Of the snap fastener attaching machine that is configured to crimp the joint member with the sheet-like member sandwiched therebetween, a receiver that supports the synthetic resin rivet member with the protrusion facing upward, and a receiver above the receiver A first hopper for housing a fitting member made of synthetic resin in which a through hole for inserting a protrusion of the rivet member is formed in the center, and a rivet member A second hopper that feeds, a first chute that feeds down the fitting member fed from the first hopper, and a second shoe that feeds down the rivet member fed from the second hopper The upper and lower two-stage pressing plates that feed the fitting member fed down to the lower end of the first chute into the driving tool and the rivet member fed down to the lower end of the second chute into the receiving tool, respectively. A pusher capable of reciprocating in the front-rear direction having a portion, an elevating drive means for the driving tool, and a driving means for the pusher. An openable and closable upper chuck for holding a fitting member that is slidable in the vertical direction on the tool body, and a cylindrical shaft that is slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the driving tool body and biased downward by the biasing means. A guide punch, and a caulking punch disposed inside the guide punch and fixed to the driving tool body, wherein the receiving tool includes a receiving table on which a rivet member is placed; An openable and closable lower chuck for positioning the sheet-like member configured to descend synchronously with the lowering of the jig at a predetermined timing, and the sheet-like member is interposed between the receiving tool and the driving tool In this state, by lowering the driving tool, the fitting member is pushed down by the guide punch, and the protrusion of the rivet member is inserted into the sheet-like member and inserted into the through hole of the fitting member, and the protrusion tip is inserted by the caulking punch. The present invention relates to a snap fastener attaching machine in which the diameter of the rivet member and the fitting member are squeezed and fixed in a state where a sheet-like member is sandwiched between the rivet member and the fitting member.

  In this type of snap fastener attaching machine, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, a sheet-like member such as an edge of the front body of clothing is interposed between the receiving tool and the driving tool. When the pedal is depressed, the driving tool driven by the motor output through the one-rotation clutch is lowered, and the driving tool is moved up and down after the rivet member and the fitting member are clamped and held between the sheet-like members. Ascending and returning to the upper end of the stroke, the next rivet member and fitting member are automatically fed to the receiving tool and the driving tool by the pusher, so that the rivet member and the fitting member are manually supplied to the receiving tool and the driving tool. Compared to a semi-automatic machine, there is an advantage that the snap fastener can be attached efficiently.

  However, in the conventional snap fastener attaching machine, a marking projector is provided in the vicinity of the driving tool so that the snap fastener can be accurately attached to the predetermined position of the sheet-like member, and the predetermined position (sheet-like member) of the sheet-like member is provided. In the case where the spotlight for indicating the snap fastener attachment position is irradiated on the member at a position directly above the projection of the rivet member), the following problems have been caused.

  That is, in the conventional snap fastener attaching machine, when the driving tool stops at the upper end of the lifting stroke, the pusher that reciprocates in the front-rear direction moves forward to the front end of the reciprocating stroke and moves the rivet member and the fitting member to the receiving tool and the driving tool. If the marking projector is installed directly behind the driving tool and the pressing plate on the upper part of the pusher blocks the optical axis from the marking projector, a spotlight is placed at a predetermined position on the sheet-like member. Cannot irradiate.

  If a marking projector is provided in front of the driving tool and the spotlight is irradiated from the front, the marking projector obstructs the operator's field of view, and the snap fastener attaching operation becomes extremely difficult.

Therefore, in the conventional snap fastener attaching machine, as shown in FIG. 17, the marking projector 70 is provided beside the driving tool 9 (on either the left or right side), and the spotlight is irradiated obliquely from the side of the driving tool 9. In this case, if the thickness T ₁ , T ₂ , T ₃ of the sheet-like member C is different, the position of the spotlight M that hits the surface of the sheet-like member C is lateral. Will shift in the direction.

