Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a curtain trimming / binding machine in which a warping machine that folds the curtains of the curtains that have been sewn together and folded, and a curtain binding machine that ties the curled curtains in a vertical direction. To improve efficiency.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The curtains that have been sewn will be neatly aligned with the heels, lightly tied with straps, and shipped in bags. Conventionally, in order to perform this reversal work, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), a curtain is spread on a table so that one person has the top of the curtain and the other person has a hem so that the curtain wall does not collapse. In addition, the folds are folded up. Further, when the warping is completed, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the top, bottom and center of the curtain are tied manually with soft strings. At this time, if the tie is too tight, the curtain folds will collapse, and if it is too loose, the string will come off the curtain.
[0003]
Curtain shipping and packing is a rushing process in the final process, but it takes two manpowers and a lot of time to tidy up with this method and to tie it up.
[0004]
The present applicant has already developed a warping machine that makes it possible to perform curtain warping work alone. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the warping machine includes a hook holding portion 61 that can be moved up and down, and a warping portion 62 that moves up and down and warps the curtain held by the hook holding portion 61. It has.
[0005]
As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 8B, a plurality of warping hooks 64 are planted downward in the hook holding portion 61, and the hooks of the curtain 68 are placed at the tip of the warping hooks 64. A pipe 63 into which 69 is inserted is fixed.
[0006]
In addition, the warping portion 62 includes a rotation plate 67 on the front side and a fixed plate 66 on the back side, and the rotation plate 67 is fixed to one end of the pair of arms 70, with the other end of the arm 70 as the center. It can be rotated. A plurality of partitions 65 are planted on each of the rotating plate 67 and the fixed plate 66 so as to face each other. When the rotating plate 67 is rotated to approach the fixed plate 66, the partition 65 enters between each other as shown in FIG.
[0007]
When the curtain is adjusted using this machine, first, the hook holding portion 61 is lowered to the position shown in FIG. Next, the rotating plate 67 of the warping portion 62 is rotated to a position where the distance from the fixed plate 66 is widened, and the curtain 68 is passed between the rotating plate 67 and the fixed plate 66, and the hook 69 of the curtain 68 is passed. Is inserted into the hole of the pipe 63 of the hook holding portion 61, and the curtain 68 is fixed to the hook holding portion 61.
[0008]
Next, the rotating plate 67 is rotated in the direction of the fixed plate 66, and the partition 65 between the rotating plate 67 and the fixed plate 66 is engaged with the curtain 68 interposed therebetween. At this time, the curtain 68 is attached with a wave matched to the ridge by the partition 65.
[0009]
In this state, the motor 71 is activated to raise the hook holding part 61 and the warping part 62, and then to lower only the warping part 62. At this time, the curtain 68 rises together with the hook holding portion 61 and is squeezed between the partitions 65 when the setting portion 62 is lowered. As a result, uniform ridges are formed on the curtain 68, and the curtain 68 is trimmed.
[0010]
When tying this curtain, as shown in FIG. 9, when the warping part 62 has moved below half of the curtain 68, the center part of the curled curtain 68 is tied with a string, When the opposite part 62 moves to the lower end of the curtain 68, the lower end of the curtain 68 is tied with a string. Next, the hook 69 of the curtain 68 is removed from the pipe 63 of the hook holding portion 61, the curtain 68 is lowered from the hook holding portion 61, and the upper end of the curtain 68 is tied with a string. All the work of tying this string is done manually.
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this warping machine, when the curtain is mounted, since the hook 69 of the curtain 68 is engaged with the pipe 63 of the hook holding portion 61, the work takes much time.
[0012]
In addition, since the stringing for the arranged curtains is entirely manual, the work efficiency is poor.
[0013]
A binding machine shown in FIG. 11 is known as an apparatus for automating the work of tying with a string. In this apparatus, there is a binding base 91 on which an object 94 to be bound is placed on the upper surface of the apparatus main body, and on this binding base 91, a guide portion 92 for guiding the tip of the tape 93 is provided in an arch shape. The tip of the tape 93 drawn from the reel passes through the apparatus main body, is guided along the guide portion 92, and is then drawn into the apparatus main body again. Therefore, the tape forms a ring.
