Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a trouser pressing machine, particularly for permanently pleated trousers, i.e. having a longitudinal pleat vertically extending in a substantially central position at both the front and the back of the legs of certain types of trousers after pressing, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such machines are known e.g. from DE-2746563 or from DE7636527U .
  • the trousers must have a geometrically convex configuration, with the waistband extending as if the trousers were worn, for the waist to be properly pressed with no undesired creases, whereas the pleated leg pressing step requires a concave configuration, with the waist flattened and the central portion, corresponding to the fly, retracted into the side portions directly adjacent thereto.
  • machines are known in the art that can press the waist and the legs without requiring any intermediate manual step, but they perform trouser waist pressing with the trousers in a folded configuration, and hence with unsatisfactory results.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a machine that at least partially obviates at least some of the above mentioned drawbacks. According to the present invention, this object is fulfilled by a trouser pressing machine as defined in claim 1.
  • the trouser pressing machine that is shown in the figures, generally designated by numeral 1, comprises an outer frame 2 which houses a waist clamping unit 3, a waist handling unit 4, a waist unit 5, a trouser clamping unit 6, a pressing unit 7, a front waist pressing unit 100 and/or a rear waist pressing unit 110.
  • front side F corresponding to the side from which the operator lays the trousers 8, and a rear side, opposite to the former; likewise, there is a vertical direction (from top to bottom), a lateral direction (from right to left) and a front direction (from front to back), relative to an observer standing in front of the machine 1.
  • All the components are mounted to the frame 2; the latter defines a working zone , i.e. a volume in which the trousers 8 may be fixed by an operator of the machine 1 and in which the trousers 8 undergo the pleat pressing steps.
  • the waist clamping unit 3 comprises means 31 for supporting the waist of the trousers 8 below the plane ⁇ during the pressing steps; these means 31 may be movable for easily turning the waist of the trousers 8 from a convex configuration, in which the trouser waist is held during pressing, to the concave configuration, in which the trouser waist is held during leg pressing, in which the pleat is formed.
  • the trouser legs 8 are substantially completely flattened, for easy pressing thereof by pleat-forming press means.
  • the trouser waist is substantially flattened, although not completely, because it shall no longer undergo subsequent pressing steps.
  • the movable means 31 include a rear unit 32 and a front unit 33: the rear unit 32 has the purpose of retaining the rear portion of the waist, and imparting part of the convex configuration thereto and comprises a curved plate 321, advantageously divided into at least two elements 322 and 323, which may be pivotally movable, e.g. about a common pivot 324 relative to the frame 2 from an open configuration, as shown in Figure 2 and in which the two elements 322, 323 are disposed in mutually extending relation, to a closed configuration, as shown in Figure 3 .
  • Such rotation advantageously covering an angle of 45° to 90° for each element, may assist proper positioning of the trousers 8 during the leg pressing step.
  • the rear unit 32 may include control and monitoring means 325 for driving the two elements 322 and 323.
  • a device is provided behind the curved plate 321 to hold the trousers 8 against the plate 321.
  • This device comprises a pusher, e.g. having a disk shape, and being advantageously servoactuated, which is pressed against the curved plate for the waistband of the trousers 8 to be clamped between the center of the curved plate 321 and the pusher.
  • the front unit 33 comprises two gripper elements 331, 332 which are adapted to clamp the waistband of the trousers 8 substantially at symmetrical points with respect to the center of the waist
  • the two gripper elements 331, 332 preferably comprise two jaws 333, 334 each and are free to move, advantageously on bearings, along a preferably rectilinear guide 335.
  • One of the two jaws 334 has to be placed on the trousers 8 by the operator the other 333 can move towards the former 334 to secure the trousers 8 with respect to the gripper elements 331, 332.
  • the motion of the two jaws 333, 334 towards each other may be of rotary type (like in pliers), or of translational type (as shown in Figure 6 ), advantageously in a plane parallel to the plane ⁇ .
  • the gripper elements 331, 332 advantageously comprise means 336 that temporarily secure them relative to the guide 335, such as pneumatic actuators.
  • the waist handling unit 4 as shown in Figures 4A-4D and 5 , comprises means 41 for turning the waist from a convex configuration to a concave configuration.