  When the position of the spotlight M that hits the surface of the sheet-like member C (in other words, the position where the snap fastener is attached) is shifted laterally, for example, a snap fastener that is attached in plural along the edge of the front body of the garment. When the female and male snaps are fitted, the wrinkles will be generated in the wide part. That is, even if the position of the spotlight M hitting the surface of the sheet-like member C is shifted in the front-rear direction, there is no problem, but if it is shifted in the lateral direction, it appears as a wrinkle of clothes, and the commercial value of the clothes is greatly impaired. become. As will be described later, the snap fastener attaching operation is performed in a state where the edge of the sheet-like member C is applied to the rising piece 71 of the work table 70 and the edge of the sheet-like member C is positioned back and forth. In many cases, there is no deviation in the front-rear direction.

Therefore, when the marking projector 70 is provided beside the driving tool 9 and the spotlight M is irradiated obliquely from the side of the driving tool 9, marking is performed according to the thicknesses T ₁ , T ₂ , T ₃ of the sheet-like member C. It is essential to adjust the optical axis by rotating the projector 70 around the fulcrum. Moreover, even in a single garment, there can be three or more layers of fabric that are single, double, or folded twice, and many pieces of fabric are piled up at the end to increase the thickness. Since the thickness is not constant and the thickness is not constant, the optical axis adjustment described above is a considerably troublesome work.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to use a fitting member that has been supplied down to the lower end of the first chute as a driving tool and a rivet member that has been supplied down to the lower end of the second chute. A marking projector is provided behind the driving tool in spite of being a snap fastener attaching machine having a pusher that can be reciprocated in the front-rear direction, having two upper and lower pressing plates to be fed, respectively. Thus, even if the thickness of the sheet-like member changes, the position of the spotlight that hits the surface of the sheet-like member is prevented from shifting in the lateral direction.

  In order to achieve the above object, technical measures taken by the present invention are as follows. That is, the invention according to claim 1 is a receiving tool for supporting a synthetic resin rivet member so that the protrusions face upward, and a vertically movable driving tool disposed above the receiving tool so as to face the receiving tool. A first hopper that accommodates a synthetic resin fitting member having a through-hole for inserting a protrusion of the rivet member in the center, a second hopper that accommodates the rivet member, and a fit that is fed from the first hopper A first chute that feeds the joint member down, a second chute that feeds down the rivet member fed out from the second hopper, and a fitting member that flows down to the lower end of the first chute are used as the second tool. A pusher capable of reciprocating in the front-rear direction having a two-stage pressing plate portion for feeding the rivet member fed down to the lower end of the chute to the receiver, and a driving tool for driving the driving tool And a pusher drive means, wherein the driving tool is a vertically driven driving tool body driven by the lifting drive means, and a freely openable / closable member for holding the fitting member mounted on the driving tool body so as to be vertically slidable. An upper chuck, a cylindrical guide punch that is slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the driving tool main body and biased downward by the biasing means, and is disposed inside the guide punch and fixed to the driving tool main body. The squeezing punch is configured to be openable and closable for positioning the sheet-shaped member configured to be synchronized with the cradle on which the rivet member is placed and the descent of the driving tool at a predetermined timing. A lower chuck, and the guide punch is fitted by lowering the driving tool in a state where a sheet-like member is interposed between the receiving tool and the driving tool. The member is pushed down, the protrusion of the rivet member is pierced into the sheet-like member and inserted into the through hole of the fitting member, the protrusion tip is struck by the caulking punch, and the diameter of the protrusion is increased, and the rivet member and the fitting member In a snap fastener attaching machine in which the sheet-like member is clamped, when the driving tool stops at the upper end of the lifting stroke, the pusher drives the fitting member with the upper pressing plate portion. One of the configurations is such that a gap is formed between the upper pressing plate portion of the pusher and the fitting member in the driving tool by stopping at a position retracted by a small distance from the front end of the reciprocating stroke sent to the tool. A marking projector is provided behind the driving tool, and a spotlight is irradiated to a predetermined position of the sheet-like member through the gap. It is characterized by being configured as described above.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the snap fastener attaching machine according to the first aspect, the work table on which the sheet-like member is placed is detachably attached to the main body frame, and the work table is attached to the rear of the sheet-like member. The positioning rising piece capable of abutting the end edge is mounted in a state in which the position can be adjusted back and forth.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the snap fastener attaching machine according to the first or second aspect, the marking projector is swingable back and forth about a fulcrum shaft in the left-right direction and is urged to swing in one direction by a spring. The adjusting tool for swinging the marking projector around the fulcrum shaft against the spring is provided.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the fitting member fed down to the lower end of the first chute is fed into the driving tool, and the rivet member fed down to the lower end of the second chute is fed into the receiving tool. In spite of being a snap fastener attaching machine having a pusher that can move back and forth in the front-rear direction having a two-stage pressing plate, when the driving tool stops at the upper end of the lifting stroke, the pusher By stopping at a position retracted by a small distance from the front end of the reciprocating stroke in which the fitting member is sent to the driving tool by the plate member, between the pressing plate part on the upper stage of the pusher and the fitting member in the driving tool. Since the gap is formed, a spotlight is illuminated from a marking projector provided behind the driving tool to a predetermined position of the sheet-like member through the gap. (In other words, by irradiating a spot light toward the front side from the rear upper portion of the driving tool) that can be.

