1 to 6, FIG. 1 illustrates the process line of the apparatus of the present invention. First, in the present invention, the fixed size cutting section A
, the woven mark fabric woven into a continuous long tape is automatically cut to size as described below, and the individual cut woven mark pieces are folded into two parts and folded into a half-folding member B. It is formed into two folds at the x position by the plate C, and as the two fold member B moves from the x position to the Y position, the two fold member 8 is formed by the heat setting folding member D and the heat setting member E. Heat setting and heat setting and folding are performed on the folded center part of the held two-folded woven mark piece and both wing ends of the two-folded mark piece, and thus the woven mark piece whose processing work has been completed is as follows: It is automatically discharged from the Y position to, for example, a sewing machine M, etc., and the bifolding member B reciprocating in the Necessary parts B, C, D,
The details will be explained in detail in Section E, but as is already clear from the flow of the process line in FIG. The greatest feature is that the sewing machine M can easily provide high-speed supply and processing of the weave mark for the work of sewing the weave mark with the sewing machine M, which is completely unheard of in conventional devices and methods of this type. That's the point. FIG. 2 shows various embodiments of automatic cutting to size of the woven mark fabric woven into a continuous tape shape used in the present invention. There are so many different means that there is no time to waste, and the present invention uses one of them.
As an example, as shown in Fig. 2A, weave mark area 1 is prepared in advance.
Alternatively, as shown in Figure 2, it is possible to form woven marks on the convex portions 2 at regular intervals, and use the convex portions 2 to feed the specified size nails, or as shown in Figure 2, A sensing mark 3 that can be detected by a phototube or other electrical detection member is provided at each fixed size on the fabric, and using this, a fixed size roller feeding method is adopted. Necessary markings such as plants, quality indications, handling precautions, etc. are shown in the marked area 1, and 4 shows the cutting line position of each fixed size. As shown in FIG. 3, the woven mark piece 5 is folded in two by the device of the present invention, with the ends of the two-folded center portion 5a1 and the two-folded wings 5b extending from the center portion 5a being doubled inward. It is shaped like the folded bent ends (seam allowances) 5c, 5c, and at this time, the bent ends 5c, 5c of the center portion 5a are heat set, respectively.

The woven mark fabric 1 can be easily processed by giving it some degree of rigidity (shaping ability) by pasting or the like, but it can of course be applied to any hard or soft fabric. Fig. 5 shows a claw feeding method and fixed size cutting means that utilize the convex portion 2 shown in Fig. 2 A, and as shown in the figure, it correctly guides both sides of the woven mark fabric 1 in the longitudinal direction. The woven mark fabric 1 is fed freely onto a base 7 which is provided with a guide 6, and a linear guide shaft parallel to the base 7 is placed on the feeding side of the base 7, as shown in FIG. 8 is a driving member 9 such as an air cylinder.
A bracket 10 is provided to move forward and backward through the bracket 10, and a support shaft 12 is provided on the bracket 10, which is rotatable by a driving member 11 such as an air cylinder, and extends over the woven mark fabric 1 on the guide 6. A feed pawl 13 is provided at 12 so as to move straight through the bracket 10 and to be rotatable by the support shaft 12, and 14 is a connecting link between the drive member 11 and the support shaft 12.

Further, on the delivery end side of the guide 6, there are disposed a cutting member consisting of a movable upper blade 16 connected to a driving member 15 such as an air cylinder, and a fixed lower blade 17 corresponding thereto. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, the feed pawl 13 is held in a substantially horizontal or slightly downward position and engaged with the convex portion 2, and the feed pawl 13 is moved forward in the figure by the guide shaft 8 of the bracket 10. If the fabric is moved forward by a certain stroke, the woven mark area 1 will become as shown in Figure 2 A.
It is fed out so that the convex part 2 is located at the planned cutting line 4, that is, in front of the cutting member, and is stopped at this position, and the movable upper blade 16
The fixed lower blade 17 may be used to cut the material.The feeding claw 13 that has stopped at this time returns to the starting position, and by pushing the next convex portion 2, the woven mark fabric 1 is fed intermittently with a constant stroke. Cutting is repeated. When the feed pawl 13 returns to the starting position, it is rotated upward by the drive member 11 and the support shaft 12 so as to return without touching the surface of the woven mark fabric 1. In addition, in the case of a woven marked fabric 1 with a deceptive mark 3 on the opening of FIG. 19, the woven marked material 1 is sent onto the base 7, the sensing mark 3 is detected, the woven marked material 1 is stopped, and the movable upper blade 16 and the fixed lower blade 17 cut at the cutting line 4 position in the same manner. However, the above-described means for sending out the woven mark fabric and cutting it to size may be other than the example shown in the figure.
Individual strip-shaped textile mark pieces 5, which are the original form of the finished product illustrated in the figure, can be automatically obtained. This is an example of the contents of the fixed-size cutting section A shown in FIG. FIGS. 7 to 9 show a means for folding in half (half-folding) the woven mark piece 5 in the apparatus of the present invention, which is the folding member B in half shown in FIG.

The ends of the two wings 5b, 5b that follow the bent center portion 5a of the center guide 23b of the weave mark piece 5 are sandwiched and fixed between the guide slopes 23a, 24a. 23c, 23c. In this way, the woven mark piece 5 cut to size is automatically folded into two by the folding plate C of the two-folding member B. The woven mark piece 5 folded in half into a substantially chevron shape in this way is subjected to heat setting and heat setting/folding operations at its folding center 5a and at each end 5c, 5c of both wings 5b, 5b. However, for this purpose, the members illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 12 are used.

