Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to, using self-vulcanizing material in the form of a narrow tape or thread (1), wind the tape or thread (1) around the sewing thread (7) of the sewed-on button (3) between the button (3) and a textile (2) in question a few turns, and after that, tear off the tape or thread (1). The remaining tape or thread (1) is pressed together using a pliers-like hand tool (4) into a soft neck (10), which within approx. two hours has been vulcanized together. Then, the sewing thread (7) does not unwind and the button (3) stably stays in place. The invention also relates to a means for carry out the method.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a piece for attaching buttons or the like, capable of using standard buttons and of attaching buttons which can be easily detached and which impart a usage sensation no different from standard buttons. In order to resolve the above-described problem, the present invention is a piece (1) for attaching buttons or the like for detachably attaching buttons (10) or the like to fabric, comprising: an attaching piece main portion (2) having a main through-hole (2c) through which thread (12) passed through a button attaching hole formed in the fabric is inserted and the thread extending from the button or the like to be attached to the fabric; a thread anchoring portion (4) for winding thread passing through the main through-hole; and a thread gripping portion (6) for gripping and affixing the end of thread wound on the thread anchoring portion.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and an apparatus for rapidly orienting and advancing buttons to be sewn. The invention employs a Programmable Logic Controller to control the steps of orientation and advancement and eliminates the need for time consuming set-up and adjustment of limit switches to control the movement of components within the button oriented and advancer. The use of a Controller to actuate the steps of orientation and advancement allows for the reduction of parts and consolidation of parts onto one plate that may be easily affixed to an industrial sewing head.

Abstract: The equipment for automatically feeding a sewing machine with a sock tip comprises a device for gripping the sock from the area of formation of the same on a circular machine for socks and at least one device for transferring the gripping device to a predetermined final position for feeding the sewing machine, which comprises rotation means of the gripping device adapted to impart a rotation speed to it that is synchronised with the rotation speed of the needle cylinder of the circular machine when the gripping device is in a predetermined position inside the needle cylinder so as to form an annular gap with the latter, inside which the sock arranges during its formation.

Abstract: When producing men's/women's jackets of every kind of length to order of a customer, front buttons and waist pockets are set and attached in well-balanced positions, while maintaining a position of a waist shape for the jacket, by defining an upper part of a back length line as a center back waist length and its lower part as a hip length (below waist) respectively and reflecting a value of the center back waist length in pattern design, setting a top one of the front buttons in a position a prescribed length above the back length line according to the center back waist length or a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length, and setting a bottom one of the front buttons and waist pockets in positions a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length. In the women's jacket, the center back waist length ranges from 34-45 cm and the hip length ranges from 15-38 cm, the top button is set and attached in a position 1.5-14.
