ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an apparatus which forms and folds a precut pocket patch and sets it in position on a garment panel, ready to be sewn by an adjacent sewing machine. The apparatus comprises a holding blade on which a precut pocket patch is manually positioned, and a pocket patch-forming and folding assembly located over the holding blade. The latter and the assembly are vertically movable one with respect to the other and to an underlying garment panel support table. The assembly includes a forming plate, having a flat underface and a downwardly-extending rim at its periphery creating a cavity to receive the pocket patch; the latter is clamped and its margin creased by the rim about the edge of the holding blade. The assembly further carries around its periphery folding blades which move inwardly underneath the holding blade to complete the folding of the pocket patch. The contour of the holding blade and of the plate cavity corresponds to the desired contour of the folded patch. The folded pocket patch is pressed down on the garment panel; the folding blades retract outwards, and the forming and folding assembly moves up and the holding blade keeps the patch on the garment panel until the conventional sewing clamp engages the patch, at which time the holding blade is retracted. The sewing clamp then transfers the assembled pocket and garment panel to the sewing station, ready for sewing.