[0014]
When the arch of the guide portion 92 is hidden and the bundle 94 is placed on the center of the bundling table 91 and the start switch 95 is pressed, the other end of the tape 93 is strongly pulled while the tip of the tape 93 is fixed. As a result, the tape 93 that has been guided by the guide portion 92 is detached from the guide portion 92 and is wound around the bundle 94. In this state, in the apparatus main body, the tip of the tape 93 is heat-sealed to the tape portion that goes around the bundle 94 and overlaps with the tip, and the tape-bound state is fixed. Thereafter, the end of the heat-sealed portion of the tape is cut, the leading end of a new tape is guided by the guide portion 92 and drawn, and the tape forms a ring and waits for the next binding. The tightening force by the tape at the time of binding can be adjusted by a tightening force adjusting volume 96.
[0015]
However, this binding machine has not been used for tying curtains until now. This is because it is difficult to carry the tampered curtain to the binding position of the bundling machine with the wrinkles aligned, and the tape tightening force by the bundling machine can be adjusted so that the curtain wrinkles do not collapse. Depending on difficult things.
[0016]
The present invention solves such conventional problems, and a curtain dressing machine having good workability, and a curtain capable of easily performing curtain tying in conjunction with this curtain dressing machine. The object is to provide a curtain trimming and binding machine in which the binding machine is arranged in the vertical direction .
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The curtain trimming and binding machine of the present invention has a plurality of guides that are planted at regular intervals and align and hold the curtain ridges, and curtain holding means that moves up and down along the column, and planting at regular intervals A warping machine having a plurality of guides and having a warping means provided below the support post, and a curtain arranged in the vertical direction below the warping machine to bind the warped curtains Consists of a binding machine.
[0020]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0021]
(First embodiment)
In the first embodiment, an explanation will be given of a warping and binding machine that performs curtain warping and stringing together.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 1 (perspective view), FIG. 2 (front view), FIG. 3 (side view), and FIG. 4 (top view), this apparatus includes a curtain holding unit 11 that moves up and down along a support column 13, and a support column. 13 is a curtain reversing portion 12 fixed to 13; a motor 14 that is a drive source for the curtain holding portion 11; a pair of limit switches 17 that define the movement range of the curtain holding portion 11; A bundling machine 15 arranged, a reel 16 for supplying a soft tape to the bundling machine 15, and a control box 23 for controlling the operation of the apparatus are provided.
[0023]
A plurality of “U” -shaped guides 18 and 19 are implanted in each of the curtain holding portion 11 and the curtain setting portion 12, and the ridges of the curtain 20 are inserted into the gaps between the plurality of guides. .
[0024]
The binding machine 15 is attached with an apparatus having the same structure as the conventional one so that the binding base 22 faces forward and the arch surface of the guide portion 21 is horizontal.
[0025]
In this apparatus, first, the motor 14 is driven to lower the curtain holding unit 11. The curtain holding part 11 descends until it touches the lower limit switch 17, and stops when it touches. In this state, between the U-shaped guides 18 of the curtain holding part 11 folds and inserts the ceiling of the curtain 20 and inserts the U-shaped guides 19 of the curtain setting part 12 fixed to the support column 13. Also insert the curtain 20 curtain. Further, the skirt of the curtain 20 passes through the arch of the guide portion 21 of the binding machine 15 (the arch may be passed later).
[0026]
The top of the curtain is formed with a thick cloth and is thick, and there is a seam allowance, and even if a downward force is applied to the curtain, it does not fall out of the curtain holding portion 11.
[0027]
Next, the motor 14 is driven to raise the curtain holding unit 11. The curtain holding unit 11 releases and stops the foot switch (not shown) for controlling the motor 14 at the place where the skirt of the curtain comes to the setting unit 12.
[0028]
During this time, the curtain 20 rises together with the curtain holding portion 11, and in the course of this rise, the curtain 20 is creased between the U-shaped guides 19 of the curtain trimming portion 12, and the wrinkles are aligned and trimmed. Alternatively, the curtain holding unit 11 may be lifted without using the trimming unit, and the curtain hem may be held by hand for trimming.
[0029]
When tying a curtain that has been tampered with, the curtain holding part 11 is moved up and down so that the vicinity of the skirt of the curtain 20 faces the arch of the guide part 21 of the binding machine 15, and the tape tightening force of the binding machine 15 is weakened. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the binding machine 15 is started while guiding the curtain by hand so that the folds are not crushed. The binding machine 15 completes the binding in about 3 seconds.
[0030]
Next, the curtain holding portion 11 is further lowered, and the vicinity of the center of the curtain is positioned within the arch of the guide portion 21 of the binding machine 15 to perform binding in the same manner. Finally, the curtain is removed from the curtain holding unit 11, and the vicinity of the top is bound by the binding machine 15 to complete the stringing operation.
