FIG. 3 is a top view schematically showing the clothing manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the clothing manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment.

[0011] The clothing manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a pattern sewing machine. The clothing manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a table device 2, a sewing machine 3, a cutting machine 4, an applicator 5, a position sensor 6, an input device 7, and a control device 8.

[0012] The table device 2 has a table 9 and a table actuator 10.

[0013] The table 9 can hold and move the fabric 100 in the XY plane.

[0014] The table actuator 10 generates power to move the table 9 in the XY plane. The table 9 moves in the XY plane by the power generated by the table actuator 10. The table actuator 10 includes a pulse motor. The table actuator 10 includes an X-axis motor 10X that generates power to move the table 9 in the X-axis direction and a Y-axis motor 10Y that generates power to move the table 9 in the Y-axis direction.

[0015] The position sensor 6 detects the position of the table 9 in the XY plane. In this embodiment, the position sensor 6 detects the position of the table 9 by detecting the amount of drive of the table actuator 10. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the amount of drive of the table actuator 10 and the position of the table 9.

[0016] The position sensor 6 includes an X-axis sensor 6X for detecting the amount of drive of the X-axis motor 10X and a Y-axis sensor 6Y for detecting the amount of drive of the Y-axis motor 10Y. The amount of drive of the X-axis motor 10X includes the amount of rotation of the X-axis motor 10X. The amount of drive of the Y-axis motor 10Y includes the amount of rotation of the Y-axis motor 10Y. The X-axis sensor 6X includes an encoder for detecting the amount of rotation of the X-axis motor 10X. The Y-axis sensor 6Y includes an encoder for detecting the amount of rotation of the Y-axis motor 10Y.

[0017] The X-axis sensor 6X can detect the amount of movement of table 9 in the X-axis direction from the origin in the local coordinate system by detecting the amount of rotation of the X-axis motor 10X. The Y-axis sensor 6Y can detect the amount of movement of table 9 in the Y-axis direction from the origin in the local coordinate system by detecting the amount of rotation of the Y-axis motor 10Y.

[0018] The sewing machine 3 performs the sewing process of sewing the fabric 100. The sewing machine 3 has a sewing machine frame 11, a needle bar 12, and a sewing machine actuator 13.

[0019] The sewing machine frame 11 supports the needle bar 12. The sewing machine frame 11 has a horizontal arm 11A and a head 11B. The horizontal arm 11A is positioned to extend in the Y-axis direction. The head 11B is positioned on the -Y side of the horizontal arm 11A.

[0020] The needle bar 12 is positioned so that it can face the table 9. The needle bar 12 is positioned above the table 9. The needle bar 12 is supported by the head 11B so that it can move in the Z-axis direction. The needle bar 12 holds the sewing machine needle 14 for sewing the fabric 100. The needle bar 12 holds the sewing machine needle 14 so that it is parallel to the Z-axis. The upper thread is threaded onto the sewing machine needle 14.

[0021] The sewing machine actuator 13 generates power to move the needle bar 12 in the Z-axis direction. The needle bar 12 reciprocates in the Z-axis direction due to the power generated by the sewing machine actuator 13. The sewing machine actuator 13, which includes a pulse motor, is located on the horizontal arm 11A.

[0022] A bobbin case (not shown) is positioned below the table 9. The bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. The bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. The lower thread is fed out from the bobbin case. The bobbin case rotates in sync with the reciprocating movement of the needle bar 12 in the Z-axis direction.

[0023] The cutting machine 4 performs a cutting process to cut the fabric 100. In this embodiment, the cutting machine 4 includes a laser cutting machine that cuts the fabric 100 by irradiating it with laser light. The cutting machine 4 has a light guide 15 and an injector 16.

[0024] The light guide 15 guides the laser light generated in the laser oscillator (not shown) to the emitter 16. The light guide 15 is positioned to extend in the Y-axis direction.

[0025] The injection unit 16 is positioned so that it can face the table 9. The injection unit 16 is positioned above the table 9. The injection unit 16 emits laser light supplied from the laser oscillator via the light guide 15. The injection unit 16 has an injection surface 17 from which laser light is emitted to cut the fabric 100. The injection surface 17 faces downward. The laser light is emitted downward from the injection surface 17. The fabric 100 can face the injection surface 17. The fabric 100 is cut when the laser light emitted from the injection surface 17 irradiates it. The cutting machine may also cut the target with a cutter.

