DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a device for the fastening of buttons to for example a piece of garment. The fastening operation is intended to take place without any sewing operation and in a working cycle automated to a high degree. The intention is that a number of buttons should be fastened preferably at the same time in the same working cycle.
BACKGROUND
It is earlier known to fasten buttons to textile materials or similar without recurring to any sewing operation by fastening a projecting portion of the button to the material by means of riveting or a corresponding operation. The projection can in itself be designed to be formed to a rivet head, which cannot penetrate the material and holds the button, but there are also buttons designed with the head as a separate part, which is snapped-on or riveted to the head portion of the button. It has also been suggested in connection with such buttons that several buttons should be fastened simultaneously by way of example a whole row of buttons on a piece of garment, and it has been suggested that the projections should be inserted in the button holes corresponding to the respective cooperating buttons before the fastening. Thus, after the fastening operation the piece of garment would be buttoned up. In many cases it is preferred to deliver the garment for sale in buttoned-up condition, and if the buttons are fastened in a condition with their projections stretching through the buttonholes, a special buttoning-up operation is thus not necessary.
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
However, it has turned out that the manual preparations for such a fastening operation will require precision and is time consuming to perform, as several projections in succession shall be inserted through the buttonholes, whereafter the portion of the piece of garment, where the buttonholes are located, shall be in this position while that part of the piece of garment on which ends of the projections should be fastened and establishes the fastening operation. It is obvious that in order to carry out an operation within a reasonable time and with an acceptable result, good mechanical means are required.
THE SOLUTION
The object to obtain rational mechanical means for the mentioned operation is provided by means of a device, in which holding means for fastening of the different parts of the piece of garment or similar has a free and accessible position during the manual part of the fastening operation which is probable.
ADVANTAGES
By means of said solution it is obtained that different parts of for example a piece of garment on which the button-holes are situated and the buttons should be situated can be applicated in the machine in a convenient way, so that the application time can be reduced to the least possible one. It is also important that a great observation conditions are obtained, to make it possible to easily control if the mentioned parts have reached their correct positions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the device;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line II--II in FIG. 3 showing a detail in the same direction as in FIG. 1 but on an enlarged scale;
FIG. 3 is a front view of the device;
FIG. 4 is a partly sectional view of a detail as seen in the same direction as in FIG. 3, but on an enlarged scale; and
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a detail of the device along the line V--V in FIG. 1.
BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
According to the figures the device exhibits a frame 1, which supports a row of button fastening means 2. In FIG. 3, which is a front view, two button fastening means 2 are shown. However, from considerations of space the frame is broken, and it is the intention that it shall carry as many button fastening means as the number of buttons intended to be fastened in the same fastening operation. Thus, if a shirt shall be provided with buttons six to eight button fastening means are required. They are, however, of identical design, and the following description consequently relates to
