Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a needle guiding a pinstripe or bar, the needle having a fastening section in the foot region and a combing tip section above the same, and a pinstrip equipped with such needles, the needle being designed as a stamped part and the fastening area has an outwardly open or closed recess for pushing the needle onto a carrying rod, the recess corresponding to the cross section of the carrying rod being designed to be out of round or provided with projections or incisions in such a way that the needle is arranged on the carrying rod in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • Such needles are known from DE 19 36 323 A1.
  • rollers are not suitable for combing tasks, such as occur, for example, in drafting systems, where a relatively long combing tip area is required with a typical elongated configuration of the needle, and the needle is also designed with a cross-section with rounded edges in a needle-specific manner.
  • the object of the invention is to design needles and needle strips or rods garnished therewith in such a way that the advantageous combing effects of needles are achieved and nevertheless an easy exchange of the needles can be achieved, so that only minimal machine downtimes for accomplishing the exchange in Purchase must be made.
  • the tip area of the needles is significantly higher than the fastening area and is shaped approximately oval by embossing in cross-section.
  • This embodiment is based on the knowledge that even modern needles can be used to produce individual needles by punching in such a way that the tip area has the advantageous combing effect of individuals Has needles.
  • this manufacturing technique opens up the possibility of designing the fastening area in the manner according to the invention, so that, in contrast to all previously known pin strips, it is no longer necessary to combine the needles into a strip and to prefabricate them accordingly, but rather the conventional differentiation between pin strips and carrying rods canceled by the individual needles can be placed directly and individually on the carrying rod, which in turn can then be mechanically mounted directly in the machine, for example by means of a screw connection.
  • the recess can, for example, be approximately oval or rectangular and have an area that is open to the outside, this open area opening up the possibility of slightly elastically widening the recess and thereby enabling a certain amount of pre-fixing when being aligned.
  • the fastening area also has a second recess for lining up the needles before being applied to the carrying rod. Accordingly, the set consisting of a series of needles can already be prepared for a carrying stick, in which case the same needle stick can be freed from the old set in a very short time and the new set can be provided.
  • the invention is also directed to a pinstrip, which could also be called a needle bar in conventional terminology, and which is characterized in that a carrying bar is provided, the cross-sectional configuration of which corresponds to the contour of the recess of the needles lined up thereon.
  • the support rod can have at least one longitudinal groove or a longitudinal slot for engaging a corresponding projection of the needles. This can be realized particularly easily in that the support rod is designed as a slotted tube.
  • spacer parts can be provided, the shape of which roughly corresponds to the shape of the fastening area of the needles, i.e. these spacers can be slid on and lined up in the same simple manner.
  • the fastening region of the needles can be at least partially embedded in a plastic body, so that a kind of pinstrip of a conventional type is created, despite the additional measure of plastic casting the advantage of extremely simple fastening to the Carrying stick and can be realized in the machine.
  • the plastic body can form a spacing area between two adjacent needles.
  • the invention is also directed to a method for applying or replacing a set of needles of the type described above, it being provided that the needles are pushed onto a finishing tube by the needle manufacturer, which cross-section corresponds approximately to the carrying rod which is in the comb -Machien is used, the Kämm machine operator to apply the set, if necessary after removing the old set, the assembly tube in alignment with the support rod to be decorated, so that the entirety of the needles intended for the respective support rod can be applied by a single sliding movement . It is then only necessary to use end fuses, e.g. in the form of screws, and the carrying rod can be used again immediately.
  • a needle 1a according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a combing tip area 2a and a fastening area 3a.
  • the combing tip area 2a is designed in the manner of a conventional needle.
  • the fastening area 3a comprises a first, larger recess 4a which has an area 5 which is open to the outside.
  • the recess 4a is elongated-oval, so that when it is positively and elastically pushed onto a correspondingly shaped support rod, it is secured against rotation.
  • a second recess 6 is used to pre-line the needles 1a by means of a thin rod, so that they can then be exchanged even more easily.
  • the recess 6 can alternatively also be used to form a continuous, connecting plastic rod if, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixing area 3 is extrusion-coated with plastic, so that in this way a stable pinstripe is created.
  • the disks of the plastic body 7 between the individual needles 1a can act as spacers.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of a needle 1b according to the invention.
  • the fastening area 3b is provided with a recess 4b which is round and has a projection 8b.
  • the projection 8c is triangular in cross-section, while it is rectangular according to FIG. 6.
  • the view of the narrow side of the embodiments according to FIGS. 6 and 8 results from FIG. 10, the cross-sectional configurations of the respective tip region 2b or 2c from FIGS. 7 and 9.
  • the projection 8d is also triangular.
  • a spacer 9 shown in FIG. 11 is shaped like the fastening area 3d of the needle 1d, so that, as shown in FIG. 13, the needles 1d can be lined up with the spacer parts 9 interposed with a defined tip spacing.
  • the fastening area 3e is wider than the tip area 2e, which e.g. can be accomplished by appropriately embossing the tip area 2e. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 15, the needles 1e can be lined up without spacers.
  • FIG. 16 shows a support rod 10 in the form of a tube with a longitudinal slot 11, the longitudinal slot 11 being able to correspond, for example, to the width of the projection 8b of the needles 1b, so that these needles 1b can be lined up on the support rod 10 in a form-fitting and rotationally secured manner.
  • a ready-made tube indicated at 12 also has a slot 11 'and can be used to make it easier to pull up the clothing by first applying the clothing there and then simply pushing it onto the actual carrying rod.