[0026] The applicator 5 performs an application process to apply adhesive to the fabric 100. The applicator 5 includes a dispenser for dispensing the adhesive. The applicator 5 has a tank 18, a discharge nozzle 19, and an air cylinder 20.

[0027] Tank 18 contains the adhesive. A heater (not shown) is provided in Tank 18. The heater heats the adhesive contained in Tank 18. Heating the adhesive suppresses an increase in its viscosity.

[0028] The discharge nozzle 19 is positioned so that it can face the table 9. The discharge nozzle 19 is positioned above the table 9. The discharge nozzle 19 has a discharge port 21 that discharges adhesive supplied from the tank 18. The air cylinder 20 is operated so that the adhesive contained in the tank 18 is discharged from the discharge port 21. The discharge port 21 faces downward. The adhesive is discharged downward from the discharge port 21. The fabric 100 can face the discharge port 21. The adhesive is applied to the fabric 100 by supplying the adhesive discharged from the discharge port 21 to the fabric 100.

[0029] Table 9 is movable in the XY plane, holding the fabric 100 within a range of motion that includes the sewing position Pa where sewing is performed by the sewing needle 14, the cutting position Pb where cutting is performed by the laser beam, and the application position Pc where adhesive is applied. The sewing position Pa is directly below the sewing needle 14. The cutting position Pb is directly below the injection surface 17. The application position Pc is directly below the discharge port 21.

[0030] The sewing machine frame 11 and the injection unit 16 are fixed together via a bracket 22. At least one of the light guide 15 and the injection unit 16 and the discharge nozzle 19 are fixed together via a bracket 23. The relative positions of the sewing position Pa, the cutting position Pb, and the coating position Pc are fixed. That is, the relative positions of the sewing position Pa, the cutting position Pb, and the coating position Pc do not change. As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the sewing position Pa is located -X and +Y side of the cutting position Pb. The cutting position Pb is located -X and +Y side of the coating position Pc. The sewing position Pa, the cutting position Pb, and the coating position Pc are close to each other. The table 9 can simultaneously face the sewing machine needle 14, the injection surface 17, and the discharge port 21.

[0031] The discharge nozzle 19 may be supported by a movable mechanism, and the discharge nozzle 19 may be positioned at any desired location.

[0032] The input device 7 is operated by an operator. Operation of the input device 7 generates an input signal to operate the garment manufacturing machine 1. Examples of input devices 7 include push buttons, dials, computer keyboards, and touch panels.

[0033] The control device 8 outputs control signals to control the garment manufacturing apparatus 1. The control device 8 includes a computer system.

[0034] The control device 8 controls the table actuator 10 based on the detection data from the position sensor 6. Based on the detection data from the position sensor 6, the control device 8 provides feedback control to the table actuator 10 so that the table 9 moves to the target position.

[0035] The control device 8 stores multiple production programs. The production programs include sequence programs for manufacturing clothing. The production programs include movement conditions for table 9. The movement conditions for table 9 include the target movement trajectory of table 9 in the XY plane. Based on the production program, the control device 8 performs at least one of the following: sewing by sewing machine 3, cutting by cutting machine 4, and coating by coating machine 5. The operator can specify one production program from the multiple production programs by operating the input device 7. Based on the production program specified via the input device 7, the control device 8 performs at least one of the following: sewing by sewing machine 3, cutting by cutting machine 4, and coating by coating machine 5.

[0036] [Operation of clothing manufacturing equipment] Figure 5 is a flowchart showing a first example of the operation of the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment. When the input device 7 is operated by an operator, the control device 8 selects a production program based on the input signal. The control device 8 controls the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 based on the selected production program.

[0037] As shown in Figure 5, the control device 8 performs a sewing process on the fabric 100 held on the table 9, forming a seam with the sewing machine 3 (step SA1).

[0038] In the sewing process, the control device 8 moves the table 9, which holds the fabric 100, in the XY plane relative to the sewing machine needle 14, based on the production program. As the fabric 100 held on the table 9 moves in the XY plane, the sewing machine needle 14 reciprocates in the Z-axis direction, forming a stitch in the fabric 100.

