Fabric section transfer - utilises pneumatic drive on needled elements to pick=up separate sections

摘要

Fabric section transfer equipment consists of twp dual grip elements with opposing angles for the needle settings. These are suspended on spring bars from a top frame. A pneumatic drive pushes the element apart, and at the same time the needle arrangement engages in the fabric. The top frame is then lifted and manoevered into the required position. ADVANTAGE - The equipment is suitable for larger fabric sections, and has facilities to adapt methods of transferring sections which are sepd. by a slit, or a shape in the fabric.
