Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sample folding and pasting machine, and more particularly to a sample folding and pasting machine that is capable of continuously folding a sample and pasting it onto a mount.

In conventional fabric sample books, many of the samples cannot be touched by hand, and even if they are touchable, they are simply a stand; one end of the sample is pasted onto a piece of paper. It was just a matter of holding the sample between your fingers and feeling the feel of the front and back of the sample.

Therefore, in order to effectively feel the surface of the sample by hand, the sample had to be pinched or folded between the fingers. In addition, the appearance was also not favorable. This invention was made under these circumstances, and by bending the sample at different angles and pasting both ends on a mount, it is possible to effectively feel the feel of the surface of the sample with your hands, and it is possible to obtain a good texture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sample folding machine capable of continuously obtaining sample sheets having a display effect.

According to this invention, there is a magazine section that stores a large number of samples in a stack and can push the samples upward or move itself up and down, and when the magazine section rises, it descends to suction and adhere one end of the sample, and then rises. a vertically and horizontally movable suction head section that bends the sample through a guide and transfers it laterally; A sample folding unit comprising: a suction board part that determines the bending position so as to be shifted; and a sample pasting part that pastes both ends of the sample, whose bending positions are determined, to a mount using adhesive and pressure from the suction head part. A pasting machine is provided.

Hereinafter, the process of producing a sample booklet using the sample folding machine of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sample folding machine which is an embodiment of the present invention.

When producing a sample book, first, a magazine 2 that stores a large number of samples 1 is placed in a lower air cylinder 3 at the bottom.
The sample 1 is pushed upward by the lower air cylinder 3. Just before that, the suction head 4 is lowered by the drive of the upper air cylinder 5 and reaches the position of the guide plate 6. The suction head 4 is connected to a vacuum pump 7, and the right end of the uppermost layer of the stacked samples 1 is suctioned and brought into close contact with the stacked samples 1 by the operation of the vacuum pump. Simultaneously with the suction, the upper air cylinder 5 is driven and the suction head 4 is raised. Shortly before the suction head 4 rises, the lower air cylinder is driven to remove the sample 1.
is descending. The raised suction head 4 then moves laterally to the left from position A. The sample whose first end is aspirated is bent onto the guide plate 6. Next, the suction head 4, which moved laterally to the left while suctioning one end of the bent sample, stops at position B and descends a little. At this time, the vacuum pump 9 is activated, and the suction disk 8 sucks the other bent end of the sample, and the bending position of the sample is determined here. The bending position is determined so that one end and the other end of the sample can be attached to the mount with a slight offset. As soon as the bending position is determined, the vacuum pump 9
stops, and the suction between the suction disc and the other end of the sample is released. Thereafter, the suction head 4 further moves laterally to the left, reaches position c on the mount 10, and stops.

The suction head 4 then releases the sample, places it on the adhesive-coated mount 10, and then descends to press both ends of the bent sample onto the mount. The suction head 4 then returns to position A. The mount 10 is sent out via a drum 11, and adhesive is applied to predetermined locations by a roll 12.

Note that the mount 10 may be one that has already been coated with an adhesive and dried. In that case, it is sufficient for the roll 7 to apply only water to the mount. If a heat-sealable adhesive is used, it is not necessary to use the roll 7, but it is necessary to be able to heat the suction head. In this way, samples are successively pasted onto the mount one after another, and the mount with a predetermined number of samples pasted is cut.

In this case, the samples are not of the same type, but many types are loaded in the magazine section in an orderly manner, so the mount is cut after a series of types of samples are pasted.
A perspective view of the sample booklet produced by such a process is shown in the second figure.
As shown in the figure. According to the sample folding machine of the present invention as described above, since the samples are folded and pasted, it is possible to effectively feel the texture of the front surface by hand, and the sample folding machine with good display effects can be continuously produced. It is possible to obtain.
