Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a flocking material supply device for a flocking machine used for manufacturing wigs.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-37213, a flocking machine has been used in which a long pile yarn is inserted into a base material using a single needle and then flocked. However, hair transplantation for men's wigs is carried out manually by a worker using thin, finite length hair, such as hair cut from the human body and trimmed, to the scalp material one by one using a crochet hook. In addition to requiring skill, it also required a large amount of labor and long working hours, resulting in significant worker fatigue and poor production efficiency. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention holds the middle part of a finite length flocked material in a thin groove of a pushing needle to penetrate the scalp material from the front side to the back side, creates a loop on the back side of the flocked material, and pulls it up. Push the needle through the scalp material from the front side to the back side with a predetermined interval from the penetrating part of the needle, hold the back side loop and pull it up to the front side of the scalp material to create a front side loop in the flocked material. By proposing a hair transplanting machine that transplants hair by inserting the side part of the flocking material on the surface side of the scalp material into the surface side loop and tightening it, productivity can be increased with less labor and without requiring skill. I am trying to get a good hair transplant.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

-G, the above-mentioned hair transplanting material is thin and needs to be transplanted one by one into the scalp material, making it difficult to handle. It is difficult to manually feed and hold the flocking material one by one, and it is especially difficult to hold the flocking material in the narrow groove of the push-in needle. If the hair is misaligned, the length of the flocked hairs will be uneven, and the process after creating the loop on the back side will be difficult to perform. This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to reliably feed the thin flocking material of finite length into the narrow groove of the push needle one by one at a predetermined position, and also to The object of the present invention is to obtain a flocking material supply device for a flocking machine that facilitates the steps after creating a side loop.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention is a device for supplying flocking material to the indentation needle of the above-mentioned hair transplantation machine proposed by the applicant. The supply plate is provided with a pair of openable and closable holders, which are made of a bifold molded product made of a material having flexibility and appropriate frictional resistance against the flocking material, and are spaced apart from each other to hold the flocking material. A cylinder that opens and closes the holder by sucking and discharging air is connected to the holder via an air pipe.

[For use]

The flocking material supply device according to the present invention has a pair of holders fixed to the supply plate in an open state, and a single flocking material is supported on these holders by an automatic separation/take-out device or the like.
Air is discharged by the operation of the cylinder, and the retainers are pressed and closed through the air pipes, thereby tightening the intermediate portion of the flocked material with these retainers. Next, as the supply plate and the holder rotate, the indentation needle descends toward the surface of the scalp material, and the part of the flocking material located between the holders is fed into the thin groove of the indentation needle C1, and then the cylinder. By sucking air in the reverse action and opening the holder, the tightening of the flocked material by the holder is released. In this state, the push needle further descends, bending the part of the hair transplant material between the holders into a two-fold shape, and penetrating the scalp material from the front side to the back side with the push needle, and then inserting the push needle only a small amount. By raising it, a loop is created on the back side of the flocked material, and both sides of the flocked material are supported by open holders and left on the front side of the scalp material. Next, the steps after pulling up the loop on the back side are performed using a pulling needle. When the holder is closed by air discharge from a cylinder, the flocking material is tightened at two places, so the holder is made of a flexible material such as plastic or rubber that has frictional resistance with the flocking material. As a result, the thin flocking material can be held with a large holding force, and even if the flocking machine slides into contact with the descending indentation needle, it will not move from the holding part by the holder. The groove can be supplied through the opening of this groove. In addition, the holder is opened by suction of air by the cylinder, and the tightening of the flocking material by these is released, and in this state, the pushing needle descends and slides the flocking material against the holder, and the part between the sliding holders By making it longer and penetrating the scalp material, the frictional resistance between the flocking material and the holder allows the push needle to hold the flocking material at a predetermined position and create a loop on the back side, and the holder is flexible. Because of this, there is no need to cut the flocked material (furthermore, after forming the back side loops, both sides of the flocked material can be maintained in a state supported by the open holder, and the sides of the flocked material can be attached to the subsequent front side loops). Processes such as submerging the parts are easy to perform.

