BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for mounting socks on a foot in a sock finishing machine, and in order to finish the panty hose as a set, panties are placed on a pair of feet that face each other. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock wearing method and device in which a stocking is worn while twisting inward from a leg to a toe.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A sock finishing machine, which has been most popular in the past for automatically setting finishes for banti stockings, has a steam heating set room, a drying room, a sock extracting section, and a sock mounting section arranged in sequence on an endless track. Then, a plurality of carriages that stand upright on the endless track are provided, and the carriage with the pantyhose attached to the endless mold is moved along the endless track to sequentially pass through the steam setting chamber, drying chamber, and extraction section. As a result, the sleeping pantyhose is set and the pantyhose after the set is automatically pulled out from the foot mold.

By the way, the pantyhose set and finished by the sock finishing machine has different foot shapes depending on the product form, and the pantyhose generally called a popular product (low-priced product) is shown in FIG. 7A. 8A is used, and the panty hose is set and finished to have a flat shape (FIG. 7B). On the other hand, the pantyhose called a luxury item (branded product) uses a pair of feet that face each other and have a heel part and a toe part as shown in FIG. 9A. It will be set and finished in the shape (FIG. 9B).

A foot mold 10 shown in FIG. 7A is made of a plate-shaped material on one surface, and an upper part of an integrated lower base 11 is made into a mold plate having bifurcated leg parts 12, 13 and the tip of each mold plate. Is formed in an arc shape. As a result, pantyhose P is the widthwise center position of the seam S1 of the panty portion P ₁ as shown in the figure footprint, also seams S2 of the toe portion each mold plate 12 is attached to the foot shape 10, 13 are arranged along the arcuate peripheral edge of the tip 13.

As described above, the panty hose P attached to the foot mold 10 is set in a flat shape having the same shape as the foot mold, and the panty hose P (FIG. 7B) taken out from the foot mold after finishing the setting is For the next wrapping, first, it is folded in two in the width direction (FIG. 7C), and after the mount 14 is supplied, it is properly folded in the length direction (FIG. 7D) and wrapped.

The foot mold 20 shown in FIG. 8A is made of a pair of plate-shaped materials whose lower bases are separated, and the tip ends of the mold plates 22 and 23 forming the legs are the same as those of the foot mold 10. 8A is formed in a circular arc shape in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, one template 22 is attached to a carriage (not shown) so that one template 22 rotates to the other template 23 side so that the two-fold double folding can be freely opened and closed.

The finishing of the panty hose P set by the above-mentioned foot mold 20 is carried out in each work of mounting the panty hose to the foot mold, steam setting and drying.
Shows a side-by-side state (FIG. 8A), and at the time of the final extraction work, one mold plate 22 of the fixed form 20 is rotated toward the mold plate 23 side and extracted in a two-fold double-folded state (FIG. 8B). As a result, the panty hose P extracted from the foot mold 20 is extracted in the state of FIG. 7C in which the pantyhose P has a planar shape and is already folded in half in the width direction.

As described above, since the mold plates 22 and 23 of the foot mold 20 are constructed so that they can be opened and closed by folding in half, the mounting structure to the carriage is slightly more complicated than that of the foot mold 10. However, due to the ease of removing the panty stocking quigg from the foot mold in the two-fold state and the fact that a part of the next folding and packaging process can be omitted, labor saving,
Due to advantages such as efficiency, the adoption of a foot mold that can open and close in two has recently closed the mainstream.

The foot mold 30 shown in FIG. 9 (A) is made of a pair of plate-shaped materials (two pieces) facing each other, and the tip ends of the mold plates 32 and 33 constituting the legs are: It is formed in an inclined shape having a heel portion to a toe portion. Therefore, the state the panty slip King P mounted on the footprint 30 is the aforementioned footprint 10 and 20 90 ° out position, i.e., the seam S ₁ of the panty portion P ₁ is of the two mold plates 32 and 33 The seam S _{2 at} the position of the toe portion of the toe portion is arranged so as to straddle the front and back surfaces of the tip of the toe formed on each template.

The pantyhose P mounted on the foot mold 30 and finished in a set has a three-dimensional shape set along the wearer's leg line as shown in FIG. 9B, which results in a good fit and a heel. By putting the part on the front and folding it (Fig. 9C) and wrapping it, a high-class feeling can be created.

[0011]

As described above, in order to complete the set of panty hose, conventionally, three types of foot molds have been used, and the foot molds are matched to these foot molds. Since the shape and mounting structure of the vertically supported carriage are different, it is difficult to use the above three types of foot molds in common with the same sock finishing machine. For this reason, conventionally, a sock finishing machine is used for each foot mold. I used it as a dedicated machine.