  • These means substantially include a finger 411 pivoting about a horizontal axis 412 between a moving configuration (as shown in Figures 4A, 4B and 5 ) and a working configuration (as shown in Figures 4C and 4D ), and advantageously servoactuated by an actuator.
  • the finger 411 is an element other than the fly pressing buck as described below. Particularly, it differs therefrom for its smaller cross section and/or the shape of the section in contact with the trousers.
  • the cross sections (perpendicular to the maximum length direction) of the finger 411 may have a maximum size smaller than 3 cm, advantageously smaller than 2 mm, e.g. of a few mm.
  • the finger 411 may have a non-flat trouser contact section, e.g. circular or terminating with an acute angle facing towards the trousers.
  • the pivoting finger 411 is placed on a structure 414 that is held on the rear side and comprises a track 415, for instance having a rectilinear extension, on which the carriage 416 may move towards the location of the trousers 8, in operation, and back.
  • the track 415 is advantageously contained in the plane ⁇ .
  • the carriage 416 is placed at such a height that, during the front motion, when the finger 411 is in the moving configuration, it will not interfere with the trousers 8 and when the finger 411 is in the working configuration, it will interfere with the trousers 8.
  • the finger 411 is hinged at the front end of the carriage 416 along a substantially horizontal axis, perpendicular to the orientation of the track 415.
  • Figures 4A-4D show the sequence of movements whereby the carriage 416 and the finger 411 change the configuration of the trousers 8.
  • Figure 4A shows the carriage 416 in a retracted position, with the finger 411 extended, i.e. with the trousers 8 in the convex configuration;
  • Figure 4B shows the carriage 416 in a forward position; here the finger 411 is past the waist of the trousers 8.
  • the two gripper elements 331, 332 are free to move along the guide 335; advantageously, they are held secured during the waist and/or leg pressing steps.
  • the two elements 322 and 323 of the curved plate 321 change their configuration by pivoting about their pin into the configuration as shown in Figure 3 .
  • the curved plate 321 may be stationary or motorized, to be retracted during the change of configuration, and always hold the waist of the trousers 8 properly stretched.
  • the curved plate is disposed at the rear of the machine 1 and is thus mechanically connected to the waist handling unit 4.
  • the waist unit 5 comprises two bucks 51, 52 for maintaining the shape of the waist during pressing, which are advantageously movable in a vertical direction and possibly in a horizontal direction.
  • the bucks 51, 52 are advantageously symmetrical with respect to the plane ⁇ .
  • the bucks 51, 52 are appropriately convex to fit the shape of the textile product to be pressed and have chamfered edges to prevent their contour from leaving a mark on the fabric.
  • the bucks 51, 52 are advantageously integral with a carriage 53 that can move them in a vertical direction, so that they may be removed from the trousers 8 after waist pressing and before waist configuration change (i.e. between Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the bucks 51, 52 may also move sideways relative to the waist, in their open configuration, to fit the various sizes and shapes of the trousers.
  • the carriage 53 is moved down into its work position whereupon the position of the bucks 51, 52 is suitably adapted to the waist shape.
  • a trouser clamping unit 6 (as shown in Figure 11 ) comprises retention means 61, advantageously at least one for each leg and for instance comprising a pair of expanders 611, 612, i.e. two elements capable of moving away from each other, that are inserted in the leg of the trousers 8 and may thus impart a flattened configuration thereto.
  • the expanders 611, 612 can move along a track 613 and have an elongate cross section in the direction of the track 613, i.e. in the front direction.
  • the operator shall obviously make sure that the ends of the expanders are aligned with the position in which the pleat is to be formed, but this may also occur as the trousers 8 are first laid on the machine.
  • the retention means 61 may be free to rotate about respective advantageously vertical axes of rotation.
  • the retention means 61 may also be motorized, for the legs to be in their proper position during the next pressing step, without interfering with the motion of the other elements during configuration change.
  • the retention means 61 may be mounted to carriages that can displace them in a vertical direction, for easier application and better fit to the different lengths of the various trousers and/or sideways, so that the leg hems may be displaced between a more open position, consistent with the convex configuration of the waist and a closed position adhering with suction board.
