleeve shaping section A is an unloading section 29 of the conveyor means 20, and an outlet 20 "is provided at the outlet 20".
An arrangement 8 is provided so that the shaped clothes can be discharged with the sleeves expanded. The discharge conveyor 38 is composed of a multi-strip belt that circulates through each of the p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, and x rolls (see FIG. 4). The portions of the rolls v, w, and x are standing up in FIGS.
By setting the rolls w, x, and r flat by tilting in the direction of 0, a feeding conveyor bypass port is configured. The chain line in FIG. 5 (d) is the above-mentioned inlet which does not pass through the sleeve shaping portion A, and therefore, the shaping body 10 can be lowered to a height which does not interfere with the conveyor.

In order to use the apparatus of the present invention having such a configuration, the garment W is hung on the shaping body 10 (FIG. 5).
(A)), this garment has already been washed and dried. The shaping body 10 rises and inserts the garment W into the inlet 20 'of the conveyor means 20 (FIG. 5B), and the garment W moves between the upper and lower conveyor portions 26 and 27. It can be stopped when the shoulder enters the conveyor means 20 from the collar, and the disturbance of the clothing can be corrected in advance. Orthopedic belts 21 and 22 whose sleeves are sleeve orthopedic section A
When it is carried to the lower part of the garment, the position detecting means operates to stop the clothing. The shaping body 10 descends and returns to the initial position for hanging the next clothes.

In the sleeve shaping section A, the body of the garment is pressed by the upper and lower conveyor sections 26 and 27, and the sleeve shaping means operates on the sleeve Y portion. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the suction force acts on the sleeve Y from the slit 25 located inside the lower surface of the shaping belts 21 and 22 to suck the sleeve Y from the slit 25 into the duct 24 (FIG. 6). Upper),
Since each of the slits 25 starts moving left and right from the center of the garment, the sleeve Y is pulled left and right while being sucked (middle in FIG. 6), and the slit 25 is separated from the sleeve Y. Keep shaping the sleeve Y until it moves to (Fig. 6
Bottom).

Before and after the sleeve shaping, the hem correcting means 15 operates (FIG. 5 (c)). The garment passes between the pair of bar-shaped members 16, 16 for correcting the hem.
Rotates and gives resistance, acting as if to scrape or squeeze the surface. The clothes W are generally sent by the conveyor means 20 while receiving the hem correction action (see FIG. 5).
(D)), it is discharged in a state where the whole is shaped and put into the next step.

[0022]

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, after the garment having the sleeve is hung on the shaping body 10 simulating a human body, the conveyer means 20 is raised by raising the shaping body 10.
And the shaping belts 21 and 22 that are moved from the center to the left and right on the conveyor means 20 and the slits 25 and 25 provided in the shaping belts shape the sleeves by the suction force that acts on the sleeves. It is possible to obtain a regular appearance state without any displacement and the like, and since the acting force on the clothes is simple, there is an effect that there is little possibility of causing a problem in operation.