The claws 176 and 188 are opened respectively, and the suction pipe 275, which has been waiting in the retracted position, moves forward to the right as shown in the figure. The flocked material 90 is brought into contact with or close to the portion between the materials 325 and sucked in from the opening at the tip of the suction pipe 275 to attract the flocked material 90 to the tip of the suction pipe 275 as shown in FIG. In this state, as shown in Figure 0, the suction pipe 275 is moved back to the left and the flocked material 90 is pulled strongly to securely tie the flocked material 90, and as shown in Figure 0, the comb 276 is
As shown in FIG. Fold both sides in a predetermined direction to give the flocked material 90 a curl, and insert both ends of the flocked material 90 into the suction pipe 275. It is removed from the holding member 175, and planting of one piece of flocking material 90 is completed. Thereafter, the holding member 175 returns to its original standby position. In the above-mentioned flocking process, as shown in Fig. 0, the flocking material 90
Although we have described the flocking with a single knot in which only one side member is tied with a loop, the claw 25 of the drawer member 246 shown in Fig.
0,251 to capture the left and right side members between the left and right holders 88 and presser 65 of the flocked material 90, pull these side parts, and pull them through the loop on the surface side of the flocked material 90. Accordingly, it is also possible to easily perform double-knotted flocking in which both sides of the flocked material 90 shown in FIG. Furthermore, as described above, the flocking material 90 is supplied to the thin groove 74 of the push-in needle 8 by the operation of the supply plate 81, the middle part of the flocking material 90 is penetrated to the back side of the scalp material 325 by the push-in needle 8, and then , the loopers 155, 156, and the pushing member 148 cooperate to pass the flocking material 90 into the thin groove 78 of the pulling needle 7 that has penetrated the scalp material 325 diagonally, and the flocking material 90 is pulled out by the pulling needle 7. scalp material 325

After gripping the flocked material 90 pulled out by the pull-out member 246 and tying the flocked material 90 by the pulling operation of the pull-out member 246 to complete one hair transplantation on the scalp material 325, the feeding device operates as shown in FIG. By rotating the scalp material 325 around its axis a small amount at each hair transplanting step, hair can be transplanted in one row at the desired hair transplanting pitch as shown in Figure 0. By sequentially moving the material 325 up and down a small amount, the rows of the flocked hair can be changed, and one flocked material 90 is applied to the entire surface of the scalp material 325.
Hair can be transplanted automatically one by one. Furthermore, if an automatic separation/take-out device which takes out the flocking material one by one and supplies it to the flocking material supplying device 80 is connected to the flocking machine of this embodiment, and this taking-out device and the flocking machine are operated synchronously, the flocking operation can be carried out unattended. can be converted into In this case, the supply plate may be one that reciprocates in a straight line as long as it moves in a direction that intersects the reciprocating direction of the indentation needle, or the supply plate reciprocates while tilting the indentation needle in the vertical direction. If it is movable, it may be fixed to the machine frame or the like. Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, the supply plate that holds the middle part of the flocking material in the thin groove of the pushing needle at a predetermined position on the surface side of the scalp material has flexibility and is suitable for the flocking material. A pair of holders made of a bifold molded product of a material with appropriate frictional resistance is fixed, and a cylinder is connected to these holders via an air pipe, so that the pair of holders can be opened. A thin flocked material is supported in the state where the needle is pressed, and air is discharged by the operation of the cylinder, the holder is closed, and the holder is rotated together with the supply plate, and the push needle is lowered. Supply the part of the flocking material between the holders, then open the holder by suctioning air with the reverse movement of the cylinder, release the tightening of the flocking material by the holder, and in this state, the push needle further descends. Then, bend the part of the flocking material between the holders in two and push the scalp material through the scalp material together with the needle. Then, by raising the pushing needle by a small amount, create a loop on the back side of the flocking material. At the same time, both sides of the flocked material are supported by open holders and left on the surface side of the scalp material.
Next, the steps after pulling up the loop on the back side using the pulling needle are performed, so that the following effects can be obtained. In other words, when the holder is closed, air is discharged from the cylinder to tighten the flocking material in two places, and since the holder is made of a flexible material that has frictional resistance with the flocking material, it is possible to hold the flocking material in a large size. The flocking material can be held by the holding force, and the flocking material slides into contact with the descending indentation needle, and the flocking material does not move from the holding part by the holder, ensuring the predetermined position of the flocking material, and the opening of this groove is inserted into the thin groove of the indentation needle. It can be supplied from In addition, the holder is opened by suction of air by the cylinder, and the push needle is lowered with the flocking material released.
By sliding the flocking material against the holder and lengthening the part of the holder of the flocking material to penetrate the scalp material, the frictional resistance between the flocking material and the holder pushes the flocking material into a predetermined position. It is possible to create a loop on the back side by holding it on the needle, and in this case, since the holder is flexible, there is no need to cut the flocking material, and after creating the loop on the back side, both sides of the flocking material are opened. It is possible to maintain the flocked material in a state where it is supported by the holder, and therefore there is an effect that it is possible to obtain a flocked material supplying device that facilitates the process after creating the back side loop, such as inserting the side part of the flocked material into the front side loop.
