Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to sewing methods and apparatus, and specifically, but not exclusively to the sewing together of portions of a garment, such as a body section and an arm section of a T-shirt.
  • a more complex sewing operation of this kind is required for example when material plies must be joined along seam tracks which follow a different curvature on each of the plies.
  • the seam which joins the shoulder of a T-shirt to the sleeve of a T-shirt must be sewn along a seam track on the mated front and back of the T-shirt, which can be described as a "concave” edge, labelled 20 in Figure 11 herein.
  • the concave edge 20 must be mated and joined to what will be described as a convex edge 22, which is visible in Figure 11 for the sleeve ply in the relaxed state.
  • the sewing operation to join the sleeve to the shirt front and back is normally performed by a sewing machine operator, who must bring the edges together along the seam track as the sewing operation progresses.
  • the apparatus may be arranged to sew first and second fabric plies along first and second seam tracks on the plies.
  • the apparatus may include a first flexible, elongated carrier mounted and arranged for motion along a first path.
  • the first carrier may have pins projecting from at least a portion thereof in a first transverse direction.
  • the first path may have a first path segment corresponding to the first seam track and a second path segment.
  • the apparatus further may include a second flexible, elongated carrier mounted and arranged for motion along a second path.
  • the second path may have a third path segment corresponding to the second seam track and a fourth path segment generally parallel to and along said secpnd path segment.
  • the second carrier may have pins projecting from at least a portion thereof in a second transverse direction, the second transverse direction being substantially opposite to the first transverse direction. Therefore, the pins of the second carrier may extend towards the first carrier when the pin bearing portions of the first and second carriers are at the second and fourth segments of the path, respectively.
  • fabric applying means associated with the first and second carriers for positioning the fabric plies along the first and second seam tracks to engage the pin bearing portions of the first and second carriers when the pin bearing portions are along the first and third path segments, respectively.
  • a carrier transport means for transporting the first and second carriers with substantially identical linear speed and fabric guiding means for mating the pin engaged fabric plies along the second and fourth path segments in response to transport of the first and second carriers.
  • sewing apparatus for receiving and sewing the mated fabric plies.
  • the first and second carriers comprise chains having chain links joined by link connecting pins with link connecting axes, and the pins extend from the chains parallel to the axes.
  • Each of the fabric applying means may comprise a surface having a groove along one of the first and third path segments, the grooves being arranged to receive the pins. The surfaces may be arranged to be moveable towards and away from the corresponding carrier in order to apply the fabric to the pins.
  • the carrier transport means may be a motor with a shaft having first and second sprockets for driving the first and second chains at approximately the same linear speed.
  • the first carrier is advantageously arranged in a first guide along the second segment with the first carrier pins extending outwardly from the first guide.
  • the first carrier pins extend into first and second serially arranged fabric guiding slots along the second segment.
  • the second carrier may be arranged in a second guide along the fourth segment with the second carrier pins extending outwardly from the second guide and into a third fabric guiding slot, which intersects the first slot at a acute angle, and the second slot.
  • the third slot is serially arranged with the second slot; accordingly, when the transport means moves the carriers and the first fabric ply is guided through the first and second slots, the second fabric ply is guided through the third,tand second slots (in that order) and mated with the first ply in the second slot.
  • the second guide is arranged to move the second carrier towards the first carrier in a portion of the fourth segment corresponding to the third slot and away from the first carrier in a portion of the fourth segment corresponding to the second slot, thereby disengaging the second fabric ply from the second carrier.
  • a fabric handling apparatus in accordance with another aspect of the invention, includes a first elongated carrier having transversely extending pins and being arranged for elongated motion along a first path serially through first and second fabric guiding slots with the pins extended into the slots.
  • the apparatus also includes a second elongated carrier having transversely extending pins and being arranged for elongated motion along a second path serially through a third fabric guiding slot and the second fabric guiding slot with the pins extending into the slots towards the pins of the first carrier.
  • a method for mating a first fabric ply to a second fabric ply along associated first and second seam tracks on the plies includes the steps of engaging the first ply along the first seam track with transverse pins on a first elongated flexible carrier, engaging the second ply along the second seam track with transverse pins on a second elongated flexible carrier, flexing at least one of the carriers in the region of the associated seam track to have a shape corresponding to the other of the carriers, and bringing the carriers together with the pins of one carrier facing the pins of the other carrier, thereby mating the plies along the tracks.
  • apparatus for sewing together first and second fabric sections includes first and second conveying means respectively arranged to convey the first and second fabric sections towards a conveying zone in which they overlap, and the arrangement being such that the two fabric sections are subsequently conveyed jointly by only one of said conveying means.
  • apparatus for sewing together first and second fabric sections includes first and second conveying means respectively arranged to convey the first and second fabric sections towards a conveying zone in which they overlap, the arrangement being such that the two fabric sections are thereafter conveyed jointly by engagement of each fabric section by each conveying means, and subsequently they are conveyed jointly by engagement by only one of said conveying means.
