  • Method of fabricating shirt cuffs
    Patent number: 3970021
    Abstract: A series of shirt cuff pattern parts are placed in overlying relationship on a web of lining material and a conveyor belt engages the upper surfaces of the web of lining material and the pattern parts and holds the layers of material together as they are moved through a sewing machine. The overlying side edge of each of the pattern parts is folded down under an edge of the web of lining material, and the sewing machine sews through the folds. A predetermined range of lengths of the connected together series of partially completed shirt cuffs is continuously accumulated from the sewing machine, and are continually fed from the accumulation to a cutter, and are separated by cutting the web of lining material adjacent the trailing edge of a pattern part so that each partially completed shirt cuff is formed with a short length of the web of lining material protruding from the shirt cuff panel pattern part, and the pattern parts are stacked.
