Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for set-back tipping of neckties.

Tapping a tie is the process of sewing the lining fabric onto the outer fabric at one or both ends of the tie, with the seam line where the lining fabric is sewn to the outer fabric setback from the edge of the tie to the back side of the tie. be done. That is, the seam line is shifted from the edge of the tie onto its back side. The excess amount of outer fabric required for such a seam line to shift from the edge of the tie to the back side is usually provided by adding extra margin to the outer fabric before sewing, but this is not traditionally done. Depending on the method, it requires a considerable amount of time and skill, and it is difficult to give the corners of the tie a clean and beautiful appearance.

The present invention provides a method for setback taking of a tie having a sharp end of the tie end and a facing fabric and a lining fabric sewn along a seam line forming two corners on either side of the sharp end. It provides equipment.

The present invention provides a device for performing setback taking of a necktie, which performs setback taking of a necktie along a suture line forming a sharp end of the tie end and two corners on either side of the sharp end. a lower plate with a guide device for defining a suture line, an intermediate plate, an upper plate, an intermediate plate and an upper plate for moving the intermediate plate and the upper plate between raised and lowered positions; a pivot device for pivotally connecting the plate to the lower plate;
While holding the lining fabric between the middle plate and the lower plate,
The outer fabric is held between an intermediate plate and an upper plate, the intermediate plate having three pleating protrusions extending upwardly from the upper surface, the first pleating protrusion extending toward the tip of the tie, and the second and third pleating protrusions extending toward the tip of the tie. The pleating projections extend in the direction of the corners located on both sides of the tie, the upper plate having three pleating devices, the first pleating device cooperating with the first pleating projection. forming a first upright pleat in the surface of the fabric as the upper plate descends towards the middle plate;
A third pleating device cooperates with said third pleating protrusion to form a second pleat on the surface of the fabric as the upper plate is further lowered in the direction of the intermediate plate.
It is characterized by forming an upright pleat and a third upright pleat.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 7 shows the end of a tie with a lining fabric sewn on, and when the tie is opened flat from fold lines D and E, the outer fabric will sew along seam line H offset from edge K of the tie. The lining fabric F sewn to G is exposed.
The outer fabric G and the lining fabric F thus sewn together are turned inside out to hide the cut ends J of both fabrics. The corners a, b, and c of the seam line H, together with the corresponding corners of the end K of the tie, form a frame-like shape.

The seam line H is a certain distance d from the end K of the tie.
Therefore, the width between the seam lines H of the lining fabric F located on both sides of the tie (width in the line-line direction in Figure 7)
If is W, the width of the outer cloth G is W+4d. In addition, the outer fabric G has been sewn together, but before it is turned inside out,
A slight allowance (overhang) is required between the seam lines H and H.

The device of the invention comprises a lower plate 2 with a guide device for determining the seam line, an intermediate plate 26 and an upper plate 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The lower plate 2 and the upper plate 4 are connected to the axis 8 by a hinge device 6.
It is rotatably mounted around the center. Therefore, the lower plate 2 and the upper plate 4 are positioned at an angle with each other as shown in FIG. 2, or in a position where they are in surface contact with each other as shown in FIG.

The lower plate 2 has four grooves 10, 12, 14,
16, and these grooves are connected to each other at corners A, B, and C. The upper plate 4 is shaped so that when superimposed on the lower plate 2 as shown in FIG. 1, the outer edge 18 of the upper plate 4 coincides with the inner edge of the groove. The width of the groove in the lower plate 2 is dimensioned to allow movement of the guide stud of the sewing machine. The grooves in the lower plate 2 correspond to the seam line H and the positions of the corners a, b, and c of the seam line used to sew the outer fabric G and lining fabric F together using the needle 22 of the sewing machine at the end of the tie. Define corners A, B, and C.

On the other hand, the intermediate plate 26 is rotatably attached to the lower plate 2 via a hinge device 28 about the axis 8. This intermediate plate 26 is raised from the lower plate 2 when the upper plate 4 is raised, as shown in FIG. 2, and placed on the lower plate 2 when the upper plate 4 is lowered. That is, while holding the backing fabric F between the intermediate plate 26 and the lower plate 2, the intermediate plate 26 and the upper plate 4
Hold the outer fabric G between the

The intermediate plate 26 has three pleat blades 30,
32, 34, and these blades 30, 3
2 and 34 fly upward when the intermediate plate 26 rides on the lower plate 2, and the respective blades 30 and 3
2 and 34 extend toward the corners A, B, and C. The height of the blade is greater than the width.