  • apparatus for sewing together first and second fabric sections each of which has a non-linear edge intended to be overlapped with and sewn one to the other, includes : first and second conveying means arranged temporarily to straighten and convey, whilst straightened, the respective non-linear edges in overlapping relationship, and sewing means being included to sew together said temporarily straightened edges.
  • the non-linear edge may be curved.
  • apparatus for sewing together a concave shoulder edge portion of a garment and a convex upper-arm edge portion of the garment includes first and second conveying means arranged temporarily to straighten and convey whilst straightened the respective edge portions in overlapping relationship and sewing means being included to sew together said temporarily straightened edge portions.
  • the present invention may in its broadest aspects lead to a method or apparatus comprising any one or any combination of the features defined and described herein, whether such features are primarily defined or described in relation to a method or apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the apparatus shown in these Figures sews the sleeves of a garment onto a partially fabricated garment portion, which includes the front and the back pieces of the garment joined at the shoulder seam.
  • the apparatus depicted in Figures 1 and 2 is arranged to sew the edge 20 of the joined front and back pieces 90 to the edge 22 of the sleeve 92.
  • the edge 22' is convex while the edge 20, i.e., the edge to which the edge 22' must be mated, is concave.
  • the fabric pieces 90 and 92 must be constantly brought together during the sewing operation.
  • the desired seam track on the garment portion 90 is slightly spaced from and follows the curvature of the edge 20; likewise, the desired seam track on the sleeve 92 is slightly spaced from and follows the curvature of the edge 22.
  • the dual-chain sewing machine 24 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is supported on a platform 26 and includes a first pin bearing chain 32 and a second pin bearing chain 34, each chain being mounted and arranged to follow a continuous closed path around the apparatus 24.
  • the first chain 32 follows a path including a first path segment, which is defined by the chain-guiding member 36, and a second path segment, which is defined by the chain-guiding member 38.
  • the second chain 34 follows a path through a third path segment 40, which is defined by the plates 62 and 64, and a fourth path segment 42, which is defined by the chain-guiding member 74.
  • the fourth path segment is aligned with the second path segment in a fabric-mating section 39 of the apparatus 24.
  • the first path segment has a shape corresponding to the seam track on the fabric ply 90
  • the third path segment has a shape corresponding to the seam track on the fabric ply 92.
  • the fabric piece 90 is engaged along the first path segment by a pin bearing portion of the chain 32
  • the fabric piece is engaged along the third path segment by a pin bearing portion of the chain 34.
  • the fabric pieces are transported in unison and brought together, or mated, along the desired seam tracks in the fabric-mating section 39 corresponding to the second path segment and the fourth path segment.
  • the fabric piece 92 is transferred to the first chain 32, and then both fabric pieces 90, 92 are moved by the chain 32 to a sewing machine 28, which is mounted on a platform 30.
  • the sewing machine 28 sews the aligned fabric pieces 90, 92 together along the desired seam track.
  • pin bearing portions of the chains 32 and 34 engage the fabric pieces 90 and 92, respectively, in the apparatus illustrated in Figures 1 and 2; however, any elongated, flexible carrier with transverse pins for engaging fabric pieces may be used in an apparatus according to the present invention.
  • the carrier is preferably provided with pins along its entire length.
  • Figure a3 shows a part of a chain 32, 34 that may be used in an apparatus according to the present invention.
  • the chain 32, 34 has link connecting pins 94 connecting inner links 100 and outer links 102.
  • the link connecting pins 94 enable the links 100 and 102 to pivot about axes that are coaxial with the link connecting pins 94.
  • the chain further includes pins 96 for engaging fabric plies. The pins 96 extend from the chain in a direction parallel to the axes, which is a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the chain.
  • the first chain 32 is supported along its associated continuous path by the sprockets 44, 46, 48 and 50, while the second chain 34 is supported along its associated continuous path by the sprockets 52, 54, 56 and 58.
  • the chains 32 and 34 may be driven or transported at approximately the same linear speed along their respective paths by the motor-sprocket arrangement illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the sprockets 50, for the first chain 32, and 58, for the second chain 34 are mounted on a shaft 51 of a motor 49.
  • Such a motor-sprocket arrangement operates to move the chains 32 and 34 synchronously so that the fabric pieces 90 and 92 move in unison.
  • the motor 49 is a stepper motor
  • a magnetic sensor 33 is mounted adjacent magnet 35 on the shaft of machine 28 to sense the operating speed of the sewing machine and provide control pulses to the stepper motor for coordinating the operation of the sewing machine 28 and the chains 32 and 34 at least during the time period when the chain is transporting fabric plies past the sewing head of machine 28.
  • Such operation may be controlled by a microprocessor.
