Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sewing machine, in particular for edging or hemming materials such as the edges of floor coverings or the like.
  • the task of such sewing machines which are also referred to as binding machines or hemming machines, is in particular to cleanly and securely bind the edges of carpets or the like, which are in the form of rolls and are cut to the size of use.
  • the aim of the invention is that the machine is relatively easy to handle despite high performance and can also be used as mobile, because, especially when chaining very large areas, the space required to move the entire piece of material past the machine would become too large.
  • US-A-1 915 235 describes a looping machine which works with three threads. Accordingly, it has two yarn grippers, in each of which one of the threads is threaded, while the third thread or twine is threaded into the needle and binds the other two threads (see also US Pat. No. 1,961,979).
  • the object of the invention is to further improve a sewing machine for two-thread overcast seams and, in particular, to allow perfect seam formation, regardless of thread tension or roughness.
  • thread is the thread that runs from the upper to the lower row of stitches around the outer edge and, if necessary, an intermediate tuck belt and has the actual covering and decoration function. It is also advantageously possible to use two yarn threads from two different bobbins together as yarn, for example to better match the color of the carpet by mixing two yarn colors in the wrapping. Accordingly, several threads are to be understood as “yarn” in the following.
  • the thread is inserted by the needle, which forms loops on the top and bottom of the material with a thread threaded into a thread hook, with an overlock hook taking over the thread coming from the thread hook and in the form of a loop around the edge of the material the top brings.
  • the thread could form the twist loop formed on the underside in the direction of the material edge pull along while the overlock hook pulls yarn to form the long overlock loop.
  • the holding gripper engages in the part of the yarn loop remaining on the underside of the material and holds it back as long as the overlock gripper pulls the loop upwards.
  • the gripper is then pulled out and the twine loop can tighten the yarn so that the lower binding formed by the yarn lies directly on the row of stitches and does not run offset to the edge. In this way, the thread tension can also be reduced because the thread no longer has to actively counteract this tendency to offset.
  • the holding gripper which retains a thread loop during the formation of an overlock loop, preferably engages near the path of movement of the needle from below into the thread coming from a thread gripper.
  • the three grippers can all be arranged as swinging grippers and can be moved mostly harmoniously and continuously, which is possible via simple crank, eccentric or lever movements. Sliding movements and other movements that are unfavorable in terms of manufacture and wear can be largely avoided. Only the holding gripper normally has a standstill phase, which can be derived from a lever movement with a simple stop.
  • the grippers are designed so that their overall size is small compared to the paths they travel and their concentration in a small space allows.
  • the base part receiving the hook that is, the space under the material receiving table, as flat as possible, in order to have to lift the carpet only slightly with the device, which can advantageously be moved on the floor by means of partially self-steering castors, in order to sew the sewing machine to drive along the edge of the lying carpet while chaining.
  • a thread guide channel through which the thread runs in opens into a position in which the thread gripper assumes a defined position, for example marked on the handwheel, for example the bottom dead center of the sewing mechanism. This aligns a threading channel, which, like the thread guide channel, ends outside the machine, so that through these two channels and the eye in between, a threading tool, e.g. in the form of a wire with a hook, passed through it and a thread can be pulled through.
  • a threading tool e.g. in the form of a wire with a hook
  • a sewing machine of the type mentioned at the outset can have a cutting device for the material, with which the corners, which usually run at right angles from the cut, can be provided with a radius suitable for weaving.
  • one embodiment provides for relieving the means of transport when cornering.
  • Such relief is usually carried out manually by means of a lifting lever for the pressure foot, which presses the material against an oscillatingly movable toothed rack arranged in the base part.
  • a lifting lever for the pressure foot, which presses the material against an oscillatingly movable toothed rack arranged in the base part.
  • Such a lifting device is also provided.
  • relief means are provided which automatically relieve the pressure of the pressure foot on the transport toothed strip from the spring force normally acting thereon when the cutting device is switched on.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment is one in which this is done by a one-way clamping device which can be actuated by the switch-on device and which actuates the pressure foot when it is actuated is, can only be moved upwards, but is stuck against a movement downwards. This prevents the pressure foot, which is normally lifted and lowered a little by the lifting movement of the transport terminal block, with each stroke, from moving back down under the spring force, so that it remains in the uppermost position of this cycle, which depends on the material thickness. In this position, with automatic adaptation to the material thickness, the covering can be rotated relative to the carpet without difficulty or injury, without losing the necessary contact pressure for a certain transport support and guidance.
  • a guide stop can also be provided, which normally guides the edge of the material, but can be swiveled away for linking inside corners.
  • a feed roller can preferably be attached to it, which runs in front of the edge of the material guide table and is so inclined that it pushes the material in the direction of the guide stop. This is particularly important if only narrow strips, for example as skirting boards, are to be linked.
  • the thread feeder can contain a thread tensioner which guides the thread between two surfaces.
  • One can be a roller that can be rotated with the thread, the thread being pressed on by a pressure part that is bent, for example, from sheet metal. It has been shown that this arrangement results in the formation of threadline knots (so-called kinks) resulting from an over or under rotation of the thread. avoided or, if they should have arisen beforehand, can run through without interference and cause no interference in the further course of processing.
  • Such kink formation can result, for example, from the withdrawal of the threads from an end face of a bobbin, which applies a 360 ° twist to the thread with each turn.
  • the pressure part By attaching a thread eyelet to the pressure part, the pressure part can be self-regulating, ie when the thread feed tension is high, the pressure part, which is pressed in in an elastically adjustable manner, is lifted off and thus reduces the tension that it additionally applies. If this eyelet is attached to the inlet side of the thread tensioner, the thread tensioner reacts to resistances in the upstream thread feed, unaffected by the thread which is discontinuously withdrawn from the sewing mechanism.
  • the thread feed can advantageously be designed in such a way that a thread wrapping around an eyelet after a thread loosening can no longer pinch itself, which has previously mostly led to thread breakage. If the eyelet is constructed in such a way that its connection to a machine part, at least in the area of the eyelet, is not narrower than the outer eyelet limit, then the thread automatically slips on it when it comes under tension without tightening by pinching two thread parts lying one above the other.
  • the invention provides a sewing machine for hemming or binding, which, despite great performance and the possibility of working on floor coverings of any thickness, is portable and with great reliability and high performance can also be used in rough construction site operations.
  • the part holding the thread spools or idler tape rolls can be folded up. This can also take up castor-like castors, while a fixed roll can be provided in the sewing area, which runs in the sewing direction.
  • the sewing machine 11 shown in the drawings has a lower, relatively flat base part 12 and a tower or column-like drive part 13 (FIGS. 1 and 2) projecting upwards therefrom, which comprises the drive motor 14 (FIG. 3) and the essential drive mechanisms .

  • thread twist before or in the thread tensioner prevents the thread from overturning (kinking) or runs through.

After the rounding is complete, the material covers the photo sensor 117 again and the switch-on device de-energizes the magnet 104. As a result, the lever 101 is loaded in the sense of a clockwise rotation, the clamping plate 100 releases the pressure foot rod 99, and the knife actuating member 78 slides along the arm 106 during its pivoting movement and engages under this lever shortly before the dead center and is thus blocked.

Abstract

The sewing machine is used for looping or linking floor coverings and is transportable, so that, apart from being used in stationary manner, it can also be moved along the material edge to be looped. It produces a two-thread overcast seam and has a cutting device with a knife (108) for rounding the material corners prior to looping and is automatically started up under the control of a photoelectric cell (117) on approaching a corner.

Aufgabe solcher auch als Umkettelmaschinen oder Säummaschinen bezeichneten Nähmaschinen ist es insbesondere, die Ränder von Teppichen oder dgl., die als Rollenware vorliegen und auf Gebrauchsgröße zugeschnitten werden, sauber und haltbar zu umketteln. Dabei wird durch die Erfindung angestrebt, daß die Maschine trotz hoher Leistung relativ leicht zu handhaben und möglichst auch mobil einsetzbar ist, weil insbesondere beim Umketteln sehr großer Flächen anderenfalls die benötigte Raumgröße zum Vorbeiführen des gesamten Materialstückes an der Maschine zu groß werden würde.The task of such sewing machines, which are also referred to as binding machines or hemming machines, is in particular to cleanly and securely bind the edges of carpets or the like, which are in the form of rolls and are cut to the size of use. The aim of the invention is that the machine is relatively easy to handle despite high performance and can also be used as mobile, because, especially when chaining very large areas, the space required to move the entire piece of material past the machine would become too large.

Aus der US-A-3 943 864 ist eine Umkettelmaschine bekanntgeworden, die mit einer Zweifaden-Überwendlichnaht arbeitet. Sie arbeitet mit einem Garngreifer, in den der die Umkettlung bildende Faden eingefädelt ist. Von ihm übernimmt ein Überwendlichgreifer die Fadenschlaufe und führt sie um die Kante des zu umkettelnden Materials herum. Die Nadel, in die ein Bindefaden bzw. Zwirn eingefädelt ist, sticht an der Oberseite in die Schlaufe des Schmuckfadens ein.From US-A-3 943 864 a binding machine has become known which works with a double thread overlock seam. She works with a yarn gripper into which the thread forming the loop is threaded. An overhand gripper takes the loop of thread from him and guides it around the edge of the material to be bound. The needle, into which a binding thread or thread is threaded, sticks into the loop of the decorative thread at the top.