  Therefore, even if the thickness of the sheet-like member changes, the position of the spotlight that hits the surface of the sheet-like member does not shift in the lateral direction, and the snap fastener mounting interval may be out of order even if troublesome optical axis adjustment is not performed. There is no.

  In addition, when irradiating the spotlight from the rear upper part of the driving tool toward the front side, if the thickness of the sheet-like member is changed, the position of the spotlight hitting the surface of the sheet-like member is shifted in the front-rear direction. However, according to the invention of claim 2, the edge of the sheet-like member is used as a rising piece of the work table. The snap fastener attaching operation can be performed with the end edge of the sheet-like member positioned in the front-rear direction, and the displacement of the snap fastener attaching position in the front-rear direction can be eliminated.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the position of the spotlight that hits the surface of the sheet-like member can be adjusted in the front-rear direction, the snap fastener in the front-rear direction can be used even when the snap fastener is attached without attaching the work table. Misalignment of the fastener mounting position can be eliminated.

It has. The lower chuck 33 is composed of a pair of left and right members biased in a closed state by a spring 34, and a rivet member A that is fed by a pressing plate portion 21 b on the lower stage of the pusher 21 to opposite sides of the pair of left and right members. And a circular hole located at the end of the guide groove (directly above the cradle 32), and the inner diameter of the circular hole is larger than the diameter of the head of the rivet member A. It has a slightly larger diameter. Reference numeral 35 denotes a guide plate for guiding the vertical movement of the lower chuck 33, which is positioned on the lower front surface of the block-shaped frame 4 by two pins 36 and fixed by bolts 37.

  The lower ends of the pair of left and right members of the lower chuck 33 are pivotally attached to the front end of a swing arm 39 pivotally supported by the block-shaped frame 4 by a horizontal shaft 38 with a pin 40 that can be inserted and removed. By swinging in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 2 to 4 about the horizontal axis 38, the lower chuck 33 is configured to descend while opening left and right against the spring 34.

  A plate 41 with a hole is fixed to the rear end of the swing arm 39 pivotally connected to the lower end of the lower chuck 33. A rod 42 is inserted into the hole of the plate 41, and a timing adjusting nut 43 is screwed to the lower end side of the rod 42. The upper end of the rod 42 is connected to the rear end of a swing link 45 pivotally supported by the upper frame 5 via a fulcrum shaft 44, and swings about the fulcrum shaft 47 around the front end of the swing link 45. The intermediate portion of the swing link 48 is pivotally connected by a link 49 whose length can be adjusted. The swing link 48 constitutes a part of a lifting / lowering driving means of the driving tool 9 described later, and is configured to swing up and down around the fulcrum shaft 47 as the driving tool 9 moves up and down.

