ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for supplying a secondary fabric to a fabric processing machine. The movement of the primary fabric to the fabric processing machine is interrupted and the primary fabric is clamped at spaced points. The primary fabric is severed at a point between the clamping points and the tail end of the primary fabric is aligned with the head end of the secondary fabric and the two are sewn together by a sewing machine which traverses the widths of the fabrics. The head end of the primary fabric is moved to a holding position. The clamp for the head end of the secondary fabric and the clamp for the tail end of the primary fabric are released and the feeding means for feeding the fabric is restarted to feed the secondary fabric to the fabric processing machine. After the desired amount of secondary fabric is processed by said fabric processing machine, its feeding to the fabric processing machine is interrupted, the secondary fabric is clamped at spaced points, and is severed at a point between the spaced clamping points. The tail end of the secondary fabric is then aligned with the head end of the primary fabric and the two are sewn together at a sewing station. The clamp for the head end of the primary fabric and the clamp for the tail end of the secondary fabric are then returned to their run positions and the clamp is released and the feeding means is restarted to move said primary fabric to said fabric processing machine. The method may be carried out manually by using the apparatus, or automatically by the automated apparatus. A fabric splicing system is also disclosed and claimed.