The upper plate 4 has grooves 36, 38, 40 through which the blades fly out of the lowered upper plate 4 when the upper plate 4 is lowered. Then, the outer fabric G of the tie passes through the hole 50 provided in the upper plate 4. However, if the hinge arrangement is laterally offset, as in the embodiment of FIG. 13, such a hole is not necessary.

The outer end 42 of the lower plate 2 has grooves 10, 12, 14,
parallel to 16. A drive wheel (not shown) on the sewing machine engages this outer end 42 and moves the lower plate 2 relative to the sewing machine under the guidance of a guide stud slidably placed in the groove.

The blades of the intermediate plate 26 also cooperate with the grooves in the upper plate 4 to form upwardly extending pleats 20 in the outer fabric G, and these pleats 20 are located at the corners A, B, respectively.
Extends towards C. Said braid ends slightly before reaching the corner, but the pleat 20 extends to the edge of the outer fabric G as an unretained portion 46, so that the pleat 20 crosses the groove in the lower plate 2 and crosses the seam line H. also crosses.

In order to maintain the looseness (looseness) of the outer fabric G, it is important to prevent the folds 46 from being sewn onto the lining fabric when the sewing machine reaches the corner. For this purpose, the sewing machine is provided with a wiper device as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12. This wiper device is attached to the leg of the presser foot of the sewing machine by a bracket 56. The wiper device has a blade 52 swingably mounted on a horizontal axis located above and in front of the needle 22 in the direction of movement of the sewing machine relative to the lower plate 2. The orientation of the pivot axis relative to the direction of movement imparted to the lower plate 2 by the sewing machine is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of each pleat blade as the lower plate 2 approaches each corner.

The blade 52 terminates in an inverted flange 58, and the end 54 of the flange 58 contacts the pleat 20 in front of the sewing machine needle as it approaches the corner, causing a portion 46 of the pleat 20 to pass through the needle as shown in FIG. Shift it out of the line of progress. Blade 52 is pivoted to the position shown in FIG. 11, with flange 58
passes over the folds 20. The blade 52 is then returned to its initial downward position, with the pleats 20
is displaced by the other end 60 of flange 58 to the opposite side of its initial position, as shown in FIG. Thus, the flute 20 is shifted between two extreme positions on either side of the initial position defined by the flute blades, the angular movement being varied by the width of the flange 58.

In another embodiment, not shown, the pleat wiper is mounted on the base of the sewing machine and arcs back and forth about a vertical axis.

while the sequence controller is actuated by the sensing device;
The sensing device detects when the lower plate 2 approaches the position where the needle occupies the position shown as a in FIG. be mounted on the sewing machine in such a position as possible. At this position of the needle 22, the pleat 20
is offset from needle 22 closer to end 54 of flange 58 .

The sequence controller operates the mechanisms that perform the following actions one after another. These actions include (a) cutting the thread carried by the needle, (b) stopping the advancement of the jig relative to the sewing machine, (c) raising the needle to an upward position, and (d) moving blade 52 to the eleventh position. (e) lower the needle into the fabric; (f) turn the lower plate by the angle of the corner of the tie; (g) resume sewing with the needle along the groove from the corner. That is, .

In the use of the device, the upper plate 4 and the intermediate plate 26 are first pivoted up about the axis 8 by means of a hinge device, and the part made in the form of the backing fabric F is laid flat on the lower plate 2. placed on top of the groove,
The cut end J of the lining fabric F is the end 42 as shown in FIG.
placed in front of.

The intermediate plate 26 then connects its blades 30,3
2 and 34 by the hinge 28 and come into surface contact with the lining fabric F, and then one end of the outer fabric G, which has been previously cut into the same shape and slightly larger than the lining fabric F, is placed on the intermediate plate 26 with the front side facing down. The remainder of the tie is passed through the hole 50 in the upper plate 4. Each corner of the outer cloth G is placed so as to match the corners A, B, and C of the lower plate 2.

Then, the upper plate 4 is lowered by the hinge device 6 into surface contact with the outer fabric G, and at this time, the grooves 36,
The outer fabric G is connected to the blades 30, 3 by the ends of 38, 40.
2, 34 to form three elongated pleats 20. The pleats 20 take up the excess dimension of the outer fabric G, so that the cut edge substantially coincides with the cut edge of the back fabric F.

The combination of lining fabric F and outer fabric G is
Looking along the arrow in the figure, the outer fabric G has pleat braids 30 near the corner A as shown in FIG.
unretained loop 46 protruding from the end of
Similar unretained lubes are formed at other corners B and C.

