Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pleating and sewing technology, specifically to a pleated and exposed stitching template. Background Technology
[0002] In garment processing, pleating and sewing garment pieces is a very important step, especially for garments with visible stitching, such as work pants. The purpose is to improve the visual effect of the garment and thus enhance its aesthetic appeal.
[0003] Currently, pleating and sewing of garments is primarily done manually. This manual process not only increases labor costs and is inefficient, but also leads to problems such as uneven pleat widths or crooked sewing lines, significantly impacting the aesthetics of the garment.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this solution designs a pleated and exposed stitching template that completes the pleating and sewing process of cut pieces (such as work pants pieces) in one go, avoiding problems such as uneven pleat width or crooked sewing lines. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pleated and exposed stitching template to solve the problems of uneven pleat strip width or crooked sewing lines in existing pleating techniques.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the inventor provides a folding and pressing template with visible lines, comprising:
[0007] The base plate is provided with a first sewing channel and a cut piece positioning mark line;
[0008] A pleating assembly, comprising a pleat positioning strip and a pleating plate; the pleat positioning strip is adhesive and is horizontally positioned on the base plate, and the cut piece positioning mark line, the first sewing channel, and the pleat positioning strip are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction; the pleating plate is provided with a second sewing channel, the pleating plate is hinged to one side of the base plate, and can be flipped horizontally onto the base plate, with the first sewing channel covered within the second sewing channel and the pleat positioning strip covered within the pleating plate.
[0009] In some embodiments, the folding plate is provided with two second sewing channels along the transverse direction, and the base plate is provided with two first sewing channels along the transverse direction. When the folding plate is flipped onto the base plate, the two first sewing channels are paired with the two second sewing channels one-to-one.
[0010] In some embodiments, the folding plates are provided in a plurality of manner, and the plurality of folding plates are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction; the two first sewing channels arranged along the transverse direction of the base plate are the first sewing channel groups, the first sewing channel groups are provided in a plurality of manner, and are arranged along the longitudinal direction, and the plurality of first sewing channel groups are paired one-to-one with the plurality of folding plates.
[0011] In some embodiments, the distance between the two second seam channels of the folding plate is the second seam spacing, and the seam spacing of the plurality of folding plates increases sequentially.
[0012] In some embodiments, the pressure plate is provided in three parts.
[0013] In some embodiments, the pleating assembly further includes a cover plate having a third sewing channel, the cover plate being able to cover the base plate and cover the pleating plate, and the second sewing channel being covered within the third sewing channel.
[0014] In some embodiments, the cover plate is further provided with a pressure strip assembly, which includes two pressure strips that press against the two lateral sides of the folding plate when the cover plate is placed on the base plate.
[0015] In some embodiments, both the base plate and the cover plate are provided with magnetic suction components, and when the cover plate is placed on the base plate, the cover plate and the base plate are magnetically attracted together.
[0016] In some embodiments, the second sewing channel is a fishbone.
[0017] In some embodiments, the pleating assembly is provided in two sets, and the two sets of pleating assemblies are arranged along the longitudinal direction; the first sewing channel has the same number as the second sewing channel.
[0018] Unlike existing technologies, the pleated topstitching template described in the above technical solution is equipped with a pleating component, which can assist the user in pleating on the base plate. The placement position of the cut piece is defined according to the positioning mark line of the cut piece. Then, the part of the cut piece covering the pleat positioning strip is glued. At this time, the user can directly fold the cut piece. The user can easily and straightly fold the cut piece along the pleat positioning strip. Then, the pleating plate is flipped and pressed onto the folded cut piece. The user can then easily and straightly fold the cut piece along the pleating plate to complete the pleating step. Finally, the pleated topstitching template is sent to the sewing opening and sewn through the second sewing channel and the first sewing channel. Because the folding process is constrained by the folding line positioning strip and the folding pressure plate, which are parallel and straight, the folds on the cut piece are straight and the two folds are parallel. This avoids problems such as uneven width of the pleats or crooked sewing lines, ensuring that the width of the pleats is consistent or the sewing lines are straight. In addition, it is possible to sew multiple pleats simultaneously after they have been completed, achieving the effect of completing the pleating and sewing process of the cut piece in one go, which is efficient and of high quality.

[0047] In garment processing, pleating and sewing garment pieces is a very important step, especially in types of clothing such as work pants and coats. The purpose is to improve the visual effect of the garment and thus enhance its aesthetic appeal.