[0031]
In this apparatus, the curtain can be attached simply by inserting the curtain ridge between the U-shaped guides 18 of the curtain holding portion 11, and when removing the curtain, it can be removed simply by pulling the curtain toward the front. Therefore, it is very easy to attach and remove the curtain as compared with the conventional warping machine. At this time, it is not always necessary to divide and insert each of the curtain ridges into the gaps of the separate U-shaped guides 18, and a plurality of ridges may be inserted into the gaps of one U-shaped guide 18. .
[0032]
Further, in this apparatus, since the binding machine is arranged below the balancing mechanism, efficient binding by the binding machine can be performed only by lowering the curtain that has been trimmed to the position of the binding machine. .
[0033]
In this embodiment, the combination of the warping machine and the bundling machine having a new configuration has been described. However, the conventional warping machine (FIG. 8) and the bundling machine are combined to provide a lower part of the conventional warping machine. It is also possible to arrange a binding machine.
[0035]
(Second Embodiment)
In the second embodiment, a configuration for reducing the tape tightening force of the binding machine will be described.
[0036]
When tying a curtain that has been trimmed with the bundling machine of the first embodiment, the tightening force adjusting volume of the bundling machine can be operated to adjust the tape tightening force. However, in reality, it is difficult to adjust the tightening force so that the curtain wrinkles do not collapse with this volume alone, the tightening force is too strong and the wrinkles are crushed, or the tightening force is too weak to bind. Occasionally tapes come off the curtain.
[0037]
Therefore, in the apparatus according to the second embodiment, the binding machine is provided with a pair of binding guides 41 for preventing over-tightening of the tape, as shown in FIG. The binding guide 41 has a shape similar to the character “9”, and a foot portion having a narrow width is fixed to the shaft 42. The shaft 42 is inserted through a hole of a bearing 43 installed near the guide portion 44 of the binding machine. Therefore, the binding guide 41 can move in the horizontal direction together with the shaft 42, and can rotate around the shaft 42. When the binding guide 41 is rotated in the direction of the guide portion 44 of the binding machine, the circular portion of the character “9” of the binding guide 41 comes to a position facing the arch of the guide portion 44. Further, when the binding guide 41 is rotated in the opposite direction, the circular portion is retracted from the arch of the guide portion 44.
[0038]
At the time of bundling the curtain, the pair of bundling guides 41 are attached to both sides of the curled curtain 45, and the bundling guide 41 is rotated so that the circular portion faces the arch of the guide part 44. When binding is performed by the binding machine in this state, the tape binds the curtain 45 and the binding guide 41 together as shown in FIG. The binding guide 41 reduces the impact of the tape on the curtain during the binding.
[0039]
After bundling is completed, the bundling guide 41 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the bundling guide 41 is extracted from the bundled tape loop. At this time, the binding guide 41 may be removed from the loop of the bound tape by moving the curtain downward.
[0040]
By doing so, there is a margin in the loop of the bound tape, and overtightening by the tape can be prevented.
[0041]
Note that the bundling guide 41 may be configured in other shapes. Further, the binding guide 41 may be provided only on one side instead of a pair.
[0042]
FIG. 7A shows an example in which the rod-like binding guide 46 is arranged at a position away from the arch of the guide portion 44 of the binding machine. At the time of binding, the arranged curtain 45 is arranged on the binding table of the binding machine via the binding guide 46. Accordingly, the curtain 45 is bound by the tape while being floated from the binding table by the thickness of the binding guide 46, so that overtightening by the tape can be avoided.
[0043]
FIG. 7B shows a plate-like binding guide 47 having a gap on one surface. The binding guide 47 is arranged with the gap facing the binding base, and is bound together with the curtain 45 thereon during binding. At this time, the binding guide 47 softens the impact caused by the tape. Further, the gap of the binding guide 47 acts to float the curtain from the binding table, and overtightening by the tape is alleviated. Further, after binding, the curtain is lowered downward and the binding guide 47 is pulled out, so that a margin can be made in the bound tape loop.
[0044]
In this way, by providing the binding guide in the binding machine, it is possible to tie the curled curtain without crushing the wrinkles.
[0045]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the curtain trimming and binding machine of the present invention can easily perform the work of attaching and removing the curtain.
[0046]
Moreover, the curtain binding machine in which the binding machine is arranged below the finishing machine can efficiently bind the set curtains.
[0047]
Further, in the apparatus in which the bundling machine is provided with the bundling guide, it is possible to perform bundling without crushing the curled curtains.
