Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to the drawings, the sewing head (10) has one or more needles (12) and presser feet (14), as is known. The area where the needle (12) sews the fabric is the seaming area (16).

[0015] An angled hemming device (18) is fixed on an adjustable base plate (20) connected to the sewing machine. The outlet (22) of the hemming device (18) conveys the waistband to the seaming area (16), which will be described in detail later.

[0016] Downstream of the stitching zone (16) is provided a pair of rollers (24), optionally independently driven, which serve to stabilize the workpiece as it leaves the stitching zone (16).

[0017] A strip of fabric (26) from a reel (not shown) is fed into a hemming device (18) whereby the fabric is hemmed as known to form a garment waistband which will be joined to the garment at the seaming area (16).

[0018] The angle between the hemming device (18) and the seaming area (16) can be adjusted by adjusting screws (28). Alternatively, the ...

Abstract

A method of attaching a waistband to a garment is disclosed which comprises providing a strip (26) of waistband fabric having outer portions more extensible than the centre section, and presenting the fabric to a sewing machine through a folder (18) for attachment to a garment, characterized in that the folder is angled to the sewing zone (16) whereby to force the outer sections of the waistband strip to proceed faster than the central section resulting in a curve being formed during attachment to the garment. Since the strip does not have a shape until it is treated in accordance with the invention, it may be provided on a reel for continuous operation. Moreover, the angle at which the folder presents the waistband to the sewing zone can be altered whereby to give shapes that are not of constant curvature. The folder may be mechanically linked using, for example, a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder arrangement, to a knee-switch or foot-switch, to enable different degrees of curvature to be achieved at the operator's control.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of applying strips of fabric to the upper portion of garments such as skirts and trousers to form a waistband, and more particularly to a method that enables the waistband to take curved or other non-linear shapes when joined to the garment and equipment. Background technique [0002] Traditional waistbands can be manually joined to the garment by an operator, or automated methods that do not require an operator to manually join the waistband. In the latter case, the waistband is usually a continuous length of fabric, optionally fused to the gusset, which is fed to the seaming area by a hemming device. It is desirable to feed multiple belts in a continuous manner and in a conventional operation, for example, thirty belts may come from one reel. [0003] However, it is technically feasible to transfer the formed part (this part has been sewn into a local bend) with a special forming folder, and usually in actu...
