Filed:

Mar 10, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/037467

Inventors:

CHARLES BLOCK - NORTH BELLMORE NY, US
GEORGE GIBBS - WESTBURY NY, US

International Classification:

B26D007/02

US Classification:

083/452000, 083/614000

Abstract:

An automatic handle end cutter to cut individual handles from a web of handle material. A shuttle clamp grips the web and advances it into a cutting area at which time the web is held by two further clamps. The shuttle clamp withdraws and a first cutter cuts the web at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle. This is followed by a second cutter which cuts the web at an angle to the handle axis giving handle ends with the corners removed. The severed and configured end handle is ejected and the cycle begun again.

Charles Block - North Bellmore NY
Leon Mintz - Syosset NY

Assignee:

Joseph Galkin Corporation - Hicksville NY

International Classification:

D05B 320
D05B 2300

US Classification:

112104

Abstract:

The present invention teaches a system which, utilizing pneumatic logic, folds and positions pre-cut belt loop material for joinder to pants. The pre-cut material is loaded while joinder is occuring. Two pairs of upstanding pins supported by fingers receive individually cut belt loop fabric pieces which can be made from scrap to match colors and, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, two tacks secure the loop to pants in the case of jeans. A novel adjustable cam control arrangement and means for rotating the fingers is described in the following specification. In a second embodiment, one visible and one invisible tack can be made securing the belt loop to the pants, with the visible and invisible tacks being placed either top and bottom or bottom and top, respectively, as selected.

International Classification:

D05B 2100
D05B 2710
D05B 1100

US Classification:

112 21

Abstract:

An automatic flange applying machine for sewing the raw edges of a mattress panel and attaching a flange strip. A multi-speed sewing machine sews at high speed along straight sides and a straight top end and bottom end and forms rounded corners at a slower speed as the mattress panel is incrementally rotated about a pivot point. Photodetectors align the edges of the panel with the sewing needles while other detectors determine the location of the panel so that suitable operations begin. The panel is moved by pressure rollers through the sewing machine and the corners are formed by reversing certain of the rollers.

Assignee:

Joseph Galkin Corporation - Hicksville NY

International Classification:

D05B 2704
D05B 2906

US Classification:

112304

Abstract:

A synchronized, indexed positive material top feeding system for use with sewing and other applications. For example, material being fed to and through the sewing area of a sewing machine, is constantly "gripped" at the top thereof in front of, behind and in the sewing area as well as through an adjustable presser bar. This process takes place without affecting machine speeds, and in feeding movement that is synchronized with the machine feed dog for similar or variable stitch travel. This process is facilitated by a belt with "teeth" that contact and provide frictional engagement of the top of the material.

Appl. No.:

6/468001

Inventors:

Charles Block - North Bellmore NY
Leon Mintz - Syosset NY

Assignee:

Joseph Galkin Corporation - Hicksville NY

International Classification:

B26D 508

US Classification:

83582

Abstract:

A fluid actuated cutting machine comprising a stationary lower blade and a vertically movable upper blade mounted at one end to a pivot rod. The upper blade is disposed at angle relative to the horizontal plane. The other free end of the upper blade is disposed beyond a vertical plane on which lies the cutting edge of the lower blade. A pressure arm, mounted on a cantilivered beam connected to the base of the machine, acts against any tendency for the upper blade to align its cutting edge with the cutting edge of the lower blade. During its downward movement, the upper blade is constantly drawn from its horizontally angled position relative to the lower blade towards alignment with the lower blade. This movement is resisted by the pressure arm. The resistance causes a firm cutting pressure between the two blades at the constantly moving contact point during the downward movement of the upper blade.

Inventors:

Charles Block - North Bellmore NY

International Classification:

B25C 100

US Classification:

173171

Abstract:

The present invention teaches a powered tagging system in the forms of either a power attachment for an existing tagger, or a complete powered tagger. This invention virtually eliminates problems associated with carpal tunnel syndrome in users by providing actuating means other than those requiring conventional triggering hand muscles. Means are provided which shield otherwise conventional triggering means. A lightweight, compact, yet powerful power system is provided within a balanced assembly capable of manipulation in one hand.