That is, what is shown in FIG.
This is a heat-setting folding member D (see FIG. 1) for folding and heat-setting the folded folding member D, and the member D has a pair of folding rotating plates 32, 32 located above and below a fixed bracket 31. A bifurcated link mechanism 34, both movable by pivots 33, 33 and protruding vertically in parallel, for simultaneously reciprocating both pivots 33, 33 and rotating both plates 32, 32 in opposite directions; A drive member 35 such as an air cylinder for operating the mechanism 34 is provided, and each tip of the plates 32, 32 has a tongue piece 32 that removably engages with the edge guides 23c, 23c in the bifold member B.

A series of processing operations are completed as a completed product in which the bent end portions 5c and 5c are heat-set.

The woven mark piece 5 of the finished product processed in this way is moved back from the bifold member B of the heat-set folding member D and the heat-set member E at the Y position, and the upper and lower brace pieces 24, 24 of the bifold member B are further removed. Along with the vertical retraction, for example, as shown in FIG. The center part 5a of the folded mark piece 5 may be pushed out from one side by the extrusion needle 46, and released into the sewing machine M in FIG. 1, or, although not shown, Pressurized air may be ejected from above the fold piece 23 to the target position using an air nozzle, and simple and easy means can be selected and adopted. The individual woven mark pieces 5 obtained by the folded ends of the woven marked fabric 1 are cut into individual woven mark pieces 5 obtained by the folded ends of the woven marked fabric 1 using the regular size cutting member Al of the present invention, the folding member B folding plate C and the folding member D also used for heat setting As is clear from the above explanations, the two-fold shaping process for the paper is carried out as follows.

That is, the long woven mark fabric 1 wound around a reel, drum, etc. is fed by the claw feeding method as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 using the feeding claw 13 using the convex portion 2 shown in FIG. The fabric is cut by a detection member 18'' using the sensing mark 3 shown in the figure, a roller feeding method using an active feeding roller 19, and a cutting member using a movable upper blade 16 and a fixed lower blade 17. The mark piece 5 is introduced from one end into the folding passage formed by the guide slopes 23a, 23a of the fold piece 23 and the brace pieces 24, 24, using the folding member B and the folding plate C shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. , one half of the woven mark piece 5 protruding from the center guide 23b of the fold piece 23 is pushed and inserted into the guide slopes 23a, 24ja by the folding plate C, and automatically folded in half through the guidance of the chevron-shaped shaping slope guide, The folded center part 5a of the two-folded woven mark piece 5 held by the two-folded member B is heat-set by the heat-setting member E, and both wing ends 5C of the woven mark piece 5 are heated.
, 5c, and a heat-setting folding member D that moves forward and backward toward the edge guides 23c, 23c and includes rotating plates 32, 32 and a bending block 36.
Folding and heat setting are done at the same time,
The woven mark piece 5 as a finished product as shown in the third figure can be obtained continuously and automatically. The features of the apparatus of the present invention are that, compared to the conventional cutting of this kind of woven mark material to size and the two-fold shaping processing means for each woven mark piece 5 cut to size, it is significantly easier and requires a minimum number of processed parts. It lies in the point obtained by addition.

In other words, only three steps are required: cutting to size, folding in half, and heat setting including partial folding.
The folding process is quickly performed at the same position by the folding member B and the folding plate C attached thereto. At this time, the fold piece 23 equipped with chevron-shaped guide slopes 23a, 23a1, center guide 23b1, edge guides 23c, 23c, and a pair of brace pieces 24, 24 move the woven mark fabric 1 to be fed out to the guide slope, which is the downward slope. It can be inserted smoothly and lightly into the passages formed by 23a and 24a, and can be inserted using the movement of the marked area itself to be fed out without fear of getting caught and stagnate.The inserted end side can be inserted using the center guide 23b. By hanging the plate main body 27 of the folding plate C
The horizontal chevron-shaped guide slopes 23a, 23a and the corresponding brace pieces 24, 24 can be inserted smoothly and easily into the lower guide slopes 23a, 24a. Side guide slopes 24a, 24
With configuration a, accurate two-folding operation can be obtained regardless of the hardness or softness of the fabric material. Furthermore, the center guide 23b forms and holds the bent center portion 5a, and the edge guide 23c
, 23c and the end portions 5c, 5c that are locked thereto, the bending center portion 5a is heat set and the end portions 5c, 5c are held.
The double folding and heat setting of c can be obtained at the same time in one process, and this is done while the woven mark piece 5 is held and fixed by the folding member B. There are no deviations, distortions, or changes in shape, and the work can be completed quickly and efficiently with a minimum of man-hours. Moreover, according to the method of the present invention, even though the sizing cutting section A is similar to the conventional one, the bifolding member C and the folding plate Cl are disposed close to it, and the folding plate Cl is disposed at the Y position, which is moved from the X position. All of the necessary equipment is sufficient with only four members, the heat-setting folding member D and the heat-setting member E, so the equipment and installation are extremely compact and occupy the minimum space. For example, it can be easily integrated and installed on one side of each sewing machine in a sewing factory. There is no need to worry about the hassle of transporting shaped woven mark pieces to the sewing machine workshop, and the process can be carried out more efficiently without any loss of time or effort by incorporating them into the side of each sewing machine without any trouble.
