Abstract: Systems and methods for introducing hook fastening elements into a mold traveling along a mold assembly line is disclosed. The system can be configured to cut hook fastening tape into strips having a predetermined length based on information received from the mold assembly line, and to drop the cut strips directly into the mold at the appropriate intervals as the mold travels along the mold assembly line.

Abstract: A fly sewing machine comprising a fly carrying portion disposed on an upstream side of a fly carrying passage between a fly supply portion and a sewing machine and a carrying speed adjusting portion disposed on a downstream side is disclosed. The fly carrying portion comprises a plurality of carrying roller pairs having driver rollers and supporting rollers disposed vertically opposite each other, and the carrying speed adjusting portion comprises a pair of a drive roller and a supporting roller disposed vertically and roller gap adjusting means for adjusting a gap between the drive roller and the supporting roller By the time a following fly carried from the fly carrying portion is bitten into the gap between the drive roller and the supporting roller of the carrying speed adjusting portion, a predetermined interval is formed between a preceding fly and the following fly.

Abstract: An edge sewing apparatus for carrying out edge sewing in a curved shape along one side edge of a cloth piece in a strip-like shape while rotating the cloth piece, which includes: a press rotating member rotated in accordance with feeding of the cloth piece while pressing the cloth piece; a rotational angle measuring device that measures a rotational angle of the press rotating member; and a press releasing device that releases the press rotating member from being pressed when the rotational angle measured by the rotational angle measuring device reaches a predetermined angle.