[0039] After the sewing process is completed, the control device 8, while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9, performs an adhesive application process using the applicator 5 to apply adhesive to the seams formed on the fabric 100 (step SA2).

[0040] In the coating process, the control device 8 moves the table 9 holding the fabric 100 in the XY plane relative to the discharge port 21 based on the production program. As the fabric 100 held on the table 9 moves in the XY plane, adhesive is discharged from the discharge port 21, thereby applying adhesive to the seams. The seams are waterproofed by the adhesive. The seams are also reinforced by the adhesive.

[0041] In this way, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3 and the coating machine 5 respectively so that the sewing process and the coating process are carried out while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can continuously perform the sewing process and the coating process while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0042] Furthermore, the control device 8 can perform the sewing process after the coating process. For example, the control device 8 can apply adhesive to one piece of fabric 100 with the coating machine 5, join the two pieces of fabric 100 with the adhesive, and then sew the two pieces of fabric 100 joined with the adhesive using the sewing machine 3. In this case as well, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3 and the coating machine 5 respectively so that the sewing process and the coating process are performed while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can perform the coating process and the sewing process continuously while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0043] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing a second example of the operation of the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. When the input device 7 is operated by an operator, the control device 8 selects a production program based on the input signal. The control device 8 controls the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 based on the selected production program.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6, the control device 8 performs a sewing process on the fabric 100 held on the table 9, forming a seam with the sewing machine 3 (step SB1).

[0045] After the sewing process is completed, the control device 8, while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9, performs an adhesive application process using the applicator 5 to apply adhesive to the seams formed on the fabric 100 (step SB2).

[0046] After the coating process is completed, the control device 8 performs a cutting process in which the dough 100 is cut by the cutting machine 4 while the dough 100 is held on the table 9 (step SB3).

[0047] In the cutting process, the control device 8 moves the table 9 holding the fabric 100 in the XY plane relative to the injection surface 17 based on the production program. As the fabric 100 held on the table 9 moves in the XY plane, laser light is emitted from the injection surface 17, cutting the fabric 100.

[0048] In this way, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3, cutting machine 4, and coating machine 5 so that the sewing process, cutting process, and coating process are carried out while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can continuously perform the sewing process, coating process, and cutting process while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0049] Furthermore, the control device 8 can perform a cutting process after the sewing process, and a coating process after the cutting process. In this case as well, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3, cutting machine 4, and coating machine 5 so that the sewing process, cutting process, and coating process are performed while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can continuously perform the sewing process, cutting process, and coating process while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0050] Furthermore, the control device 8 can perform a sewing process after the coating process, and a cutting process after the sewing process. For example, the control device 8 may apply adhesive to one piece of fabric 100 with the coating machine 5, join two pieces of fabric 100 with the adhesive, sew the two pieces of fabric 100 joined with the adhesive using the sewing machine 3, and after the two pieces of fabric 100 are sewn, cut the two pieces of fabric 100 with the cutting machine 4. In this case as well, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3, the cutting machine 4, and the coating machine 5 so that the sewing process, the cutting process, and the coating process are performed respectively while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can continuously perform the coating process, the sewing process, and the cutting process while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0051] Furthermore, the control device 8 can perform a cutting process after the coating process, and a sewing process after the cutting process. For example, the control device 8 may apply adhesive to one piece of fabric 100 with the coating machine 5, join two pieces of fabric 100 with the adhesive, cut the two pieces of fabric 100 with the cutting machine 4, and then sew the two pieces of fabric 100 together with the sewing machine 3 after they have been cut. In this case as well, the control device 8 can control the sewing machine 3, the cutting machine 4, and the coating machine 5 so that the sewing process, cutting process, and coating process are performed while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can continuously perform the coating process, cutting process, and sewing process while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0069] [Mold manufacturing] Figure 11 is an exploded perspective view showing a mold 30 according to an embodiment. In this embodiment, the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 is used to manufacture the mold 30.

[0070] As shown in Figure 11, the first type 31 is manufactured by bonding multiple veneers 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E together. The second type 32 is manufactured by bonding multiple veneers 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E together.

