  • D l 8 CN2368787Y is a tagging gun with side linear charger.
  • the threads for tagging are known, namely those nylon connecting elements intended to join the informative tag generally to a cloth product, and equally known is the tagging gun, traditionally used in the systems for tagging.
  • the solutions which adopt retaining mechanical devices such as buttons or clips, see for example from D6 to D1 7, they refer to devices which are difficult to use. Clips must always be on hand in a sufficient number to allow the ready recoupling of other dirty socks, in the sense that once utilized for the previous socks already washed they must be removed and collected, relocated in a specific place to be easily found and therefore again made available to the user.
  • a first aim was that of allowing in a rapid and intuitive way the connection of the socks or the stockings by means of the nylon thread, when they are thrown and before being thrown among the items to be washed, or in the washing-machine. It is an easy operation which is carried out near the clothes hamper where the coupling device can be preferably placed in a safe way, introducing inside it a part of the pair of socks and therefore carrying out the coupling by means of the cursor.
  • the coupling of the socks or the stockings by means of the nylon thread is a very effective system which prevents them from uncoupling even in condition of particular stress due to the washing, also turning out to be particularly resistant also at conventional operating temperatures of a usual washing-machine.
  • a second aim is also to allow to keep the socks in a constrained condition between each other also in the drying phase of the items by a stable connection means which can be removed only manually by means of pulling or by a cutting device.
  • the pair of socks so joined can be easily introduced in a drier, or otherwise easily unfurled on the traditional clotheshorse, whether rigid or flexible, placing astride of the clotheshorse the nylon thread which joins them, without the need to use conventional clothes pins.
  • D20-D22 are the conventional tagging guns, and in principle they can be used for the coupling of the socks.
  • the tagging gun is not configured in such a way as to allow the guide and the careful and safe positioning of the pair of socks to be joined, because it is a tool which manually requires particular expertise.
  • D1 suggests as many as two different movements, respectively a first raising movement of the gun drawer, in order to push the trigger that determines the movement of the needle, and a second and different movement inside the gun that causes a stroke of the taking and releasing needle of the nylon thread.
  • the coupling device is integrated and it is sufficient to insert the cartridge holder laterally to said device without any practical intervention.
  • the connection with the driving member of the tagging gun must also be considered, which would be particularly complex, little practical and which involves the positioning of said gun inside a movable drawer stressed by a pneumatic device that acts on the drawer from the lower side, determining the pressure on the trigger.
  • the connection to a pneumatic apparatus is not needed, because it is the movement of the cursor alone which allows the translation movement of the cartridge holder and of the needle, by means of a lever articulation.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the coupling device for socks and stockings, in a resting condition
  • ⁇ Figure 2 is a front view of the coupling device of the previous figure, in an intermediate dynamic condition of coupling of the socks
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the coupling device of the previous figures, in a condition of end of stroke in the phase of coupling of the socks;
  • FIG. 4 is a view of a front section of the coupling device, as from Figure 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a view of a section from the back side of the coupling device of Figure 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a view of a front section of the coupling device of Figure 1 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a view of a section from the back side of the coupling device of Figure 1 .
  • the present innovation refers to a coupling device (1 0) (Figs. 4, 5) for preventing the uncoupling of socks and stockings during the washing cycle, consisting of a box-like container body (1 00), fixable to a carrying structure, such as for example a wall, closed in correspondence of the front part (1 01 ) and of the back (1 02) which is removable.
  • the back (1 02) is provided with eyelet holes or adhesive means to allow the fixing of said coupling device (1 0) for example to a wall, in such a way as to offer toward the user the front part (1 01 ), which at the low part has a "C" shaped section guiding and fixing seat (1 1 0) for the pair of socks which is provided in between with respect to the support base (1 1 1 ) with a transverse hollow (1 1 2) with respect to said support -base (1 1 1 ).
  • the translation of the cursor (1 20), occurs along the path defined by said vertical guide slit (1 30) and lever articulation and rotomechanical parts are connected to said cursor (1 20) in such a way as to make the taking and fixing means (200, 300) of the nylon thread (301 ) carry out a first and a second movement.
  • the translation of said cursor ( 1 20) causes both the movement of the taking and releasing needle (200) of the nylon thread (301 ) and the non-continuous movement step by step of the cartridge holder (300) of nylon wires (301 ) which supplies said needle (200) of the coupling device (1 0).
  • the cartridge holder (300) consists of nylon threads (301 ) connected to one another and placed as a rack, in such a way as to be introduced through the entrance (105) of the feeder channel which is obtained in the low part of the coupling device (10) along the left side (104) (Fig.4).
  • said cartridge holder (300) is substantially parallel to and above the guiding seat (110) with at least the first end (302) of the nylon thread (301), placed at the head and contained inside the coupling device (10) in such a way as to be aligned with respect to the path of the needle (200).
  • the cursor (1 0) (Fig. 3) includes from the side facing the inside of the container body (100) of the coupling device (10), a housing (121) inside of which the ball joint (122) is inserted of a first lever arm (123) integral with a second lever arm (124) that hinging a third lever arm (125) moves the lever (126) to which the rod (127) is constrained.
  • the rod (127) (Fig.6) stressed by the articulation (122, 123, 124, 125, 126) by means of the translation of the cursor (120) moves the slide (140) which is movable with respect to the driving support (150) which is integral with respect to the container body (100).
  • the rod (127) is placed through the slide (140) which is astride of said rod (127) in such a way as to go freely in abutment on the teeth (141, 142) to make said slide (140) run vertically driven by the vertical slit (151) of said driving support (150).
  • said taking and releasing needle (200) of the nylon thread (301) is constrained in its lower part (Figs. 1 , 2) in such a way as to carry out a stroke that is perpendicular and through with respect to the guiding and fixing seat (110) of the couple of socks, up to the hollow (112).
  • an oscillating lever (160) is vertically placed, as part of the second movement, which has a shaped profile (161) from the side facing the slide (140).
  • the slide (140) which supports the needle (200) while going downward vertically along the slit (151) of the driving support (150) assures by the end of stroke against said shaped profile (161) of the oscillating lever (160), provoking a lateral movement that translates horizontally the rack rod (170) engaged to the gear-wheel (180) for the advancing step by step of the cartridge holder (300), cooperating with the locking rocker arm lever (171) and in such a way as to place the first nylon thread (301 ) in correspondence of the path of the needle (200).
  • the motorization of the first and second movement may be provided both in descent and vice-versa of the needle (200) and in advancement of the cartridge holder (300) of nylon threads (301 ).
  • the container body (1 00) in the internal portion which remains at the side respectively of the lever articulation means (1 22, 1 23, 1 24, 1 25, 1 26, 1 27), slide (1 40), driving support (1 50), has a suitable area to house a ratio-motor of small size.
  • a pressure operating means as for example an ON/OFF key, also lighted, placed on the front part of the container body (1 00) allows the activation of the coupling device (1 0).
  • the lighting of said key represents the conditions of use of the coupling device (1 0) which in a further variant may also integrate, always in the front part of the container body (1 00), a display also lighted which provides basic information to the user, such as in addition to the operating phase and the state of the possible batteries, also the need to charge said coupling device ( 1 0) with a new cartridge holder (300).
