ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to a piped opening for use in a garment and an apparatus for making the opening. The piped opening comprises corresponding die-cut slits or cuts formed in the front and facing portion of a garment with the flap or flaps defined thereby being reversely folded inwardly of the respective front and facing portions to define a corresponding opening therein. An edging patch having a complementary slit or cut and reversely folded patch flaps is secured to one of the portions with the patch flaps positioned contiguous to corresponding flaps of the adjacent portion to form a partially piped opening. The front and facing portions are then reversely folded to dispose the edging patch therebetween with the respective openings defined in each, disposed in coaxial alignment. The front and facing portions are then secured.
The apparatus for locating and forming an opening in a garment, e.g. the facing portion of a piece of material, which is adapted to correspond to a complementary partially formed piped opening in the front portion, comprises a means for supporting the front and facing portions of a piece of material in the expanded position thereof. The support is defined by a pair of hinged sections which are adapted to enfold between an open coplaner position and a folded overlying position. Means are provided for securing the piece of material in expanded position on the support. A locating means is operatively associated with one section of the support and a forming means is operatively associated with the other portion of the support member. Actuating means operatively couple the locating means with a forming means whereby the positioning of the locating means with respect to the partially formed piped opening formed, e.g. in the front portion of the garment effects the proper positioning of the forming means over the facing portion of the garment. With the forming means in position, the operating or forming head thereof is actuated to sequentially die cut or otherwise form the slit and reversely fold the flaps thus formed relative to the plane of the facing portion. With the opening located and formed on the piece of material, the sections of the support are folded to reversely fold the facing portion relative to the front for disposing the formed openings therein into alignment. A means is provided to secure the front and facing in overlying relationship.
