Multi-feed system

A method for creating a continuous stream of elements of garments, the method comprising, with a multi-line fusing press and a multi-line compactor:

• (A) simultaneously and continuously, for each line of a plurality of lines, each line having a corresponding blower, a corresponding guide, and a corresponding feeder:
• (A)(0) passing a first substrate through said multi-line compactor to produce a corresponding first compacted substrate;
• (A)(1) passing said first compacted substrate under the corresponding blower for said line and into the corresponding guide for said line;
• (A)(2) feeding, using said corresponding feeder for said line, a continuous fusible substrate into said corresponding guide for said line to position said fusible substrate above said first compacted substrate;
• (A)(3) feeding, via said corresponding guide for said line and into said multi-line fusing press, a combination of said fusible substrate and said first substrate, said fusible substrate positioned above said first compacted substrate;
• and
• (A)(4) said multi-line fusing press pressing said combination of said fusible substrate positioned above said first compacted substrate.

A system for creating a continuous stream of elements of garments, the system comprising,

• a multi-line fusing press;
• and
• a plurality of lines, each line having a corresponding blower, a corresponding guide, and a corresponding feeder,
• wherein, in operation, the system simultaneously and continuously, for each line of the plurality of lines:
• (A)(1) passes a first substrate under the corresponding blower for said line and into the corresponding guide for said line;
• (A)(2) feeds, using said corresponding feeder for said line, a continuous fusible substrate into said corresponding guide for said line to position said fusible substrate above said first substrate;
• and
• (A)(3) feeds, via said corresponding guide for said line and into said multi-line fusing press, a combination of said fusible substrate and said first substrate, said fusible substrate positioned above said first substrate;
• and
• wherein said multi-line fusing press simultaneously and continuously presses said combination of said fusible substrate positioned above said first substrate for each of said lines.