[0048] Currently, pleating and sewing of garments is primarily done manually. This manual process not only increases labor costs and is inefficient, but also leads to problems such as uneven pleat widths or crooked sewing lines, significantly impacting the aesthetics of the garment.
[0049] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pleated and exposed stitching template that can be used to complete the pleating and sewing process of cut pieces (such as work pants) in one go, avoiding problems such as uneven width of pleats or crooked sewing lines.
[0050] Please see Figure 1 In Embodiment 1, the pleated pressing template includes a base plate 1 and a pleating assembly. The base plate 1 is provided with a first sewing channel 100 and a cut piece positioning mark line 101. The first sewing channel 100 is used to make way for sewing and pleating, and the cut piece positioning mark line defines the placement position of the cut piece to ensure that the pleating position is in the required position. The pleating assembly includes a pleating line positioning strip 2 and a pressing plate 3. The pleating line positioning strip 2 is adhesive and is horizontally positioned on the base plate 1. The cut piece positioning mark line 101, the first sewing channel 100, and the pleating line positioning strip 2 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction. The pleating line positioning strip 2 assists the user in performing the first fold of the cut piece, ensuring that the crease of the first fold is straight and parallel to subsequent folds. The second fold crease; the folding plate 3 assists the user in subsequent folding of the cut piece, ensuring that the creases of subsequent folds are also straight and parallel to the creases of the first fold. The folding line positioning strip 2 and the folding plate 3 complement each other; the folding plate 3 is provided with a second sewing channel 300, which is also used to make way for sewing pleats. The folding plate 3 is set horizontally (parallel to the folding line positioning strip 2) and hinged to one side of the base plate 1, and can be flipped horizontally onto the base plate 1. The first sewing channel 100 is covered inside the second sewing channel 300, and the folding line positioning strip 2 is covered inside the folding plate 3. When sewing, the needle passes through the second sewing channel 300, the cut piece, and the first sewing channel 100 in sequence.
[0051] The pleated topstitching template, equipped with a pleating component, assists the user in pleating on the base plate 1. The placement of the cut pieces is defined by the cut piece positioning mark line 101. The portion of the cut piece covering the pleat positioning strip 2 is then glued. The user can then directly fold the cut piece, easily and straightly folding it along the pleat positioning strip 2. Next, the pleating plate 3 is flipped and pressed onto the folded cut piece, allowing the user to easily and straightly fold the cut piece along the pleating plate 3, thus completing the pleating step. Finally, the pleated topstitching template is sent to the sewing opening and sewn through the second sewing channel 300 and the first sewing channel 100. Because the folding process is constrained by the folding line positioning strip 2 and the folding pressure plate 3, which are parallel and straight, the folds of the cut piece are straight and the two folds are parallel. This avoids the problem of uneven width of the pleats or crooked sewing lines, ensuring that the width of the pleats is consistent or the sewing lines are straight. In addition, it is possible to sew multiple pleats at the same time after they are completed, achieving the effect of completing the pleating and sewing process of the cut piece in one go, realizing one-piece sewing after pleating, which is efficient and of high quality.
[0052] In some embodiments, the zigzag positioning strip 2 may be an adhesive strip disposed on the base plate 1.
[0053] In some embodiments, the second sewing channel 300 is a fishbone-shaped protrusion to make way for the sewing.
[0054] When the folding plate 3 is placed on the base plate 1, the fishbone spikes extend longitudinally from the side of the folding plate 3 toward the side away from the cutting piece positioning strip until they completely cover the first sewing channel 100.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 In Embodiment 2, the folding plate 3 is provided with two second sewing channels 300 along the transverse direction, and the base plate 1 is provided with two first sewing channels 100 along the transverse direction. When the folding plate 3 is flipped onto the base plate 1, the two first sewing channels 100 and the two second sewing channels 300 are paired one-to-one. With this arrangement, it can be used to sew the two sides of a trouser piece, and complete the pleating and sewing of the two sides of the trousers in one go.
[0056] In embodiment three, the folding and pressing plate 3 is provided in several ways, and the several folding and pressing plates 3 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction; the base plate 1 is provided with several first sewing channels 100 along the longitudinal direction, and the several first sewing channels 100 arranged along the longitudinal direction are paired one-to-one with the second sewing channels 300 of the several folding and pressing plates 3, so that it can be used to sew multiple pleats on one side of a trouser piece, and complete the sewing of multiple pleats on one side of the trouser piece in one go.
