  • Patent number: 5564356
    Abstract: A piece of textile goods is selvedged along an edge extending between ends of the piece by gripping a strip of the piece offset from the edge and displacing it parallel to the edge at a constant travel speed such that successive portions of the edge pass through a plurality of folding stations followed by a sewing station. The edge is folded over as it passes through the folding stations and the folded-over edge is stitched together in the sewing station. The portions are gripped in each station upstream of the sewing station as they pass through. To eliminate an out-of-square condition the gripped portion is advanced when it is adjacent one end of the goods at a speed that is greater than the constant travel speed, the gripped portion is advanced when it is adjacent the other end of the goods at a speed which is less than the constant travel speed, and the gripped portion is advanced when it is offset the ends of the goods at a speed which is substantially equal to the constant travel speed.

  • Patent number: 4881479
    Abstract: Pieces are cut off the end of a long web by first impaling the leading end of the web on a crosswise circulating needle bar that is then moved downstream from a cutting to a holding section. Then at the cutting station another such circulating needle bar and a noncirculating needle bar are poked through the web, with the noncirculating bar being downstream (relative to the displacement direction of the web) of the circulating bar. Then the web is cut across between the two upstream bars and the noncirculating bar and the downstream circulating bar are dropped down to transfer the piece thus cut from themselves to a transverse needle-chain conveyor. Then the circulating bar is moved back from the downstream holding station to the upstream cutting station while the second circulating bar pulls another piece of the web downstream across above the transverse conveyor.