  • the dual-chain sewing machine shown in Figures 1 and 2 also includes apparatus for applying the fabric pieces 90 and 92 to the pin bearing portions of the chains 32 and 34, respectively, when the pin bearing portions of the chains are located in the first path segment and the third path segment, respectively. More particularly, a plate 66, with a groove 68 and a cutaway portion 70, is mounted on the pla-te 64 by hinges 72. The groove. 68 corresponds to the third path segment. The fabric piece 92 is placed over the pin bearing chain 34 with the seam track over the third path segment 40, and the plate 66 is rotated about the hinges 72 so that the fabric piece 92 is pressed onto the pins 96 of the second chain 34 as the pins 96 enter the groove 68.
  • Figure 6 better illustrates the operation of the rotatable plate 66 and shows the fabric piece 92 engaged by the pins 96 of the second chain 34.
  • the groove 68 receives the pins 96 in the fabric engaged position of the plate 66.
  • a moveable surface 60 with a groove 61 therein, is used to permit the pins 96 of the first chain 32 to engage the fabric piece 90 when the pins 96 are in the first path segment.
  • the groove 61 corresponds to the first path segment.
  • the solid line in Figure 5 shows the surface 60 in the fabric-engaged position, while the dashed line denotes the disengaged position.
  • the fabric piece 90 is placed on the surface 60 when it is in the disengaged position, and then the surface 60 is moved towards the first chain 32 so that the pins 96 engage the fabric piece 90.
  • the groove 61 receives the pins 96 in the fabric-engaged position of the surface 60.
  • FIG. 12a shows the fabric pieces 90 and 92' just after they have been positioned on the corresponding chains
  • Figure 12b shows the fabric pieces 90 and 92' following movement to the second and fourth path segments, respectively.
  • the movement of the chains after the fabric pieces are positioned thereon straightens the edges of the material and transforms the formerly concave edge 20 and the formerly convex edge 22 into straight edges, as Figure 12b shows.
  • the edges 20 and 22 and, therefore, the corresponding seam tracks on the fabric pieces 90 and 92' are aligned in this position and may subsequently be sewn together by the sewing machine 28.
  • the dual-chain sewing machine depicted in Figures 1 and 2 not only aligns the fabric pieces 90 and 92 as they are brought from the first and third path segments to the second and fourth path segments, respectively, but also transfers the fabric piece 92 from the pins of the second chain 34 to the pins of the first chain 32.
  • the way in which this operation is accomplished is depicted in Figures 3 and 7-10.
  • the first chain 32 moves the fabric piece 90 from the first path segment into a fabric guiding slot 80 of the second path segment; simultaneously, the second chain 34 moves the fabric piece 92 from the third path segment into a fabric guiding slot 78 of the fourth path segment.
  • the slot 78 intersects the slot 80 at an acute angle, with a wedge-shaped member 76' separating the slot 78 from the slot 80.
  • the chains 32 and 34 transport the fabric pieces 90 and 92, respectively, into the second path segment and the fourth path segment, respectively, the chains and the fabric pieces move towards each other.
  • the fabric piece 92 on the second chain 34 contacts the pins 96 of the first chain 32 and is transferred to the first chain 32.
  • the first chain 32 transports the aligned fabric pieces 90, 92 in a fabric guiding slot 82 of the second path segment.
  • the slot 82 is serially arranged after the slots 78 and 80.
  • the fabric piece 92 is transferred from the second chain 34 to the first chain 32 because (a) the pins 96 of the chains 32 and 34 extend into the fabric guiding slots 78, 80 and 82, with the pins of the first chain 32 extending towards the pins of the second chain 34, and (b) following the engagement of the pins 96 of the first chain 32 with the fabric piece 92, the second chain 34 diverges from the first chain 32 in a portion of the first path segment that corresponds to the fabric guiding slot 82.
  • the first chain 32 After the transfer, the first chain 32, with the pins 96 extending through the fabric pieces 90 and 92 and into a groove 86 of a plate 84, transports the fabric pieces 90 and 92 to the sewing machine 28, as illustrated in Figure 10. Simultaneously, the plate 84 guides the second chain 34, with the pins 96 extending into a groove 88 of the plate 84, away from the first chain 32.
  • Figure 14 shows the end of the chain-guiding track 38 following the sewing machine and immediately before the sprocket 44.
  • a wire loop member 98 is provided to guide the sewn fabric off the pins 96 of the chain 32.
  • the shaft of the sewing machine 28 may be provided with a magnet 35 and detector 33 for sensing the machine speed and providing pulses to stepper motor 49 to coordinate the motion of chains 32 and 34 with the speed of the sewing machine 28.
  • the stepper motor may be controlled by a programmed microprocessor which provides pulses to the stepper motor until the fabric pieces are detected by an edge detector on the sewing machine.
  • the microprocessor can then activate the sewing machine 28 and coordinate the action of the motor 49 with the speed of the machine until the appropriate time following detection of the trailing edge of fabric by the edge detector.
  • the microprocessor can also be used to briefly stop the chain to allow a venturi edge trimmer on the sewing machine to cut the sewing thread following the sewing of a set of pieces.
