MINI SAREE PLEATING MACHINE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the field of fashion. More specifically, the invention we propose related to a machine that automatically pleats a saree that gives a perfect look which immensely uses hooks and parallel plate to take the pleats of the saree.
BACKGROUND
A saree is one of the oldest, unstitched and most iconic traditional garment typically worn by women in South Asia, especially in India, with a rich history and cultural significance. It is often associated with cultural, ceremonial, and festive occasions and can give a great look when draped with a perfect pleat. A saree pleating machine is a device designed to automate the process of pleating a saree. The machine aims to simplify and speed up the process of wearing a saree, which can be complex and time-consuming especially for working women. This machine have the potential to make wearing a saree more accessible and convenient, especially for those who are new to wearing a saree or have difficulty in draping them manually. The mechanism of a saree pleating machine typically involves a combination of mechanical and electrical components that work together to pleat a saree. This electromechanical machine aims to simplify and speed up the process, making it more accessible and efficient. These systems help in adjusting the fabric in real-time to achieve the perfect look. This machine is exclusively for woman and girls who wish to drape a saree with perfect pleats. The machine holds hooks to feed the saree into the machine, and the plate rotates in an organized manner to pleat it. This machine will be a great invention to womanhood. It will be used as a home appliance, or we can use it in beauty stations.
We often feel difficulty in draping a saree and taking a perfect pleat. Big pleats on shoulder will damage the entire look of saree within a second. Taking perfect and small pleats even for an ordinary saree makes it elegant and provides a rich look. So perfect pleating is much more important. Our invention automates the pleating process, reducing manual labor. This mini machine ensures uniform pleats, enhancing the saree's appearance. In industries, a faster production of pre-pleated sarees will be provided as an output after the invention of the machine. Evidence of the saree or similar garments can be traced to the Indus Valley Civilization, around 2800-1800 BCE. The saree as we know it evolved over time, influenced by various cultures and periods, including the Vedic period, the Maurya and Gupta empires. Our invention greatly reduces the time required to drape a saree, making it ideal for events or busy schedules. Provides uniform draping, ensuring that the saree looks neat and elegant every time.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a machine which could take perfect pleats for a saree along the border of the pallu. We can make pleats smaller and smaller with this machine according to the needs.
Another object of the present invention is to reduce the time taken to pleat the saree and to make it completely beautiful.
Further the present invention provides a machine which will be affordable to buy, portable and user friendly for all age of people in the society. Yet another object of our invention is that it will be very useful for those who run to beauty stations for pleating a saree. Finally the main object of our invention is that you may not need to spend a lot on pleating a saree at parlour instead you can do that by yourself at your home itself.
SUMMARY
The present invention is specially made to reduce the work of every woman. Suppose, When you're going for a marriage and when you wanted to look good in saree, the 1st thought is to take a perfect pleat. But, is that easy? It takes an hour or more than that to pleat a single saree to get a perfect look.
Here, we bring a mini handheld machine which exactly fits in your hand that tends to pleat a saree for you. It has buttons, when we press them, we can fix the length of the pleat we want. Then when we press ON button, the machine starts to work.
It consists of several hooks; the hook will start to work as per the length of pleat. The hook just pulls the saree and places it on the parallel plate. It consists of a parallel plate just below the hooks.
The parallel plate is the component which will works as zig-zag mechanism to fold the saree. Once the hook pulls the saree and place it on the plate, the plate turns around. Now again the hooks pulls the saree and place it on the plate. Again the plate turns around. This mechanism continues.This zig-zag mechanism of the plate and pulling of hook continues until the end of the saree.
It is a mini device as it fits in your hand and portable too. When you want to drape a saree perfectly that everyone admires the look and perfectness of the saree, you need a perfect pleat. You can do that in home by using iron box, but you need to spend a lot of time on it. 1st you need to fold the saree as small as you want, then you must pin it. Now, you just want to iron them by single pleats. Pinning may damage your saree, or we may not get the perfect pleat, it may be a big process. When you are busy and not ready to take pleats at home, the next step is beauty salon. But in parlors also they pleat the saree manually. Most importantly for pleating a single saree the beauty stations ask minimum 600rs to maximum 1500rs depending upon the material and works of saree. For spending 600rs for just fleeting a saree we can buy a new saree.
Our invention is affordable, once you buy the machine we can use for a long period of time. We can pleat number of sarees for different occasions. This machine might be user-friendly, travel-friendly, portable, easy to handle, easy to work and simple algorithm.
Parts of saree are: Pallu - the decorative end of the saree
Border - the ornamental edge of the saree
Field - the main body of the saree
Pleats - the folds in the saree
