Automatic buckram attachment machine for draperies and process

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel, compact device for attaching correctly sized strips of buckram material along the top edge of an unstretched drapery panel and overcomes prior art alignment difficulties associated between the drapery panel and strips of buckram, while at the same time assuring the production of a square straight edge along the top edge of the drapery panel. The process includes the trimming away of pre-measured portion of the top edge of each panel thereby removing any unevenness that may have occurred during the production of the drapery panel. At the same time, the device maintains a straight flat alignment between the panel and the buckram strip and includes a novel doffing device for removing the drapery panel from the apparatus subsequent to the sewing process.
