A method has been adopted in which the sleeves are folded in an intersecting shape, and then both sides are folded in the center to be folded in three (FIG. 15).
(A)). However, in the case of clothes called cook coats worn by cooks, the cloth is thick and the length of the sleeves is long, so if the sleeves are crossed and folded, the thickness will increase at the overlapping sleeves and it will not be finished cleanly There was a problem.

較すると困難である。[0003] In particular, in the case of a cock coat or the like having a shoulder shape, the above problem is liable to occur because the sleeve is most easily folded in a cross shape. In addition, the cock coat uses glue for finishing, and because the fabric is thick, it is possible to fold both sides of the torso in the center and fold it vertically, or to fold three-folded and elongated ones into two halves. It is difficult compared to relatively thin clothing such as yukata.

退避する。In order to fold hard-to-fold clothing without increasing its thickness, the left and right sleeves are folded on the left and right sides of the clothing so that the sleeves do not overlap. Therefore, the sleeves are folded side by side to the left and right sides of the garment and do not intersect at the center, but a movable gauge that is arranged diagonally with respect to the vertical direction of the garment being conveyed for this purpose. Used. The gauge taking an oblique position with respect to the clothing in the transport direction moves onto the clothing every time the folding operation is performed, and retreats from the clothing after the sleeve is folded.

Alternatively, it may be performed mechanically. Considering that the folded object is an easy-to-fold form such as a sleeve, but that it should be folded and placed on both sides of the garment, it is considered that the workability is better to be manually folded using a gauge. It is desirable that the sleeve be bent downward and overlap the left and right sides of the garment. It can be freely determined whether the sleeve is folded to the front or back of the garment. FIG.
4 shows an example in which the sleeve is folded to the front side, and FIG. 15B shows an example in which the sleeve is folded to the back side.

易である。The garment after sleeve folding is provided with a transport section for supporting the central portion of the garment and a vertical tri-fold member for supporting the left and right sides of the garment, and these are used to perform vertical tri-fold.
Vertical tri-folding is a process of folding the left and right sides of the garment on which the sleeves are folded in the vertical direction (up and down direction) so as to overlap the center. By folding the left and right sides of the garment so as to overlap the center, the body of the garment is folded and tripled, and the left and right sleeves overlap therewith. It is also possible to freely decide whether to fold the left and right sides of the clothing to the front or back of the clothing, but it is also desirable to fold to the back side so that the front row of buttons is not hidden Easy.

It should be folded in two at a substantially right angle. The fabric folded in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in this way is compressed by the press section so that the folded form is maintained. When the fabric is thick and the glue is used for finishing, it is quite strong and may not be kept in a certain shape even when folded, but it is necessary to suppress the swelling of the clothing due to the reaction force of folding by compression. Is desirable.

す。Each of the gauges 12, 12 is arranged obliquely with respect to the vertical direction of the garment M to be conveyed. The gauges 12, 12 are generally outwardly directed regardless of whether they are shoulders or T-shirts. This is a desirable arrangement for folding the sleeves S that are on the both sides of the body of the garment M substantially in parallel (see FIG. 6). In the illustrated example, the garment is transported upward, so that the sleeve S is also folded forward (front). However, when the garment M is transported downward, the sleeve S is also folded back (rear). FIG.
The broken line in the middle indicates a bending line inclined with respect to the transport direction.

The feeding conveyor 11B to the reversing unit 21 is continuously arranged at A, and the rear end is an inclined reversing conveyor 11C, which reverses the traveling direction of the clothes M. The reversing conveyor 11C is inclined so that the clothes M can smoothly enter and exit the large-diameter press roller 22, and the pressing roller 22 is in contact with a holding conveyor 11D in a substantially rectangular shape. The reason why the diameter of the press roller 22 is made large is to press the clothing without deforming the clothing in order to fix the sleeve folded state.

う。The portion following the reversing portion 21 has a transport means consisting of three portions for performing vertical and horizontal folding on the garment body. The first part is an introductory conveyor 11E for receiving and sending out the inverted garment, the second part is an intermediate conveyor 11F supporting both the left and right sides of the garment body, and a folding half-fold member for the garment body is interposed therebetween, and the third part is A support conveyor 1 that supports the central portion of the garment for vertical folding of the garment body and sends out the garment after folding.
The sleeve-folded garment that is configured to have 1G and enters in an inverted manner stops over the second portion and the third portion, and undergoes a required folding process. That is, the vertical three-fold part and the horizontal two-fold part share a part of the location in the second part and the third part of the conveying means, and perform different operations over time.

(See FIGS. 7 to 9), and the supporting conveyor 1
1G is designed to support the central portion of the garment by a required width, and the left and right vertical tri-fold members 23 support the portion protruding left and right therefrom. The vertical tri-fold member 23 is rotatably supported by a shaft portion 24 on the support conveyor side, and is driven to rotate by more than 180 degrees by a tri-fold drive unit provided below. The tri-fold drive unit includes a first telescopic device 25 pivotally supported on the main body and mainly for rotation, and a vertical tri-fold member 23.
A second telescopic device 26 for pressurization supported on the first and second
A connector 27 is provided between the left and right three-fold members 23, 23, and has a connector 27 that is interposed between them and is pivotally supported by the main body in order to couple the movements of the extension devices 25, 26 (one of them is not shown). ).

It has a two-fold member 28 at the center, and belts constituting the intermediate conveyor 11F are arranged on both left and right sides thereof. The half-folded member 28 has a length to support the rear half of the garment thus folded in half, and the left and right intermediate conveyors 11F
It is located slightly below. Therefore, the garment slides on the two-fold member while being conveyed by the conveyors 11F on both sides. The two-fold member 28 is driven by a rotation arm 29 and a telescopic device 30 provided at the tip thereof so as to be able to rotate more than 180 degrees. 31 is a spur gear coaxial with the rotating arm 29, 32 is a rack that meshes with the spur gear 31,
Driven by the reciprocating device 33, these constitute a folding unit driving device.

As shown in FIG. 15, the clothing M is loaded in an upward state on the conveyor 11 </ b> A of the loading section, and the sleeve S is first folded. See FIGS. That is, when the inserted clothing M advances to a predetermined position, the confirmation sensor 20 detects arrival of the clothing and stops the clothing, and the gauge arrangement device 14 that has been raised so far descends to hold down the collar of the clothing M. Become. Next, the gauge arranging device 14 starts the operation of protruding the gauge 12, and the gauge 12 is arranged obliquely with respect to the vertical direction of the clothing M. Therefore, the worker folds the sleeve M inward from the front with reference to the gauge 12. 6 and 14

4 is in a raised state for receiving clothes. The clothing M is pressed by the press roller 22 and the holding conveyor 11D when passing through the reversing section 21, so that the folded sleeve S receives a pressing force. However, since the reversal is performed with a gentle curve, the clothing M is curved. It does not bend or bend in any way. The garment M is turned upside down (front and back) and proceeds to the vertical three-fold and two-fold section. The third row in FIG.
