Abstract
Abstract A shirt sleeve cuff making method and apparatus wherein a continuous length of cuff lining material is passed through tandem sewing heads, and pairs of cuff panels are placed upon the lining material and are sewn along their aligned edges to one edge of the lining material by one sewing head and the overlying edge of the lower cuff panel of each pair is folded downwardly about the opposite edge of the lining material and sewn thereto by the other sewing head. The continuous lining material with the cuff panels sewn thereto are then passed to a second sewing station where the lining material is cut between the pairs of cuff panels and the edges of the cuff panels adjacent the cut in the lining material are sewn to the lining material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A process of making shirt sleeve cuffs or the like comprising: passing a generally continuous length of cuff lining material along a predetermined path, continually placing pairs of cuff panels in stacked alignment with each other in overlying relationship on the cuff lining material with an edge of the pairs of cuff panels aligned with an edge of the lining material at first position along the path, sewing the cuff panels and lining material together along the aligned edges of the cuff panels and lining material at a second position along the path, folding the free edge of the lower cuff panel of the pairs of cuff panels across from the stitched edge of the lining around the unstitched edge of the lining material at a third position along the path, and sewing the folded edge of the lower cuff panels to the lining material at a fourth position along the path with a sewing motion generally in timed relationship with the sewing motion at the second position along the path.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
A process of making shirt sleeve cuffs or the like comprising: passing a generally continuous length of cuff lining material along a predetermined path, continually placing pairs of cuff panels in stacked alignment with each other in overlying relationship on the cuff lining material with an edge of the pairs of cuff panels aligned with an edge of the lining material at first position along the path, sewing the cuff panels and lining material together along the aligned edges of the cuff panels and lining material at a second position along the path, folding the free edge of the lower cuff panel of the pairs of cuff panels across from the stitched edge of the lining around the unstitched edge of the lining material at a third position along the path, and sewing the folded edge of the lower cuff panels to the lining material at a fourth position along the path with a sewing motion generally in timed relationship with the sewing motion at the second position along the path.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The process of claim 1 and wherein the step of passing the cuff lining material along the path comprises moving the cuff lining material along the path during the sewing steps at the second and fourth positions along the path and terminating the movement of the cuff lining material upon the termination of the sewing steps.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 and further including the step of rolling the stitched shirt cuff panels and lining material in a roll.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
The process of claim 1 and further including the steps of folding the edge of the upper cuff panel of the pairs of cuff panels at the folded edge of the lower cuff panel about the folded edge of the lower cuff panel, and simultaneously cutting across the lining material between adjacent pairs of cuff panels along the lining material and sewing the edges of the pairs of cuff panels adjacent the cut across the lining material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
The process of claim 4 and further including the step of cutting away with a curved cut the corners of the pairs of cuff panels across from the folded edges of the pairs of cuff panels, and wherein the step of sewing the edges of the pairs of cuff panels adjacent the cut across the lining material includes sewing adjacent the curved cut of the cuff panels.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process of making shirt sleeve cuffs comprising: passing a continuous length of cuff lining material with pairs of cuff panels stitched thereto at closely spaced intervals to a cutting and sewing station, simultaneously cutting across the cuff lining material between adjacent ones of the pairs of cuff panels and sewing the edges of the pairs of cuff panels adjacent the cut across the lining material to the lining material along the cut across the lining material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process of making shirt sleeve cuffs comprising: passing a continuous length of cuff lining material with pairs of cuff panels stitched thereto at closely spaced intervals to a cutting and sewing station, simultaneously cutting across the cuff lining material between adjacent ones of the pairs of cuff panels and sewing the edges of the pairs of cuff panels adjacent the cut across the lining material to the lining material along the cut across the lining material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
The process of claim 6 and further including the step of cutting into the lining material and adjacent pairs of cuff panels with a curved cut across from the edges of the pairs of cuffs and lining material which are first sewn and cut by the simultaneous cutting and sewing steps.
