Process for bending cuts for manufacturing goods of leather or synthetical materials

A method for bending cuts in a blank for manufacturing goods of leather or synthetic materials, comprising:

• providing a pattern with cut-outs on a work bench provided with a cover having a screen for defining a delimited area, the cut-outs of the pattern being provided in a portion of their periphery with deformable protuberances which project out over the cut-outs, the pattern being made of a material that permits the pattern to adjust to the screen upon application of suction with the exception of those cut-out areas of the pattern having the protuberances and on which the blank with the cuts are placed and said cuts in turn are suctional, thus adjusting themselves to the configuration of the cut-outs thereby beginning to bend the cuts by action of the periphery of the cut-outs;
• placing the blank with the cuts to be bent onto the cut-outs wherein portions of the cuts to be bent are provided with adhesive;
• exerting a suction action onto the cuts to provide a suction field by means of an extractor delimited to the area of the screen for exerting suction mainly on the cuts placed on the cut-outs of the pattern to assist in bending the blank during application of suction through the cut-outs to the blank to conform the cuts to a desired configuration in accordance with the form of the cut-outs provided in the pattern placed onto the screen;
• and
• exerting pressure with a press for automatic operation against the bending of the cuts while these still remain on the cut-outs of the pattern to obtain the bending of the cuts while these still remain on the cut-outs of the pattern to bend the cuts.
