Definitions

  • MATTRESS STITCHING APPARATUS Filed July 2', 1957 4 Sheets-Sheet 4 HMSMM -rTb fl vvE I Unit invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of "mattresses and "other 'articles in which one operation is "the stitching together of the adjacent edges .of fabric components whichform parts of a case enclosing afilling.
  • the filling which consists of a spring center and appropriate padding, is usually enclosed in a case or cover comprising top and bottom tickings secured around their edges to a preformed fabric border.
  • This operation is performed by a sewing machine travelling on a rail or guide around a table on which the assembled mattress is placed, the edges of the fabric being guided into the machine by an operator.
  • One object of this invention is to enable the stitching together of the edges of fabric components to be effected completely automatically.
  • the invention comprises a method of securing together adjacent edges of fabric components of a mattress or other article consisting in forming beaded edges on the components by folding the fabric around a cord and stitching the fabric, and securing the edges together by a sewing machine having means for receiving and automatically bringing into correct alignment the two beaded edges and for applying a line of stitching through the edges on the inner sides of the beads.
  • the machine may also feed and apply a tape which is folded over the beaded edges and stitched simultaneously but the tape is not essential and its omission reduces the cost of the article.
  • the mattress is placed on a table round which the sewing machine is guided on a rail, and the machine has a presser foot with two co-operating interconnected grooves or recesses.
  • the two beaded edges to be joined are placed in these grooves or recesses at the beginning of the operation, and then the machine runs around the mattress stitching the two edges together without any hand guiding since the heading of the edges forms a sufficient guide to keep the presser foot in its? correct location.
  • the machine automatically comes to a halt when it reaches the end of the beaded edge. Where the usual tape is still included, it is fed auto- ,matically into the same machine and is secured by the rates Patent 0 together.
  • This improved method :of finishing can be used equally Well whether or not the mattress is provided with a roll edge.
  • Figure 1 is a section through one corner of a mattress.
  • Figure 2 is a plan of a mattress on a table on which the case is finished.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the operative parts of a sewing machine by which the beaded edges of adjacent portions of the mattress case are brought together and stitched.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the operative parts of the-machine from the other side showing the application ofa-tape overthe beaded edges of the mattress case.
  • Figure '5 is a fragmentary transverse section of part of the mechanism shown in Figure 4, showing the feedingof the tape on to the beaded edges.
  • Figure 6 is a side elevation in part section of the operative-parts of the machine.
  • Figure 7 is a section on the line 77 of Figure 6.
  • Figure 8 is a fragmentary section of the presser foot of the sewing machine showing the needle.
  • Figure 9 is va fragmentary section showing the feed dog of the sewing machine.
  • Figure 10 is a perspective view of the presser foot.
  • Figure 11 is a fragmentary section showing the disposition of the feed dog in relation to the machine.
  • Figure 1 which is a section through one corner of a finished mattress, 10 is the top ticking of the mattress case which is provided with a beaded edge 11 formed by folding the fabric around a cord 12 and stitching it.
  • the border 13 of the mattress is provided with a similar beaded edge 14 formed by folding the fabric around a cord 15 and stitching it.
  • the two beaded edges are brought into alignment and are secured together by a line of stitching 16 on the inner side of and parallel to the cords.
  • a tape 17 may be folded over the beaded edges and stitched simultaneously to make a neat and attractive finish but the tape is not essential.
  • the bringing together and stitching of the beaded edges are effected automatically by a sewing machine travelling around a table on which the mattress to be finished is placed as shown in the remaining figures of the drawings and as described below.
  • the sewing machine as disclosed in the drawing, is of the type having an overhanging arm, including a feed dog, presser foot and needle mechanism, and a spaced, lower supporting arm.
  • the mattress 20 is placed on a table 21 around which extend rails 22 on which a sewing machine 19 is guided.
  • the machine is mounted on the rails in such a position that the line of movement of the needle 23 is at an angle of 45 to the plane of the top or ticking of the mattress, and the work is backed by a rigid arm 24 at right angles to the line of movement of the needle.
  • Co-operating guide members 25, 26 mounted on the arm 24 in advance of the needle receive the beaded edges 11 and 14 and bring them together in correct alignment.
  • the outer guide member 25 is held in position by a milled screw 27 which is slackened oil to allow the guide members to be separated while the beaded edges are introduced into the channel formed by cooperating grooves in the inner ends of the guide members.
  • the beaded edges are maintained in alignment by a groove 27' in the presser foot 28 of the machine, a groove 29 in a flange 29' on the feed dog 30, and a shoulder 31 on the arm 24 while the needle stitches through the two parts of the mattress case on the inner side of the beaded edges.
  • a roll of tape is mountedon the body of the machine, and the tape 32 is taken over feed regulating pins 33 as shown in Figure 4 and fed to a fitting 34 of known type which folds it over the beaded edges just in advance of the needle.
  • sewing machine illustrated in the drawings is shown by way of example only and that any other type of machine can be used provided it has means for receiving the beaded edges on the mattress case and holding them in alignment while the stitching takes place.
  • a sewing machine having an overhanging arm and a work supporting arm, sewing instrumentalities including a needle and presser foot in the overhanging arm, a table adapted to support a mattress thereon, means for guiding the sewing machine adjacent the edge of the table for movement therearound, means for superimposing and aligning the beaded, folded-over edges of ticking adjacent the forward edge of the presser foot, a feed dog mounted in the said overhanging arm to the rear of said presser foot, said presser foot and said feed dog being grooved to receive in the grooves one of the said beaded edges, and shoulder means on said supporting arm extending in the direction of movement of the material through the machine and forming an abutment below one of the walls of the grooves in the presser foot and feed dog so as to engage the other bead.
  • a device as in claim 1 further comprising strip guide means mounted on said work supporting ann having an outlet positioned between said superimposing and aligning means and said presser foot for directing a tape around said beaded edges.
