Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic fastener setting machine, and more particularly to an improved machine for automatically setting a plurality of fasteners along the edge of a garment.
  • gauges have been devised for setting a limited number of fasteners on a garment when the machine is put in operation. Such gauge devices are limited in their field of utility and are usually quite complicated and clumsy in operation.
  • An object of this invention is to provide an improved setting machine capable of automatically setting in rapid sequence any desired number of fasteners which may be required for any garment or the like, and with any desired spacing.
  • a further object is to provide such an improved fastener setting machine which is capable of being attached to and operated with any conventional machine normally employed in the setting of one fastener at a time.
  • the machine is particularly useful in the setting of snap fastener elements along the edge of a garment utilizing a standard basic machine, such as Model 41B produced by Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut.
  • a standard basic machine such as Model 41B produced by Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut.
  • An early example of such a machine is disclosed in the patent to Warner et a1. 1,499,270, dated June 25, 1924.
  • the invention provides means which are automatically set in operation for moving the garment clamping device the required distance for locating the garment in proper position for setting of the next fastener, and at that time, automatic means will operate in response to movement of the garment clamping device for re-engaging the machine clutch and repeating the operation until any desired number of fasteners have been set.
  • the garment is released and the clamping device is returned to the original position ready for receiving another garment.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation view, with parts in section, of our improved fastener setting machine
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section on line 22 of FIG. 1;

  • such a machine includes a pedestal 6 which supports the usual fastener setting machine F having a 3,263,887 Patented August 2, 1966 head 7 carrying the reciprocating ram 8.
  • the bottom end of this ram carries a suitable upper setting die to co-operate with a lower setting die on the stationary post 9.
  • the ram 8 is operated by conventional means including a drive belt 10, a pulley or fly wheel 11, a drive shaft I12 and a standard one-revolution clutch 13. This clutch is activated for one complete revolution upon energization of solenoid S1 through a suitable linkage connection 14.
  • On the right end of the drive shaft 12, as seen in FIG. 1, is mounted a cam 15 which will be more fully described later.
  • the garment or cloth C is indicated in position at the attaching station for the attachment of the first snap fastener.
  • a suitable supporting plate 16 may be attached to the machine for supporting the cloth C.
  • the pedestal 6 is formed with a table top 6a on which is supported the setting machine F.
  • the machine has a base flange 17 on which is secured a bar 18 extending forwardly of the machine and to which is welded one end of a long support bar 19 extending to the left of the machine, as seen in FIG. 1.
  • Fastened to this support bar 19 is a long track-carrying flat plate 20 which extends to a point adjacent the attaching station.
  • the track itself may be said to consist of two undercut bars 21 and 22 which can be held on the plate 20 by suitable screws.
  • the carriage 23 has a base 24 sliding on the top surfaces of bars 21 and 22, and has a T-shaped guide 25 (see FIG. 4) fixed to the underside of the base 24. This T- shaped guide rides in the guideway provided by the undercut bars 21 and 22 and at each end of the T-shaped guide, there is a narrow extension 26 to which are attached the end links 27' and 28 of the carriage drive chain 29.
  • a cloth-clamping device consisting of the fixed jaw 30 land the movable jaw 31 which is actuated by solenoid S3 also mounted on the carriage.
  • the jaws are normally held clamped by a spring 32 and opened by the pull of the solenoid S3 when it is energized.
  • the carriage is driven by a reversible motor M2 through a clutch (not shown), belt 33, pulleys 34 and 34a and a sprocket 35 which engages in the links of the chain 29.
  • the chain extends from end link 27 attached to the carriage guide 25, downwardly around the end of the track, over an idler roller 36, upwardly and around the drive sprocket 35 and roller 37 at the upper end of the track guide and back to the end link 28 connected to the carriage guide 25.
  • the carriage drive clutch is controlled by a solenoid C1 so that the clutch is engaged when the solenoid is energized, and in order to provide a quick stopping of the carriage, there may be provided a brake (not shown) and this brake may be mounted on the shaft carrying the sprocket 35 and controlled by solenoid S2, the arrangement being such that the brake is released when its solenoid is energized.
