SEWINGJVIACHINE LOOP-TAKER.
Application filed November 27, 1911.
To all whom it may concern lie it known that We, PHILIP DIEHL and MARTIN HnMLnn, citizens of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have mvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine Loop-Takers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
In Patent No. 663,808, of December 11., 1900, is described a revolving hook sewing machine without a bobbin-case ring having an early cast-off and in which the bobbincase contains an L-shapcd flange having a bearing Within a correspondingly formed gain of which the approximately disk-like shank of the hook forms the inwardly pro 'jecting member.
One feature of our invention consists of a hook gain of less diameter. than the hook shank. i
Another feature consists in the reforming of the hook shank into an approximate cylinder outside the hook gain.
Another feature of our invention consists of a gain cover independent of the hook shank.
.Another feature of our invention consists of separating the hook throat (whereby the loop is deflected into the loop-retainer) from the hook and mounting the same in a part in alinement with said gain.
Another feature of our invention consists in dispensing with the hook-shank surface wherein the outer branch of the -thread rolled over the gain in said Patent No.
(363,808, and in cxteri'orly confining said outer branch to the approximately cylindrical hook near the point at which said gain commences.
Another feature of our invention consists Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 662,595. i
' in making the gainor raceway-cover elastic to enable it to yield to prevent the clogging of the raceway.
Another feature of our invention consists in forming in both the hook member and bobbin-case ring clearing slits transverse to the raceway, and the tongue fitted thereto.
riphery of the case.
Certainpther features of the present invention will be set forth in the following description and recited in the appended claims.
In the following description and the appended claims, we employ the word forward to indicate the direction longitudi nally of the axis of motion toward which the hook faces, and the word advance to indicate approximately circumferentially in the direction toward which the hook advances in seizing the neelle-thread loops. Each of these terms denotes a direction relatively to the axis of rotation or oscillation. whether that axis be horizontal or vertical or inclined.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the operative parts of a sewing machine embodying the present invention, with the frame represented in dotted lines, and Fig. 1 is a detail front view of the take-up mechanism. Fig. 2 is a. front view and Fig. 3 a rear view of a loop-taker containing the present improvements. Fig. 4- is a perspective view of the hook member. Fig. 5 a face view of the same, Fig. (i a transverse section thereof and Fig. 7 a face view similar to Fig. 5, but with the racewaycover in position. F 8 is a perspective view of the raceway-cover. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the bobbin-cse ring or holder taken from the rearward side. Fig. '10 is a plan of the bobbin-case, Fig. 11 a perspective view of the same, Fig. 12 a vertical section thereof and Fig. 13 a perspective view of a detail thereof.
ihe loop-taker of the present improve- ..rent is represented as cr'nnprising a hookniembcr or ring, a bobbin-case section or.
holding ring journalcd therein, and a hobb1n-case section in the form of a cap removably sustained by said holding ring, but it is evident that certain features of the pres mental body connected at the inner edge by a series offdished radial arms 2 with the hub 3 centrallyapertured to admit the forward endof' the hook-shaft upon which it is adapted to -.be' secured.
The'hook-ning has upon the .outer edge of its forward face a forwardly extending segmental flange a whose advance portion forms the sl 'zink'fof the-'loop seizing hook or beak .fi -projecting in advance, thereof beyond the adjacent.fextremity of the hook-ring 1 and at' an angle with theperipherythereof and having its pointfi substantially in line with ,the extreme cuterforforward edge of the flange 4 and its lower edge 6" inclined backward-1y and merging into the inner edge of the hook-ring-to afford a loop-deflecting surface. The .bea'k' of' the hook-member is, in a radial direction, of .an approximately uniformthinness from point to base. It is of the beak 5 with its,outer edge 8 inclined backwardly and longitudinally of the axis of movement of the beak, as represented in' Fig. 6, to afford a loop-deflecting surface and forming at its unction with the latter a throat 9 substantially parallel with the axis of. the hook-ring and having its forward extremity at the forward edge of the hookshank. The opposite end portion 4* of the flange 4 has a forwardly inclined edge to afforda lower thread pull-off for drawing suflicient thread from the bobbin for the production of each stitch.
,The hook-ring 1 has in its forward or outer face a forwardly facing circular bearing groove or raceway 10 which is of less diameter than the hook-shank, as represented particularly in Fig. 5, and the inner wall of this groove is cut down to a smaller depth than the outer wall.
The bobbin-case holder or carrier is constructed with the annular body 11 formed exteriorly with an L-shaped peripheral tongue comprising the annular rib 12 adapted to rest upon the seat afforded by the margin 10* of the hook-ring groove 10 and an inwardly extending member formed as an annular lip 13. entering and fitted to the opposite walls of the groove 10. The L-shaped tongue thus produced is cut away on one side to form the loop-detaining hooked shoulder 14, tapered toward the outer face of the tongue, and the heel or loop-confining shoulder 15. The interruption of the hookring is greater than that of said tongue on the bobbin-case holder for reasons which will presently appear.
