Definitions

• the present invention relates the manufacturing of textiles, fabrics and clothing and particularly it refers to a device for wearing edges or hems of clothes and fabrics.
• the known devices for wearing portions of clothes and fabrics are usually constituted by manually operated abrasive electric tools capable to wear and to consume the trousers hem portion for instance.
• a drawback of said known device consists of difficulty to adjust their operation that involves the risk to excessively or insufficiently wear and/or to wear the wrong portions.
• An object of the present invention is to propose a wearing device fit to carry out predefined wears.
• Another object is to propose a device for carrying out at edges or hems wears which are continuous and homogeneous or discontinuous or unhomogeneous.
• Further object is to propose a device for carrying out edge and hem wears in a controlled, repeatable and very quick way, without risks for the operators.
• figure 1 shows a schematic and front view of the device of the present invention
• figure 2 shows a top view of the device of figure 1, in which some parts have been removed for better underlining others.
• numeral reference 1 indicates the device for wearing hems or edges of clothes and fabrics, object of the invention.
• the device 1 includes driving means 3 of abrasive means 2, handling means 4 of fabric and guide means 5 of fabric which are adjacent to abrasive means 2.
• the guide means 5 make the edge or hem of the fabric that is moved by handling means 4 to mate the abrasive means 2, operated by driving means 3 in order to abrade a fabric portion of the edge or hem.
• the driving means 3 include a motor 6 rotating a respective shaft 7 provided with a fixing head 8 for abrasive means 2 for instance consisting of a sand paper cylinder, a grindstone or another equivalent abrasive means.
• the motor 6 is of pneumatic or electric type controlled by control means, for instance of analogical or digital electronic type of known type and not shown, in such a way that in the operating condition, when the edge is mated and in synchrony with handling means 4 the abrasive means is operated in a continuous mode to carry out a homogeneous wear of the whole edge or in an intermittent mode to carry out an irregular or partial wear of the edge.
• the handling means 4 include at least a driving wheel 9 and a free wheel 10 whose mutual distance is adjustable by adjusting means 13 for allowing different types of wear for instance of trousers edges of diverse type or size.
• the adjusting means 13 are constituted by an oscillating support arm of the driving wheel 9 or of the idle wheel 10 and lockable or subject to a spacing elastic force of the wheels.
• the driving wheel 9 is provided with a flange 14 mating the edge or hem and it is connected by endless transmission means 11, for instance a belt or a chain, to electrical or pneumatic ratio- motor means 12, driven by the control means.
• the guide means 5 include a fixed abutment 15 and a mobile abutment 16, interposed between the wheels 9, 10 and fit to slidably mate opposed faces of the edge or hem.
• the fixed abutment 15 has approximately a cylindrical portion shape with nearly perpendicular and incident axis to the axis of the abrasive means 2.
• An end of mobile abutment 16 is hinged and the opposed end has a sliding block means 17, which is mobile between a facing condition to fixed abutment 15 and a spaced condition from the latter.
• a possible operation of device 1 provides to enter the two wheels into the edge of a pair of trousers, to position the sliding block means 17 on the edge and to activate the device causing the rotation of the edge which thus gradually mates the abrasive means 2 whose continuous or intermittent activation allows to carry out an abrasion continuous and homogeneous or discontinuous and/or un homogeneous.
• the main advantage of the present invention is to provide a wearing device fit to carry out predefined wears on edges or hem of clothes and fabrics, in a controlled, repeatable and very quick way, without risks for the operators.