The lower plate 2 with the outer fabric G attached in this way is placed on a sewing machine, with the guide studs of the sewing machine being placed in the grooves 16 of the lower plate 2, and the driving wheels driven into the ends 42 of the lower plate 2. As a result, the sewing machine is advanced in the direction of the seam line H, the needle of the sewing machine starts to move back and forth, and the operation of sewing the outer fabric G and the lining fabric F starts at the corner along the seam line H. This can be continued until it approaches part A.

The flange 58 of the wiper blade 52 is placed in front of the needle in the direction of movement of the sewing machine relative to the lower plate 2, and the end 54 guides the pleat 20 to a position L (FIG. 10) out of the line of travel of the needle 22. The shift and thus the folds are not captured by the needle when it reaches position a, as shown in FIG. The sequence controller then cuts the needle thread 24 and stops the reciprocating movement of the needle after bringing the needle as close as possible to point a. After the needle leaves the upwardly extending pleat, the controller causes the blade 52 to swing about its pivoting device;
In this case, the blade 52 first rides on the fold that is swung away from the needle and then returns to its initial position. After the blade passes over the folds, the outer fabric G returns to its original position due to its elasticity.
It then contacts the end 60 of the blade during its return movement and is displaced to the opposite side of the needle, ie to the position shown as R in FIG. 10 and schematically shown in FIG.

The needle is then lowered again without any relative movement taking place between the sewing machine and the lower plate 2, so that the needle is now back in the hole it previously occupied or at a point very close to it. Enter the cloth F again. The lower plate 2 is then rotated manually or by the action of a drive wheel on the end 42 of the lower plate 2, and during this angular movement the needle moves as a pivot. Once the rotation of the upper plate 4 is completed, the reciprocating movement of the needle is resumed and the forward movement of the sewing machine relative to the lower plate 2 continues in the direction away from this corner, leaving the outer fabric loop open in this corner. You can proceed.

After the upper plate 4 has been rotated, the sewing operation is advanced along the seam line H in the longitudinal direction of the next groove 14 until the needle approaches the corner B, at which point the same operation as described above is carried out. Therefore, a loop of the outer fabric G is also left in the corner B. Then, after the sewing has proceeded along the groove 12, the upper plate 4 is pivoted to leave an upright open loop of outer fabric G at the corner C, and then the sewing continues along the groove 10. It will be terminated after

Then, when the sewing thread is cut and the rotation of the upper plate 4 is completed, the reciprocating movement of the needle is resumed, and the lower plate 2 and the upper plate 4 are removed from the sewing machine. The upper plate 4 and the intermediate plate 26 are partially raised, and the assembled end of the tie (the end to which the lining is sewn) is released from the blade of the intermediate plate 26, and the tie is now in the ninth position. It has a cross section as illustrated schematically in the figure. Then, an open loop located at a position corresponding to the seam line H of the pleat is sewn. Next, the outer fabric G and the lining fabric F are sewn together and then turned over to hide the cut edge J.
is pressed so that it is equidistant from end K.
A similar operation as described above is performed at the other end of the tie, if necessary.

As already evident above, the excess of the outer fabric G existing between the opposing seam lines is drawn into that area by hanging the outer fabric over the G pleat braid. As mentioned above, the outer fabric G is cut into a larger shape than the lining fabric F, and the outer fabric G is hung over the blade until the cut edge of the outer fabric G substantially coincides with the cut edge of the lining fabric F. I am drawn to it. This operation is performed using the outer fabric G.
This assumes that the object can truly move freely within that plane, but in reality, this degree of freedom may not be granted. For example, cross the outer cloth G by 3
If there are two pleating means, even if each pleating means is attempted to operate simultaneously, the outer pleating means will still be able to draw the fabric from the free end, but the intermediate pleating means will not be able to pull the fabric into the outer pleating means. Since the fabric has to be pulled through the edges, the pulling of the fabric from the edge is at least partially hindered by frictional forces. However, the outer pleating means exhibits a clamping effect and the action of the intermediate pleating means therefore tensions the outer fabric. This tension does not act to provide permanent slack.

The jig shown in FIGS. 13-16 was designed to overcome this problem. The jig has a lower plate 62 having corners A, B, C and an elongated groove 64, to which a pleated plate 66 is attached by a laterally offset hinge arrangement 68. This pleated plate 66 is formed by the lower plate 62
It is placed in surface contact with the lower plate 62 and raised from the lower plate 62. The shape of the flute plate 66 is such that when placed in surface contact with the lower plate 62, the outer edge coincides with the inner edge of the groove 64 in the lower plate 62.

