Abstract

Abstract A method of making waistbands for pants and other garments wherein a series of waistband panels are joined together in endto-end relationship to form a continuous series of waistband panels, a continuous band of facing material is fed into abutting relationship with one edge of the series of panels and is continuously rocaped to the series of panels. The panels are marked and belt loop material is fed in a continuous strip toward the panels, cut to proper length, the lengths are crimped and folded at their ends and sewn to the panels in positions corresponding to the markings. Labels are sewn to the facing material at positions corresponding to the ends of the panels, sales tickets are basted to waistband panels, the panels are separated and the facing material is cut at positions adjacent the ends of the waistband panels alternately with a straight cut extending across the facing material and with a Y-shaped cut to remove a portion of the facing material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
In an apparatus for forming waistband panels or the like, the combination therewith of belt loop forming apparatus comprising cutting means for cutting belt loop lengths from a supply of belt loop material, crimping means for forming a crimp in one end of the belt loop and folding means for forming a fold in the other end of the belt loop.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
In an apparatus for forming waistband panels or the like, the combination therewith of belt loop forming apparatus comprising cutting means for cutting belt loop lengths from a supply of belt loop material, crimping means for forming a crimp in one end of the belt loop and folding means for forming a fold in the other end of the belt loop.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The invention of claim 1 and wherein said folding means includes means for applying adhesive to the belt loop.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
A belt loop comprising an elongated strip of material defining a central body, a crimp adjacent one end thereof, the other end folded back over a portion of the central body, and adhesive applied to the folded portion thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A belt loop comprising an elongated strip of material defining a central body, a crimp adjacent one end thereof, the other end folded back over a portion of the central body, and adhesive applied to the folded portion thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The belt loop of claim 3 and wherein the adhesive is applied to the facing surfaces of said folded end and said central body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 70 words
Apparatus for forming belt loops or the like comprising means for moving a length of belt loop material along a path, cutting means for cutting the length of belt loop material into shorter lengths, crimping means positioned on opposite sides of said cutting means for forming crimps in the belt loop material, and adhesive applying means adjacent one of said crimping means for applying adhesive to the belt loop material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 70 words
Apparatus for forming belt loops or the like comprising means for moving a length of belt loop material along a path, cutting means for cutting the length of belt loop material into shorter lengths, crimping means positioned on opposite sides of said cutting means for forming crimps in the belt loop material, and adhesive applying means adjacent one of said crimping means for applying adhesive to the belt loop material.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 65 words
A method of forming belt loops or the like comprising passing a length of belt loop material along its length through a predetermined path, cutting the belt loop material into shorter lengths to form belt loops, crimping the belt loops at one of their ends, folding the belt loop at its other end, and applying an adhesive to the folded end of the belt loop.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 65 words
A method of forming belt loops or the like comprising passing a length of belt loop material along its length through a predetermined path, cutting the belt loop material into shorter lengths to form belt loops, crimping the belt loops at one of their ends, folding the belt loop at its other end, and applying an adhesive to the folded end of the belt loop.