  • Friction may be utilized to prevent disengagement of the legs of the trousers 8 during vertical motion of the retention means 61: the retention means are mounted to an arm, which is arranged to swing about its own motorized carriage. When the retention means are about to slip off, the friction between the latter and the trousers 8 (which can be possibly increased using a neoprene cover), allows the arm to trigger a microswitch that locks its vertical motion.
  • the operator may fit the trousers 8 astride the board 72.
  • the pressing elements 73 may be, for instance, ordinary plates 74, 75 movable between an open configuration (as shown in figure 7A ) and a closed or pressing configuration (as shown in Figure 7B ).
  • pressing elements 73 have a well-known operation and will not be further detailed.
  • the front waist pressing unit 100 (as shown in Figure 9 ) comprises at least one buck 101 for the left front waist and a buck 102 for the right front waist.
  • the bucks 101 and 102 are movable from a first remote configuration, in which they are far from the working zone and allow the trousers 8 to be fitted onto fixation means 31, 61 to a second pressing configuration, in which they are set against the waist bucks 51, 52.
  • the bucks 51, 52, 101, 102 allow proper pressing of the front portion of the waist, and possibly the darts of the trousers 8 (or any other garment having a waist, such as a skirt).
  • the bucks 51, 52 are also used to counteract the bucks 101 and 102, which close during dart pressing.
  • the rear waist pressing unit 110 like the one described above, comprises two rear bucks 111 and 112 (only the buck 112 being visible in Figure 10 ) for pressing the back pockets of the trousers 8.
  • These rear bucks 111 and 112 are movable between a first remote configuration and a second pressing configuration.
  • the rear bucks 111 and 112 can be also mounbted to respective movable arms, which pivot relative to the framework 2, e.g. to cover an angle of more than 90° .
  • the rotation planes may be at 90° from each other, disposed symmetrically with respect to the plane ⁇ .
  • the invention discloses a method for pressing the waist and legs of trousers, which comprises the steps of:
  • the carriage with the waist bucks 51, 52 mounted thereto falls below the plane ⁇ and the bucks 51, 52 fit into the waist.
  • the bucks 51, 52 open apart sideways and the rear unit 32 (the one with the curved plate) retracts until the trousers 8 are sufficiently stretched, whereupon it stops.
  • the trouser clamping means 61 translate vertically downwards until the two legs of the trousers 8 are stretched.
  • the trouser pressing machine may advantageously include tension and/or shape control means which are applied by the rear and front units 32, 33 to the waist and by the trouser clamping means 61 to the legs.
  • the operator may operate such control means to adjust the respective positions of the bucks 51, 52 and the unit 32.
  • the front and rear waist pressing units 100, 110 move into their respective work configurations, in which the waist pressing step is carried out.
  • the pressing units 100, 110 move back to their respective remote positions and the bucks 51, 52 are moved back into the initial position.
  • the carriage 416 pushes the finger 411 beyond the waist of the trousers 8, when the hinged end of the finger 411 has moved past the trousers 8, the finger is pivoted downwards by 90° and then retracted, and at the same time the curved plate 321 moves into the closed position and the rear unit 32 retracts until the waistband of the trousers 8 is stretched, to obtain the configuration change as described above.
  • the machine 1 may be equipped with suitable sensors, such as drag force or pressure sensors, to terminate the movements that stretch the fabric of the trousers 8 before causing damages thereto.
  • suitable sensors such as drag force or pressure sensors
  • the fly buck 9 i.e. the element designed for pressing the zipper of the trousers is generally known in the art and rotates or translates horizontally relative to the trouser pressing machine; however, the fly buck 9 of the trouser pressing machine 1 of the present invention has an additional degree of freedom as compared with prior art fly bucks: since the finger 411 is required to engage the waistband of the trousers 8 at the fly location, this buck 9 has to be moved to clear the path of the finger 411 and be also capable of vertical motion, advantageously with the bucks 51, 52 of the waist unit 5.
  • the fly buck 9 moves from a work position, in which it can assist pressing of the waist of the trousers 8, to a rest position, in which it cannot assist pressing of the trousers 8.
