4 Claims.
This invention relates to a turning or reversing mechanism and more particularly to a device for turning or reversing belts, neckties and other tubular garments and the like in the process of their manufacture.
In the formation of tubular articles, such as belts and neckties, the cloth is usually folded upon itself lengthwise and stitched along one edge leaving the raw stitched edge or seam exposed to View. The belt is, thereupon reversed so as to conceal the stitching and seam, thus assuring a neat and attractive article. In other words, the belt is stitched wrong side out and then turned to expose the right side.
'Heretofore, the turning process has usually been performed by pulling the belt or similar garment over a rod or stick; or by fastening a safetypin to one end of the tubular body and threading it through the tubular belting so as to turn the right side out. These make-shift methods, however, are tedious and quite. often difiicult. Furthermore, the closed end of the belt usually remains unturned and has to be subjected to considerable manipulation, particularly if the belt is provided with square corners.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a turning or reversing device which will facilitate and expedite the turning of a tubular garment.
Another object is toprovide a device of this character which will spread the closed end of the garment and strainghten the corners so that further manipulation or picking will be unnecessary.
A further object is to provide a turner or re- Verser which is simple in construction, cheap in manufacture and easy of operation.
Other objects and advantages inherent in the invention will become apparent from the following specification taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan View of a turning or reversing mechanism according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a fractional View and perspective showing the spring fingers for spreading the closed end of the garment.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device in I Another set of brackets I4 and I5 support a re-v ciprocable rod 56 which is adapted to' pass through the hollow stationary tube ill; This rod I6 is also hollow for the purpose which will hereinafter be described.
The bracket It is bolted to the base l3, but the bracket I 5 is slidably mounted on a. pair of horizontal rails l7 and l 8 which in turn are supported in the bracket l4 and bracket I8, the latter bracket is also bolted or otherwise firmly attached to the base II]. t
It will be understood that the tube i6 is slidable in the bushing 28 but is firmly connected to the bracket l5 by the bushing 2 l. a
The tubes H1 and I6 are both interchangeably mounted in their respective brackets by means of bushings I9, 20 and 24, whereby tubes of various diameters may be substituted for turning Buffer springs 26 may be provided between the rod 21 which, at the end facing the tube I0, is
provided with spring fingers 28 which normally are held compressed within the push rod Hi. It will be understood that these spring rods will expand automatically as soon as they are freed from the center of the push rod Hi.
The push rod 2'! extends beyond the bracket 15 and is reciprocable therein against the tension of the spring 29 which is interposed between the bracket 15 and the knob or bolt 30.
The tension of the springs Hand 22. is so arranged that the bracket l5 together with the push rod l6 will slide along therails l1 and" I8 when pressure is applied to the knob 30. Thus the spring fingers 28 will be compressed within the rod it when :the latter enters the hollow tube Ill. The increased resistance resulting from engagement withthe garment, however, will tend to force the thrust rod 27 out of the push rod IE, but the tube It] will prevent the springfingers from spreading. The spreading will first take place upon the exit of vthe push rod through the opposite end of the hollow tube.
In operation, the tubular fabric belt 3| is u passed over the outer end of the tube I0 until the closed end of the belt abuts the end of the tube. The bracket I5 is moved along the rails l6 and I! by pushing on the thrust rod 21 to engage the closed end of the belt and carry the belt in a reversed condition through the tube and partially eject the same through the opposite end where the closed end is spread by the spring fingers 28. The belt may then be pulled out by hand.
After the belt has been removed, the spring 21 will draw the spring fingers 28 into the push rod l6 which latter will be automatically returned to its original position by the spring 22.
It will be understood that after the belt has been removed from the machine, the open end thereof is stitched in the usual manner.
Although only a specific embodiment of the invention has been described and illustrated, modifications may be made within the following claims.
What is, claimed is:
1. An apparatus for turning tubular garments closed at one end, such as belts, neckties and the like, comprising a tubular stationary member open at both ends for supporting the garment, a tubular, reciprocable member adapted to pass through said tubular member, and expansible, projectible means within said tubular, reciprocable member for spreading the closed end of the garment after having been pushed through said tubular, stationary member.
2. An apparatus for turning tubular garments closed at one end, such as belts, neckties and the I like, comprising a base, a tubular push rod re siliently slidable along said base adapted to pass through said stationary, tubular member, a thrust rod resiliently reciprocable Within said push rod,
the end of such push rod facing said hollow tubular member being provided with spring fingers normally compressed within said push rod for spreading the closed end of' the garment after having passed through said tubular member.
3. An apparatus for turning tubular garments closed at one end, such as belts, neckties and the like, comprising a tubular, stationary member open at both ends for supporting the garment, a tubular,,reciprocable member adapted to pass through said tubular member, expansible, projectible means Within said tubular, reciprocable member for spreading the closed end of the garment after having been pushed through said tubular, stationary member, resilient means connected with said reciprocable member for returning it to its'original position and separate resilient means connected to said reciprocable member for returning saidprojectible means to its original position, the tension of said resilient means being so arranged that said projectible means will be retracted Within said tubular, reciprocable member during the reciprocatory movement thereof.
4. An apparatus for turning tubular garments closed at one end, such as belts, neckties and the like, comprising a tubular member and amember adapted to pass through said tubular member, one of said members being stationary, the other one being reciprocable with respect to the stationary member, and expansible, projectible means carried by the member'adapted to pass through the tubular member for spreading the closed end of the garment after having been pushed through said tubular member.