As shown in FIG. 14, the pleat plate 66 has an elongated central upright rib 98 on its upper surface.
ends at the inner end of groove 64 at corner B when pleated plate 66 is in surface contact with lower plate 62. Fold plate 6
6 further has a set of lateral short upright ribs 70 facing corners A and C, respectively, and terminating at the ends of groove 64.

The jig further includes an upper plate 72 which is attached to the lower plate 62 by a hinge arrangement 74 and is movable between an upper position and a lower position. In the lower position, this upper plate 72 overlaps the pleated plate 66, and the peripheral shapes of both plates coincide. Fold plate 72
Four flange pieces 76 are placed on the lateral ends of the flange pieces 76, and these flange pieces 76 extend downwardly from the upper plate 72.
The ribs 70 of the pleated plate 66 extend upward by approximately the same distance.

At each corner A, B, C, ie near the ends of the ribs 98, 70, gaps 78, 78a are left between adjacent flange pieces 76. On the lower surface of the upper plate 72, there is a block 8 made of a flexible material such as sponge rubber.
0 is mounted in such a position that it contacts the flute plate 66 when the upper plate is lowered. 80 blocks each
The vertical end 82 of is placed parallel to and close to one of the transverse ribs 70.

An elongated groove 84 is formed along the centerline of the upper plate 72 through which an elongated body 86 passes, and the elongated body 86 is mounted on the upper plate 72 by a hinge arrangement 88.

The portion 90 of the elongated body 86 that overlaps the rib 98 when the upper plate 72 is lowered defines an inverted U-shaped groove sized to receive the rib 98. Elongated body 86 is urged by spring 92 into a position with portion 90 below upper plate 72;
It is also raised against the force toward the upper plate 72 so that its lower end 94 is at approximately the same height as the lower end 96 of the flange piece 76 .

When using the device, first, the pleat plate 66 and the upper plate 72 are raised, and the lining fabric F (the first
4) is the lower plate 62.
placed on top and also superimposed on the groove 64. Next, the pleat plate 66 is lowered onto the backing fabric F, and then
The backing cloth is pressed firmly against the F lower plate 62.

Next, a long and narrow piece of the outer fabric G of the tie,
The pleated plate 66 is arranged so that its longitudinal axis is along the rib 98.
the hinge devices 68, 74
By shifting the position of , it becomes possible for the remainder of the outer fabric G to protrude beyond the hinge line.
A similar hinge arrangement may be advantageously used in the embodiment of FIG. The outer fabric G is substantially the same shape as the lining fabric, but is larger in size than the lining fabric, so that it can still overlap the grooves 64 even though it is draped over the ribs 98,70.

Then, the upper plate 72 is lowered toward the outer fabric G, and the grooves 90 of the elongated body 86 first come into contact with the outer fabric due to the influence of the grooves 92, so that as the ribs 98 enter the grooves 90, the outer fabric G is hung around the rib 98. The pleats thus created in the outer fabric extend beyond the front ends of the ribs 98 and grooves 90 and pass through the front gap 78a, so that the pleats are located at corner B.
It continues to the part of the outer fabric that overlaps the groove 64 located at. Because the groove 90 is oriented downward with respect to the plate 72, the task of folding the fabric over the ribs 98 is carried out so that the flange piece 76
This is done before reaching close to exerting the above-mentioned clamping effect on the outer fabric and impeding the inward movement of the fabric.

Even after the groove 90 is placed on the rib 98, the upper plate 7
2 is further lowered while compressing the spring 92,
Groove portion 90 enters the gap formed between flange pieces 76. During this further lowering, the block 80 and the flange 76 forming the gap 78
The ends cooperate with the upright ribs 70 to drape the outer fabric G over the ribs 70, thus forming transverse pleats extending beyond the grooves 64 in the direction of the corners A and C, respectively.

Once the upper plate 72 is held in the lower position, the jig is placed into the sewing machine in the same manner as described in the embodiment of FIG. Guided by the groove 64, the fabrics G and F are moved along the line defined by the groove.
A seam is formed between the

When the sewing is completed, the upper plate 72 is raised and the pleat plate 66 is taken out from between the sewn fabrics. The item sewn in this way is turned over inside and out, and in this case, due to the margin provided by the ribs 98, 70, the seam line is formed into a tie, as described in connection with the embodiment of FIG. shifted from the edge of

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately select the excess amount of outer fabric required for making a necktie, and it is possible to create a clean and beautiful necktie in a short time without requiring any skill. You can make ties.