Along with the creation of single plates 31B and 32B, single plate 33B for manufacturing support plate 33 is created around single plates 31B and 32B. Similarly, the cutting machine 4 sequentially cuts plates 300C, 300D, and 300E held on table 9 to sequentially create single plates 31C, 31D, 31E and single plates 32C, 32D, 32E for manufacturing mold 30. As single sheets 31C, 31D, 31E and single sheets 32C, 32D, 32E are created, single sheets 33C, 33D, 33E are created around single sheets 31C, 31D, 31E and single sheets 32C, 32D, 32E to manufacture the support plate 33.

[0073] The first type 31 is manufactured by bonding veneers 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E together. A positioning opening 36 is formed in each veneer 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E by a cutting machine 4. When bonding multiple veneers 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E together, positioning pins 26 are inserted into the positioning openings 36. The multiple veneers 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E are positioned by the positioning pins 26 and then bonded together via adhesive.

[0074] The second type 32 is manufactured by bonding veneers 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E together. A positioning opening 37 is formed in each veneer 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E by a cutting machine 4. When bonding multiple veneers 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E together, positioning pins 28 are inserted into the positioning openings 37. The multiple veneers 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E are positioned by the positioning pins 28 and then bonded together via adhesive.

[0075] Similarly, the support plate 33 is manufactured by bonding the single plates 33A, 33B, 33C, 33D, and 33E together.

[0076] Thus, the first type 31 includes a plurality of veneers 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, and 31E bonded together. The second type 32 includes a plurality of veneers 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, and 32E bonded together. For example, a recess 34 is formed in the first type 31 by forming openings 34D on the +X side edge and the -X side edge of veneer 31D, and openings 34E on the +X side edge and the -X side edge of veneer 31E. For example, a recess 35 is formed in the second type 32 by forming openings 35D on the +X side edge and the -X side edge of veneer 32D, and openings 35E on the +X side edge and the -X side edge of veneer 32E.

[0077] When the first type 31, the second type 32, and the support plate 33 are placed on the upper surface of the table 9, the first type 31 is positioned on the support plate 33 by positioning pins 25 and 26, and the second type 32 is positioned on the support plate 33 by positioning pins 27 and 28. Positioning pins 25 and 26 are connected via a connecting plate (not shown). Therefore, the first type 31 is positioned on the support plate 33 when positioning pin 26 is inserted into the positioning opening 36 and positioning pin 25 is inserted into a positioning opening (not shown) provided in the support plate 33. Positioning pins 27 and 28 are connected via a connecting plate (not shown). Therefore, the second type 32 is positioned on the support plate 33 when positioning pin 28 is inserted into the positioning opening 37 and positioning pin 27 is inserted into a positioning opening (not shown) provided in the support plate 33.

[0078] [Cutting and coating processes] Figure 12 is a perspective view showing the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment cutting fabric 100 using a mold 30.

[0079] In the cutting process, the first mold 31, the second mold 32, and the support plate 33 are each placed on the upper surface of the table 9. The first jig 41 is attached to the edge of the first mold 31. The second jig 42 is attached to the edge of the second mold 32. The fabric 100 is positioned to cover the first mold 31, the second mold 32, and the support plate 33 from above. A portion of the lower surface of the fabric 100 is adhered to the upper surface of the base portion 43 of the first jig 41, and a portion of the lower surface of the fabric 100 is adhered to the upper surface of the base portion 45 of the second jig 42. By adhering the fabric 100 to the first jig 41 and the second jig 42, the fabric 100 is positioned to the 0 of the first mold 31 and the second mold 32, respectively.

[0080] When cutting the fabric 100, the cutting machine 4 emits a laser beam from the injection surface 17 of the injection unit 16 to cut the fabric 100. During the cutting process, the control device 8 moves the table 9, which holds the fabric 100, in the XY plane relative to the injection surface 17. The fabric 100 is cut as the laser beam is emitted from the injection surface 17 while the fabric 100, held on the table 9 via the first mold 31, the second mold 32, and the support plate 33, moves in the XY plane. The control device 8 moves the table 9 in the XY plane so that the laser beam emitted from the injection surface 17 moves relative to the outlines of the first mold 31 and the second mold 32, respectively. As a result, the fabric 100 is cut along the outlines of the first mold 31 and the second mold 32, respectively. In the following description, the dough 100 cut along the outline of the first type 31 will be appropriately referred to as cut dough 101, and the dough 100 cut along the outline of the second type 32 will be appropriately referred to as cut dough 102.