Die US-A-1 915 235 beschreibt eine Umkettelmaschine, die mit drei Fäden arbeitet. Dementsprechend hat sie zwei Garngreifer, in die je einer der Fäden eingefädelt ist, während der dritte Faden bzw. Zwirn in die Nadel eingefädelt ist und die beiden anderen Fäden bindet (siehe auch US-A-1 961 979).US-A-1 915 235 describes a looping machine which works with three threads. Accordingly, it has two yarn grippers, in each of which one of the threads is threaded, while the third thread or twine is threaded into the needle and binds the other two threads (see also US Pat. No. 1,961,979).

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Nähmaschine für Zweifaden-Überwendlichnaht weiter zu verbessern und insbesondere auch unabhängig von Fadenspannungen bzw. -rauhigkeiten eine einwandfreie Nahtbildung zu gestatten.The object of the invention is to further improve a sewing machine for two-thread overcast seams and, in particular, to allow perfect seam formation, regardless of thread tension or roughness.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by claim 1.

Bei einer Nähmaschine, wie sie z.B. aus der DE-A-25 00 461 bekanntgeworden ist, und die eine Einfaden-Überwendlichnaht herstellt, müssen relativ große Fadenlängen mit hoher Geschwindigkeit durch das Nadelloch hindurchgezogen werden müssen, weil die gesamte Fadenzuführung über die Nadel von oben erfolgt. Da als Faden für das Umketteln normalerweise ein relativ wenig gedrehtes dickes und bauschiges Garn verwendet wird, muß bei Bodenbelägen mit einem sehr starren und festen Rücken mit großer Vorsicht gearbeitet werden, damit das Garn nicht beim Durchziehen durch das Loch ausfasert und reißt. Bei der Zweifaden-Überwendlichnaht läuft hingegen durch die Stichlöcher ein Faden hindurch, der nur Haltefunktion und keine wesentlichen dekorativen oder abdeckenden Aufgaben hat. Es kann dort ein sehr fester, hochwertiger und dünner Faden benutzt werden, beispielsweise ein Zwirn. Dieser Faden wird daher im folgenden als Zwirn bezeichnet, während als Garn der Faden bezeichnet wird, der jeweils von der oberen zur unteren Stichreihe um den Außenrand und ggf. ein zwischenliegendes Beilaufband herum verläuft und die eigentliche Abdeck- und Dekorationsfunktion hat. Es können vorteilhaft auch zwei Garnfäden von zwei verschiedenen Spulen zusammen als Garn verwendet werden, um beispielsweise durch Mischung zweier Garnfarben in der Umkettelung die Farbe des Teppichs besser zu treffen. Demnach sind als "Garn" im folgenden auch mehrere Fäden zu verstehen.In a sewing machine, as has become known, for example, from DE-A-25 00 461, and which produces a single thread overlock seam, relatively large thread lengths must be pulled through the needle hole at high speed because the entire thread feed via the needle from above he follows. As a thread for the chain Normally a relatively little twisted, thick and puffy yarn is used, with floor coverings with a very rigid and firm backing, great care must be taken so that the yarn does not fray and tear when pulled through the hole. In the case of the two-thread overcast seam, on the other hand, a thread runs through the stitch holes, which has only a holding function and no essential decorative or covering tasks. A very strong, high quality and thin thread can be used there, for example a thread. This thread is therefore called thread in the following, while thread is the thread that runs from the upper to the lower row of stitches around the outer edge and, if necessary, an intermediate tuck belt and has the actual covering and decoration function. It is also advantageously possible to use two yarn threads from two different bobbins together as yarn, for example to better match the color of the carpet by mixing two yarn colors in the wrapping. Accordingly, several threads are to be understood as "yarn" in the following.

Bei dem Nähmechanismus wird der Zwirn von der Nadel eingebracht, die mit einem in einen Garngreifer eingefädelten Garn an der Ober- und Unterseite des Materials Schlaufen bildet, wobei ein Überwendlichgreifer den aus dem Garngreifer kommenden Faden übernimmt und in Form einer Schlaufe um die Materialkante herum auf die Oberseite bringt.In the sewing mechanism, the thread is inserted by the needle, which forms loops on the top and bottom of the material with a thread threaded into a thread hook, with an overlock hook taking over the thread coming from the thread hook and in the form of a loop around the edge of the material the top brings.

Dabei könnte in Abhängigkeit von den Fadenspannungen bzw. -rauhigkeiten und anderen Verhältnissen das Garn die an der Unterseite gebildete Zwirnschlaufe in Richtung auf die Materialkante mitziehen, während der Überwendlichgreifer Garn zur Bildung der langen Überwendlichschlaufe nachzieht. Aus diesem Grunde greift der Haltegreifer in den an der Materialunterseite verbleibenden Teil der Garnschlaufe ein und hält diesen solange zurück, wie der Überwendlichgreifer die Schlaufe nach oben herumzieht. Danach wird der Haltegreifer herausgezogen, und die Zwirnschlaufe kann das Garn so festziehen, daß die untere, durch das Garn gebildete Bindung unmittelbar an der Stichreihe liegt und nicht zum Rand hin versetzt verläuft. Auf diese Weise kann auch die Zwirnspannung verringert werden, weil der Zwirn diesem Versatzbestreben nicht mehr aktiv entgegenwirken muß.Depending on the thread tension or roughness and other conditions, the thread could form the twist loop formed on the underside in the direction of the material edge pull along while the overlock hook pulls yarn to form the long overlock loop. For this reason, the holding gripper engages in the part of the yarn loop remaining on the underside of the material and holds it back as long as the overlock gripper pulls the loop upwards. The gripper is then pulled out and the twine loop can tighten the yarn so that the lower binding formed by the yarn lies directly on the row of stitches and does not run offset to the edge. In this way, the thread tension can also be reduced because the thread no longer has to actively counteract this tendency to offset.

Der Haltegreifer, der eine Fadenschlaufe während der Bildung einer Überwendlichschlaufe zurückhält, greift vorzugsweise nahe der Bewegungsbahn der Nadel von unten her in den aus einem Garngreifer kommenden Faden ein.The holding gripper, which retains a thread loop during the formation of an overlock loop, preferably engages near the path of movement of the needle from below into the thread coming from a thread gripper.

Die drei Greifer können alle als schwingende Greifer angeordnet sein und können überwiegend harmonisch und stetig bewegt werden, was über einfache Kurbel-, Exzenter- oder Hebelbewegungen möglich ist. Schiebebewegungen und andere in der Herstellung und Verschleiß ungünstige Bewegungen können weitgehend vermieden werden. Lediglich der Haltegreifer hat normalerweise eine Stillstandphase, die aber durch einen einfachen Anschlag aus einer Hebelbewegung abgeleitet werden kann. Die Greifer sind so gestaltet, daß ihre Gesamtgröße im Vergleich zu denen von ihnen zurückgelegten Wegen gering ist und ihre Konzentration auf einem kleinen Raum ermöglicht. So ist es vorteilhaft möglich, den die Greifer aufnehmenden Basisteil, d.h. den unter dem Materialaufnahmetisch liegenden Raum, so flach wie möglich zu gestalten, um bei über teilweise selbstlenkende Laufrollen vorteilhaft auf dem Boden fahrbarem Gerät den Teppich nur wenig anheben zu müssen, um die Nähmaschine an der Kante des liegenden Teppichs beim Ketteln entlangzufahren.The three grippers can all be arranged as swinging grippers and can be moved mostly harmoniously and continuously, which is possible via simple crank, eccentric or lever movements. Sliding movements and other movements that are unfavorable in terms of manufacture and wear can be largely avoided. Only the holding gripper normally has a standstill phase, which can be derived from a lever movement with a simple stop. The grippers are designed so that their overall size is small compared to the paths they travel and their concentration in a small space allows. So it is advantageously possible to make the base part receiving the hook, that is, the space under the material receiving table, as flat as possible, in order to have to lift the carpet only slightly with the device, which can advantageously be moved on the floor by means of partially self-steering castors, in order to sew the sewing machine to drive along the edge of the lying carpet while chaining.

Trotzdem ist das Einfädeln des Garns in den unten liegenden Garngreifer durch eine Einfädelvorrichtung einfach möglich. Ein Fadenführungskanal, durch den das Garn einläuft, mündet in einer Stellung, in der der Garngreifer eine definierte und beispielsweise am Handrad markierte Position einnimmt, beispielsweise den unteren Totpunkt des Nähmechanismus. Damit fluchtet ein Einfädelkanal, der, ebenso wie der Fadenführungskanal, außerhalb der Maschine endet, so daß durch diese beiden Kanäle und das dazwischen liegende Öhr ein Einfädelwerkzeug, z.B. in Form eines Drahtes mit einem Haken, hindurchgeführt und daran ein Garn durchgezogen werden kann.Nevertheless, threading the yarn into the yarn gripper located below is easily possible using a threading device. A thread guide channel through which the thread runs in opens into a position in which the thread gripper assumes a defined position, for example marked on the handwheel, for example the bottom dead center of the sewing mechanism. This aligns a threading channel, which, like the thread guide channel, ends outside the machine, so that through these two channels and the eye in between, a threading tool, e.g. in the form of a wire with a hook, passed through it and a thread can be pulled through.

