Apparatus and method for cutting a continuous length of strip-like material into elongate strips and forming the strips into fastened loops such as belt loops and the like, including drawing means for drawing an amount of material from a supply, a cutter for cutting the drawn material into a strip of a predetermined length, grasping fingers for grasping the strip at the cutter and for transferring the strip to a forming area, a forming trough, mandrel and folding fingers which forms the strip into a loop, and a stapler for stapling the strip into a fastened loop. The operations of drawing the material from the supply and cutting the material into strips occur simultaneously with the steps of forming and stapling a previously-cut strip, so that high speeds of operation are possible.

Tubular bag material is threaded downwardly between spaced support members. A garment support assembly is inserted into the tubular bag material at a level below the support members and then moved upwardly between the support members and rests on the support members. A garment is hung from the hook at the lower end of a downwardly projecting support rod extending from the garment support assembly and the tubular bag material is pulled downwardly by an operator about the garment. A bag cutting and sealing means moves into contact with the tubular bag material about the support rod to form the upper end of the bag about the garment and to cut the formed bag away from the tubular bag material. The operator then pulls the formed bag away from the tubular bag material down onto the garment.

A series of shirt cuff pattern parts are placed in overlying relationship on a web of lining material and a conveyor belt engages the upper surfaces of the web of lining material and the pattern parts and holds the layers of material together as they are moved through a sewing machine. The overlying side edge of each of the pattern parts is folded down under an edge of the web of lining material, and the sewing machine sews through the folds. A predetermined range of lengths of the connected together series of partially completed shirt cuffs is continuously accumulated from the sewing machine, and are continually fed from the accumulation to a cutter, and are separated by cutting the web of lining material adjacent the trailing edge of a pattern part so that each partially completed shirt cuff is formed with a short length of the web of lining material protruding from the shirt cuff panel pattern part, and the pattern parts are stacked.

As a strip of material is intermittently moved along its length from a reel, it is heated so as to remove its curl, it is cut into segments in the form of collar stays, and adhesive is applied to one surface of the collar stay segments. The individual collar stays are then moved laterally into alignment with spaced collar template elements, and then moved into overlying relationship with the pointed portions of the collar template elements, and a worker manually inserts a partially completed collar structure about the template elements. The worker presses the collar material against the adhesive on the collar stay and lifts both the collar and the collar stays from the templates, with the adhesive carrying the collar stays with the collar material. The collar stays are subsequently sewn into the collar with top stitching about the edge of the collar structure.

Sheet material is moved along its length from a supply to a take-up spool and the material is inspected as it is moved. A garment pattern image is projected on and is moved with the material. The operator determines where the material is to be cut either from the length accumulated on the take-up spool or from the image projected on the material, and if a flaw in the material is detected, the operator determines if the flaw should be removed by identifying the pattern part in the garment from the image projected on the material where the flaw will appear. If the flaw is to be removed, the operator cuts the flaw out and splices the cut ends of material together at splice marks in the image projected on the material. The spools loaded with sheet material with this procedure are loaded in a creel, and the ends of the sheets of material from the spools in the creel are aligned in a vertically stacked arrangement and moved to a cutting apparatus where the garment pattern is cut in the stacked sheets of material.

A carton sealer system moves a plurality of boxes with telescoping upper and lower sections along a horizontal conveyor path, and the top sections are lifted to expose the side walls of the bottom section. Adhesive is applied to the exposed side walls of the bottom sections, the top sections are urged downwardly to their fully closed positions, and the top wall of the top section is urged downwardly and the side walls are pressed inwardly to expel the air from the box and to seal the sections of the box together.

Fabric cutting apparatus for accurately cutting over-cut pattern pieces, including a pair of band knives spaced apart a distance equal to the width of the pattern pieces, and a plurality of clamp members which hold a stack of the over-cut pattern pieces while a continuous conveying means carries the clamp members between the band knives for cutting.

An automatic apparatus and method for forming a V-top shirt pocket or similar article with a folded region, sewing a stitch to hold the fold, and stacking a plurality of same with distributed hem build-up. An unfolded ply of material is provided to a folding station, which forms a tucked edge fold in the material. The ply is then held at the tucked edge, and the opposite end is folded over a folding rod with an air jet. Holding fingers descend to hold the fold in the ply. A transport carriage arrives at the folding station to retrieve the folded, edge-tucked ply. The transport carriage includes a clamp, which clamps on the folded, edge-tucked ply to hold the fold and edge tuck as the folding station elements retract. The transport carriage carries the folded, edge-tucked held ply through a sewing station in synchronization with a sewing machine, where a V-shaped hem is sewn. The transport carriage is biased against a pattern cam as the ply is carried through the sewing station and sewn, to form a sewn pattern. The transport carriage then carries the ply to a stacking station. At the stacking station, the sewn pocket is deposited atop a stack plate. Holding fingers positively hold the sewn pocket against the stack plate. The transport carriage returns to the folding station to retrieve another ply. The stack plate withdraws, and the holding fingers positively urge the sewn pocket against the top of a stack. An improved stack table holding the stack of plies descends and rotates 90 degrees, to distribute build-up in stack thickness due to the folded sewn region.