[0012] By the way, although pantyhose has conventionally been in the form of mass production and mass consumption of small varieties, in recent years, products with support and zokki with increased strength have been developed one after another, and at the same time as consumers. Combined with individualization, the pantyhose production form has also changed to a large variety and small lot production.

Due to such changes in the production of pantyhose, the set finishing process is also inefficient and costly in the conventional manner, and therefore many pantyhose manufacturers have come to expect that the pantyhose manufacturers will be unable to complete the process. Both a flat-shaped foot mold and a three-dimensional foot mold that has a heel part, and a pair of two-faced (two-piece) foot-shaped structure (opening and closing mechanism omitted for carriage) The same sock finishing machine by simplifying the work of exchanging foot molds according to the type, by standardizing the carriages that stand and support these foot molds (equal shape and structure) It is possible to efficiently perform the set finishing of various kinds and small lots.

However, the above-mentioned measures have no problem in setting the panty hose in a three-dimensional shape by using the foot mold having the heel portion, but in the case of setting the flat shape in the plane, There is a problem with the work of putting on pantyhose.

That is, when trying to attach the pantyhose to the pair of foot molds from the beginning, the pantyhose to be mounted on the foot mold is mounted in the state shown in FIG. 9A described above, which is a flat set finish. I can't.

Therefore, conventionally, when the pantyhose is attached to the two-legged foot mold, the seam of the panty portion is pulled in one direction to be superposed and twisted from the leg portion to the toe portion in the superposed direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the seam of the toe portion is attached along the peripheral edge of the arcuate tip of each template. The overlapping of the seams and the twisting work from the legs to the toes are manually performed by the operator.

However, this kind of manual work requires a high technique of alternately twisting one by one from the leg part attached to the foot mold to the toe part by hand, and the set finish is uniform. It is difficult to obtain and there is a problem that the work takes time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the seam superposition of the panty portion of the panty hose attached to the pair of foot molds facing each other,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sock wearing method and device that can obtain a uniform set finish by automatically performing the twisting work from the leg part to the toe part and improve the work efficiency. .

[0019]

To achieve the above object, a first invention is to insert a panty portion of panty hose into the upper part of a pair of foot molds facing each other, and to insert the panty portion. Is pulled inward on one side to overlap and hold the seam portion, and in this overlapped and held state, the panty part is pulled down along the lower part of the foot mold, and from the leg part to the toe part is twisted inward, and on the footsteps. It is designed to be attached.

In the same manner as the second invention, the second invention is arranged on one side of a pair of foot molds facing each other, and is supported so as to be able to move toward and away from the foot mold and to be vertically movable along the foot mold. Means for pulling the panty portion of the pantyhose inserted into the upper part of the foot mold toward one side inward direction to overlap and hold the seam portion, and the overlapped seam portion. And a means for holding the welt end.

[0021]

When the panty portion of the panty hose is inserted into the upper part of the pair of two members facing each other in the upright state, the mounting member is first moved toward the foot mold, and then the holding member is rotated to move the panty portion. By pulling inwardly on one side to overlap and hold the seam portion, and holding the overlapped seam portion welt end with a gripping member, lower the mounting member and pull down the panty portion along the lower part of the foot mold. , From the uninserted leg part to the toe part, mount them on the foot mold while twisting each other inward.

[0022]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 6, reference numeral 50 designates a foot for finishing panty hose P, which is composed of a pair of template plates 52 and 53 facing each other. It is erected and supported by a carriage movably provided on an endless track of the finishing machine.

Each of the template plates 52, 53 is made of a plate-shaped material on one surface, each tip portion is formed in an arc shape, and a tack plate 54 is arranged in the gap of the lower base portion.

The sock mounting member 5 is provided on one side of the foot mold 50.
5 is arranged so that the mounting member 55 can move toward and away from the foot mold 50 (between the standby position shown in FIG. 1 and the approach position to the foot mold shown in FIG. 3) and the foot mold 50. It is connected to and supported by a suitable agitation means such as a cylinder or a chain transfer mechanism so that it can be moved up and down along the line (between the upper position of the foot mold shown in FIG. 3 and the lower position of the foot mold shown in FIG. 5). There is.

At the upper and lower positions of the mounting member 55, a holding member for pulling the panty portion P ₁ of the panty stocking P inserted into the upper part of the foot mold 50 inward in one direction and overlappingly holding the seam S _1. 60 and a gripping member 70 that holds the stitched welt end W that is overlapped and held are arranged at intervals substantially equal to the entire length of the crotch portion of the panty portion P ₁ .