Nach einem Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann eine Nähmaschine der eingangs erwähnten Art eine Schneidvorrichtung für das Material besitzen, mit dem die vom Zuschnitt her üblicherweise rechtwinklig zulaufenden Ecken mit einem für das Ketteln geeigneten Radius versehen werden können.According to a development of the invention, a sewing machine of the type mentioned at the outset can have a cutting device for the material, with which the corners, which usually run at right angles from the cut, can be provided with a radius suitable for weaving.

Da zum Schneiden der Teppich relativ zur Maschine gedreht werden muß, aber andererseits beim Ketteln gerader Flächen ein genaues und kräftiges Festklemmen des Materials zur Sicherstellung eines genauen und wirksamen Transportes wichtig ist, ist bei einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, beim Eckenrunden die Transportmittel zu entlasten. Üblicherweise erfolgt eine solche Entlastung manuell über einen Hochstellhebel für den Druckfuß, der das Material gegen eine im Basisteil angeordnete, oszillierend bewegliche Transport-Zahnleiste drückt. Eine solche Anhebvorrichtung ist auch vorgesehen. Zusätzlich sind jedoch Entlastungsmittel vorgesehen, die beim Einschalten der Schneideinrichtung automatisch auch den Andruck des Druckfusses an die Transportzahnleiste von der darauf normalerweise wirkenden Federkraft entlasten. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführung, bei der dies durch eine von der Einschalteinrichtung betätigbare, in einer Richtung wirksame Klemmeinrichtung geschieht, die den Druckfuß, wenn sie betätigt ist, nur aufwärts sich bewegen läßt, jedoch gegen eine Bewegung nach unten festklemmt. Dadurch wird der Druckfuß, der von der Anhebebewegung der Transportklemmleiste normalerweise bei jedem Hub etwas angehoben und wieder abgesetzt wird, daran gehindert, unter der Federkraft wieder nach unten zu wandern, so daß er in der von der Materialdicke abhängigen obersten Stellung dieses Zyklus stehen bleibt. In dieser Position ist also unter automatischer Anpassung an die Materialdicke eine Drehung des Belages ohne Schwierigkeiten oder Verletzung des Teppichs relativ zu diesem möglich, ohne den nötigen Kontaktdruck für eine gewisse Transportunterstützung und Führung zu verlieren.Since the carpet has to be rotated relative to the machine for cutting, but on the other hand, when chaining straight surfaces, it is important to clamp the material precisely and firmly in order to ensure accurate and effective transport, one embodiment provides for relieving the means of transport when cornering. Such relief is usually carried out manually by means of a lifting lever for the pressure foot, which presses the material against an oscillatingly movable toothed rack arranged in the base part. Such a lifting device is also provided. In addition, however, relief means are provided which automatically relieve the pressure of the pressure foot on the transport toothed strip from the spring force normally acting thereon when the cutting device is switched on. A particularly preferred embodiment is one in which this is done by a one-way clamping device which can be actuated by the switch-on device and which actuates the pressure foot when it is actuated is, can only be moved upwards, but is stuck against a movement downwards. This prevents the pressure foot, which is normally lifted and lowered a little by the lifting movement of the transport terminal block, with each stroke, from moving back down under the spring force, so that it remains in the uppermost position of this cycle, which depends on the material thickness. In this position, with automatic adaptation to the material thickness, the covering can be rotated relative to the carpet without difficulty or injury, without losing the necessary contact pressure for a certain transport support and guidance.

Es kann auch ein Führungsanschlag vorgesehen sein, der normalerweise die Materialkante führt, jedoch zum Ketteln von Innenecken abschwenkbar ist. An ihm kann vorzugsweise eine Einlaufrolle angebracht sein, die vor der Kante des Materialführungstisches läuft und so schräggerichtet ist, daß sie das Material in Richtung auf den Führungsanschlag schiebt. Dies ist insbesondere wichtig, wenn nur schmale Streifen, beispielsweise als Fußbodenleisten, gekettelt werden sollen.A guide stop can also be provided, which normally guides the edge of the material, but can be swiveled away for linking inside corners. A feed roller can preferably be attached to it, which runs in front of the edge of the material guide table and is so inclined that it pushes the material in the direction of the guide stop. This is particularly important if only narrow strips, for example as skirting boards, are to be linked.

Die Fadenzuführung kann einen Fadenspanner enthalten, der den Faden zwischen zwei Flächen führt. Die eine kann dabei eine mit dem Faden drehbare Rolle sein, wobei der Faden von einem beispielsweise aus Blech gebogenen Andruckteil angedrückt wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch diese Anordnung das Entstehen von aus einer Über- bzw. Unterdrehung des Fadens resultierende Bildung von Fadenscheinknoten (sog. Kinken) vermieden oder, falls sie bereits vorher entstanden sein sollten, ohne Störung durchlaufen können und keine Störung im weiteren Bearbeitungsverlauf hervorrufen. Eine solche Kinken-Bildung kann beispielsweise durch den Abzug der Fäden von einer Stirnseite einer Spule herrühren, die bei jeder Windung einen 360°-Drall auf den Faden aufbringt. Durch Anbringung einer Garnöse an dem Andruckteil kann dieses selbstregulierend sein, d.h. bei hoher Faden-Zuführspannung wird das Andruckteil, das federnd einstellbar angedrückt ist, abgehoben und verringert somit die von ihm sonst noch zusätzlich aufgebrachte Spannung. Wenn diese Öse auf der Einlaufseite des Fadenspanners angebracht ist, so reagiert der Fadenspanner auf Widerstände in der vorgeschalteten Fadenzuführung, unbeeinflußt von dem diskontinuierlich vom Nähmechanismus abgezogenen Faden.The thread feeder can contain a thread tensioner which guides the thread between two surfaces. One can be a roller that can be rotated with the thread, the thread being pressed on by a pressure part that is bent, for example, from sheet metal. It has been shown that this arrangement results in the formation of threadline knots (so-called kinks) resulting from an over or under rotation of the thread. avoided or, if they should have arisen beforehand, can run through without interference and cause no interference in the further course of processing. Such kink formation can result, for example, from the withdrawal of the threads from an end face of a bobbin, which applies a 360 ° twist to the thread with each turn. By attaching a thread eyelet to the pressure part, the pressure part can be self-regulating, ie when the thread feed tension is high, the pressure part, which is pressed in in an elastically adjustable manner, is lifted off and thus reduces the tension that it additionally applies. If this eyelet is attached to the inlet side of the thread tensioner, the thread tensioner reacts to resistances in the upstream thread feed, unaffected by the thread which is discontinuously withdrawn from the sewing mechanism.

Ferner kann vorteilhaft die Fadenzuführung so ausgebildet sein, daß ein eine Öse nach einer Fadenlockerung von außen umschlingender Faden sich nicht mehr bekneifen kann, was bisher meist zum Fadenbruch führte. Wenn nämlich die Öse so gebaut ist, daß ihre Verbindung mit einem Maschinenteil zumindest im Bereich der Öse nicht schmaler ist als die Ösenaußenbegrenzung, dann rutscht der Faden automatisch daran ab, wenn er unter Spannung kommt, ohne sich durch Bekneifen zweier übereinander liegender Fadenteile festzuziehen.Furthermore, the thread feed can advantageously be designed in such a way that a thread wrapping around an eyelet after a thread loosening can no longer pinch itself, which has previously mostly led to thread breakage. If the eyelet is constructed in such a way that its connection to a machine part, at least in the area of the eyelet, is not narrower than the outer eyelet limit, then the thread automatically slips on it when it comes under tension without tightening by pinching two thread parts lying one above the other.

Durch die Erfindung wird eine Nähmaschine zum Säumen oder Ketteln geschaffen, die trotz großer Leistung und der Möglichkeit, Bodenbeläge beliebiger Dicke zu bearbeiten, transportabel und bei großer Zuverlässigkeit und hoher Leistung auch im rauhen Baustellenbetrieb einsetzbar ist. Zum Transport kann der die Fadenspulen bzw. Beilaufband-Rollen aufnehmende Teil hochgeklappt werden. Dieser kann auch möbelrollenähnliche Lenkrollen aufnehmen, während im Nähbereich eine feste Rolle vorgesehen sein kann, die in Nährichtung läuft.The invention provides a sewing machine for hemming or binding, which, despite great performance and the possibility of working on floor coverings of any thickness, is portable and with great reliability and high performance can also be used in rough construction site operations. For transport, the part holding the thread spools or idler tape rolls can be folded up. This can also take up castor-like castors, while a fixed roll can be provided in the sewing area, which runs in the sewing direction.

