Drapery manufacturing device

Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides improvement in a drapery manufacturing device of the type including: an upstanding frame having first and second spaced, vertical plane defining, parallel guide tracks; a trolley transversely spanning the tracks and movably connected thereto for vertical movement with respect to the frame and including a transverse member; means on the transverse member of the trolley to grasp an edge of a panel to be formed into a drapery to hold the panel in a vertically extending plane on upward movement of the trolley with respect to the frame; drive means to move the trolley vertically with respect to the frame; and reference means defining a horizontal reference plane adjacent the lower end of the frame. Basically, the improvement provided by the present invention comprises combining with such a device marker means located adjacent to the lower end of its frame for movement relative to its reference means to mark a horizontal line on the drapery panel such that the panel can be subsequently removed from the device and then creased by means located remote from the device. In accordance with other aspects of the present invention, such a device is preferably additionally improved by further combining the marker means with cutting means mounted therewith on carriage means for horizontal movement relative to the lower end of its frame across the space between the vertical frame guide tracks for simultaneously trimming the panel lower edge while the folding line is also being marked thereon by the marker means.