Secured upon the outer or forward face of the hook-ring by means of screws 16 tapped into threaded apertures 17 therein, beyond the-rearward end ofthe flange 4 and near the extremity farthest from the beak 5, is the fiat segmental cover-plate 18 whose inner margin overhangs the groove 10 and forms therewith an L-shaped raceway open upon the side toward the axis of the hook-ring to receive the L-shaped tongue of the bobbin-case holder. As represented particularly in Figs. 5 and 6, the L-shaped groove (Jr-raceway of the hook has an annular portionor member with spaced integral side-walls concentric with the cylindrical body of the hook, the outer side-wall being the full depth of the raceway between the bottom of such groove and the adjacent face of the cover-plate 18, and an inwardlyv extending portion or member in angular-1c lation therewith and spaced from the adjacent face of said cover-plate. -The coverplate 18 is preferably made of resilient material and sufiiciently thin to enable its free extremity to yield outwardly within a lateral groove or pocket .19 adjacent the base of the beak in which suitable clearance is provided for the purpose, the extremity of the cover-plate resting lightly upon the outer face of said tongue to hold it yieldingly seated within the raceway of the hookring. The freeextrcmity of the racewaycover is formed in the marginal portion overhanging the bearing tongue with a thread-engaging element or a nose 18 whose inner edge affords a convex loop-deflecting surface which is shown flanking on the inside the base of the beak 5 which is flanked upon the outer side by the loop-spreading member 7. It will be observed that the operative portions of both the loop-deflecting nose 18 and the loop-spreading mraaber 7 are disposed backward of the point' of the hook'both circlunferentiallyand axially. The object of the loop-deflecting surface of the nose 18 is to thrust aside the inner limb of a needle-thread loop carried past loopseizing position bynthe beak of the hook so as to-be caught by the loop-detaining shoulder 14 of the bobbin-case holder while the outer limb is carried over the outer face of the bobbin-case by the continued movement of the hook-member.
As represented in the drawings, the hookring is provided with clearing slits 20 disposed transversely toand in intersecting re lation with the bearing groove 10, and the bearing ton ue of the bobbin-case holding ring is simi arly provided with a series of transverse clearing slits 21. In case, owing to the general character or defects in the j needle-thread, the inner limb of the loop tongue 25 85,
l restraining porting post 23 but to be should at times fail to be caught by the detaining shoulder 14 and be introduced within the raceway, theparts would be prevent ed from jamming by the yielding of the free end of the raceway-cover, and the two series of clearing slits 20 and 21 would produce a shearing action upon the interposed thread While affording desired apertures to enable the particles of thread to be ejected so as .to effectively maintain the raceway cleared.
he same is true of any particles of lint or dirt which might be introduced in the raceway. By this means, the free running of the operative parts of themachine is insured.
The thread-case body-section or holding ring 11 is provided at its inner end with the cross-bar 22 sustaining the axially disposed pin or post 23 provided with an annular-1y notched head 24 of Wellknown form. It is shown provided with a forwardly extending having a tapered and outwardly bent extension 26 formed with the parallel sidednotch 27 to admit a detaining lug for the holder against rotation with the hook member, all as described more fully in our pending application Serial N 0. 638,059, filed July 12, 1911.
'The thread-case is shown formed with a cylindrical. body '23, open at its inner end and formed with a closed outer end whichcarries an axial tubular post 29 whichis in practice fitted upon the supporting pin 23 4 of the holding ri g 11 as a bearing,
and upon which is mounte the bobbin 30 carrying the mass of lower thread Z). In general constructive features, this case is similar to that of our pending application Serial No. 626,734, filed May 12, 1911, the front end of the bobbin-case being provided withundercut guide-ribs 31 to which are fitted the op posite edges of the spring-pressed latchplate 32 formed with an aperture 33 adapted to engage the necked head 24 of the supdisengaged by shifting the apertured lever-plate 34 for removal of the thread-case. The peripheral wall of the thread-case is provided with an inclined threading slit 35 extending from the open inner end to an'aperture 36 inter.- mediate its ends. v
As represented in the drawings, the closed end of the thread-case is formed with a needle in its loop-presenting position, and at one side of such cut nearest the threading slit a thread guiding tongue 38 is produced by a slit extending from the edge to the clearance cut 37 adjacent the rib 31 and another cut which disconnects the edge of the tongue from the cylindrical wall of the case, a thread-delivery aperture 39 being thus formed between the tongue and the adjacent edge of the side wall of the case. The aperture 39 is substantially closed at the end adjacent the clearance cut 37 by means of the inturned i lip 10 of a springplate 41 riveted or otherwise secured upon the tongue 33.