Die in den Zeichnungen gezeigte Nähmaschine 11 hat ein unteres, relativ flaches Basisteil 12 und ein von diesem nach oben ragendes turm- oder säulenartiges Antriebsteil 13 (Fig. 1 und 2), das den Antriebsmotor 14 (Fig. 3) und die wesentlichen Antriebsmechanismen umfaßt. Am Basisteil befindet sich eine etwa unter dem Nähmechanismus 15 angeordnete Laufrolle 16, während sich zwei weitere, selbstlenkend ausgebildete Rollen 17 unter einem ausklappbaren und mittels eines Hebels 18 arretierbaren Tragteller 19 befinden, an dem sich Halterungen 20 für zwei Garnspulen 21 befinden und der eine Vorratsrolle 22 eines Beilaufbandes 23 aufnimmt. Eine Halterung 24 einer Zwirnspule 25 ist am abnehmbaren Gehäuse 26 des Antriebsteiles vorgesehen. Das Gehäuse 26 ist mit einem Handgriff 27 zum Transport versehen. Das von den entsprechenden Spulen 21, 25 kommende Garn 28 und Zwirn 29 läuft über später noch beschriebene Ösen 30 an einem ebenfalls abschwenkbaren oder abnehmbaren, zum Spannungsausgleich federnden Fadenabspulrahmen 31 und wird dann von oben über Ösen 32 je einem Fadenspanner 33 zugeführt, die ebenfalls am Gehäuse 26 angebracht sind.The sewing machine 11 shown in the drawings has a lower, relatively flat base part 12 and a tower or column-like drive part 13 (FIGS. 1 and 2) projecting upwards therefrom, which comprises the drive motor 14 (FIG. 3) and the essential drive mechanisms . On the base part there is a roller 16 arranged approximately under the sewing mechanism 15, while two further, self-steering rollers 17 are located under a fold-out support plate 19 which can be locked by means of a lever 18, on which there are holders 20 for two spools of thread 21 and the one supply roller 22 of a tote 23. A holder 24 of a twisted bobbin 25 is provided on the removable housing 26 of the drive part. The housing 26 is provided with a handle 27 for transportation. The yarn 28 and twine 29 coming from the corresponding bobbins 21, 25 runs via eyelets 30, which will be described later, on a thread unwinding frame 31, which can also be swiveled or removed and resilient to compensate for tension, and is then fed from above via eyelets 32 to a thread tensioner 33, which are also attached to the housing 26.

Die Fadenspanner 33 enthalten je eine Grundplatte 34, auf der um eine waagerechte Achse 35 eine Rolle 36 drehbar gelagert ist (Fig. 1). Ein aus Federstahlblech gebogener und um eine Achse 38 schwenkbarer Andruckteil 37 liegt an der Mantelfläche 39 flächig an, und zwar über einen Winkel von ca. 90° oder darüber. An dem der Achse gegenüberliegenden Ende des Andruckteils befindet sich eine Führungsöse 40 für den Faden 28 bzw. 29. Der Andruckteil 37 wird über eine Anstellschraube 41 und eine darin geführte Feder so an die Rolle angedrückt, daß der Faden dazwischen flächig gepreßt wird. Da die Rolle 36 beim Durchziehens des Fadens mitdrehen kann, kann bei vergleichbarer Spann- bzw. Bremswirkung des Fadenspanners die Andruckkraft des Andruckteils 37 relativ hoch sein. Zusammen mit der flächigen Anlage können so durch Fadendrall vorher oder im Fadenspanner entstehende Überdrehungen des Fadens (Kinken) vermieden bzw. laufen durch. Eine in Fadenlaufrichtung vor dem Fadenspanner 33 aufgetretene Hemmung führt zu einer Druckverringerung des Andruckteils 37 durch einen aufwärts gerichteten Zug auf die Öse 40, so daß sich eine automatische Spannungskontrolle bzw. -regelung ergibt.The thread tensioners 33 each contain a base plate 34, on which a roller 36 is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis 35 (FIG. 1). A pressure part 37 bent from spring steel sheet and pivotable about an axis 38 lies flat against the lateral surface 39, specifically over an angle of approximately 90 ° or above. At the end of the pressure part opposite the axis there is a guide eyelet 40 for the thread 28 and 29 respectively. The pressure part 37 is pressed against the roll by means of a set screw 41 and a spring guided therein, so that the thread is pressed flat between them. Since the roller 36 can rotate when the thread is pulled through, the pressing force of the pressing part 37 can be relatively high with a comparable tensioning or braking effect of the thread tensioner. Together with the flat system, thread twist before or in the thread tensioner prevents the thread from overturning (kinking) or runs through. An inhibition in the thread running direction in front of the thread tensioner 33 leads to a pressure reduction of the pressure part 37 by an upward pull on the eyelet 40, so that there is an automatic tension control or regulation.

Der Zwirn 29 läuft nach einer Umschlingung der Rolle 36 um 130 bis 180° über eine Spannungs-Ausgleichsfeder 42 und eine Öse 43 einem Fadenheber 44 zu, der zusammen mit der Nadel oszillierend angetrieben ist und das Öhr 45 in der Nadel 46 von der Fadenabzieharbeit entlastet (Fig. 3).The thread 29 runs after wrapping around the roller 36 by 130 to 180 ° via a tension compensation spring 42 and an eyelet 43 to a thread lifter 44 which is oscillatingly driven together with the needle and relieves the eye 45 in the needle 46 of the thread pulling work (Fig. 3).

Ein gleicher Fadenspanner ist für das Garn 28 vorgesehen (Fig. 1), das nach der Rolle 36 direkt durch die Öse 43 einem Garnführungskanal 47 in Form eines gebogenen Rohres zuläuft, durch den es bis zum Nähmechanismus 15 läuft.An identical thread tensioner is provided for the yarn 28 (FIG. 1), which, after the roll 36, runs directly through the eyelet 43 into a yarn guide channel 47 in the form of a bent tube, through which it runs to the sewing mechanism 15.

Der Antrieb der Nähmaschine 11 erfolgt von einer Hauptwelle 48 aus (Fig. 3), die über ein geeignetes Getriebe, hier ein zweistufiges Rundriemen-Untersetzungsgetriebe, vom Motor 14 angetrieben ist. Ein außerhalb des Gehäuses 26 angeordnetes Handrad 49 auf der Hauptwelle 48 ermöglicht eine Feineinstellung, z.B. zum Einfädeln. Auf der in einem Grundrahmen 50 gelagerten Hauptwelle 48 sind zwei Exzenter 51 zum Antrieb der Materialtransportmittel 52 angeordnet. An dem dem Handrad 49 entgegengesetzten Ende der Hauptwelle 48 ist ein Kurbeltrieb angebracht, der aus zwei scheibenartigen Kurbelwangen 53, 54, einem diese verbindenden Kurbelzapfen 55 und einem frei auskragenden Kurbelzapfen 56 besteht. Die innere Kurbelwange 53 ist als Antriebsnocken einer Schneideinrichtung mit zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Nockenerhebungen am Umfang ausgebildet (Fig. 8). Der Kurbelzapfen 56 betätigt über ein Pleuel 57 den Antrieb der in Längsrichtung gleitend geführten, gegenüber der Materiallaufrichtung 58 leicht rückwärts geneigt angeordneten Nadelstange 59. Das Pleuel 57 greift an dieser über einen auf der Nadelstange 59 festgeklemmten Klemmblock 60 an, der auch den Fadenheber 44 trägt, der durch einen Schlitz im Gehäuse 26 nach außen ragt. Der im Basisteil 12 angeordnete Schlaufenbildungsmechanismus 61, der anhand der Figuren 3 bis 6 beschrieben wird, wird von dem Kurbelzapfen 55 über das Pleuel 62 angetrieben. Es schwenkt über einen Antriebshebel 63 eine Welle 64 oszillierend hin und her, an der ein Garngreifer 65 und ein Betätigungshebel 68 drehfest angebracht sind.The sewing machine 11 is driven by a main shaft 48 (FIG. 3), which is driven by the motor 14 via a suitable gear, here a two-stage round belt reduction gear. A handwheel 49 arranged on the main shaft 48 outside the housing 26 enables fine adjustment, for example for threading. Two eccentrics 51 for driving the material transport means 52 are arranged on the main shaft 48 mounted in a base frame 50. At the end of the main shaft 48 opposite the handwheel 49, a crank mechanism is attached, which consists of two disk-like crank webs 53, 54, a crank pin 55 connecting them and a freely projecting crank pin 56. The inner crank web 53 is designed as a drive cam of a cutting device with two opposing cam lobes on the circumference (FIG. 8). The crank pin 56 actuates, via a connecting rod 57, the drive of the needle rod 59, which is guided in the longitudinal direction and is slightly inclined backwards relative to the material running direction 58. The connecting rod 57 engages on this via a clamping block 60 clamped onto the needle rod 59, which also carries the thread lifter 44 , which protrudes through a slot in the housing 26 to the outside. The loop formation mechanism 61 arranged in the base part 12, which is described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, is driven by the crank pin 55 via the connecting rod 62. It pivots a shaft 64 to and fro via a drive lever 63, on which a yarn gripper 65 and an actuating lever 68 are attached in a rotationally fixed manner.

Der Garngreifer 65 hat eine Bogen- oder Ringsegmentform in seinem äußeren Abschnitt, der ein Garnöhr 69 nahe seinem vorderen Ende trägt und über einen radialen Arm mit der Welle 64 verbunden ist.The yarn gripper 65 has an arc or ring segment shape in its outer portion, which carries a yarn eye 69 near its front end and is connected to the shaft 64 via a radial arm.

Um eine Welle 70 ist ein Überwendlichgreifer 66 schwenkbar gelagert, der über eine Schubstange 71 vom Hebel 63 aus angetrieben wird. Er hat eine Kreisbogenform, an deren einem Ende die Welle 70 befestigt ist, während das andere Ende mit einer Greifergabel 150 versehen ist.An overlocking gripper 66 is pivotally mounted about a shaft 70 and is driven by the lever 63 via a push rod 71. It has a circular arc shape, at one end of which the shaft 70 is attached, while the other end is provided with a gripper fork 150.

