DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for folding pantyhose.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pantyhose is generally distributed after being inserted into a backing paper and then folded and stored in a packaging bag made of a transparent film. These operations are gradually being automated for the purpose of improving the efficiency of insertion and folding of the backing sheet, and the applicant of the present invention has also automatically applied the backing sheet to a bifurcated stretchable bag such as pantyhose. A method and apparatus for insertion have already been proposed (see, for example, JP-A-63-191729 and JP-A-3-85216).

[0003] However, conventionally, since the leg portion and / or the panty portion of the pantyhose are folded after the foot portion of the pantyhose is folded outward, the foot portion may protrude. In addition, since folding of the leg portion and / or the panty portion of the pantyhose was still manually performed, much time was required and productivity was poor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to reduce the size of the pantyhose when folding the leg and / or the panty part of the pantyhose. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of folding the foot part of the pantyhose inward so that the foot part does not protrude. Further, the folding process of the pantyhose leg and / or the panty portion, which had been poor in productivity due to manual operation, was performed by using a folding lever which had been waiting at a folding position of the folding device in advance, thereby automating the folding process. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pantyhose folding method in which the folding time is shortened and the productivity is improved.

[0005]

The present invention relates to the provision of a method for folding pantyhose, which is characterized by constituting only specifications .

[0006]

In the above construction, in order to fold the foot part and / or the leg part of the pantyhose, for example, in a device for inserting a pantyhose into a pantyhose as proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-85216, the backing paper must be It is preferably performed after insertion into the stockings.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Folding of Foot and / or Leg of Pantyhose) FIGS. 1 to 6 show a flow of an operation of folding the left foot FL and the right foot FR of the pantyhose PS inward. is there. First, for example, in a device for inserting a mount into a pantyhose proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-85216,
After the pantyhose PS is put on the pantyhose PS and the mount PB is further inserted into the pantyhose PS, the left leg portion LL and the right leg portion LR of the pantyhose PS are suspended from the state shown in FIG. State. At this time, in the X direction in the drawing, that is,
X direction folding lever 3 that can move freely in the length direction
Is located below the guide lever 2 as shown in FIG.
And it is located so that it may contact the left leg part LL or the left foot part FL of the suspended pantyhose PS. The X-direction folding lever 3 can be extended and contracted in the Z direction in the drawing, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction with respect to the length direction of the mold member 1. Further, the Y-direction folding lever 4 that can freely move in the Y direction in the drawing, that is, the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the mold member 1, can expand and contract in the Z direction, like the X-direction folding lever 3. is there.

Next, the Y-direction folding lever 4 is moved in the Z1 direction to wait above the form member 1 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the X-direction folding lever 3 is moved in the X1 direction. Accordingly, the leg portion LG and the foot portion FT suspended from the guide lever 2 move in the X1 direction together with the X-direction folding lever 3. The X-direction folding lever 3 moves along with the leg portion LG and the foot portion FT above the Y-direction folding lever 4 which has been waiting above the form member 1, and moves in the Y-direction as shown in FIG. The X-direction folding lever 3 is stopped at a point where the folding lever 4 has passed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the Y-direction folding lever 4 is moved in the Y1 direction, and the X-direction folding lever 3 is moved.
Stop at a position above. Thereafter, the X-direction folding lever 3 is moved in the X2 direction, passes below the Y-direction folding lever 4, and then is moved to the position shown in FIG. 5, that is, the initial position shown in FIG. Thereby, the leg part L on the right side of the pantyhose PS
The foot portion FT is folded inward while the R or right foot portion FR is supported by the Y-direction folding lever 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the Y-direction folding lever 4 supporting the right leg LR or the right foot FR of the pantyhose PS is moved to Y2.
The lever 4 is moved in the direction and the Z2 direction, and the Y-direction folding lever 4 is extracted. Further, the X-direction folding lever 3 is moved to Z1.
Pantyhose after moving in the direction
S is extracted from the form member 1 and carried out to the next step.

(Leg part of pantyhose and / or
Or folding of the panty part) Next, the leg parts LG and / or
Alternatively, the flow of the operation of folding the panty portion PT will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the pantyhose PS in which the foot portion FT is folded inward by the method of folding the foot portion FT and / or the leg portion LG of the pantyhose PS is converted into a pantyhose PS by, for example, a folding device as shown in FIG. The leg portion LG and / or the panty portion PT are folded and provided for a bag-filling step of the next step. FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line V-W 'in FIG. 7 and 8, the belt 22 of the conveyor 15 constituting the folding device 10 is concave at the folding position 11 by the rolls 18, 19, and 20. In the groove at the folding position 11,
A folding lever 12 is inserted. Further, the guide rod 13 is supported above the belt 22 on the side supported by the rolls 20 and 21, and can move freely in the vertical direction. The folding device 10 drives the roll 17, the roll 18, the roll 19, the roll 20, and the roll 21 to rotate the belt 22. Therefore, the foot portion FT on the belt 22
The pantyhose PS folded inside is
The sheet is conveyed to the folding position 11 as shown in FIG. When the pantyhose PS is transported to the folding position 11, the driving of the roll 17, the roll 18, the roll 19, the roll 20, and the roll 21 is temporarily stopped, respectively.
The belt 22 is stopped.

Next, the guide rod 13 is moved downward to hold the pantyhose PS, and then the folding lever 12 is moved.
Is suspended in the direction A, that is, in the traveling direction of the belt 22, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, while the leg portion LG and / or the panty portion PT of the panty stocking PS is suspended. By moving the folding lever 12 parabolically, the folding lever 12 can pass above the guide rod 13 while suspending the leg portion LG and / or the panty portion PT of the pantyhose PS. Thereafter, by stopping the folding lever 12, as shown in FIG. 12, the leg portion LG and / or the panty portion PT of the pantyhose PS is folded.

Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the folding lever 12 and the guide rod 13 are moved in the direction B, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the belt 22 advances, and the rolls 17 and 18 are moved again. Roll 19, Roll 20,
By driving the roller 21 and the belt 22, respectively, the belt 22 is rotated and conveyed to the next step, for example, a bag-in step.

[0014]

As described above, according to the method for folding pantyhose of the present invention, the foot part of the pantyhose is folded inward in advance.
The foot portion does not protrude when the leg portion and / or the panty portion of the pantyhose are folded. Furthermore, since the folding process of the leg portion and / or the panty portion of the pantyhose is automated, the folding time can be shortened and the productivity can be improved.
