(54) | Automatic machine for carrying out single and double contour pockets |
(57) The present paper describes a machine with a mobile lower platform (A) which automatically
produces pockets on articles of clothing. The fabric (T) is held firmly between the
abovelying blades (L1, L2) and the lower mobile platform (A) during sewing operations,
in order to avoid dragging the fabric (T) across the lower platform which generally
produces sewing defects along the borders of the pockets. A pressing arm (E) is lowered
by means of a piston (F) with an adjustable damper (H). Furthermore, the fold-over
blades (L1, L2) are L-shaped in order to maintain the fabric (T) stretched over the
cutting and sewing assembly, thereby avoiding wrinkling of the material while it is
being sewed. |