  • a stationary cantilever support 106 is secured to the pedestal 6 and a plate 107 fastened to the end of the support 106 carrier the motor M2. Extending upwardly from the plate 107 is bracket 108 which connects to a plate 109 to support the lower end of the plate 20 and track bars 21 and 22. Plate 109 may extend rearwardly of the plate 20, as seen in FIG. 3, and carry a rear bearing for the shaft 135 and pulley 34a.
  • a cutout switch for the carriage motor and clutch control circuits is held open when the carriage is in its returned position or starting position, as indicated in FIG. 1.
  • This switch is designated LS3 and as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, may be attached to the long stationary plate 20 by a suitable bracket 38.
  • This switch is normally closed at all times when the carriage is away from its starting position and is held open at the latter position by a screw 39 in an extension 40 of the carriage.
  • This switch is preferably located on the rear side of the track.
  • switch control members Secured along the upper edge of the track support plate 20 is a series of switch control members, herein called the pins 41. These pins are horizontal extensions from U-shaped brackets 42 which are adjustably held in the desired positions by thumb screws 43.
  • a switch operating roller 44 On the carriage, there is a switch operating roller 44 which operates to close a switch LS1 in the carriage when the roller strikes one of the pins 41, it being understood that the switch LS1 will open again when the roller passes over each pin 41, and for this reason it is sometimes herein called a trigger switch.
  • This switch LS1 controls a relay circuit which will be more fully described in reference to the wiring diagram.
  • the carriage also mounts a reversing switch LS2 under the control of a lever 45, and in the path of this lever there is mounted an adjustable actuator or stop 46 which is also clamped to the track supporting plate 20.
  • the pins 41 will be adjusted along the plate 20 in accordance with the desired spacing of fasteners on the garment, and the number of fasteners which may be set on any garment or the like is limited only by the length of track and number of pins 41.
  • the frame of the machine will mount a suitable panel for housing the relays which will be referred to in connection with the wiring diagram, but this panel is not shown in the drawings.
  • a switch box 47 contains three switches controlled by the cam 15 on the drive shaft 12. This can be done by means of a suitable stem 48 carrying a follower 49 in contact with the peripheral surface of the cam 15.
  • Brake release solenoid S2 is energized through the line 59 and normally closed contacts RLZ of relay RL. When S2 is energized, the carriage motor brake is released. Solenoid C1 is tie-energized so as to disengage the clutch between the carriage motor M2 and carriage drive.
  • the foot switch FS is depressed which opens switch 55 and closed switch 60. Opening of switch 55 breaks the circuit through cloth unclamp solenoid S3 which is thus de-energized allowing the clamp to close and hold the end of the garment.
  • the closing of switch 60 completes the circuit through the machine clutch solenoid S1, from line L1, through wire 61, switch 60 and back to L2 through lines 58 and closed cont-acts RRLl.
  • switches 62, 63 and 64 return to their original position as shown in the wiring diagram when the controlling arm of the switches rides on to the low part of the cam.
  • the motor M2 will now operate in reverse with the current in the field being in the reverse direction through wires 59 and 68, contacts FRL3, wires 87 and 71, field 70, line 88, contacts RRL2, line 72, armature 73, line 74, line 77 and switch LS3 back to L2.
  • switch LS3 is mechanically openedby the carriage to disconnect the carriage motor. Then another garment may be put in place and the entire operation again initiated by the foot switch.
  • garment and cloth have been used herein for the sake of convenience, but it will be understood that the invention is equally applicable to any situation where it is desired to set a plurality of fasteners upon any kind of an article.
  • (g) means automatically responsive to movement of said gripping means to the position for setting of such succeeding fastener, for re-activating said clutch.
  • (h) means automatically responsive to the actuation of said circuit control device by each of said controlling members for stopping said carriage and for re-energizing said machine clutch solenoid.
