DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a mold piece editing apparatus embodying the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mold piece editing apparatus of this embodiment. The mold piece editing apparatus of this embodiment comprises a CPU 1 for controlling the whole, a memory 2, a CRT 3 as a display means for displaying the mold piece, and a mouse 4 for designating a position on the mold piece displayed on the CRT 3. Become.

The memory 2 has a data area 20, a program area 23, and a temporary storage area 24. The data area 20 is a mold piece data area 21 as a mold piece storage means for storing information such as finish lines of sewing pieces such as clothing and sewing margin lines.
And a fabric pattern data area 22 as a pattern storing means for storing a pattern to be printed on the mold piece. In the mold piece data area 21, line type information of a straight line or a curved line of the mold piece, its length and the like are stored. The cloth pattern is represented by repeating a rectangular basic pattern, and the cloth pattern data area 22 stores basic patterns of plural kinds of cloth patterns in a bitmap format. In the program area 23, a program for controlling the mold piece editing device is stored. The temporary storage area 24 is for temporarily storing data while a program for controlling the mold piece editing device is being executed.

Next, the operation of the mold piece editing apparatus having the above structure will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS.

When the power is turned on, CPU 1 performs the following processing according to the program stored in the program area. First, the CPU 1 determines that the cloth pattern data area 22
Basic patterns of multiple types of fabric patterns stored in CRT
Display in 3. Then, the user uses the mouse 4 to select, from the plurality of displayed fabric patterns, the fabric pattern to be assigned to the mold piece (step 31, hereinafter, step is represented by S). Next, the CPU 1 uses the mold piece data area 2
The mold piece stored in No. 1 is displayed on the CRT 3. The user
Select the displayed template with the mouse 4 (Y in S32
ES), the selected mold piece is enlarged and displayed on the CRT 3 (S33).

After that, the cloth pattern is assigned inside the finish line of the mold piece displayed on the CRT 3. In particular,
By matching the origin of the cloth pattern stored in the cloth pattern data area 22 with the origin of the cloth pattern stored in the cloth piece data area 21, the inside of the mold piece surrounded by the finish line is selected. It is filled with the dough pattern (S34). Next, the CPU 1 calls a subroutine for performing a process of assigning a material pattern to the seam allowance portion (S35).
A detailed description of this subroutine processing will be given later with reference to FIG. After that, the CPU 1 shifts the processing to S32. On the other hand, in the process of S32, when there is no mold piece to be selected (NO in S32), all the processes are finished.

Next, the above-mentioned subroutine processing will be described.

The outline of this subroutine processing is to check the color on the finish line of the mold piece at regular intervals, draw a perpendicular line to the finished line at the position where the color has changed, and place it on the place surrounded by the perpendicular lines. , Assigning that color. Points to be investigated at regular intervals are called selection points.

Further, the details of the subroutine process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the subroutine is called, the starting point of the finished line of the mold piece is set as the selection point (S41), and the following processing is performed until the starting point is reached again while the selection point moves on the finishing line. The color of the fabric pattern on the selected point is checked, and the color is set as C1 and the temporary storage area 24
(S42). Next, a straight line L1 is drawn perpendicularly to the finish line from the start point of the finish line which is the selected point to the sewing margin line, and the information of the straight line L1, the start point and the end point, etc. are stored in the temporary storage area 24 (S43). Here, it is checked whether or not the selected point exceeds the starting point of the finished line again (S44),
If it does not exceed, the process proceeds to the next process (Y in S44).
S), if the selected point again exceeds the starting point of the finished line (S
If NO at 44), this subroutine process is terminated.