Secured uponthe periphery of the threadcase by means ofscrews t2 and 43 is the ten sion spring 44; whose operative portion overlies the space between the terminal aperture 36 of the threading slit andthe outer edge of the case adjacent the base of the tongue 38. The pressure of the spring upon the exterior of the thread-case may be adjusted by the usual manipulation of the screw 4C3. In applying a bobbin, the latter is introduced in the open end of the thread-case and the thread drawn through the threading slit 35, beneath the the outer end of the guide-tongue 38 and thence intermediate the confining lip and the edge of the side wall into the aperture 39 from which the correct lead of the thread to the under face of the work is insured in the operation of the loop-taker, the threadcase being locked against turning relatively to the stationary holding member 11 by engagement of its shoulders 45 and 46 with the edges of the tongue 25 of the holding member. 1
Referring now more particularly to Fig. l, the frame comprises the bed-plate 47 with overhanging bracket-arm 48' in which is journaled the mainorneedle-driving shaft 9 carrying-at its rearward end the driving pulley 50 and adjacent the, same, within the hollow standard of the bracket-arm, the pin pulley 51 embraced by the flexible perforated belt 52 which is shown crossed and encir- -clingthe smaller pin-pulley 53 fixed upon the rearward end of the loop-taker shaft 54 journaled beneath the bed-plate of the ma chine and receiving two rotations for each rotation of the main-shaft. The hub 3 of the hook-ring is fixed upon the forward end of the shaft 54 in the usual manner, and the thread-case is held stationary within the hook by means of the arm 55 secured to a tension spring 4%, under stationary part of the machine and formed with a lateral lug 56 entering the notch 27 of the bobbin-case holder.
Cooperating with the loop-seizing member in the production of stitches is the eye-pointed needle 57 carried by the reciprocating needle-bar 58 journaled in the head of the bracket-arm and having fixed thereon the collar 59 carrying the lateral stud 60 which is embraced by a boss at one end of the pitman 61 whose opposite end embraces the crank-pin 62 of a block 63 at the outer end of the take-up crank-pints which is fixed in the crank-plate 65 secured upon th'forward end of the main-shaft 49.
The crank-pin 64 is embraced by the lower end of the link 66 connected by means of the pivotal pin 67 with the free end of the swinging arm 68 whose other end has a boss fitted upon the stationary fulcrum-pin (i9 fixed in the head of the bracket-arm. The link 66 is provided at its upper end with the outwardly extending take-up arm 70 having the thread-eye 71 which is thus offset from the pivotal connections of said link with the actuating crank-pin and the arm 68.
The feeding mechanism is shown comprising the feed-dog 72 which in practice works through the usual openings in the throat-plate 78 and is secured upon the feedbar 74 pivotally connected at its rearward end with the upwardly extending feedrocker 75 of the rock-shaft 76 having the lateral arm 77 pivotally connected with the lower end of the link-bar 7 8 forked at its upper end to embrace the block 7 9 fitted upon the feed-actuating eccentric upon the main shaft, the link-bar being sustained by a pivotal connection with the swinging link 80 journaled upon the fulcrum-stud 81 carried by the feed-regulating bellcrank-lcver 82 mounted upon the fixed stud 83. The opposite end of the feed-bar has a sliding and pivotal connection with a lateral crank-arm 84 of the feed-lifting rock-shaft 85 having the lateral arm 86 pivotally connected with the lower end of the pitman 87 having at its opposite end the strap 88 embracing the feed-lifting eccentric upon the main-shaft. Opposed to the feed-dog is the usual presserfoot 89 attached to the spring-pressed resser-bar 90.
The machine is provided with the usual needle-thread tension device 91 through which the thread a is led from the source of supply through the guide-eye 92, and be -neath the check-spring 93 and under the compensator arm 94: carried by the presserbar, through the eye .71 of the take-up arm to the needle-eye.
In the operation of the rotary hook machine, in which the present improvement is shown embodied, the needle descends and as it begins to rise presents a loop of needle thread a which is entered by the point'6 of the loop-taker beak, the lower thread 6 lead ing) from the outer end of the thread-case to the needle-hole 73* of the throat-plate. As the hook-member l continues its loopcasting movement, one limb of the needle thread loop is thrust backwardly by the acswinging tion of the rearward deflecting edge of the the inclined loop-deflecting edge 8 of the loop-deflector 7 so as to cause it to lead from the extreme forward edge of the externally cylindrical hook-shank4 over which it extends directly to the needle-hole 73.
