  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a frame for sewing upper pillows A on covering shells B for mattresses C
  • the reference numeral 2 generally designates a machine for sewing upper pillows A on covering shells B for mattresses C.
  • the frame 1 for sewing upper pillows A on covering shells B for mattresses C comprises four perimeter walls 3 .
  • Each one of the walls 3 is perpendicular to the two contiguous walls 3 and comprises at least one laminar portion 4 that constitutes a resting surface: in practice such laminar portion 4 defines a sort of shelf that is co-planar with a lower edge of the respective wall 3 .
  • At least one of the walls 3 comprises at least one locking element 5 for at least one component, selected from between an upper pillow A and a covering shell B, arranged resting on a respective laminar portion 4 .
  • each wall 3 can effectively comprise at least two bands 6 and 7 that are mutually aligned and can slide with respect to each other in order to vary the overall length of the wall 3 that they define.
  • such bands 6 and 7 are angular in shape: the angular bands 6 will define two mutually opposite corner edges of the frame 1 and the angular bands 7 will define the two remaining corner edges (which are also mutually opposite). According to the embodiment described in the accompanying figures, the bands 7 will be accommodated in respective axial cavities of the bands 6 , being able to slide inside them.
  • each wall 3 can comprise at least two coaxial bars, one inside the other, which can slide telescopically in order to vary the overall length of the wall 3 that they constitute: such bands will preferably be associated with laminar elements that are adapted to delimit the surface of each wall 3 .
  • the at least one laminar portion 4 which constitutes the resting surface for the shell B, can extend for the entire length of the respective wall 3 .
  • the laminar portions 4 will define a lower resting border that lies on the plane that contains the lower edge of the walls 3 .
  • each wall 3 will advantageously comprise at least one respective locking element 5 of the at least one component arranged on a respective laminar portion 4 .
  • each locking element 5 is movable from a free configuration, in which one of its ends is spaced from a respective laminar portion 4 , to a coupling configuration, in which the same end faces and is proximate to the respective laminar portion 4 in order to fasten the at least one component, selected from between an upper pillow A and a covering shell B, which is interposed between them.
  • the locking elements 5 can be elastically deformable contoured plates that are pivoted to the wall 3 .
  • locking elements 5 actual clamps that are conveniently pivoted to the wall 3 , sliders that can be locked in preset positions, or any other coupling means that make it possible to stably and detachably fix the shell B and the pillow A on the portion 4 .
  • each wall 3 of the frame 1 is advantageous in terms of the versatility that it assumes: in fact it can be used indifferently for locking shells B and pillows A that are intended for mattresses C for a single bed, for a twin bed, for a double bed and/or mattresses C with nonstandard measurements.
  • the supporting structure 8 comprises movement elements 9 and 10 : in particular these are toothed belts and/or chains that can be coupled to the frame 1 for its entrainment.
  • each frame 1 will be carried out according to two different methods: a first method relates to the transfer of the frame 1 from the loading station (which is generally arranged on one side of the machine 2 ) to a sewing station (which can be arranged at the opposite end, for machines 2 with a simpler structure, or in a central portion of the machine 2 , for machines 2 that are provided with two mutually opposite loading stations).
  • a first method relates to the transfer of the frame 1 from the loading station (which is generally arranged on one side of the machine 2 ) to a sewing station (which can be arranged at the opposite end, for machines 2 with a simpler structure, or in a central portion of the machine 2 , for machines 2 that are provided with two mutually opposite loading stations).
  • the movement imparted by the belts and/or by the chains and provided by a respective actuation motor will be controlled by the sewing operations.
  • a machine 2 that is provided with at least one loading station on multiple superimposed levels: at a lower level there is a frame 1 , which is loaded with the shell B and the pillow A (which are superimposed and locked in place), and which will be transferred to the sewing station, while at an upper level there is a frame 1 that is empty (or which contains a shell B and a pillow A that are mutually interconnected with lines or sections of stitching) for the loading (or unloading) operations.
  • the machine 1 further comprises a guiding track 11 for at least one sewing head 12 ; the sewing head 12 can perform a translational movement along the rail 11 in a direction at right angles to the direction of motion of the frame 1 on the structure 8 .
  • the structure 8 will comprise positively a recess 8 a at the sewing head 12 : such recess 8 a must allow the needle of the sewing head 12 to move to a level lower than that of the structure 8 itself (thus passing through the shell B and the pillow A that are placed on the frame 1 that is arranged on the structure 8 ) in order to complete each stitch via a respective abutment 13 .
  • the frame 1 will preferably have a substantially rectangular shape and will comprise at least one laminar portion 4 that is co-planar with a lower edge thereof; the frame 1 will further comprise at least one locking element 5 for upper pillows A and covering shells B for mattresses C arranged on the at least one laminar portion 4 .
  • the guiding track 11 can be arranged substantially at the centerline of the machine 2 , and in such case the structure 8 will be constituted by a sliding surface of size adapted to the accommodation and movement of at least one frame 1 : such movement elements 9 and 10 , as noted previously, will be of the type selected from between belts, preferably of the toothed type, and chains.
  • This construction choice is dictated by the necessity to precisely define the instantaneous position of the frame 1 at every moment: the presence of teeth (toothed belts) or links (chains) enables a very precise movement of the frame 1 on the structure 8 .
  • the movement elements 9 and 10 are coupled to at least one respective actuation motor that is controlled by a control and management unit which is also associated with the sewing head 12 for the coordinated movement of the head 12 along the track 11 and of the frame 1 , through the elements 9 and 10 , on the structure 8 .
  • the coordinated movement makes it possible to provide lines and portions of stitching of any length, direction, and shape, optionally even with superimpositions thereof, which enable the creation di embroidery, patterns and the like.
  • the expediency of having two separate movement elements 9 and 10 is particularly advantageous in that it makes it possible to keep one frame 1 still (for the loading and unloading operations), while the other is facing toward the sewing head 12 and is moved by the respective element 9 or 10 which is controlled by the movements of the sewing head 12 on the respective rail 11 : the coordination of the two motions described is driven by the control and management unit.
  • the sewing head 12 is functionally associated with a respective abutment 13 (previously mentioned) that is controlled by it: such abutment 13 is adapted to the completion of the sewing operations (comprising thus the elements necessary for the formation of the single stitch, such as the crochet hook and the corresponding spool of thread).
  • a covering shell B for mattresses C on a coupling frame 1 of complementary size and shape to the size and shape of the shell B.
  • the frame 1 must necessarily comprise at least one laminar portion 4 that is co-planar with a lower edge thereof.
  • each wall 3 is in fact constituted by at least two components (for example two bands 6 and 7 ) that can translationally move with respect to each other in order to determine a variation of the overall length of the wall 3 that they define.
  • the stitch lines can have any orientation, shape and/or pattern.
  • the present invention solves the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a frame 1 for sewing upper pillows A on covering shells B for mattresses C which makes it possible to juxtapose the pillow top A and the respective covering shell B in a simplified manner, thus facilitating their subsequent coupling.
  • the machine 2 for sewing upper pillows A on covering shells B for mattresses C is completely automated.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
