ABSTRACT:
A pleating machine for automatically forming pleated drapes from blank drapery panels. The pleating machine is comprised of six stations which cooperate automatically under the control of a controller. The pleating machine is comprised of a loading station, a loop-forming station, an overhead transfer assembly, a corner sewing station, at least one pleat and sewing station and at least one ejection assembly. After a drapery panel is loaded in the pleating machine, the machine automatically forms a header in the panel, determines the spacing required to form pleats uniformly across the panel just loaded and forms uniformly spaced single loops along the header. Thereafter, the corners of the header are sewn, and the entire panel is transferred to the pleat and sewing station, where each loop is formed into a pleat and sewn. After the last pleat is sewn the entire panel is ejected. The pleating machine can simultaneously deal with a plurality of drapery panels so as to continuously produce completed drapes that are ready for shipping.
