Title:
PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OF GARMENTS TO AUTOMATIC FOLDING MACHINES AND CONVEYOR COATHANGERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1989000964
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process and a device for automatic transfer of garments (3) to automatic folding machines (2), a conveyor coathanger (8) and a tow hook (11), specifically designed for this purpose, a device (25) for removing the coathangers and a device (38) for transferring the coathangers. The garments (3) are conveyed on a conveyor section (6) and are placed and held on the inclined work surface (4) of the automatic folding machine (2). In order to remove the supporting coathangers (8), the latter are displaced over a corresponding inclined section (10) of the conveyor device (1) in the direction of slope of the work surface. The conveyor coathanger (8) has arms (13) with closed ends designed as expanding springs. The expanding springs have a dead centre position beyond which they open or close automatically, depending on the direction of movement. The device (25) for removing the coathangers, in co-operation with the tow hook (11), ensures reliable removal and opening of the empty coathangers. The device (38) for transferring the coathangers takes the loaded coathangers (8) from a conveyor section and turns them until they reach a suitable position for folding.
