Abstract: A snap fastener attaching system employs a moveable carriage assembly which is controlled in linear motion by a belt system coupled to an actuator mechanism. The carriage assembly includes clamping means which are sequentially operated to clamp a garment on the assembly after emplacement by an operator. The depression of a start button enables the actuator to traverse a shaft. Associated with the actuator is a pivotable arm which is located in proximity to a selected shaft of a cam-containing turret assembly. As the actuator moves, the carriage moves proportionately due to the belt coupling system. Each time the actuator arm contacts a cam along the turret shaft, a fastener is emplaced on the garment by the snap fastener attaching machine associated with the carriage assembly. When the last fastener is emplaced, the apparatus is automatically returned to the starting position to enable accommodation of the next garment.

Abstract: A registration system is adapted to operate with a conventional snap fastener attachment machine and serves to position a fastener having a logo imprinted on a surface in any one of a plurality of desired positions to assure that the fastener, when emplaced on the garment, will be positioned to enable correct orientation of the logo. The fastener is associated with a notch, which notch is coated by one of a plurality of finger members associated with the registration system. The coaction of the notch by the finger member serves to terminate rotation of the fastener and further serves to indicate to the operator that orientation is correct. The finger members can be selected according to the nature or configuration of the garment to permit a single fastening machine to accomplish fastener attachment and automatic orientation of the same.
