Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for folding shirts such as shirts.

When selling a shirt or the like as a product, the shirt or the like is folded and packaged for sale.

Normally, when folding this type of shirt, the dress shirt is folded into a rectangular shape using a backing paper as a core, but when doing so, the shirt is folded taut to avoid wrinkles, and the collar is folded. It must be folded so that it is well-positioned at the center of the top edge of the mount and the buttons are lined up straight underneath. It was difficult to fold it neatly like this and required a high degree of skill.

Particularly in the case of dress shirts, etc., the collar is the most conspicuous part when packaged, and it is extremely important from the standpoint of product value that the collar appears neatly and in good shape.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventionally, when folding shirts and the like, a flat folding table with a collar fitting hole formed in the center of one end and a collar support stand erected within the collar fitting hole has been used. There is. Then, a dress shirt or the like is placed face down on the folding table, and its collar is fitted into the collar fitting hole and placed over the collar support stand for support. After smoothing out the wrinkles and adjusting the shape of the shirt, a mount was placed on top of the shirt, and the sides, sleeves, hem, etc. of the shirt were folded back onto the mount. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The collar support is usually one that matches the shape of the hollow collar of the dog, etc., but if the variety of the dog, such as the dog, and the size of the collar are different, Different collar supports must be prepared accordingly, which increases the cost, and the collar support must be replaced every time the size of the collar of folding shirts, etc. is changed, making it difficult to work. It was hot.

It is also known that a collar support is fitted only to the upper end of the collar, and the collar support is divided into two on the left and right, and the spacing between the two is varied to follow changes in the size of the collar. However, with this one, when the body of the dress shirt is pulled on the folding table to smooth out the wrinkles or adjust the shape, the lower end of the collar is pulled and the collar becomes deformed. Furthermore, after folding, the relatively stiff elasticity of the collar may cause wrinkles in the surrounding area.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and is intended to be used to create shirts whose collars are folded beautifully when folded, and whose specifications can be changed extremely easily even if the variety or size of the collar is changed. The object is to provide a folding assist device.

Means for Solving the Problems The device of the present invention forms a collar fitting hole in the center of one end of the folding table, and has a collar hole in the collar fitting hole that is sufficiently smaller than the boring hole of the collar of the clothes. A collar support stand is erected, and a positioning member that is movable in the length direction of the folding stand and can be fixed at any position is attached to the folding stand, and the tip of the positioning member is inserted into the collar fitting hole. It is characterized in that it protrudes at a position facing the collar support base inside.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the device of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 denotes a folding table, and a collar fitting hole 2 is bored in the center of one end thereof. A collar support stand 3 is erected in the collar fitting hole 2, and the collar support stand 3 is sufficiently smaller than the boring of the collar of a dress shirt or the like to be folded. Further, a clamping piece 4 is attached to the side of the collar support 3 so that it can be opened and closed between it and the circumferential surface of the collar support 3.

On both sides of the collar fitting hole 2, a pair of parallel presser pieces 5, 5 are protruded. The holding pieces 5, 5
is a rod-shaped member having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and is attached to the folding table 1 so that its set positions can approach and separate from each other, and in the set position, the presser pieces 5, 5 are spaced close to each other. It is possible to take a holding position and a release position spaced apart from each other.

The drive mechanism for the holding pieces 5, 5 is shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 6 denotes a threaded member having opposite threads carved into both halves, which is rotatably supported by a bearing 7 below the folding table 1, and rotated via a chain by a sprocket 8 attached to the center. It is becoming driven. A guide rail 9 is installed between the bearings 7 in parallel to the screw member 6.

Reference numerals 10 and 10 indicate base members, which are screwed onto the screw member 6 and slidably fitted into the guide rail 9. By rotating the screw member 6, the base members 10, 10 can slide along the guide rail 9, and the interval between them can be changed, and by stopping the screw member 6, Its position can be set arbitrarily. Air cylinders 11, 11 are attached to the base members 10, 10.

Reference numerals 12 and 12 indicate movable members, which are slidably fitted into the guide rail 9 and attached to the tips of the air cylinders 11, 11. The air cylinders 11 and 11 can be moved along with the movement of the base members 10 and 10, and the air cylinders 11 and
11 relative to the foundation members 10, 10,
A presser position where the movable members 12, 12 are close to each other and a release position where the movable members 12 are spaced apart from each other can be taken.

Supports 13, 13 are erected on the upper surfaces of the movable members 12, 12, respectively. The retaining pieces 5 are attached to the tips of the support columns 13, 13.
5 is fixed. And movable members 12, 12
As the pillars 13, 13 move, the slits 14,
14 to move the presser pieces 5, 5.