[0081] Furthermore, the coating machine 5 applies adhesive to a portion of the upper surface (surface) of the fabric 100 before or after the cutting process. The coating machine 5 applies adhesive to the area of ​​the upper surface of the fabric 100 that overlaps with the upper surface of the base portion 43 and the area that overlaps with the upper surface of the base portion 45 in the XY plane. When applying adhesive to the fabric 100, the coating machine 5 discharges the adhesive from the discharge port 21. If the coating process is performed after the cutting process, the coating machine 5 applies adhesive to the edge of the upper surface (surface) of the cut fabric 101 supported by the base portion 43 of the first jig 41, and to the edge of the upper surface (surface) of the cut fabric 102 supported by the base portion 45 of the second jig 42. During the coating process, the control device 8 moves the table 9 holding the fabric 100 in the XY plane relative to the discharge port 21. As the fabric 100, held on the table 9 via the first type 31, the second type 32, and the support plate 33, moves in the XY plane, adhesive is discharged from the discharge port 21, thereby applying adhesive to the upper surface of the fabric 100, specifically the areas that overlap with the upper surface of the base portion 43 and the areas that overlap with the upper surface of the base portion 45 in the XY plane.

[0082] Figure 13 is a perspective view showing cut fabrics 101 and 102 according to the embodiment. The upper surface (front) of the base portion 43 of the first jig 41 adheres to the edge of the lower surface (back) of the cut fabric 101. The upper surface (front) of the base portion 45 of the second jig 42 adheres to the edge of the lower surface (back) of the cut fabric 102. An adhesive film 51, which is a film of adhesive, is provided on the upper surface (front) of the cut fabric 101 in the region where the base portion 43 overlaps in the XY plane. An adhesive film 52, which is a film of adhesive, is provided on the upper surface (front) of the cut fabric 102 in the region where the base portion 45 overlaps in the XY plane. The protrusion 44 protrudes downward from the lower surface (back) of the base portion 43. The protrusion 46 protrudes downward from the lower surface (back) of the base portion 45. The cut fabrics 101 and 102 are joined via the adhesive films 51 and 52.

[0083] In this embodiment, an adhesive film 51 is formed on the surface of the cut fabric 101 and an adhesive film 52 is formed on the surface of the cut fabric 102, but one of the adhesive films 51 or 52 may be omitted.

[0084] [Bonding equipment] Figure 14 is a perspective view showing a bonding apparatus 61 according to an embodiment. The bonding apparatus 61 joins cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 via adhesive films 51 and 52. The bonding apparatus 61 adheres the cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 by heating the adhesive films 51 and 52. As shown in Figure 14, the bonding apparatus 61 includes a nozzle 62 that sprays a heating gas to heat the adhesive films 51 and 52, and a first roller 63 and a second roller 64 that join the cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 via the heated adhesive films 51 and 52.

[0085] Furthermore, the bonding apparatus 61 includes a first support member 65 that rotatably supports the first roller 63, a second support member 66 that rotatably supports the second roller 64, a first drive mechanism 67 that includes an actuator for moving the first roller 63 in the Z-axis direction, and a second drive mechanism 68 that includes an actuator for moving the second roller 64 in the Z-axis direction.

[0086] Each of the adhesive films 51 and 52 is formed from a thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive. The adhesive films 51 and 52 melt when heated and solidify in contact with each other, thereby exhibiting adhesive strength.

[0087] Nozzle 62 injects heated gas at the boundary between the surface of cut dough 101 and the surface of cut dough 102 so that the adhesive film 51, which is the adhesive applied to the edge of the surface of cut dough 101, and the adhesive film 52, which is the adhesive applied to the edge of the surface of cut dough 102, are melted. Nozzle 62 injects heated gas at the boundary between the surface of cut dough 101 and the surface of cut dough 102 before cut dough 101 and cut dough 102 are supplied to the first roller 63 and the second roller 64.

[0088] Figure 15 is a perspective view showing the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 according to the embodiment. Figure 16 is a cross-sectional view showing the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 according to the embodiment.