Ein Haltegreifer 67 mit einem Haltefinger an seinem vorderen Ende ist um eine Welle 72 schwenkbar und wird vom Hebel 68 über einen Hebelarm 73 angetrieben. Ein Anschlaghebel 74 wirkt mit einem Gehäuseanschlag 75, gegen den er unter der Kraft einer Feder 76 gedrückt wird, zur Begrenzung der Bewegung des Haltegreifers 67 zusammen.A holding gripper 67 with a holding finger at its front end is pivotable about a shaft 72 and is driven by the lever 68 via a lever arm 73. A stop lever 74 interacts with a housing stop 75, against which it is pressed under the force of a spring 76, to limit the movement of the holding gripper 67.

Die Transportmittel 52 für das zu umkettelnde Material 80 (Fig. 9) enthalten eine Transport-Zahnleiste 81, die eine in Fig. 9 strichpunktiert angedeutete ovale Bewegungsbahn 82 durchläuft, so daß jeweils auf einen Transporthub, bei dem die Zahnleiste über der Ebene des Materialauflagetisches 83 sich in Transportrichtung 58 bewegt, ein Rückhub in unter die Ebene 83 abgesenkter Position erfolgt. Bewirkt wird dies über die an die Exzenter 51 angeschlossenen Pleuel 84, 85. Das Pleuel 84 verschwenkt einen Hebel 86, indem es an einer Gewindebuchse 87 angelenkt ist, die auf einer mit einem sehr steilen Außengewinde versehenen Einstellgewindestange 88 mittels eines Einstellknopfes 89 verschiebbar ist. Der Hebel schwenkt um die Achse 90, während an seinem anderen Ende ein Hebel 91 angelenkt ist, der an seinem anderen Ende die Transportzahnleiste 81 trägt. In einigem Abstand von der Anlenkung 92 an den Hebel 86 greift das Pleuel 85 an.The transport means 52 for the material 80 to be linked (FIG. 9) contain a transport toothed rack 81 which passes through an oval movement path 82 indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 9, so that in each case on a transport stroke in which the toothed rack is above the level of the material support table 83 moves in the transport direction 58, a return stroke takes place in the position lowered below the plane 83. This is effected via the connecting rods 84, 85 connected to the eccentrics 51. The connecting rod 84 pivots a lever 86 by being articulated on a threaded bushing 87 which can be displaced on an adjusting threaded rod 88 provided with a very steep external thread by means of an adjusting knob 89. The lever pivots about the axis 90, while at its other end a lever 91 is articulated, which carries the transport toothed strip 81 at its other end. The connecting rod 85 engages at some distance from the linkage 92 to the lever 86.

Bei Drehung der Hauptwelle 48 wird durch das Pleuel 84 die Gewindestange 88 und der damit in Verbindung stehende Hebel 86, wie in Fig. 9 angedeutet, hin und her geschwenkt. Dadurch erhält der Hebel 91 und damit die Transportzahnleiste 81 eine im wesentlichen horizontal gerichtete Längsbewegung beigebracht, während über das Pleuel 85 diesem eine etwa vertikal gerichtete Bewegung überlagert wird, die gemeinsam die Bewegungsbahn 82 ergeben.When the main shaft 48 rotates, the connecting rod 84 swivels the threaded rod 88 and the associated lever 86, as indicated in FIG. 9, back and forth. As a result, the lever 91 and thus the transport toothed strip 81 are taught an essentially horizontally directed longitudinal movement, while an approximately vertically directed movement is superimposed on the connecting rod 85, which together result in the movement path 82.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine Schneideinrichtung 93 und einen Druckfuß 94, der das Material schräg von oben gegen die Transport-Zahnleiste 81 drückt (s. auch Fig. 1). Dieser Druckfuß 94 ist parallel zur Nadelachse 95 verschiebbar geführt und wird mittels einer Feder 96 so nach unten gepreßt, daß sein bügelförmiger und die Nadel gabelartig umgreifender Fußteil 97 nach unten gegen das Material gedrückt wird. Mit einem Handhebel 98 kann der Druckfuß angehoben, und, wenn die im folgenden beschriebene automatische Schneideinrichtung eingeschaltet und wirksam ist, auch in der angehobenen Stellung arretiert werden.FIG. 8 shows a cutting device 93 and a pressure foot 94 which presses the material obliquely from above against the transport toothed rack 81 (see also FIG. 1). This pressure foot 94 is displaceably guided parallel to the needle axis 95 and is pressed down by means of a spring 96 in such a way that its bow-shaped foot part 97, which grips around the needle in a fork-like manner, is pressed downward against the material. With a hand lever 98, the pressure foot can be raised, and if the following described automatic cutting device is turned on and effective, can also be locked in the raised position.

Um die den Druckfuß führende Stange 99 greift eine Klemmplatte 100, die zusammen mit einem strichliert gezeichneten Hebel 101 um eine Achse 102 schwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkung erfolgt über eine am Hebel angebrachte Blattfeder 103, die von einem Elektromagneten 104 bei seinem Anziehen den Hebel 101 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Während der Druckfuß 94 an seinem oberen Ende in einer Schiebeführung seiner Stange 99 im Grundrahmen geführt ist, ist er unten mittels einer Schwinge 105 im wesentlichen vertikal beweglich geführt.Around the rod 99 guiding the pressure foot, a clamping plate 100 engages, which together with a lever 101 shown in broken lines can be pivoted about an axis 102. The pivoting takes place via a leaf spring 103 attached to the lever, which pivots the lever 101 counterclockwise from an electromagnet 104 when it is tightened. While the pressure foot 94 is guided at its upper end in a sliding guide of its rod 99 in the base frame, it is guided in a substantially vertically movable manner below by means of a rocker 105.

Der Hebel 101 hat einen nach unten fortgesetzten Arm 106, dessen schräge Endfläche mit dem freien Ende eines hebelartigen Messerantriebsgliedes 78 in Eingriff kommen kann, das um eine Achse 107 am Grundrahmen schwenkbar angeordnet ist und an einem Messer 108 angelenkt ist. Das Messer befindet sich an einer im wesentlichen vertikal geführten Messerstange 109, an der eine Feder 110 angreift, die das Messer in seine obere Endlage zu ziehen sucht.The lever 101 has a downwardly extending arm 106, the inclined end surface of which can engage the free end of a lever-like knife drive member 78, which is arranged pivotably about an axis 107 on the base frame and is articulated on a knife 108. The knife is located on a substantially vertically guided knife rod 109 which is engaged by a spring 110 which tries to pull the knife into its upper end position.

Die doppelnockenartig ausgebildete Kurbelwange 53 kann mit dem Messerantriebsglied 78 zusammenarbeiten, um das Messer mit je zwei Hüben je Umdrehung der Hauptwelle 48 oszillierend anzutreiben.The double cam-like crank arm 53 can cooperate with the knife drive member 78 to oscillate the knife with two strokes per revolution of the main shaft 48.

Das Messer hat eine entgegen der Materialtransportrichtung 58 sowie nach unten gerichtete schräge Schneide 111, an deren Ende sich eine Führungsnase 112 nach unten erstreckt. Es wirkt mit einem Gegenmesser 113 (Fig. 10) zusammen, wobei die Führungsnase das Messer auch in seiner oberen Position zu dem am Materialauflagetisch 83 angebrachten Gegenmesser 113 ausgerichtet hält.The knife has an inclined cutting edge 111 which is directed counter to the material transport direction 58 and downwards, at the end of which a guide lug 112 extends downward. It interacts with a counter knife 113 (FIG. 10), the guide lug also keeping the knife in its upper position aligned with the counter knife 113 attached to the material support table 83.

Aus Fig. 10 ist zu erkennen, daß das Gegenmesser 113 an einer in den Materialauflagetisch 83 eingesetzten, auswechselbaren Stichplatte 114 angeordnet ist und um einen kleinen Winkel schräg zur Materiallaufrichtung 58 angeordnet ist. Dies berücksichtigt die Schnittverhältnisse beim Eckenrunden, bei dem meist die Nadel 46 die Drehachse bestimmt.From Fig. 10 it can be seen that the counter knife 113 is arranged on an interchangeable needle plate 114 inserted in the material support table 83 and is arranged at a small angle to the material running direction 58. This takes into account the cutting conditions during corner rounding, in which the needle 46 usually determines the axis of rotation.

In Fig. 10 ist noch zu erkennen, daß im Bereich der Nadel 46 eine in Materiallaufrichtung 58 gerichtete Führungsnase 115 vorgesehen ist, die die Materialkante führt und um die herum sich das Garn 28 bei der Bildung einer Überwendlichschlaufe legt, bevor es beim Weitertransport davon abrutscht und festgezogen wird. Zwischen der Materialkante und der Führungsnase 115 wird das Beilaufband 23 zugeführt, falls es verwendet wird.In Fig. 10 it can also be seen that in the region of the needle 46 a guide nose 115 is provided which is directed in the material running direction 58 and guides the material edge and around which the yarn 28 is placed when forming an overlocking loop before it slips off during further transport and is tightened. The filler belt 23 is fed between the material edge and the guide nose 115 if it is used.

Im Materialauflagetisch ist in Materiallaufrichtung mit Abstand vor der Nadelposition und auch mit Abstand von einer wegschwenkbaren Führungsplatte 116 für die zu bekettelnde Materialkante ein Fotofühler 117 angeordnet, der Licht von einer Lampe 118 empfangen kann, die als Arbeitslicht im Nähbereich ausgebildet ist.A photo sensor 117, which can receive light from a lamp 118, which is designed as working light in the sewing area, is arranged in the material support table in the direction of the material at a distance from the needle position and also at a distance from a guide plate 116 which can be pivoted away for the material edge to be bonded.

