At time t5 shown in FIG. 10, which is immediately before time t4 when the thread 85 stops feeding out, the catcher 100 starts the closing action as shown in FIG. The closing operation stops at time t6 when the tip of the is clamped. In this way,
With the thread 85 being held by the catcher 100, the needle 93 continues its upward movement until time t7 shown in FIG. At time t7, the hand 93 returns to its original state as shown in FIG. 9.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, at time t8 after time t6, the upper clipper 97 and the lower clipper 98 perform forward movement until time t7. Referring also to FIG. 11, between time t8 and time t7, upper wire 101 and lower wire 104 are cut to a predetermined length as shown in FIG. 11, and as shown in FIG. A clasp T is formed which is bent into a V-shape so that it can be held in place. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the stopper T moves to a position surrounding the thread 85.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper clipper 97 and the lower clipper 98 start the closing operation at time t7, and at time t9, when the closing operation is stopped, the end of the stopper T is closed as shown in FIG. is locked, and the stopper T is fixed to the thread 85. In this way, the upper stopper T1 and the lower stopper T2 shown in FIG. 9 are fixed to the thread 85. At time t9, the upper clipper 97 and the lower clipper 9

In the embodiment described above, the scallop S is attached to the rope R using two clasps T1, T2, as shown in FIG. 12.

Although the above-described embodiment describes the attachment of the scallop S, if paper or the like is used as the workpiece, it is not necessary to drill an attachment hole in the paper or the like prior to operating the needle 93. Further, instead of the thread 85, a material having high strength such as wire may be used. In such a case, even if a small piece of the workpiece enters the needle 93 when the needle 93 is inserted into the workpiece, the small piece or the like will not be exposed to the outside when the wire is inserted into the needle 93. Can be extruded. Furthermore, in place of the needle 93 explained in FIG. 6A,
Needle 9 having a long groove 160 as shown in FIG.
3a may also be used.

00, and FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing the mounting device 2.
00, and FIG. 17 is a partially cutaway side view thereof. Note that parts corresponding to those in the embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals. The attachment device 200 of this embodiment is equipped with a sewing machine device 201 as a sewing means in place of the shell attachment means 24 of the attachment device 20 described in the previous embodiment. Note that the other configurations except for the sewing machine device 201 are the same as the mounting device 20 described in FIGS. 1 to 14, and the explanation will be omitted to avoid duplication. Sewing machine device 2
01 is equipped with a needle 202 that is driven up and down by a driving means (not shown), and a bed 205 equipped with a hook 203 and a driver 204 as shown in FIG. 17 is provided below this needle 202. . On the upper surface of this bed 205 and directly below the needle 202, a guide piece 206 serving as a guide means for guiding the rope R is fixed with a screw 207. This guide piece 206 is a pair of parallel guide plates 206 whose both sides abut in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rope R.

The rope R fitted between the holes B can be positioned directly below the attachment hole 22 of the scallop S located at the third position P3. As a result, the index table 21 rotates in the rotation direction A around the rotation axis l1.
Even if the scallop S rotated downstream and gripped by the gripping means 27 is displaced toward the downstream side in the rotational direction A while being sewn to the rope R, the rope R is held between the guide plates 206a and 206b. It is possible to guide the robot to move along a fixed path while remaining stuck in the vehicle.

At m4, the drill blade 29 descends, and as shown in FIG. 19, the mounting hole 22 is drilled in the hinge portion of the scallop S.

Next, in step m5, as shown in FIG. 19, the index table 21 is angularly displaced by 90 degrees and the scallop S is placed at the third position P3.
The scallop attachment hole 22 is located directly below the needle 202 and directly above the rope R. In this state, at step m6, the attachment hole 22 of the scallop S and the rope R are connected to the thread 280 as shown in FIG.
(for example, 6 to 8 stitches). In addition, when sewing in this way, the rope R is attached to the guide piece 2.
Since the needle 2 is guided while being fitted into the
It does not deviate from the movement path of 02 and is supplied to a constant position.

In this way, the scallop S attached to the rope R
In step m7, the index table 21 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 19 while being fixed to the gripping means 27.
When it is rotated as shown in FIG. 19, it is sent out along with the rope R by a distance l toward the guide plate 32 as shown in FIG. During such a feeding operation, in step m9, the locking piece 54 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 comes into contact with the abutment member 30, thereby causing an angular displacement of the locking piece 54. As a result, the clamped state of the scallop S is released as shown in FIG. 19, and the index table 21 is moved to the fourth position shown in FIG. 19 in step m10.
Return to P4. The scallops S attached to the rope R in this way are sequentially passed through the guide plate 32 to the container 31.
stored inside.

Effects According to the present invention, since the workpiece can be automatically attached to the elongated body, the working time can be significantly shortened. Further, since the workpiece is firmly and reliably attached to the elongated body, it is prevented that the workpiece is easily removed after being attached to the elongate body. Therefore, work efficiency is further improved, and the workpiece can be mounted quickly and reliably.

In particular, according to the present invention, since the rotating body 21 having the vertical axis of rotation l1 is provided with the gripping means 27 corresponding to each of the stop positions P1 to P4, the operator can manually hold the workpiece S. By simply placing the workpiece S on the placing part 36b of the gripping means 27 and angularly displacing the pressing plate 40, the workpiece S can be moved between the pressing plate 40 and the placing part 3.
6b. Therefore, there is no need for the operator to support the workpiece until it is grasped by hand, resulting in good workability.

Furthermore, when the gripping means 27 rotates from the third position P3 toward the downstream side in the rotational direction due to the rotation of the rotating body 21, the contact portion 54b of the locking piece 54 contacts the release means 30 provided on the base 26. As a result, the gripping state of the workpiece is automatically released, so that there is no need for the operator to release the gripping state of the workpiece S by the gripping means 27 through an operation by the operator, thereby reducing the labor of the operator. can do. Moreover, since the release means 30 is provided downstream of the third position P3 by a distance l in the rotational direction A, the workpiece S attached to the longitudinal body R is moved to the third position by the gripping means 27.
From P3, it will be transported downstream in the rotational direction A by a distance l, and therefore, the longitudinal body R will be transported by a length corresponding to the distance l. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate means for feeding the rope, and the configuration does not become complicated.

Further, the workpiece S and the longitudinal body R are connected to the sewing means 2.
01 using the thread 280, the time required for attachment is shorter than, for example, a structure in which a wire or the like is inserted through the workpiece S and the longitudinal body R to lock them together. The cost is also low.

Furthermore, since the workpiece S gripped by the gripping means 27 is elastically clamped by the receiving ring 37 and the pressing ring 51, the operator can hold the workpiece S by the gripping means 27. 27, even if the lever 150 is operated with unnecessarily large force, there is no risk of damage even if an undesirably large pressing force is applied to the workpiece S. 150 while adjusting the pressing force acting on the workpiece S, the workpiece S can be easily attached to the gripping means 27, and work efficiency is improved. I can do it.
