METHOD AND MACHINE FOR APPLICATION OF DECORATIVE MOVIE IN CLOTHING ARTICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a machine for applying decorative thermoplastic film to 3d surfaces of garments which is fully automatic and employs heat, depression and positive pressure to fix the film to the surfaces. The machine consists of a movable table (11) that slides on rails (12) by the action of pneumatic or electric actuators (13) and has jigs (14) where the articles to be decorated are positioned; a first frame (15) attached to the table (11) by pneumatic vertical cylinders (16); a second frame (17) movable vertically through pneumatic vertical cylinders (18) which contacts the first frame (15) retaining the decorative film; electrical resistors (19) positioned within the chamber (20) integral with a movable plate (21) for heating the decorative film; the frame assembly (15 and 17) moves down and against the table (11) through the pneumatic cylinders (16) causing the heated decorative film (fd) to contact the top surface of the articles and creating an airtight chamber lower (ci), into which a vacuum is generated; the chamber (20) integral with the plate (21) moves vertically on a busbar (22) by the action of a vertical hydraulic cylinder (23) and contacts the second frame (17) forming an upper chamber (cs), inside which is Positive pressure is generated for the final pressing of the decorative film (fd) on the articles and a support structure (3) with pneumatic, hydraulic and control system components.
