> Equipement > Doypack® pouches

Packaging with Doypack® gives your product an attractive and excellent

container which is both soft and perfectly stable thanks to the original form of
the base, (THIMONNIER patent).
A large printing surface (on both sides) allows you to design an extremely
commercial package.
Doypack® offers both the advantages of rigid containers (stability, ease of
use, presentation) and those of soft packages (economical, space-saving
before and after use, ease of manufacture).

THIMONNIER developed for you a large range of machines which allow your

Barthélemy Thimonnier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barthélemy Thimonnier

Barthélemy Thimonnier, (August 19, 1793 in L'Arbresle, Rhône - July 5, 1857 in Amplepuis),
was aFrench inventor, who invented the first sewing machine that replicated sewing by hand.

Early life
In 1795, his family moved to Amplepuis. Thimonnier was the oldest of seven children. He
studied for a while in Lyon, before going to work as a tailor in Panissières. Barthelemy
Thimonnier married an embroideress in January 1822. In 1823, he settled in a suburb (or called
a commutety) of Saint-Étienne and worked as a tailor there.

[edit]Invention of the sewing machine

In 1829, he invented the sewing machine and in 1830 he signed a contract with Auguste
Ferrand, a mining engineer, who made the requisite drawings and submitted a patent
application. The patent for his machine was issued on 17 July 1830 in the names of both men,
supported by the French government. The same year, he opened (with partners) the first
machine-based clothing manufacturing company in the world. It was supposed to create army
uniforms. However, the factory was burned down, reportedly by workers fearful of losing work
following the issuing of the patent.

A model of the machine is exhibited at the London Science Museum. The machine is made of
wood and uses a barbed needle which passes downward through the cloth to grab the thread
and pull it up to form a loop to be locked by the next loop.
The earliest sewing machine was actually patented by Thomas Saint in 1790. So Thimonnier's
machine was not the first. Saint's contribution was not made public until 1874 when William
Newton Wilson, himself a sewing machine manufacturer, found the drawings in the London
Patent Office and built a machine which worked following some adjustments to the looper. So,
in 1790 Thomas Saint had invented a machine with an overhanging arm, a feed mechanism
(adequate for the short lengths of leather he intended it for),a vertical needle bar and a looper.
The London Science Museum has the model that Wilson built from Saint's Drawings.

[edit]Later life
Thimonnier then returned to Amplepuis and supported himself as a tailor again, while searching
for improvements to his machine. He obtained new patents in 1841, 1845, and 1847 for new
models of sewing machine. However, despite having won prizes at World Fairs, and being
praised by the press, use of the machine did not spread. Thimonnier's financial situation
remained difficult, and he died in poverty at the age of 64.