A groove 15 is formed in the center of the upper surface of the folding table 1 in the longitudinal direction thereof, and a positioning member 16 is fitted into the groove 15. The positioning member 1
The upper surface of the collar 6 is substantially flush with the surface of the folding table 1, and its tip is formed in a substantially triangular shape and projects into the collar fitting hole 2. The positioning member 16 is slidably fitted into the groove 15 and can be fixed at a desired position. A shallow groove 17 is also carved in the center of the positioning member 16 along its length.

In addition, although this positioning member 16 extends over almost the entire length of the folding table 1 in the drawing, it may extend only at its tip.

Function To use the present invention, first set the position of the presser pieces 5, 5 by rotating the screw member 6 according to the width of the mount used when folding the dress shirt, etc. When moved to the holding position, the mount is pressed and held between the presser pieces 5, 5, and when moved to the release position, the mount is held.

Further, the position of the positioning member 16 is adjusted depending on the breed of the dog and the size of the collar. The positioning member 16 is positioned at the tip of the positioning member 16 when the collar of the dress shirt is fitted into the collar fitting hole 2, placed on the collar support base 3, and held by the clamping pieces 4, and the collar is in the most relaxed state. Set it so that it touches the bottom edge of the collar.

In order to fold a shirt using the device of the present invention, first, the air cylinders 11, 11 are operated to open the space between the presser pieces 5, 5 and set them in the release position. Then, as shown in Fig. 3a, the folding table 1
Lay the dress shirt 18 on top with the front side facing down, insert the collar 19 into the collar fitting hole 2, cover the collar support 3, close the clamping piece 4, and clamp it with the collar support 3. The upper end of the collar 19 of the shirt 18 is held between the piece 4 and the collar 19 of the shirt 18.

In this state, adjust the shape of the collar 19 and make the dress 18.
Smooth out the wrinkles on the body. The lower end of the collar 19 comes into contact with the positioning member 16 in the most relaxed state, so the dress shirt 18 is in this state.
Even when the collar 19 is pulled downward to smooth out the wrinkles in the body, the collar 19 is supported by the tip of the positioning member 16, so it is not deformed or loses its shape, and is maintained in a relaxed state. In this way, the wrinkles are smoothed out, and the button 20 is fitted into the groove 17 to adjust its shape.

Next, the mount 21 is placed in the center of the upper part of the shirt 18, and the mount 21 is positioned at the center. In this state, the air cylinder 11 is operated to move the presser pieces 5, 5 to the presser position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the presser pieces 5, 5 bite into and hold both edges of the mount 21, and the shirt 18 is held between the presser pieces 5, 5 and the mount 21.

In this state, the upper part of the dresser 18 is placed on the mount 2.
1 and the presser pieces 5, 5, and is pulled in the width direction when the presser pieces 5, 5 close, it becomes taut without wrinkles. Further, even if the remaining portion is operated, no force is applied to the portion pressed under the mount 21, and the state will not collapse.

Then, the both sides, sleeves, lower half, etc. of the shirt 18 are folded onto the mount 21 to form the state shown in FIG. 3c.
The procedure for folding these parts may be according to a conventionally known procedure.

After that, the air cylinder 11 is operated again to open the presser pieces 5 and 5 and move them to the release position, and the shirt 18 is neatly folded around the mount 21 and can be folded from the top of the folding table 1. Can be removed. Note that the mount 21 can be used as a part of the packaging as it is, or can be attached to the dress shirt 1 if necessary.
You may pull it out from the top of 8 and package only the shirt and sell it.

Although the above description deals with dress shirts, the present invention can also be applied to similar shirts such as blouses and pajamas in addition to dress shirts.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, the collar 19 is supported by the collar support 3, which is sufficiently smaller than the bore, and the positioning member 16, so the collar 19 can be supported in the most relaxed and natural shape. Moreover, when the wrinkles of the body are smoothed out, the shape of the collar 19 does not collapse or deform.

Therefore, in the folded state, the collar 19 is finished in a stable and natural shape, and since there is no deformation, the collar 19 will not cause wrinkles in other parts due to elastic recovery.

Further, according to the present invention, the collar support stand 3 is a single piece, so there is no need to replace it depending on the type or size, and there is no need to increase the cost, and the positioning member 1
By adjusting the position of 6, it is possible to accommodate differences in product types and sizes, making it extremely easy to change settings.

Although the presser pieces 5, 5 and their drive mechanism are not necessary in the present invention, their provision makes it possible to further prevent deformation of the collar 19 during folding, which is preferable.