  When the swing link 45 swings in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 2 to 4 due to the downward swing of the swing link 48 as the driving tool 9 descends, the rod 42 is lifted up. The nut 43 comes into contact with the lower surface of the plate 41 with the time lag and the nut 43 pulls up the plate 41, so that the swing arm 39 swings in the clockwise direction to lower the lower chuck 33. Reference numeral 50 denotes a coil spring that urges the swing arm 39 counterclockwise to hold the lower chuck 33 in an ascending posture, and is provided in a state of being fitted onto the rod 42. The fulcrum shaft 44 of the swing link 45 is pivotally supported by the upper frame 5 so as to rotate integrally with the swing link 45, and the first and second hoppers 12a, 12a, The swing arms 17a and 17b for driving 12b are fixed.

  According to said structure, as shown in FIG.5, FIG.6, FIG.11, in the state which interposed the sheet-like member C, such as the edge of clothes, between the said receiving tool 8 and the said driving tool 9, By lowering the driving tool 9, as shown in FIG. 12A, the upper chuck 23 is lowered while holding the fitting member B, and the upper chuck 23 is supported by the lower chuck 33. Even after coming into contact with C, the guide punch 24 pushes down the fitting member B as shown in FIG. The sheet-like member C is inserted and inserted into the through hole b of the fitting member B.

  In this state, the guide punch 24 and the caulking punch 25 continue to descend further, and the caulking punch 25 descends with respect to the guide punch 24 even after the lowering of the guide punch 24 is blocked by the cradle 32 as shown in FIG. Thus, the tip end portion of the protrusion a is struck by the caulking punch 25 to be expanded in diameter, and the rivet member A and the fitting member B are caulked and stopped with the sheet-like member C interposed therebetween.

  11 to 13, the male fitting member B is shown as the fitting member B. However, by replacing the guide punch 25 and the caulking punch 26 with those for female snapping, a female fitting can be obtained. The joint member B and the rivet member A can be caulked. That is, the snap fastener includes a rivet member A and a male fitting member B that form a male snap D, and a rivet member A and a female fitting member B that form a female snap E, as shown in FIG. It is made of four members, and either the male snap D or the female snap E can be produced by exchanging the guide punch 25 and the caulking punch 26.

  The raising / lowering drive means of the driving tool 9 includes the cam shaft 6, a first cam 51 provided on the cam shaft 6, a first cam follower 52 that follows the first cam 51, and a first cam follower 52. And an interlocking mechanism 53 that converts the movement of the driving tool 9 into the raising / lowering movement of the driving tool 9, and a predetermined angular range (approximately 150 degrees in the illustrated example) of the cam surface is a circular shape (an arc having a constant radius). Thus, while the camshaft 6 makes one rotation in the arrow direction X, the driving tool 9 is configured to stand still for a certain period of time while the tip end of the protrusion of the rivet member A is expanded and deformed.

  Then, a narrow angle range (cam surface portion eccentric at a steep angle) β preceding the circular cam surface portion (predetermined angle range α), that is, a predetermined angle range (driving tool) formed in a circular shape. The cam surface portion that is less than half of the portion excluding α) that is stationary for a certain period of time is the descent of the driving tool 9 (from the penetration of the rivet member A into the sheet-like member C to the tip of the protrusion a of the rivet member A) It is configured to administer up to the hit of the department.

  The interlocking mechanism 53 shown in the figure is a link 54 pivotally connected to the upper end of the driving tool main body 22, and is connected to the link 54 in a range of a pin 55 and a long hole 56 so as to be extendable and contracted by a compression spring 57 in the extending direction. The oscillating link 58, the oscillating link 48 pivotally supported on the upper frame 5 around the fulcrum shaft 47, the upper end pivotally attached to the vicinity of the tip of the oscillating link 48, and the first end at the lower end. The cam follower 52 is supported by a rod 59 and a return spring 60. A long hole 59 a through which the cam shaft 6 is inserted is formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the rod 59.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the pusher 21 has a rear end position where the lower pressing plate portion 21b is retracted from the rivet member A flowing down the second chute 13b, and as shown in FIGS. Then, the upper pressing plate portion 13a feeds the fitting member B, which has flowed down the first chute 13a, to the position held by the upper chuck 23 to the driving tool 9, and the lower pressing plate portion 13b is moved to the second chute. The rivet member B that has flowed down 13b reciprocates as a stroke length with respect to the advance position sent to the receiving tool 8, but the driving tool 9 stops at the upper end of the lifting stroke as shown in FIGS. When the pusher 21 moves forward to the front end of the reciprocating stroke, the fitting member B is fed into the driving tool 9 and the rivet member B is fed into the receiving tool 8, respectively. By stopping at a position short distance backward, a gap S ₁ is formed between the fitting member B fed into the implanted device 9 and the pressing plate part 13a of the upper pusher 21, and, the lower pusher 21 A gap S <b> ₂ is formed between the pressing plate portion 13 b and the rivet member B fed into the receiving member 8.

