ABSTRACT:
A snap fastener attaching system employs a moveable carriage assembly which is controlled in linear motion by a belt system coupled to an actuator mechanism. The carriage assembly includes clamping means which are sequentially operated to clamp a garment on the assembly after emplacement by an operator. The depression of a start button enables the actuator to traverse a shaft. Associated with the actuator is a pivotable arm which is located in proximity to a selected shaft of a cam-containing turret assembly. As the actuator moves, the carriage moves proportionately due to the belt coupling system. Each time the actuator arm contacts a cam along the turret shaft, a fastener is emplaced on the garment by the snap fastener attaching machine associated with the carriage assembly. When the last fastener is emplaced, the apparatus is automatically returned to the starting position to enable accommodation of the next garment.
The attaching system employs adjustable guide mechanisms and a turret can be selectively activated to enable the apparatus to accommodate different size garments; while further including a conveyor or garment handling assembly for automatically transporting the garment from one machine to another for attaching corresponding counterparts to the garment.