Der Fotofühler 117 gehört zu einer Einschalteinrichtung, die ein Steuergerät im elektrischen Steuerungsteil 119 (Fig. 2) enthält und kann darüber den Elektromagneten 104 zur Betätigung der Schneideinrichtung und Druckfußanhebung steuern (Fig. 8). Über einen Schalter 120 kann die Schneidautomatik angewählt oder manuell ausgeschaltet werden.The photo sensor 117 belongs to a switch-on device which contains a control device in the electrical control part 119 (FIG. 2) and can control the electromagnet 104 for actuating the cutting device and raising the pressure foot (FIG. 8). The automatic cutting system can be selected or switched off manually via a switch 120.

An dem abschwenkbaren Führungsblech 116 ist eine Einlaufrolle 121 angebracht, die vor dem Anfang des Materialauflagetisches 83 mit ihrer Oberkante etwas über deren Ebene liegt und deren Achse so schräg angeordnet ist, daß ein sich auf ihr bewegender Gegenstand unter einem kleinen Winkel gegen das Führungsblech 116 geschoben wird, insbesondere, wenn eine ebenfalls wegschwenkbare Druckrolle 122 das dazwischen geführte Material federnd auf die Einlaufrolle 121 drückt. Die schräge Achse 123 der Einlaufrolle 121 setzt sich als drehbare Welle auf der Rückseite der Führungsplatte 116 fort und trägt dort einen Impulsgeber 124, der beispielsweise einen Permanentmagneten 124 enthalten kann (Fig. 10). Dieser arbeitet mit einem berührungslosen Impulsnehmer 125 am Basisteil zusammen und gibt somit je einen Zählimpuls für einen Materialvorschub, der dem Umfang der Einlaufrolle entspricht. Das Ergebnis dieser Längenzählung kann über eine Anzeige 126 (Fig. 2) abgelesen und beispielsweise als Basis für eine Kostenberechnung verwendet werden. Kugelführungen 127 erleichtern die Materialverschiebung auf dem Tisch 83.On the swiveling guide plate 116, a feed roller 121 is attached, which lies in front of the beginning of the material support table 83 with its upper edge slightly above its level and whose axis is arranged at an angle so that an object moving on it is pushed against the guide plate 116 at a small angle becomes, in particular, when a pressure roller 122, which can also be pivoted away, resiliently presses the material guided in between onto the feed roller 121. The inclined axis 123 of the feed roller 121 continues as a rotatable shaft on the rear side of the guide plate 116 and carries a pulse generator 124 there, which can contain, for example, a permanent magnet 124 (FIG. 10). This works together with a contactless pulse pickup 125 on the base part and thus gives a counting pulse for a material feed, which corresponds to the circumference of the feed roller. The result of this length count can be read off on a display 126 (FIG. 2) and used, for example, as the basis for a cost calculation. Ball guides 127 facilitate material movement on the table 83.

Fig. 11 zeigt eine Fadenführungsöse 32 am Gehäuse 26. Die Ösen 30 am Fadenabspulrahmen 31 sind in ihrem Grundprinzip gleich ausgebildet. Die Öse 32 besteht aus einer Schlaufe aus einem blanken und glatten Draht 129, der auf einer Grundplatte 128 mit seinen beiden Enden angebracht ist. Die Öffnung 130 der Öse ist von einer Ringbegrenzung umgeben, die aus anderthalb spiraligen Drahtwindungen besteht, die eng aneinander liegen und somit ein Einklemmen des Fadens zwischen ihnen verhindern. An die Ringbegrenzung 131 schließen sich zwei Verbindungsschenkel 132 an, die die Ringbegrenzung 131 mit der Basisplatte 128 verbinden. Diese beiden Schenkel haben mit ihren Außenflächen einen Abstand voneinander, der mindestens so groß ist wie die größte Breite der Ringbegrenzung 131. Sie können parallel zueinander verlaufen oder evtl. etwas von der Ringbegrenzung zur Basisplatte hin divergieren.11 shows a thread guide eyelet 32 on the housing 26. The basic principles of the eyelets 30 on the thread unwinding frame 31 are identical. The eyelet 32 consists of a loop made of a bare and smooth wire 129, which is on a Base plate 128 is attached with its two ends. The opening 130 of the eyelet is surrounded by a ring boundary, which consists of one and a half spiral turns of wire, which lie close together and thus prevent the thread from being jammed between them. Two connecting legs 132 adjoin the ring boundary 131 and connect the ring boundary 131 to the base plate 128. The outer surfaces of these two legs are at a distance from one another which is at least as large as the greatest width of the ring boundary 131. They can run parallel to one another or possibly diverge somewhat from the ring boundary to the base plate.

Die beschriebene Öse verhindert, daß ein loser Faden sich in einer Schlaufe um den Verbindungsabschnitt legt und sich dann durch Bekneifen der übereinander liegenden Garnabschnitte festzieht, was zum Fadenbruch führen könnte. Bei dieser Ösenausbildung rutscht der Faden stets von alleine wieder über die Ringbegrenzung hinweg, wenn Zug darauf kommt.The eyelet described prevents a loose thread from looping around the connecting section and then tightening by pinching the yarn sections lying one above the other, which could lead to thread breakage. With this eyelet formation, the thread always slips over the ring boundary by itself when train comes on it.

Die Nähmaschine nach der Erfindung arbeitet nach folgendem Verfahren:
Nachdem die Nähmaschine beispielsweise an eine Baustelle transportiert, durch Abklappen des Tragtellers 19 in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Position aufgestellt und so arretiert wurde, können Garn- und Zwirnspulen 21, 25 aufgebracht und die Fäden 28, 29 eingefädelt werden. Der Verlauf des Zwirns ist bereits beschrieben worden. Zum Einfädeln des Garns 28 wird durch einen Einfädelkanal 133, der dem Basisteil 12 in Verlängerung des Garnführungskanals 47 verläuft, ein Einfädelwerkzeug 158 in Form eines Drahtes mit einem Haken an seiner Vorderseite eingeführt. Da die Mündung des Einfädelkanals 133 mit der Mündung des Garnführungskanals 47 und dem Öhr 69 im Garngreifer 65 fluchtet, wenn die Maschine sich in einer am Handrad 49 markierten Position befindet, kann das Einfädelwerkzeug 158 soweit hindurchgesteckt werden, bis es aus der äußeren Öffnung 134 des Garnführungskanals 47 heraussieht. Das Garn, das aus mehreren Einzelgarnen bestehen kann, kann dann in den Haken eingehängt und in einem Zug durch den Garnführungskanal und das Öhr 69 und den Einfädelkanal 133 hindurchgezogen werden. Nachdem es aus dem Haken entfernt ist, ist die Maschine betriebsbereit.
The sewing machine according to the invention works according to the following method:
After the sewing machine has been transported to a construction site, for example, and has been set up by locking the support plate 19 into the position shown in FIG. 2 and thus locked, thread and thread spools 21, 25 can be applied and the threads 28, 29 threaded. The course of the thread has already been described. For threading the yarn 28 is through a threading channel 133, which extends the base part 12 of the yarn guide channel 47, a threading tool 158 in the form of a wire is inserted with a hook on its front. Since the mouth of the threading channel 133 is aligned with the mouth of the thread guide channel 47 and the eye 69 in the thread gripper 65 when the machine is in a position marked on the handwheel 49, the threading tool 158 can be inserted until it comes out of the outer opening 134 of the Yarn guide channel 47 looks out. The yarn, which can consist of several individual yarns, can then be hooked into the hook and pulled through the yarn guide channel and the eye 69 and the threading channel 133 in one go. After it is removed from the hook, the machine is ready for operation.

Das zu umkettelnde Material 80 wird dann, in Fig. 1 von links beginnend, auf den Materialauflagetisch 83 gebracht. Die Druckrolle 122 kann hochgeschwenkt sein, wenn es sich um ein größeres Materialstück handelt. Die Maschine kann stationär, z.B. auf einem Tisch, aufgestellt sein. Vorteilhaft wird sie aber, auf ihren Rollen 16 und 17 laufend, an dem ausgelegten Material entlanggefahren, das sich nur relativ wenig hochwölben muß, um auf den Materialauflagetisch 83 zu kommen, weil der Basisteil 12 aufgrund der beschriebenen Ausbildung des Nähmechanismus relativ flach ausgebildet sein kann. Dabei sorgen auch die Einlaufrolle 121 und die Kugelführungen 127 für einen leichten Lauf. Ein Handgriff 138 ist mittels einer Rastbefestigung 153 am Gehäuse 26 anbringbar und über eine elektrische Steckverbindung mit der Nähmaschine 11 zu verbinden. Er kann auch an einem in Fig. 1 strichliert angedeuteten Verlängerungsstiel 152 angebracht werden, der seinerseits an der Rastbefestigung 153 eingerastet werden kann. Das erleichtert das Führen der Maschine am Boden.The material 80 to be linked is then brought to the material support table 83, starting from the left in FIG. 1. The pressure roller 122 can be swiveled up if it is a larger piece of material. The machine can be installed stationary, for example on a table. But it is advantageous, running on its rollers 16 and 17, along the laid out material, which only has to bulge relatively little to get onto the material support table 83, because the base part 12 can be made relatively flat due to the design of the sewing mechanism described . The feed roller 121 and the ball guides 127 also ensure smooth running. A handle 138 can be attached to the housing 26 by means of a snap fastening 153 and connected to the sewing machine 11 via an electrical plug connection. It can also be shown with a dashed line in FIG. 1 indicated extension stem 152 are attached, which in turn can be snapped onto the snap fastener 153. This makes it easier to drive the machine on the ground.