In the case of YES in S44, the CPU 1 moves the selected point by the distance d with the finish line being a constant interval (S45). The distance d is equal to or higher than the resolution of the printer that prints the mold pieces, and is within a distance (for example, 1 mm) that is acceptable as a pattern deviation in the print result. Next, the CPU 1
The color of the cloth pattern on the moved selected point is checked, and the color is stored in the temporary storage area 24 as C2 (S46). If the colors C1 and C2 stored in the temporary storage area 24 are the same (YES in S47), the CPU 1 shifts the processing to S44. On the other hand, if the colors C1 and C2 are different (S47
No), the CPU 1 draws a straight line L2 perpendicular to the finish line from the selected point to the sewing margin line, and stores the information of the straight line L2, the start point, the end point, etc. in the temporary storage area 24 (S4).
8), the seam allowance portion between the finish line and the seam allowance line is a straight line L1.
And the range surrounded by the straight line L2 is filled with the color C1 (S4
9). After that, the CPU 1 changes the information of the straight line L1 stored in the temporary storage area 24 into the information of the straight line L2, and the information of the color C1 into the information of the color C2 (S50), and S4.
Move to 4.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the pattern 104 is assigned to the mold pieces 100 and 107. Further, the mold piece 100 and the mold piece 107 are patterned 104.
Are sewn so as to be continuous. In this case,
As shown in FIG. 3, even when the stitching cannot be performed accurately along the finished line 102, the misalignment of the stitching pattern 104 can be made inconspicuous.

The processing step S34 functions as a first symbol assigning means for allocating a symbol within the finish line of the mold piece, and the subroutine of the processing step S35 is a process between the finish line of the mold piece and the seam allowance line. In the seam allowance portion, it functions as a second symbol assigning means for assigning the same symbol as the symbol assigned in the finish line of the mold piece by extending it almost perpendicularly to the finish line.

As is clear from the above description, in the mold piece editing apparatus of the present invention, the mold piece stored in the mold piece data area 21 is displayed on the CRT 3, and the finish line 102 of the mold piece is displayed.
The pattern 104 to be assigned to the inside is read from the material pattern data area 22, the pattern 104 is assigned to the inside of the finish line 102 (processing of S34), and the seam allowance portion 103 between the finish line 102 of the mold piece and the seam allowance line 101. In order to assign the same pattern as the pattern assigned in the finish line 102 of the mold piece to the finish line 102 by extending it substantially perpendicularly (process of S35), the finish line 102 is accurately aligned during sewing. Even when it is not possible to sew by sewing, it is possible to make the deviation of the design of the stitched portion inconspicuous.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above, and within the scope of the invention,
Various changes can be made. For example, in the present embodiment, the fabric pattern is assigned to the entire seam allowance portion, but the outer periphery of the mold piece is designated by the mouse 4 or the like as a range designating means capable of designating the range to which the fabric pattern is allocated to the seam allowance portion. The fabric pattern may be assigned only to the range. In this case, after assigning the fabric pattern to the entire seam allowance portion, the range in which the fabric pattern in the seam allowance portion is not desired to be assigned may be designated by the mouse 4, and the fabric pattern in the designated range may be erased. After assigning the fabric pattern to the inside of the line, after the processing step of S34, the range in which the fabric pattern of the seam allowance portion is not assigned is designated by the mouse 4, and
In the processing step of 35, the fabric pattern may not be assigned in the range designated by the mouse 4.

Further, the range in which the fabric pattern is allocated to the seam allowance portion by the mouse 4 is specified by the distance from the finish line 102, that is, the length in the vertical direction from the finish line 102, and the pattern 104 is allocated to the entire seam allowance portion 103. Instead, the length of the pattern 104 assigned to the seam allowance portion 103 may be variable.

Further, in the present embodiment, in order to assign the fabric pattern to the seam allowance portion, a line is drawn from the finish line to the seam allowance line at a right angle to the finish line, but the angle is slightly within a range close to the right angle. It may be offset.

[0025]

As is apparent from the above description, in the mold piece editing apparatus of the present invention, the mold piece stored in the mold piece storage means is displayed on the display means, and the pattern assigned to the finish line of the mold piece. Is read out, and the design is assigned to the finish line by the first design assigning means, and the seam allowance portion between the finish line and the seam allowance line of the die piece is finished by the second design assigning means. Since the same pattern as the one assigned in the line is extended almost perpendicularly to the finish line and assigned, even when it is not possible to sew along the finish line accurately during sewing, the design of the stitching portion It is possible to make the deviation inconspicuous.

Further, since the range assigning means can designate the range in which the pattern is assigned to the seam allowance portion by the second assigning means, when the design of the seam allowance portion is seen through the table, the range of the seam allowance portion is set. By designating and not assigning a design, it is possible to obtain effects such as improving the appearance of the sewn product.