[0089] Each of the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 rotates while in contact with the edge of the surface of the cut dough 101 and the edge of the surface of the cut dough 102, thereby joining the edges of the surface of the cut dough 101 and the edge of the surface of the cut dough 102 via adhesive films 51 and 52. The first roller 63 and the second roller 64 are a pair of pressing rollers that join the edges of the surface of the cut dough 101 and the edge of the surface of the cut dough 102. The first roller 63 and the second roller 64 are arranged in the Z-axis direction. The first roller 63 is positioned above the second roller 64.

[0090] The first roller 63 rotates while supporting the first jig 41. The first roller 63 is rotatably supported by the first support member 65. The first roller 63 rotates around a rotation axis AX1 parallel to the X axis. The back edge of the cut fabric 101 is adhered to the surface of the base portion 43 of the first jig 41. The first roller 63 rotates while supporting the flexible first jig 41 to which the back edge of the cut fabric 101 is adhered. The first roller 63 has an outer peripheral surface 631 that supports the back surface of the base portion 43 of the first jig 41, and a guide groove 632 into which the protrusion 44 is inserted. The first roller 63 rotates while the protrusion 44 is guided by the guide groove 632.

[0091] The second roller 64 rotates while supporting the second jig 42. The second roller 64 is rotatably supported by the second support member 66. The second roller 64 rotates around a rotation axis AX2 parallel to the rotation axis AX1. The back edge of the cut fabric 102 is adhered to the surface of the base portion 45 of the second jig 42. The second roller 64 rotates while supporting the flexible second jig 42 to which the back edge of the cut fabric 102 is adhered. The second roller 64 has an outer peripheral surface 641 that supports the back surface of the base portion 45 of the second jig 42, and a guide groove 642 into which the protrusion 46 is inserted. The second roller 64 rotates while the protrusion 46 is guided by the guide groove 642.

[0092] The first roller 63 is supported by the first support member 65 so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction. The first roller 63 is movable in the Z-axis direction by the power generated by the actuator of the first drive mechanism 67. The second roller 64 is supported by the second support member 66 so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction. The second roller 64 is movable in the Z-axis direction by the power generated by the actuator of the second drive mechanism 68. With the cut fabric 101 supported by the first jig 41 and the cut fabric 102 supported by the second jig 42 positioned between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64, the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 approach each other, causing the cut fabrics 101 and 102 to be pressed against the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. As a result, the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are joined by the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 via the adhesive films 51 and 52 heated by the nozzle 62.

[0093] The base portion 43 and the protrusion 44 of the first jig 41 are each elongated in the direction of rotation (tangential direction) of the first roller 63. The base portion 45 and the protrusion 46 of the second jig 42 are each elongated in the direction of rotation (tangential direction) of the second roller 64. As a result, the first jig 41 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating first roller 63. This prevents the first jig 41 from swinging in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX1. The second jig 42 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating second roller 64. This prevents the second jig 42 from swinging in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX2.

[0094] After the cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 are joined by the first roller 63 and the second roller 64, the first jig 41 is peeled off the cut fabric 101 and the second jig 42 is peeled off the cut fabric 102.

[0095] [effect] As described above, the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment includes a sewing machine 3 for sewing the fabric 100, a cutting machine 4 for cutting the fabric 100, a coating machine 5 for applying adhesive to the fabric 100, and a table 9 that can hold and move the fabric 100 in the XY plane, which includes the sewing position Pa where sewing is performed, the cutting position Pb where cutting is performed, and the coating position Pc where coating is performed.

[0096] In the above configuration, the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 can perform sewing, cutting, and coating processes on the fabric 100, so that garments can be efficiently manufactured from the fabric 100.

[0097] The sewing machine 3 has a needle bar 12 that holds a sewing needle 14 for sewing the fabric 100. The sewing position Pa is the position directly below the sewing needle 14. Therefore, the table 9 can be moved to the sewing position Pa by moving it below the sewing needle 14.

[0098] The cutting machine 4 has an injection surface 17 that emits a laser beam to cut the fabric 100. The cutting position Pb is directly below the injection surface 17. Therefore, the table 9 can move to the cutting position Pb by moving below the injection surface 17.