  In other words, the pusher 21 is based on a position retracted from the front end of the reciprocating stroke by a small distance (see FIG. 5), and is reciprocated from the base point when the driving tool 9 is lowered in accordance with one lifting operation of the driving tool 9. Retracted to the rear end of the troke (see FIG. 6), and when the driving tool 9 was raised, the rivet member A and the fitting member B were moved forward to the front end of the reciprocating troke to be fed into the receiving tool 8 and the driving tool 9 (see FIG. 7). After that, it is configured to return to the base point again (see FIG. 5) and stop.

  The drive means of the pusher 21 includes the cam shaft 6, a second cam 61 provided on the cam shaft 6, a second cam follower 62 that follows the second cam 61, and the operations of the second cam follower 62. Is constructed with an interlocking mechanism 63 that converts the pusher 21 into a reciprocating motion in the front-rear direction.

  The illustrated interlocking mechanism 63 is guided by the block-like frame 4 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and has two rods 64 attached to the tip in a state where the pusher 21 can be attached and detached, and slidably bias both rods 64 forward. A spring 65, a roller 66 horizontally mounted on the rear end portion of the rod 64, and a pivot 3 that is pivotably supported by the support column 3 via a horizontal shaft 67; a second cam follower 62 is pivotally supported at the lower end portion; The swing arm 68 with its upper end abutted against the front portion of the roller 66 and the swing arm 68 are urged around the horizontal axis 67 in the direction in which the second cam follower 62 is in pressure contact with the second cam 61. A spring 69 is included.

  In other words, the pusher 21 performs forward movement (advance operation) to feed the rivet member A and the fitting member B to the receiving device 8 and the driving device 9 by the force of the spring 65, and the backward operation is shaken by the second cam 61. It is configured to be performed by a swing arm 68 that is dynamically driven. If the upper end of the swing arm 68 is not directly connected to the shaft of the roller 66 but is simply brought into contact with the front of the roller 66, an unexpected situation such as a clogging of the receiving tool 8 or the driving tool 9 may occur. In this case, it is considered that the pusher 21 does not forcibly move forward due to mechanical force and the receiving tool 8, the driving tool 9 and the like are not damaged.

Reference numeral 70 denotes a work table on which the sheet-like member C is placed, and is detachably attached to the main body frame 1. On the work table 70, a positioning rising piece 71 capable of abutting the rear end edge of the sheet-like member C is mounted in a state in which the position can be adjusted back and forth by a butterfly bolt and a nut. Reference numeral 72 denotes a marking projector disposed behind the driving tool 9. When the driving tool 9 is at the upper end of the lifting stroke, a predetermined position of the sheet-like member C (the rivet in the sheet-like member C is passed through the gap S _1. A cross-shaped spotlight M is irradiated onto the protrusion A of the member A). The marking projector 72 is pivotally supported on the block frame 4 via a fulcrum shaft 73 in the left-right direction so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction around the fulcrum shaft 73, and is a spring (in the example, a leaf spring) 74. Is oscillated and biased in one direction.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the marking projector 72 is resisted against the spring 74 by rotating the adjusting tool 75 made of a screw shaft having a tapered tip with an appropriate tool 76. It is configured to swing around the fulcrum shaft 73 and adjust the optical axis back and forth. P shown in FIG. 16 is a mark indicating a snap fastener attachment position written on the surface of the sheet-like member C in advance.