Die zu umkettelnde Kante 135 des Materials 80 läuft an dem Führungsblech 116 entlang und wird unter den Fußbügel 97 des Druckfusses 94 geführt, der zu diesem Zweck mittels des Anhebehebels 98 in eine obere Position gestellt wurde. Der Druckfuß wird daraufhin abgesenkt und drückt die Unterseite des Materials auf die Transport-Zahnleiste 81.The edge 135 of the material 80 to be linked runs along the guide plate 116 and is guided under the foot bracket 97 of the pressure foot 94, which for this purpose was set in an upper position by means of the lifting lever 98. The pressure foot is then lowered and presses the underside of the material onto the transport rack 81.

Nach Einschalten des Hauptschalters 136 (Fig. 2) wird dann die Maschine an dem zum Transport abnehmbaren Handgriff 138 ergriffen und mittels eines im Griff vorgesehenen Betriebsschalters 137 in Gang gesetzt. Der anhand von Fig. 9 beschriebene Transport wird dadurch in Gang gesetzt und transportiert das Material in Transportrichtung 58 bzw. zieht die Maschine in entsprechende Richtung an der Materialkante entlang. Die Transportlänge je Hub, d.h. die Stichlänge, kann über den Einstellknopf 89 eingestellt werden, der die Gewindebuchse 87, an der das Pleuel 84 angreift, auf der Gewindestange 88 verschiebt und damit den Schwenkwinkel des Hebels 86 und damit die Längsverschiebung der Stange 91 und der Zahnleiste 81 bestimmt.After the main switch 136 (FIG. 2) is switched on, the machine is then gripped by the handle 138 which can be removed for transport and started by means of an operating switch 137 provided in the handle. The transport described with reference to FIG. 9 is thereby set in motion and transports the material in the transport direction 58 or pulls the machine along the edge of the material in the corresponding direction. The transport length per stroke, i.e. the stitch length can be set via the adjusting knob 89, which moves the threaded bushing 87, on which the connecting rod 84 engages, on the threaded rod 88 and thus determines the pivoting angle of the lever 86 and thus the longitudinal displacement of the rod 91 and the toothed rack 81.

Die Nahtbildung wird anhand der Figuren 4 bis 6 beschrieben. In Fig. 4 hat der Überwendlichgreifer 66 mit seiner Greifergabel 150 eine Garn-Überwendlichschlaufe 139 um die Materialkante 135 herumgezogen und in eine Position jenseits der Nadel 46 gebracht, so daß diese in die Überwendlichschlaufe 139 einstechen kann. Dabei greift der Überwendlichgreifer 66 hinter der Nadel vorbei, die Nadel sticht in die Schlaufe, d.h. hinter dem vorderen Garn der Schlaufe ein, während der Zwirn außerhalb der Schlaufe bleibt, d.h. vor dem Garn vorbeiläuft. Dies bezieht sich auf die in den Figuren 4 bis 6 gewählte Darstellung, bei der die Transportrichtung des Materials (Pfeil 58) auf den Betrachter zu gewählt ist.Seam formation is described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. In FIG. 4, the overlock gripper 66 has drawn a yarn overlock loop 139 around the material edge 135 with its gripper fork 150 and brought it into a position beyond the needle 46 so that it can pierce the overlock loop 139. The overhand gripper 66 engages past the needle, the needle sticks into the loop, ie behind the front yarn of the loop, while the thread remains outside the loop, ie runs past the yarn. This relates to the illustration chosen in FIGS. 4 to 6, in which the direction of transport of the material (arrow 58) is selected to the viewer.

Aus Fig. 4 ist ferner zu erkennen, daß das aus dem Garnführungskanal 47 kommende Garn 28 durch das Öhr 69 des Garngreifers 65 läuft und durch Verschwenkung entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn dieses nachzieht. In Fig. 5 hat der Überwendlichgreifer 66 die Überwendlichschlaufe 139 freigegeben, die Nadel das Material durchstochen und dadurch eine Zwirnschlaufe um einen Arm der Überwendlichschlaufe an der Oberseite gebildet.From Fig. 4 it can also be seen that the yarn 28 coming out of the yarn guide channel 47 runs through the eye 69 of the yarn gripper 65 and pulls it counterclockwise. 5, the overlock gripper 66 has released the overlock loop 139, the needle pierced the material, and thereby formed a twisted loop around an arm of the overlock loop on the top.

Der nun wieder im Uhrzeigersinn schwenkende Garngreifer 65 fährt oberhalb des Nadelöhrs 45 zwischen der Nadel und dem Zwirn hindurch und zieht, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 6 zu sehen ist, das Garn zur Bildung der Überwendlichschlaufe durch eine untere Zwirnschlaufe. Eine in Fig. 6 angedeutete, an die Mündung des Garnführungskanals 47 anschließende Garnleitrolle 154 erleichtert das Nachziehen der Garnlänge. Die Überwendlichschlaufe 139 bildet sich also zwischen der Garnzuführung über dem Garnführungskanal 47 und einem Garnabschnitt, der an die letzte Überwendlichschlaufe anschließt. In diesem Bereich greift der Haltegreifer 67 ein und verhindert, daß dieser Garnabschnitt (Halteschlaufe 140) bei der Bildung der Überwendlichnaht zu weit in Richtung auf die Kante 135 gezogen wird. In dieser Position ist nämlich die untere Zwirnschlaufe 141 noch nicht festgezogen, und somit würde der Zwirn nicht im Bereich der Stichreihe, sondern irgendwo zwischen dieser und der Kante 135 liegen.The yarn gripper 65, which now pivots clockwise again, passes between the needle and the thread above the eye 45 of the needle and, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 6, pulls the yarn through a lower thread loop to form the overlocking loop. A yarn guide roller 154 indicated in FIG. 6 and adjoining the mouth of the yarn guide channel 47 facilitates the retraction of the yarn length. The overlock loop 139 thus forms between the yarn feeder above the yarn guide channel 47 and a yarn section which connects to the last overlock loop. The holding gripper 67 engages in this area and prevents this yarn section (holding loop 140) from being pulled too far towards the edge 135 when the overlock seam is formed. This is the position lower twine loop 141 has not yet been tightened, and thus the twine would not lie in the area of the stitch row, but somewhere between it and the edge 135.

Aus Fig. 6 ist zu erkennen, daß der Überwendlichgreifer 66 nach seinem völligen Zurückschwenken wieder aufwärtsläuft und dabei ist, in die Überwendlichschlaufe einzugreifen und diese um die Kante 135 herumzulegen, während der Garngreifer 65 wieder in die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Position zurückschwenkt und die Nadel aufwärtsläuft. Eine in Fig. 5 angedeutete Nadelführung 155 unterhalb der Stichplatte verhindert ein Verbiegen der Nadel beim Festziehen des Stichs.From Fig. 6 it can be seen that the overlock gripper 66 runs upwards again after it has been pivoted completely back and is about to engage in the overlock loop and lay it around the edge 135, while the yarn gripper 65 pivots back into the position shown in Fig. 4 and the The needle runs upwards. A needle guide 155 indicated in FIG. 5 below the stitch plate prevents the needle from bending when the stitch is tightened.

Mit diesem Nähmechanismus wird die in Fig. 7 gezeigte Zweifaden-Überwendlichnaht 156 hergestellt, die bei großer Haltbarkeit und geringem Verbrauch an dem relativ teuren Zwirn eine große Haltbarkeit gewährleistet. Es ist zu erkennen, daß je Stich 142 zwei Garnschlaufen um die Kante 135 herum gelegt werden, während der Zwirn 29 in Draufsicht fast geradlinig von Stich zu Stich verläuft und die Garnschlaufen festhält. Es kann also ein dekoratives, relativ bauschiges und trotzdem preisgünstiges Garn verwendet werden, da dies beim Nähvorgang nur schwach belastet wird und die Haltefunktion von dem Zwirn 29 übernommen werden kann. Es war bereits erwähnt worden, daß die Begriffe "Garn" und "Zwirn" hier nur zur Unterscheidung der beiden Fadenfunktionen und nicht notwendig ihrer Art benutzt werden. So kann als Zwirn beispielsweise jede ausreichend feste Fadenart verwendet werden, beispielsweise auch monofiler Kunststoff-Faden. Das gleiche gilt für den Begriff "Garn".With this sewing mechanism, the two-thread overlock seam 156 shown in FIG. 7 is produced, which ensures great durability with great durability and low consumption of the relatively expensive thread. It can be seen that for each stitch 142 two yarn loops are placed around the edge 135, while the thread 29 runs almost straight from stitch to stitch in plan view and holds the yarn loops. It is therefore possible to use a decorative, relatively bulky, and nevertheless inexpensive yarn, since this is only slightly stressed during the sewing process and the holding function can be taken over by the twine 29. It had already been mentioned that the terms "yarn" and "twine" are used here only to distinguish the two thread functions and not necessarily their type. For example, any sufficiently strong type of thread can be used as the thread, for example also monofilament plastic thread. The same applies to the term "yarn".

