In the manufacture of disposable garments, such as surgical gowns, the sleeves are generally preformed and are then applied to the garment in an automated process. While it is often desirable to provide tapered sleeves to such garments, prior methods of preforming tapered sleeves often have been cumbersome or inefiicient, or have not been adaptable to automated manufacturing processes.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved method for efficiently and economically preforming tapered sleeves for use in the manufacture of garments.
Another object is to provide a method for preforming tapered sleeves which is readily adaptable to automated production. A more particular object is to provide such a method which preforms tapered sleeves from a single continuous web of garment material.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective and partially schematic view of a method of preforming tapered garment sleeves in accordance with the present invention; 7
FIG. 2 is a perspective of a finished preformed tapered sleeve manufactured by the method illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of the web of garment material shown in FIG. 1 taken between lines A-A and 8-8 with dashed lines indicating where the web is to be folded; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of the web of garment material shown in FIG. 1 taken between lines C-C and D-D showing the web after it has been folded along the lines indicated in FIG. 3.
While the invention is susceptible of various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrative embodiments thereof have been shown in the drawings and will be described below in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific forms disclosed but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.
Turning now to the drawings and referring first to FIG. 1, a continuous web 10 of garment material is unwound from a roll 11 and advances continuously through successive operating stations to produce completed preformed tapered sleeves I2. The completed preformed sleeve 12 in the illustrated embodiment, shown in an open or usable condition in FIG. 2, includes a cylindrical portion I4 and a tapered section 15. The preformed sleeves 12 may be readily used in automated garment manufacturing processes. Such a process for making raglan-sleeve surgical gowns is described in detail in copending application Ser. No. 827,493, filed May 21, 1969, in the name of David L. Middleton, entitled Method of Continuously Manufacturing Garments with Raglan Sleeves," and assigned to the assignee of the present application. In such a process, the cylindrical portion 14 of the preformed sleeve 12 is secured to the body of the garment so that when the garment is worn, the tapered section 15 of the sleeve snugly tits the wrist or forearm of the wearer.
In carrying out the method of the present invention, rows of transversely spaced adhesive strips are successively applied at spaced intervals along the length of the web 10. The adhesive strips 20 each are positioned at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the web. In the illustrated embodiment, each row consists of four adhesive strips 20, two strips being parallel and oriented at an angle l in one two strips being parallel and oriented at a similar angle 1 in the opposite direction from the longitudinal axis of the web. The four adhesive strips 20 in each row have leading points 20a on a common transverse axis 22 of the web 10. A number of different adhesives may be employed for the strips 20 although it is preferred to utilize a hot melt adhesive to facilitate control of the dimensions and of penetration of the adhesive strips.
in accordance with an important aspect of the invention, after the rows of adhesive strips are applied to the web, the web is folded along longitudinal lines passing through leading and trailing points of each strip with the longitudinal line through the leading point of each strip being folded over the longitudinal line through the trailing point so that the portion of the web between said lines is positioned flatly against the portion of said web immediately adjacent said trailing point and is secured thereto along the line of said adhesive strip. In the illustrated embodiment, as best shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the web I0 is advanced to a station where it is continuously folded along longitudinal lines 24 passing through the leading points 20a of the strips 20 and also along longitudinal lines 25 passing through trailing points 20b of the strips 20. With respect to each strip 20, the longitudinal line 24 through the leading point 20a is folded over the longitudinal line 25 through the trailing point 20b, so that a web portion 28 between the lines 24 and 25 for each strip is positioned flatly against a web portion 29 immediately adjacent the line 25 through the trailing point 20b. The adhesive strip 20 thus secures the web portion 28 to the adjacent web portion 29 along the line of the adhesive strip. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, such folding of the web 10 reduces the width of the moving web by the cumulative transverse distance that the four adhesive strips of each row extend, i.e., the cumulative distances between the longitudinal lines 24 and 25 for the four strips in the row. As will become apparent below, the adhesive strips 20 will secure and restrict the folded web to that narrow width only along the transverse lines 22 through the leading points 20a, while the web may be unfolded a progressively greater amount along the adhesive strips up to the trailing points 2b, at which point the web could be completely unfolded.
In order to provide sufficient web material for folding in the above manner, preferably the adhesive strips 20 of each row should be transversely spaced so that the longitudinal lines 24, 25 passing through the leading and trailing points 20a, 2012, respectively, of one strip 20 do not intersect another strip in the row. Moreover, the distance between longitudinal lines 24, 25 passing through the leading and trailing points of each strip should be less than the distance between the longitudinal line 24 passing through the trailing point 20b of any strip and a longitudinal line passing through any point on an adjacent transversely spaced strip.
After folding the web to encompass the adhesive strips 20, the web proceeds to a station where the web side portions 10a, 10b are continuously secured together to form a generally flat tubular shaped web. In the illustrated embodiment, a continuous line 30 of adhesive is applied parallel and in close relation to one side 10a of the web. The web side portions 10a and 1011 are then continuously folded inwardly as the web advances with the side portions being brought into slightly overlapping relation and being secured together by the adhesive line 30. As illustrated in FIG. 1, one of the side portions 10b should be folded inwardly slightly ahead of the other side portion 10a so that the overlapping areas of the two side portions do not interfere with each other during the folding operation.
Following the folding and adhesive securing of the side portions 100 and 10b, the flat tubular web is cut to sleeve length along successive cutting lines. In the illustrated method, the continuous web is successively cut through the transverse axis lines 22 passing through the leading points 20a of the adhesive strips 20 of each row. Each sleeve thus includes a sindirection with respect to the longitudinal axis of the web and gle row of adhesive strips.
It will be appreciated that the angularly oriented row of adhesive strips 20 incorporated in the folded sleeve in the above described manner causes the section of the sleeve 12 to be tapered when the sleeve is unfolded or opened from its flat condition shown in FIG. 1 to the useable condition shown in FIG. 2. it will be understood that the length of the tapered section 15 of the sleeve corresponds to the length of the adhesive strips. Thus, in the illustrated case since the adhesive strips do not extend the entire length of the sleeve 12, the section 14 remains cylindrical shaped. Alternatively, the taper may be made to extend the entire length of the sleeve. Moreover, the degree of taper in the sleeve 12 may be controlled by the number of adhesive strips used in each row and by their angular relation to the longitudinal axis of the web. An increase in the number of strips in each row or in their angle to the longitudinal axis will increase the amount of taper.
While the invention has been illustrated in the drawings in connection with one particular embodiment, it will be understood that various modifications may be made within the scope of the invention. For example, individual sleeve-length blanks could be used in forming the sleeves, rather than utilizing a continuous elongated web. in addition, the length of the sleeve members maybe varied to provide garments having long sleeves, short sleeves, or any desired length. Furthermore, it will be understood that the sleeves may be manufactured with various desired auxiliary features, such as elastic cuffs and the like.
