(a) Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a manufacturing method for a seamless bag, and more particularly, to a manufacturing method for a seamless and integral handbag, while offering consistent manufacturing process for accelerating production speed of the handbag.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Common handbags are generally made of leather, plastic or fabrics cut out and stitched beforehand. Such handbags formed using stitching have seams with edges and corners, and therefore apparent hemlines usually exist in these handbags manufactured. Yet, the handbags having hemlines are allowed with limited designs only, and thus lack significant breakthroughs, advancement and variations for being immutable long since.
For those who are fond of changes and pursue the vogue, it is improbable that monotonous outfits and accessories satisfy their needs. A prior handbag is necessarily cut out before being manufactured, and then assembled into a body by stitching, with edges of assembly and hemlines formed as a part of an appearance of the handbag. Thus, the handbag inevitably has too many lines and becomes too complex regarding to the style thereof. However, modern design concepts prefer to perform latest fashions using least lines possible for presenting a sense of cutting edge, so as to appease those who pursue the vogue. It is only obvious that the prior handbags have drawbacks since failing to achieve the above requirement.
In addition, the prior handbags have to be processed by cutting and stitching, and are relatively slower with respect to manufacturing speed thereof. Also, most processing is completed manually, and targets including mass production and lowering production cost can hardly be fulfilled.
In the view of the aforesaid drawbacks of the prior handbags, the primary object of the invention is to provide manufacturing method for a seamless and integral handbag, such that consistent manufacturing process is also offered for accelerating production speed thereof.
The manufacturing method for a seamless bag according to the invention comprises the steps of: forming yarns by adding an appropriate amount of setting yarns to natural or chemical fibers; weaving the yarns into a seamless bag body; accommodating the bag body around a mold having a shape of a bag; heating the mold accommodated by the bag body by means of steam or other heat sources for allowing the bag body to be evenly heated; cooling and setting the heated bag body and the mold by cold air for forming a seamless bag; and stitching and shaping the bag. According to the above manufacturing method, a seamless and integral handbag is completed, while also offering consistent manufacturing process for accelerating manufacturing speed thereof.
To better understand the invention, detailed descriptions shall be given with the accompanying drawings hereunder.
Referring to
According to the above manufacturing method and referring to
Moreover, the bag body 10 is directly weaved and shaped from yarns without producing seams, and can be directly weaved and shaped using automatic weaving machines without undergoing cutting and stitching. As a result, complications and inconveniences of manual processing are decreased, and hence achieving mass production for lowering production costs.
Referring to
The bag body 10 may also be weaved as being circular, square-like or rectangular in shape, and can be made into the handbag 11 or other bags of the like for offering diversified styles and adapting to market demands.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