Es sei noch erwähnt, daß die Überwendlichschlaufe 139 nicht direkt um die Kante 135 herumgezogen wird, sondern um die Führungsnase 115 (Fig. 10), von der sie aber vor dem Festziehen der Überwendlichschlaufe abrutscht. Zwischen Materialkante 135 und Führungsnase 115 läuft auch, wenn gewünscht, das Beilaufband 23 ein, das die Kante 135 abdeckt, um beispielsweise bei sehr langflorigem Teppich zu verhindern, daß Florteile zwischen den Garnschlaufen herausstehen. Wegen der ausgezeichneten Nahtbildungsqualitäten und dem großen Verstellbereich der Stichlängen kann auch mit einem dekorativem Beilaufband gearbeitet werden, das, beispielsweise mit monofil durchsichtigem Garn lediglich mit relativ großem Stichabstand festgekettelt wird.It should also be mentioned that the overlock loop 139 is not pulled directly around the edge 135, but rather around the guide lug 115 (FIG. 10), from which it slips off before the overlock loop is tightened. Between the material edge 135 and the guide lug 115, the run-in belt 23, which covers the edge 135, also runs in, if desired, in order to prevent, for example, very long-pile carpets, that pile parts protrude between the yarn loops. Because of the excellent seam formation qualities and the large adjustment range of the stitch lengths, it is also possible to work with a decorative side tape which, for example with monofilament transparent yarn, is only chained with a relatively large stitch spacing.

Es sei noch erwähnt, daß die Fadenzuführung aufgrund der beschriebenen Anordnung sehr gleichförmig und ohne Gefahr einer Überspannung erfolgt. Der durch die Spulenabwicklung nach oben erzeugte Zusatzdrall in den Fäden wird durch die beschriebenen Fadenspanner ausgeglichen und dem Garn bzw. Zwirn wird auf der Zulaufseite kein zusätzlicher Drall aufgezwungen, was bei Platten-Fadenspannern infolge des schraubenförmigen Verlaufs der garnkardeele geschehen könnte. Die Spannungsausgleichsfeder 42 zusammen mit dem Fadenheber sorgt für einen gleichmäßigen Durchlauf des Garns durch den Fadenspanner. Die Zwirnspannung braucht allerdings bei der Nähmaschine nicht hoch gewählt zu werden, weil durch den Haltegreifer 67 die Zurückhaltung der unteren Garnschlaufe im Stichbereich nicht mittels hoher Zwirnspannung erreicht zu werden braucht. Die Gefahr eines Zwirnbruchs ist daher wesentlich verringert.It should also be mentioned that the thread feed takes place very uniformly and without the risk of overvoltage due to the arrangement described. The additional twist in the threads generated by the bobbin winding is compensated for by the thread tensioners described and no additional twist is imposed on the yarn or twine on the inlet side, which could happen with plate thread tensioners as a result of the helical course of the yarn cardels. The tension compensation spring 42 together with the thread lifter ensures an even passage of the yarn through the thread tensioner. However, the thread tension does not need to be selected high in the sewing machine, because the holding gripper 67 does not have to be used to hold the lower thread loop in the stitch area by means of high thread tension. The risk of thread breakage is therefore significantly reduced.

Bei Annäherung an eine Materialecke wird der bisher vom Material 80 abgedeckte Fotofühler 117 frei und erhält Licht von der Lampe 118. Dadurch wird die Einschalteinrichtung ausgelöst, und der bis dahin stromlose Magnet 104 zieht an. Er schwenkt dabei die Blattfeder 103 entgegen dem Uhrzeiger sinn, so daß auch der Hebel 101 in diese Richtung verschwenkt wird (Fig. 8). Dadurch wird die Klemmplatte 100 mit den Kanten ihres Loches an die Druckfußstange 99 angepreßt und verklemmt diese so, daß sie sich nur noch aufwärts, aber nicht mehr abwärts bewegen läßt. Da während des Transportes durch die Transportzahnleiste 81 das Material und damit auch der Druckfuß periodisch angehoben und abgesenkt wird, wird jetzt der Druckfuß nur noch aufwärts bewegt und bleibt dann in der oberen Lage stehen. Er hat dann in der oberen Transportposition noch Kontaktdruck, gibt aber beim Absenken der Zahnleiste 81 das Material frei, so daß es relativ zur Nähmaschine 11 gedreht werden kann (bzw. umgekehrt). Gleichzeitig schwenkt der untere Hebelarm 106 so nach rechts, daß der bisher daran anliegende Arm des Messerantriebsgliedes 78 frei wird und damit Messer 108 und Messerstange 109 unter der Kraft der Feder 110 gegen die Kurve 53 gedrückt und von dieser oszillierend bewegt werden können. Das Messer arbeitet also und schneidet mit seiner schrägen Schneide 111 im Zusammenwirken mit der Gegenschneide 113 eine z.B. bisher spitz rechtwinklige Ecke des Materials in einem nicht zu großen, aber gleichmäßigen Radius ab. Die dabei entstehenden Schnittabfälle können durch einen Abfallkanal 143 (Fig. 1 und 10) im Basisteil 12 abgeführt werden.When approaching a corner of the material, the photo sensor 117 previously covered by the material 80 is released and receives light from the lamp 118. This activates the switch-on device and the magnet 104, which has been currentless until then, attracts. He pivots the leaf spring 103 counterclockwise, so that the lever 101 is pivoted in this direction (Fig. 8). As a result, the clamping plate 100 is pressed with the edges of its hole against the pressure foot rod 99 and clamps it in such a way that it can only be moved upwards but not downwards. Since the material and thus also the pressure foot is periodically raised and lowered by the transport toothed strip 81 during transport, the pressure foot is now only moved upwards and then remains in the upper position. He then still has contact pressure in the upper transport position, but releases the material when lowering the toothed rack 81 so that it can be rotated relative to the sewing machine 11 (or vice versa). At the same time, the lower lever arm 106 pivots to the right in such a way that the arm of the knife drive element 78, which was previously in contact with it, becomes free and thus the knife 108 and knife rod 109 can be pressed against the curve 53 under the force of the spring 110 and can be moved by this in an oscillating manner. The knife thus works and, with its oblique cutting edge 111 in cooperation with the counter cutting edge 113, cuts off a corner of the material, for example a point which was previously rectangular, in a radius that is not too large but uniform. The resulting cut waste can be discharged through a waste channel 143 (FIGS. 1 and 10) in the base part 12.

Der Schnittradius wird dadurch bestimmt, daß die Führungsplatte 116 mit ihrer in Transportrichtung 58 weisenden Kante 144 in einem Abstand vom Nähbereich, und insbesondere der Nadelposition liegt. Erst wenn die Materialecke diese Kante 144 passiert hat, kann das Material relativ zur Maschine gedreht werden. Die Rundung wird dann sofort anschließend umkettelt. Nachdem die Rundung beendet ist, überdeckt das Material wieder den Fotofühler 117, und die Einschalteinrichtung macht den Magneten 104 stromlos. Dadurch wird der Hebel 101 im Sinne einer Drehung im Uhrzeigersinn belastet, die Klemmplatte 100 gibt die Druckfußstange 99 frei, und das Messerbetätigungsglied 78 gleitet bei seiner Schwenkbewegung an dem Arm 106 entlang und greift kurz vor dem Totpunkt unter diesen Hebel und wird damit blockiert. Durch die aus Fig. 8 zu erkennende Schräge der unteren Fläche des Arms 106 arbeitet sich das Messerbetätigungsglied in eine Position, wo es von der Kurve 53 nicht mehr bewegt wird. Damit ist das Messer in seiner unteren Position blockiert, so daß auch die Schneide versenkt und abgedeckt liegt.The cutting radius is determined by the fact that the guide plate 116, with its edge 144 pointing in the transport direction 58, lies at a distance from the sewing area, and in particular the needle position. Only when the material corner has passed this edge 144 can the material be rotated relative to the machine. The curve is then immediately linked. After the rounding is complete, the material covers the photo sensor 117 again and the switch-on device de-energizes the magnet 104. As a result, the lever 101 is loaded in the sense of a clockwise rotation, the clamping plate 100 releases the pressure foot rod 99, and the knife actuating member 78 slides along the arm 106 during its pivoting movement and engages under this lever shortly before the dead center and is thus blocked. Due to the inclination of the lower surface of the arm 106 which can be seen from FIG. 8, the knife actuating element works into a position where it is no longer moved by the curve 53. So that the knife is blocked in its lower position, so that the cutting edge is sunk and covered.

Es ist möglich, einen zusätzlichen Fotofühler 157 (Fig. 10) in geringem Abstand vom normalen Verlauf der Kante 135 hinter der Stichposition vorzusehen, der mit dem Fotofühler 117 wirkungsmäßig in Reihe geschaltet ist. In diesem Fall würde das Messer erst dann anlaufen, wenn das Material zum Eckenrunden auf dem Tisch 83 gedreht wird und nicht, wenn das Material z.B. beim Streifenketteln zu Ende ist. Da das Messer jedoch außerhalb des Verlaufs der Kante 135 arbeitet, stört dies kaum.It is possible to provide an additional photo sensor 157 (FIG. 10) at a short distance from the normal course of the edge 135 behind the stitch position, which is effectively connected in series with the photo sensor 117. In this case, the knife would only start up when the material for turning corners on table 83 is rotated and not when the material is e.g. finished streaking. However, since the knife works outside the course of the edge 135, this hardly disturbs.