[0057] Please see Figure 2 In embodiment four, the folding and pressing plate 3 is provided in several ways, and the several folding and pressing plates 3 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction; the two first sewing channels 100 arranged in the transverse direction of the base plate 1 are the first sewing channel 100 group, and the first sewing channel 100 group is provided in several ways and arranged along the longitudinal direction, and the several first sewing channel 100 groups are paired one-to-one with the several folding and pressing plates 3, so that it can be used to sew multiple pleats on the two sides of a trouser piece, and complete the multiple pleat sewing on the two sides of the trousers in one go.
[0058] The method of using this folding and exposed seam pressing template is as follows:
[0059] ① Open all the folding plates 3, place the cut piece on the base plate 1, and position the cut piece according to the cut piece positioning strip;
[0060] ② After positioning, the cut piece is glued to the fold line positioning strip 2 at the contact point with the fold line positioning strip 2, and the cut piece is folded upward along the longitudinal direction;
[0061] ③ Cover the first folding plate 3, which covers the fold line position and fixes the pleat. Then fold the cut piece down along the longitudinal direction. In this way, the first three-fold pleat is formed on the cut piece by using the fold line positioning strip 2 and the first folding plate 3.
[0062] ④ Repeat step ③ to cover the second and third folding plates 3 in turn, thus forming the second and third pleats;
[0063] ⑤ Insert the sewing machine into the seam opening for sewing.
[0064] This completes the process of creating three high-quality pleats with consistent width, and then sewing them together in one piece with straight stitches.
[0065] In some embodiments, several folding plates 3 are hinged to the same side of the base plate 1, such as the left side of the base plate 1.
[0066] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 3 is provided in three parts.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 In embodiment five, the distance between the two second seam channels 300 of the folding plate 3 is the second seam spacing, and the seam spacing of the plurality of folding plates 3 increases sequentially, such as... Figure 3 As shown in L1, L2, and L3, L1 < L2 < L3, the folding plate 3 with different seam spacing can be used for different sizes of cut pieces, making it more adaptable.
[0068] Please see Figure 4 In Embodiment Six, the pleating assembly further includes a cover plate 4, which has a third sewing channel 400 for making way for sewing. The cover plate 4 can be placed on the base plate 1 and cover the folding plate 3. The second sewing channel 300 is covered within the third sewing channel 400. After the user completes the pleating of the cut piece using the pleated positioning strip 2 and the folding plate 3, the cover plate 4 can be placed on top before the piece is inserted into the sewing opening for sewing, so as to press the folding plate 3 and the cut piece together to prevent them from moving or lifting, and to ensure that the sewing is flat.
[0069] In some embodiments, the cover plate 4 is hinged to one side of the base plate 1.
[0070] In other embodiments, the cover plate 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of columns. When the cover plate 4 is placed on the base plate 1, the columns are inserted into the positioning holes, and the plurality of positioning holes are paired one-to-one with the plurality of columns to restrict the movement of the cover plate 4.
[0071] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cover plate 4 is further provided with a pressing strip 401 assembly, which includes two pressing strips 401. When the cover plate 4 is placed on the base plate 1, the pressing strips 401 press on the two lateral sides of the folding plate 3 respectively. When the cover plate 4 is placed on the folding plate 3 and the cut piece, the two pressing strips 401 press tightly on the periphery of the pleated cut piece to ensure that the seam is flat and does not curl up.
[0072] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, both the base plate 1 and the cover plate 4 are provided with magnetic suction elements 5. When the cover plate 4 is placed on the base plate 1, the cover plate 4 and the base plate 1 are attracted together by the magnetic suction elements 5 to prevent the cover plate 4 from loosening. This can help the cover plate 4 to be tightly placed on the base plate 1 to flatten the cut pieces and the folding plate 3.
[0073] Please see Figure 5 In embodiment seven, the pleating assembly has several folding plates 3, and the pleating assembly is provided in two sets. The two sets of pleating assemblies are arranged along the longitudinal direction. Each set of pleating assemblies is provided with a cover plate 4. The first sewing channel 100 and the third sewing channel 400 are provided with the same number as the second sewing channel 300. By using the two sets of pleating assemblies, two sets of pleats can be formed on the cut piece at the same time.
[0074] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
