ABSTRACT:
The machine of the present invention is used to produce articles of apparel having an openable front or rear panel. It includes feeder mechanisms to supply two half width webs and webs for reinforced edges through cutter mechanisms where webs cut into segments for the desired garment are overlapped to provide a central opening. Segments are transferred to a carrier drum having folding devices which are operative while the drum rotates. A full width web with a pattern of adhesive pre-applied to selected margins is overlaid on top. The underlying segments have extension flaps along selected margins which are folded around and over the edges of the top panel segment and bondably seamed to it by means on, or co-acting with, the carrier drum. Seams can be made along transverse, longitudinal, or skewed lines by different folding device arrangements. In another embodiment, an openable front or rear panel can be produced by including a transverse vacuum folding roll to half fold overlapped segments into a front/rear panel configuration and means to then fold extensions on each rear half panel over the transversely folded front half portions positioned away from the drum surface. Machine arrangements can include special devices for features like pockets, shoulder pieces, shirt collars, etc.
