The loops have one or two folded over ends. Where a loop has two folded ends, the stitch is made through the folded ends to the stitch is made through the one folded end at one end of the loop. At the other end of the loop, the stitch is made only through the top part of the loop.
The forming of either one of the types of loops has been, in the prior art, a time consuming process. Usually, lengths of material to be used as the loops are cut at one station. The operator sewing the loops to the garment would take a cut piece, stitch it at one end to the garment and then manually fold over the remaining portion of the piece. The free end of the piece is then folded over and stitched to the garment. Since all of these operations are performed manually, the cost of the garment is raised materially.
The present invention relates to apparatus for automatically forming loops from a elongated piece of material and for delivering the loops sequentially to the sewing machine. In accordance with the the invention, the apparatus includes a station where the individual pieces of material are cut; a station where the cut pieces of material are formed into a loop having one or two bent ends and a mechanism for delivering the loops to the sewing machine. The apparatus also includes an arrangement for shifting the needle of the sewing machine from one end of the loop to the other while still holding the loop in a folded condition.
The apparatus of the invention is fully automatic in the sense that the operator no longer has to touch any part of the material to form the loop. The speed of delivery of the folded loops from the apparatus to the sewing machine is under the control of the operator, preferably by the use of pedals or treadles which are a part of the sewing machine. It has been found that the apparatus can fold and deliver loops to the sewing machine at a rate which is considerably faster than what can be accomplished manually. This increases the speed at which the sewing machine operator can work and thereby decreases the end cost of the garment.
It is therefore an object of the present invention for providing apparatus which can automatically cut pieces of a predetermined length from an elongated piece of material and fold these pieces into loops.
A further object is to provide apparatus which can form loops and deliver the loops to a sewing machine.
Another object is to provide apparatus for sequentially forming loops of material from an elongated piece of material and for sequentially delivering the loops to a sewing machine and holding them while they are sewn to a garment.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon reference to the following specification and annexed drawings in which:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE FIG. 1 shows a general overall view of the machine, the various portions of which are described in detail below.
The machine is mounted on a base B and includes a supply reel 1 for fabric material mounted on a frame support 2. The fabric material on the reel 1 is usually in the form of a narrow tape T, for example from about one-quarter to 1 inch wide which is to be used for making loops for such articles as pants, dresses, etc., through which a belt is to pass. The term tape is used to designate all types of material of any width or length.
It should be understood, however, that the machine will form loops from material of any manageable width which is consistent with the design of the apparatus. Also, instead of using a roll of material, lengths of the material can be used, for example in the order of one to several feet long, for short runs of making the loops or for better shade, color, matching or pattern matching. The purpose of the machine is to take the tape T, which is fed in a continuous web, cut it into predetermined lengths, fold the predetermined lengths with one or two bent-under ends and then to deliver the completed bent loop to a sewing machine station.