[0099] The applicator 5 has a discharge port 21 for dispensing adhesive. The application position Pc is directly below the discharge port 21. Therefore, the table 9 can be moved to the application position Pc by moving it below the discharge port 21.

[0100] The relative positions of the sewing position Pa, the cutting position Pb, and the coating position Pc are fixed. This suppresses the complexity of the garment manufacturing apparatus 1's structure.

[0101] The table 9 can simultaneously face the sewing needle 14, the injection surface 17, and the discharge port 21. This allows the garment manufacturing apparatus 1 to continuously perform at least two processes on the fabric 100: sewing, cutting, and coating.

[0102] The garment manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a control device 8 that controls the sewing machine 3 and the coating machine 5, respectively, so that sewing and coating are performed while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. This allows the sewing and coating processes to be performed continuously while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0103] The control device 8 controls the sewing machine 3, cutting machine 4, and coating machine 5 respectively so that sewing, cutting, and coating are performed while the fabric 100 is held on the table 9. As a result, the sewing, cutting, and coating processes are performed continuously while the fabric 100 remains held on the table 9.

[0104] In the cutting process, table 9 holds mold 30. The dough 100 is held on table 9 via mold 30. The cutting machine 4 cuts the dough 100 according to mold 30. Cutting of the dough 100 according to mold 30 produces cut dough 101 and 102.

[0105] In the creation of the single sheets (31A~31E, 32A~32E), the table 9 holds the plate (300A~300E). The cutting machine 4 cuts the plate (300A~300E) to create single sheets (31A~31E, 32A~32E) for manufacturing the molds (31, 32). As a result, the mold 30 is manufactured using the garment manufacturing apparatus 1.

[0106] The mold (31,32) includes multiple veneers (31A~31E, 32A~32E) that are bonded together. This allows the mold (31,32) to be manufactured smoothly.

[0107] A jig 40 with an adhesive surface is attached to the edge of the mold 30. The adhesion between the fabric 100 and the jig 40 positions the fabric 100 on the mold 30. This allows for smooth cutting according to the mold 30.

[0108] The jig 40 according to this embodiment has adhesive on the edges of the back surface of the cut fabric (101, 102), is flexible, and is supported by rollers (63, 64) of a bonding device 61 that joins the edges of the front surface of the cut fabric (101, 102) to the object to be joined via adhesive.

[0109] In the above configuration, when joining cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 with the first roller 63 and the second roller 64, the first jig 41 is adhered to the edge of the back surface of cut fabric 101, and the second jig 42 is adhered to the edge of the back surface of cut fabric 102, so that cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 are smoothly joined. Therefore, clothing can be efficiently manufactured from cut fabric 101 and 102. The edges of cut fabric 101 and 102 are easily stretched and easily deformed. Therefore, it may be difficult for the operator to smoothly insert cut fabric 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Inserting the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 requires skill from the operator, and in the case of an inexperienced operator, there is a possibility that the cut fabrics 101 and 102 may be inserted between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 with wrinkles already formed. Also, in the case of an inexperienced operator, it may take a long time to insert the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. According to the embodiment, a jig 40, which is more rigid and less prone to stretching than the cut fabrics 101 and 102, is attached to the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102, so that the stretching and deformation of the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are suppressed. In addition, the jig 40 is flexible and easy to handle. Furthermore, the jig 40 can bend in accordance with the rotation of the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Therefore, even an inexperienced worker can properly and quickly insert the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Since the jig 40 and the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are adhered to each other, after the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are joined, the worker can easily peel the jig 40 off the cut fabrics 101 and 102.

[0110] Each jig (41, 42) has a base portion (43, 45) with an adhesive surface to which the edges of the back surface of the cut fabric (101, 102) are adhered, and a protrusion (44, 46) that protrudes from the back surface of the base portion (43, 45). Guide grooves (632, 642) are formed on the rollers (63, 64). With the cut fabric (101, 102) adhered to the base portion (43, 45), the protrusions (44, 46) are guided into the guide grooves (632, 642) of the rotating rollers (63, 64). As a result, the first jig 41 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating first roller 63. The oscillation of the first jig 41 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX1 is suppressed. The second jig 42 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating second roller 64. The oscillation of the second jig 42 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX2 is suppressed.

