Abstract

Abstract The invention provides a pinning table for fabric stacks of the type including: an upper fixed platen provided with openings, and intended to receive the fabric; a lower movable platen, parallel to the upper platen; a plurality of pins adapted to be introduced into said holes in the upper platen, and connected to said lower platen; and means for imparting a translational movement to the lower platen with respect to the fixed upper platen, in a direction perpendicular to said platens, wherein said lower platen is formed from at least a first and second superimposed plates each having a plurality of orifices arranged identically and corresponding to the openings in said upper platen, and in which the pins are introduced, at least one of said plates being slidable, in a limited way, with respect to the other plate through actuating means.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 185 words
A pinning table for fabric stacks comprising: an upper fixed platen provided with holes, and intended to receive said fabric stack; a lower movable platen, substantially parallel to said upper platen; a plurality of removable pins supported by said lower platen and adapted to be introduced into said holes in the upper platen; means for imparting a translational movement to said lower platen with respect to said fixed upper platen, in a direction perpendicular to said platens; and locking means for locking said pins in said lower platen, said locking means comprising at least first and second superimposed plates forming said lower platen, each of said first and second plates having a plurality of orifices arranged identically and corresponding to the holes in said upper platen, and in which said pins can be introduced, at least one of said plates being slidable, with respect to the other plate, through actuating means between two end positions, a first position in which said pins are free in said orifices and a second position in which said pins are locked in said orifices by jamming between said plates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 185 words
A pinning table for fabric stacks comprising: an upper fixed platen provided with holes, and intended to receive said fabric stack; a lower movable platen, substantially parallel to said upper platen; a plurality of removable pins supported by said lower platen and adapted to be introduced into said holes in the upper platen; means for imparting a translational movement to said lower platen with respect to said fixed upper platen, in a direction perpendicular to said platens; and locking means for locking said pins in said lower platen, said locking means comprising at least first and second superimposed plates forming said lower platen, each of said first and second plates having a plurality of orifices arranged identically and corresponding to the holes in said upper platen, and in which said pins can be introduced, at least one of said plates being slidable, with respect to the other plate, through actuating means between two end positions, a first position in which said pins are free in said orifices and a second position in which said pins are locked in said orifices by jamming between said plates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The pinning table as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first plate, disposed opposite said upper platen, is sidable over said second plate under the action of said actuation means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
The pinning table as claimed in claim 1, wherein sliding of said first plate is guided by two lateral flanges fixed on each side to said second plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
The pinning table as claimed in claim 1, wherein sliding of said first plate is limited, in the two end positions, by stops disposed on said second plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
The pinning table as claimed in claim 1 wherein means are provided for returning said first plate, to the first position, with respect to the second plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The pinning table as claimed in claim 1, wherein said orifices, in the first and second plates, are circular.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
The pinning table as claimed in in claim 1, wherein the input of the orifices of said first plate is tapered.
