| 摘要 |
The machine of the present invention manufactures low-cost garments out of two plys of web material, preferably nonwoven material. It includes a pair of feeder mechanisms to supply two separate sheets of the web material through cutter mechanisms where the webs are cut into shapes suitable for the desired garment. The shapes of one sheet are larger than the shapes of the other sheet. The sheet with the larger shape is placed on a carrier, and the sheet with the smaller shape is placed thereupon. As the combined sheets are moved by the carrier, a plurality of folding mechanisms turns the edges of the larger sheet around the edges of the smaller sheet to create a seam which is subsequently secured, as by adhesives or sewing. The carrier may be either a rotating cylinder or it may move longitudinally. The seams may be created along machine direction lines, cross machine direction lines, or along lines at acute angles to either the direction of movement or perpendicular thereto.
