Abstract
In a system (10) for prefabricating strings of pocket facing strips and welts on a continuous basis, the assembly proceeds in parallel along opposite sides of a table (12). Along the facing strip fabrication portion (18) of the system (10), adhesive backed tape (28) from a supply reel is directed to a bonding station (84) where facing strips (108) are positioned and adhesively attached to the tape, after which the tape and attached facing strips are wound onto a takeup reel. In the welt fabrication portion (20) of the system (10), adhesive backed tape (48) from a supply reel is indexed along a feedpath to a bonding station (84') where sections of fabric (154) are positioned and adhesively secured to the tape. From there the tape (48) is indexed to an adhesive application station (172) where adhesive (174) is applied to the top surface of the tape, after which each fabric section (154) is folded over and adhesively secured to the tape at a folding/bonding station (230) prior to collection on a takeup reel.
