Abstract
Apparatus for forming a component of shoulder straps for ladies garments, including a tape with a two-slot buckle sewn onto one end. A feature of the apparatus is a pivotable buckle holding and transfer device arranged to receive horizontal buckles at a delivery point and pivotable through about a right angle to move the buckles from the delivery point to a threading position adjacent the operative part of a sewing machine in which latter position the buckles are disposed vertically. Threading means are provided for advancing a free end of tape past the operative part of the sewing machine and through one slot in the vertically held buckle, and bending means are provided for bending the free end of tape towards the other slot in the buckle. Blade means are provided for pushing the free end of tape through the other slot in the buckle and into a position adjacent the main part of tape extending from the buckle, so that adjacent parts of the tape are suitably positioned for sewing together around the central part of the buckle.
