Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a device for making bias tape for finishing and/or decorating garments or the like, and more particularly to a device that folds and presses a flat strip of bias cut fabric into a single fold bias tape.
- 2. Description of the Relate Art
- Bias tape is made from fabric strips that are cut along the bias grain. Because fabric cut on this grain has a great deal of stretch, the tape fits smoothly around curves without adding unnecessary bulk. Bias tape can be used in place of a facing to finish curved edges, such as armholes, necklines of garments, as well as to finish the edges of many household decorative items, such as quilts and place mats.
- There are two types of bias tape—single-fold and double-fold. Single-fold bias tape actually has two folds—one running along each long edge of the tape. When single-fold bias tape is used to finish an item, it is stitched to the item edge with right sides together, and then it is turned to the inside of the item and stitched again. The tape never shows on the outside of the garment.
- Bias tape is commercially available, however, often there are numerous devices available to fold custom single-fold bias tape. U.S. Pat. No. 1,018,227 discloses a bias band maker wherein a fabric strip is passed through the band to produce folds along the longitudinal ends. Thereafter, a conventional iron can be used to press the edges in place.
- A more recent bias tape maker enables a strip of fabric to be passed between an inner and outer shell to produce a pair of longitudinally extending folds. A strip of fusible tape can also be incorporated between the folds. Thereafter, the folds can be fixed or set by ironing. See U.S. Pat. No. 6,641,516.
- It is burdensome and dangerous to set the folds with an iron or other conventional pressing means. Often the bias tape needs to be of long lengths and the edges can become unfolded or uneven during pressing of the strip.
- Thus, there is a need for a bias tape maker that folds a strip of material and thermally sets the folds in an even and expeditious manner.
- It is therefore an aspect of the present invention to provide a bias tape maker having a strip folding and thermal fold setting capability.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a bias tape maker device that has a pressing device that presses the folds without the user having any contact with the heating elements.
- Yet another aspect of the bias tape maker is to accommodate the creation of multiple sizes of a single-fold bias tape.
- Still another aspect of the bias tape maker of the present invention is to enable different types of material to be pressed by providing temperature adjustability and control of the heating assembly.
- According to these and other aspects of the present invention there is provided a bias tape making device including a housing, a spindle rotatably disposed in the housing for supporting a strip of fabric, at least one bias tape folding tip located in the housing in communication with the spindle for folding the strip of material into a bias tape having folded longitudinal edges, and a heated pressing assembly disposed in the housing for receiving the bias tape and setting the folded longitudinal edges of the bias tape.
- The present invention further provides for a method of making a folded bias strip including the steps of providing a bias tape making device, the bias tape making device including a housing, a spindle rotatably disposed in the housing for supporting a strip of material, at least one bias tape folding tip located in the housing in communication with the spindle and a heated pressing assembly disposed in the housing for receiving the bias tape. The length of fabric strip is wrapped on the spindle and the fabric strip is passed through the bias tape folding tip. The tip folds the strip of material into a bias tape having folded longitudinal edges. Thereafter, the folded bias tape is passed through the heated pressing assembly and the folded longitudinal edges of the bias tape are pressed.
