  • the present invention relates to a sewing machine provided with an upper thread cutting mechanism which cuts an upper thread upon completion of sewing and an upper thread holding mechanism which holds an end of the upper thread cut by the upper thread cutting mechanism.
  • Some types of conventional sewing machines have been provided with a thread cutting device which cuts upper and lower threads both extending to workpiece cloth. Furthermore, the conventional sewing machines have also been provided with an upper thread holding device which holds ends of the upper and lower threads cut by the thread cutting device. The thread cutting device cuts the upper and lower threads over or below workpiece cloth automatically or in response to instructions to cut threads by an operator upon completion of sewing.
  • JP-A-H04-26490 discloses an upper thread cutting device for a sewing machine, comprising an upper thread cutting device including an upper thread holding mechanism, a cutting member, a fixed plate and a cylinder.
  • the upper thread cutting device is provided on an upper side of a sewing bed.
  • the upper thread cutting mechanism causes the cutting member to generate heat which is used to cut an upper thread located between a cloth presser and workpiece cloth.
  • the upper thread holding mechanism is returned to an original position while holding an end of the upper thread at the needle side.
  • a sewing operation of the needle applies a drawing force to the upper thread end held by the upper thread holding mechanism. As a result, the upper thread end is drawn to the needle side thereby to drop out of the upper thread holding mechanism.
  • JP-A-H02-213385 discloses a thread cutting device for a sewing machine, comprising a pair of needle thread cutters and a holder each located above workpiece cloth, a fixed cutter, a movable-cutter pivoting arm and a bobbin-thread pulling plate each located below the workpiece cloth.
  • the needle thread is cut by the paired needle thread cutters and thereafter, an end of the needle thread is held between one of the needle thread cutters and the holder.
  • the movable-cutter pivoting arm and the bobbin-thread pulling plate are caused to pivot simultaneously so that the bobbin thread is cut by the fixed cutter.
  • Various patterns are sometimes sewn onto leather goods such as belts or bags using a sewing machine.
  • the operator uses a heated iron in order to melt down the last stitches of the upper and lower threads cut by the respective cutting mechanisms into a spherical shape after completion of the sewing.
  • the last stitches of the upper and lower threads are rendered spherical in order that fray may be prevented.
  • the operator needs to pick the cut upper and lower threads with his or her fingers and to retain the threads in a stretched state.
  • a piston of a cylinder is moved forward when the upper thread is cut upon completion of the sewing.
  • the upper thread extending from the workpiece cloth to the needle eye is to be cut between a cloth presser and the workpiece cloth, namely, at the upper surface side of the workpiece cloth.
  • the end of the upper thread is too short such that the operator has a difficulty in picking the end of the upper thread with his or her fingers.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a sewing machine which can prevent the end of the upper thread cut by an upper thread cutting mechanism from being sewn at the time of start of the subsequent sewing.

  • the upper thread movable blade is moved to the upper side thread take-up position by the upper moving mechanism and is then returned to the upper side thread cutting position with the upper thread being hooked thereon.
  • the upper thread is cut by the upper thread cutting mechanism.
  • the upper thread extending from the workpiece cloth is longer than the distance from the needle eye to the needle plate. Consequently, the fray preventing work can be carried out easily and quickly using an iron.
  • the sewing machine further comprises an upper thread releasing mechanism.
  • the upper thread holding mechanism has an upper thread holding spring which cooperates with the upper thread movable blade to clamp the end of the upper thread therebetween, thereby holding the end.
  • the upper thread releasing mechanism releases the upper thread held between the upper thread movable blade and the upper thread holding spring

  • the upper thread releasing mechanism has a second air cylinder which reciprocally moves the upper thread movable blade
  • a range of movement of the upper thread movable blade by the second air cylinder is narrower than a range of movement of the upper thread movable blade by the first air cylinder
  • the second air cylinder has a drive force which is set so as to be larger than a drive force of the first air cylinder.
  • the upper thread movable blade is reciprocally moved between the upper side thread cutting position and the upper side thread take-up position by the first air cylinder.
  • the upper thread movable blade holds the upper thread in cooperation with the upper thread holding spring.
  • the second air cylinder with a larger drive force as compared with the first air cylinder is driven, the upper thread movable blade is moved to a position before the upper side thread take-up position (upper release position). The upper thread movable blade can be prevented from colliding against the needle even during sewing.