In completing a semi-rotation from loopseizing position, the hook-member carries the forward limb of the thread-loop with-' out obstruction over the outer face of the bobbin-case to cast-off positions, as represented in full lines in Fig. 1 and in dotted lines in Fig. 2 wherein the take-up is en abled to immediately begin its rising or thread drawing movement. The take-up is so constructed and timed relatively to the movement of the loop-taker that the reduotion in the size of the distended thread-loop progresses in such manner that the latter is drawn gradually from the beak of the hook but not wholly disengaged therefrom until the point of the latter has traversed nearly a quarter circumference, so as to control the loop atsuch time against twisting or kinking. During this period, the threadloop remains confined between the shoulders 14 and 15 and periphery of the bobbincase holder and the hook-ring 1, the loopconfining shoulder 15 remaining housed within the raceway .10. As the take-up arm 68 approaches its highestv or stitch-setting position, the hook-member advances sufliciently to uncover the loop-confining shoulder- 15 so as to release the thread-loop which is drawn up by the take-up and around the strand of lower-thread 1) leading from the bobbin-case to the work.
By means of the construction just described, the hook-member is caused to manipulate the needle-thread loop with .certainty, not only in casting the forward limb thereof freely over the front face of the bobbin-case without employment of an inclined cast-off surface upon the exterior of the hook-member, but in insuring the presentation of the other limb of the thread loop for engagement with and detention by the inwardinclination of thebeak 5 of the hookmember, the outer face of the latter assumes -an upwardly inclined "position when the. throat 9 reaches its lowest point as represented in dotted lines in'Fig. 2, thereby in suring an early cast-off of the thread-loop. As before describedi" the beak is flanked inside and outside by thread deflecting elemenace spreads the loop toward the rear while the spreading or deflecting element 8 deflects it to the forward corner of the triangular beak. T he inner branch of the loop is de flected inwardly by the deflecting surface of the nose 1-8 into the path of the bobbincarrier. shoulder la. The spreading of the loop is mainly in a rearward direction by the edge 6*; there being substantially no spreading in a radially outward direction and the spreading in a radially inward direction by the deflecting surface of the nose 18" being of comparatively small eX- tent. When the hook has advanced to the cast-off position, which is at an early point in its path, the form and position of the beak facilitate the early cast-off because the movement of the loop from the base to the body of the beak is slightly inward or to Ward the center and is accompanied by the rapid lessening of the yvidth from the base to. the point.
"To insure the early release of the threadloop from the interlocking connection between the hoolemember and the threadcase, the hook-ring is cut away on one side so as to reduce the length of the raceway 10 to alittle more than a semi-circumference, whereby the confining shoulder 15 is caused to emerge from such raceway a considerable time before the hook-member completes its loop-casting rotation. In order to prevent the lateral displacement of the thread-case when the bearing between the hook-member an'd thread-case is the shortest, owing to the interruption of the raceway 10 and the thread-case tongue, such raceway and tongue are formed of ?..-shape so that the lip 13 has a bearing in the hookring upon both faces.
It has been customary heretofore to provide a stationary thread-case with a simple peripheral bearing rib, lying in a single plane and to provide a cupped hook-mem-. her .with an internal annular groove facing toward its axis to receive such bearing rib. With ,the employment of such construction it was impracticable to sufiiciently reduce the length of the bearing between the sta tionary and movable parts to provide-fer both the early cast-elf and release of the needle-thread loop withoutrelative dis placement of the parts. By the present construction the lengths of the interrupted portions of the hook-ring and thread-case may aggregate substantially a semi-circumference while'the aggregate lengths of bearsurface uponaopposite sides of the lip 13 exceed a complete circumference, thus insuring an adequate bearing between the thread-case and hook-ring in all positions of the latter.
It has been customary heretofore in the construction of a loop-taker having a tongue-andgroove connection between the hook-ring and thread-case to form a part of the raceway for confining such members in axial relation upon a removable section of one or the other of such members. According to the present improvement, the raceway 10 is made of smaller diameter than the beak of the hook-member and its shank, and in the practical construction of the hook is adapted to be formed by the same cutting tool which cuts the axial cavity to admit the thread-case, the raceway groove being concentric with the hook-ring and facing for wardly, as represented. particularly in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. This method of construction insures absolute accuracy in the position of the groove and wholly obviates the accurate fitting of one of the circular walls thereof upon a separate section of the hook-ring or the bobbin-case holder and consequently involves a very great saving in the cost of manufacture. It will be observed that the flat cover-plate 18 is of such form as to be readily stamped out of sheet metal and to require no fitting whatever to enable it to perform its function, which is merely to close the racewa and securely confine the bearing tongue tierein.
To secure the best results in the loop-cast ing operation, it has been found desirable to lead the lower thread from substantially the front face of the bobbin-case and as dircctly possible to the work. According to the present invention, a transverse tongue 4 gardless of defects in the thread or other conditions and provides for uniformity in the delivery of the bobhin'thread in the stitch-forming operation.
