Linking machine for correcting a piece of knitwear and collar

Abstract

The invention relates to a linking machine for connecting a piece of knitwear and a collar. The knitwear and the collar are initially separated; the linking machine comprises: a fixing unit which comprises a supporting frame and a device for feeding knitwear pieces and / or collars in the longitudinal direction; a mobile unit which a needle, wherein the needle is equipped with associated means for operating the needle in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to perform stitching; the linking machine comprises a guide device configured to align the collar seam line withthe back neck seam line of the knitwear piece and the collar band seam line of the knitwear piece, wherein the guiding device comprises a plate, the plate has at least one stopper for the knitwear sheet and folding parts, the stoppers are arranged in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction to allow the knitwear piece to be aligned parallel to the stoppers themselves, thefolding parts are located on the corners of the plate and arranged upstream of the at least one stoppers with respect to the feeding direction of the knitwear piece, the folding parts contribute to the deployment of the rear neck edge joined to the collar.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved linking machine comprising guide means for correct positioning of individual collars and pieces of knitwear relative to each other. Background technique [0002] As known, stitching is a processing technique used in the textile industry which consists in joining together two strips of fabric. For example, the technique is used to join collars, cuffs and sleeves to the rest of the garment so that the finished product can be constructed therefrom. The strips are joined by picking both ends of the fabric of each knit piece. The connecting thread is "woven" between the end courses of the two pieces of fabric, thereby creating the continuity of the piece of knitwear. The connection formed in this way is very flat and barely noticeable. [0003] The stitching process is a process involving significant limitations: [0004] - the seaming process is slow and expensive, in this regard it is estimated to take up m...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] In any case, the known solutions seek to optimize / automate the actual seaming step, i.e. the step of sewing between the collar and the knitwear piece, rather than the alignment of the collar and the knitwear piece with respect to each other. step, this alignment step precedes the subsequent sewing step: hitherto, this alignment step has traditionally been performed manually and has all the disadvantages described above