[0111] The jigs (41, 42) are attached to the edges of the molds (31, 32) used to cut the dough 100 to produce cut dough (101, 102), and the jigs position the dough 100 on the molds (31, 32) by adhesion to the dough 100. This allows the cutting process to be carried out smoothly.

[0112] Recesses (34, 35) are formed on the edges of the mold (31, 32), and the protrusions (44, 46) are inserted into the recesses (34, 35). As a result, the jig (41, 42) is mounted on the mold (31, 32) with minimal misalignment.

[0113] Each of the base portion (43, 45) and the convex portion (44, 46) is elongated in the direction of rotation (tangential direction) of the roller (63, 64). As a result, the jig (41, 42) is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating roller (63, 64).

[0114] The jig 40 is made of rubber. By adhering the rubber jig 40 to the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102, the expansion and contraction and deformation of the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are suppressed. In addition, the operator can easily handle the jig 40. Furthermore, the jig 40 can flex in accordance with the rotation of the first roller 63 and the second roller 64.

[0115] The bonding apparatus 61 according to the embodiment includes a first roller 63 that rotates while supporting a flexible first jig 41 to which the back edge of a first cut fabric 101 is adhered, a second roller 64 that rotates while supporting a flexible second jig 42 to which the back edge of a second cut fabric 102 is adhered, and a nozzle 62 that sprays heated gas. Each of the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 rotates while in contact with the surface edge of the cut fabric 101 and the surface edge of the cut fabric 102. The nozzle 62 sprays heated gas at the boundary between the surface of the cut fabric 101 and the surface of the cut fabric 102 so that the adhesive applied to at least one of the surface edges of the cut fabric 101 and the surface edge of the cut fabric 102 is melted.

[0116] In the above configuration, when joining cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 with the first roller 63 and the second roller 64, the first jig 41 is adhered to the edge of the back surface of cut fabric 101, and the second jig 42 is adhered to the edge of the back surface of cut fabric 102, so that cut fabric 101 and cut fabric 102 are smoothly joined. Therefore, clothing can be efficiently manufactured from cut fabric 101 and 102. The edges of cut fabric 101 and 102 are easily stretched and easily deformed. Therefore, it may be difficult for the operator to smoothly insert cut fabric 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Inserting the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 requires skill from the operator, and in the case of an inexperienced operator, there is a possibility that the cut fabrics 101 and 102 may be inserted between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64 with wrinkles already formed. Also, in the case of an inexperienced operator, it may take a long time to insert the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. According to the embodiment, a jig 40, which is more rigid and less prone to stretching than the cut fabrics 101 and 102, is attached to the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102, so that the stretching and deformation of the edges of the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are suppressed. In addition, the jig 40 is flexible and easy to handle. Furthermore, the jig 40 can bend in accordance with the rotation of the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Therefore, even an inexperienced worker can properly and quickly insert the cut fabrics 101 and 102 between the first roller 63 and the second roller 64. Since the jig 40 and the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are adhered to each other, after the cut fabrics 101 and 102 are joined, the worker can easily peel the jig 40 off the cut fabrics 101 and 102.

[0117] The first jig 41 has a base portion 43, which is a first base portion having an adhesive surface to which the edges on the back of the cut fabric 101 are adhered, and a protrusion 44, which is a first convex portion protruding from the back of the base portion 43. The second jig 42 has a base portion 45, which is a second base portion having an adhesive surface to which the edges on the back of the cut fabric 102 are adhered, and a protrusion 46, which is a second convex portion protruding from the back of the base portion 45. The first roller 63 has a guide groove 632, which is a first guide groove into which the protrusion 44 is inserted. The second roller 64 has a guide groove 642, which is a second guide groove into which the protrusion 46 is inserted. The first roller 63 rotates while guiding the protrusion 44 with the guide groove 632. The second roller 64 rotates while guiding the protrusion 46 with the guide groove 642. As a result, the first jig 41 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating first roller 63. The first jig 41 is prevented from swinging in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX1. The second jig 42 is continuously guided in the rotational direction by the rotating second roller 64. The second jig 42 is prevented from swinging in a direction parallel to the rotation axis AX2. [Explanation of symbols]
