Abstract |
Paper presented to the Joint Regional Technical Committee for the Textile Industry (Comité technique régional des industries textiles), Lille, France. Most of these accidents are due to the flat bed seamers widely used in the tayloring trade, which can sew 6,000 stitches/min. Various types of guards are described: needle guards (pricks), screens (flying particles), remote operation. A removable guard (for rethreading) developed by the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) is described. |