The holding member 60 is formed of an L-shaped plate-like member as shown in FIG.
5 so that the free arm portion 62 can be pivoted 90 degrees in the vertical (FIG. 3) direction from the horizontal (FIG. 1) by a suitable driving means such as a cylinder pivotally supported by a bracket 56 protruding to the front surface of 5. I am configuring.

On the other hand, the grip member 70 is a fixed grip 71.
And a movable gripper 72, and is provided on a bracket 57 projecting to the front surface of the mounting member 55, like the holding member 60.

The sock mounting device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, each mold plate 5 of the foot mold 50.
The panty hose P having the panty portion P1 inserted over the upper portions of the reference numerals 2, 53 is in a state in which the leg portion in the uninserted state to the toe portion are extended upward by appropriate suction means (not shown). Is arranged at a position facing the mounting member 55. Then, the seam S ₁ of the panty portion P ₁ at this time is, as shown in the figure and FIG. 2, arranged in the gap between the mold plates 52 and 53 across the widthwise sides of the mold plates.

In the initial state, the mounting member 55 is at a position separated from the foot mold 50 that is arranged face-to-face, the free arm portion 62 of the holding member 60 is in the horizontal position, and the gripping member 70 is a grip 71. , 72 are waiting in the released state.

From the above initial state, first, the mounting member 55 moves forward and approaches one side of the foot mold 50, so that the free arm portion 62 of the holding member 60 enters between the leg portions extended upward. , The movable gripper 72 of the gripping member 70 is formed on each template 5
It will be arranged in the gap of 2, 53 (state shown by the chain line in FIG. 3).

When the free arm 62 is then rotated 90 ° from the horizontal to the vertical in the above state, the panty portion P ₁ inserted in the foot mold 50 is pulled inward on one side of the foot mold. , The seam S ₁ is overlapped and held on one side of the foot mold by the free arm portion 62. As a result, the panty part P
_The fabric portion from _{1 to the} leg portion is pulled from the state shown in FIG. 2 so as to twist inward as shown in FIG.

[0034] When the seam S ₁ of the panty portion P ₁ is polymerized held by the free arm part 62, movable jaws 72 of the next gripping member 70 is operated, the polymerization retained the seam S ₁ of the welt end W Hold in.

Then, the panties inserted in the foot mold 50
Department P₁Seam S ₁Are polymerized and held, and their welt ends W
When held, the mounting member 55 is then moved to the foot mold shown in FIG.
From the upper position of 50 to the lower base position of the foot mold shown in FIG.
It was inserted into the foot mold by descending along the foot mold.
Panty part P₁Is the holding member 6 in the above-mentioned polymerization holding state.
It will be pushed down at the base 61 of 0,
As a result, the legs are not inserted into the foot mold, and
It is mounted on each mold plate 52, 53 of the mold.

When the leg portion is attached to each template of the toe portion, the cloth portion of the panty portion P1 is attached while being twisted inward on one side by the holding member 60, so that the leg portion is removed. Similarly, the toe portion is also mounted on the template while twisting inward as shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, and due to this twisting phenomenon, the seam S ₂ of the toe portion causes the tip S of each template to move. It is attached along the arc-shaped peripheral edge formed on the.

The panty portion P _{1 which} is mounted on the foot mold so as to be pushed down by the base portion 61 of the holding member 60 has its welt end W held by the holding member 70, and the holding member 70 holds it. Also, since the panty portion P ₁ does not contract between the crotch portions or is not tensioned when the device is mounted, it can be mounted on the foot mold without any trouble. It is done.

In this way, when the work of mounting the panty hose P on the foot mold by the mounting member 55 is completed,
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the holding member 60 is rotated back by 90 ° to release the overlapping holding of the panty seams, and
After releasing the grip of the welt end W by the gripping member 70, the mounting member 55 is retracted in the direction away from the foot mold 50 (FIG. 6) and returned to its original position to complete one cycle of sock mounting work. To do.

Even if the holding of the panty seams by the holding member 60 is released, the seams of the seams are overlapped and the tack plate 5 is located at the lower base of the foot mold 50.
Will be maintained by 4. Therefore, the panty hose P attached to the foot mold 50 is sequentially set in the state shown in FIG. 6 by passing through the steam heat setting chamber and the drying chamber.
It is removed from the mold at the extraction part.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention, by simply inserting the panty portion of the panty hose into the upper part of the pair of mating legs, the subsequent mounting work from the leg portion to the toe portion is performed. The panty part is pulled inward on one side to overlap the seams, and the leg part to the toe part can be automatically installed while twisting inward, resulting in a uniform set finish. Therefore, the labor of the worker is remarkably reduced, and the efficiency of the work is greatly improved.