  According to the above configuration, the driving tool 9 can be moved to the rivet member A during one rotation of the cam shaft 6 by forming a predetermined angular range α of the cam surface formed on the first cam 51 in a circular shape. Since the tip end portion of the protrusion a is stationary for a predetermined time in a state where the diameter of the protrusion a is deformed, until the cam shaft 6 makes one rotation, the diameter expanding deformation portion c at the tip of the protrusion is stabilized in a plastically deformed state. It is possible to reliably prevent the diameter-enlarged deformation portion c from being restored in the direction opposite to the pressing direction by the driving tool 9 due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin.

  In particular, of the time for which the camshaft 6 rotates once, a small amount of time excluding the resting time of the driving tool 9 is spent for both lowering and raising of the driving tool 9, that is, on the camshaft 6. Of the 360-degree cam surface provided on the first cam 51, 1 / of a portion excluding a predetermined angular range (cam surface portion for allowing the driving tool 9 to stand still for a certain period) α formed in a circular shape. Since the cam surface portion of 2 or less (the narrow angle range β preceding the predetermined angle range α) governs the lowering of the driving tool 9, the sheet shape of the protrusion a of the rivet member A by pressing down of the fitting member B The penetration to the member C can be performed at high speed.

  Therefore, when the material resin of the rivet member A is polyacetal, even if it is polyethylene, polyester, or the like, the rivet member A can be surely penetrated into the sheet-like member C, and the rivet member (projection) The diameter expansion deformation due to the impact of the tip portion) can be performed without the restoration due to the elasticity of the material resin.

In addition, according to the above configuration, the fitting member B supplied to the lower end of the first chute 13a is applied to the driving tool 9, and the rivet member A supplied to the lower end of the second chute 13b is applied to the receiving tool 8. The driving tool 9 stops at the upper end of the up / down stroke even though it is a snap fastener attaching machine having a pusher 21 which can be reciprocated in the front-rear direction having two upper and lower pressing plate portions 21a, 21b to be fed. Then, the pusher 21 is advanced to the front end of the reciprocating stroke, and after the fitting member B is fed into the driving tool 9 and the rivet member A into the receiving tool 8, respectively, the pusher 21 is gradually moved from the front end of the reciprocating stroke. By stopping at a position retracted by a distance, a gap S ₁ is formed between the upper pressing plate portion 21 a of the pusher 21 and the fitting member B fed into the driving tool 9. Since it is configured to be, if possible (i.e. from the marking projector 72 provided behind the driving device 9 irradiates spotlight M at a predetermined position of the sheet-like member C through the gap S _1, behind the driving device 9 (Spotlight M can be irradiated from the top toward the front side).

  Accordingly, even if the thickness of the sheet-like portion C material is changed, the position of the spotlight M hitting the surface of the sheet-like member C is not shifted laterally, and the snap fastener can be attached without performing troublesome optical axis adjustment. There is no risk of the interval L going wrong.

  In addition, when irradiating the spotlight M from the rear upper part of the driving tool 9 toward the front side, when the thickness of the sheet-like member C changes, the position of the spotlight M hitting the surface of the sheet-like member C shifts in the front-rear direction. However, the displacement in this direction does not greatly affect the snap fastener attachment interval L, so there is no practical problem. However, as shown in FIG. The snap fastener can be attached with the edge of the sheet-like member C applied to the rising piece 71 of the work table 70 and the edge of the sheet-like member C positioned in the front-rear direction. Misalignment of the fastener mounting position can be eliminated.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the marking projector 72 is swung around the fulcrum shaft 73 against the spring 74 by rotating the adjusting tool 75 with an appropriate tool 76, and the surface of the sheet-like member C Since the position of the spotlight M hitting can be adjusted in the front-rear direction, even when the snap fastener attaching operation is performed without attaching the work table 70, the snap fastener attaching position in the front-rear direction can be eliminated.
