12 Glaims.
This invention relates to needle guards, and with regard to certain more specific features to needle guards for sewing machines.
Among the several objects of the invention may be noted the provision of a needle guard which cooperates with a feed roll and the usual reciprocating needle, said needle having a known component of movement in the direction of mo tion of the feed roll, said cooperation being such that said guard moves with the roll and with the needle; the provision of a guard of the class described having a thread retainer and cooperating parts which ensure a single and proper size of thread loop adapted to be more positively caught by the known thread hook without breaking the thread or skipping stitches; the provision of apparatus of the class described which appreciably reduces both needle and thread breakage, reduces spoilage of work, and which permits the use of a finer needle on thicker and rougher goods, such as on multi-ply leather having folds therein; the provision of apparatus of this class which as a consequence of the use of finer needles effects a finer and a tighter stitch; and the provision of such apparatus which is relatively simple in structure and which may be applied to present day sewing machines. Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the elements and combinations of elements, features of construction, and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the structures hereinafter described, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawings, in which is illustrated one of various possible embodiments of the invention,
Fig. l is a side elevation of a sewing machine showing the application of the invention thereto;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line 2--2 of Fig. l, a pair of cover plates having been removed;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on line 5- of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but showing the needle removed; and,
Fig. 6 is an end view of a guard wheel per se.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
At present a feed roll is used for advancing the leather or the like in sewing machines while the needle reciprocates through the leather. As the feed roll and leather advance, the reciprocating needle, by the driving machinery, is given a sideward component of movement with the advancing roll edge so as to prevent sideward bending of the needle while passing through the leather. In combination with a structure of the above nature is used a needle guard beneath the feed roll consisting of a throat plate through which the needle passes, the throat plate having a thread retainer thereon. The throat thi ough the throat plate is required to be large enough to accommodate the sideward component motion of the needle. Below the throat plate is the needle guard portion proper which has a recess surrounding the needle on three sides besides the thread retainer. This prior construction results in sideward movement of the needle often being interfered with and consequent needle breakage.
At the same time, in this prior construction, the stationary guard has no clearance at the rearward portion for accommodating a second rearward loop of the thread which, as well as a forward loop, inevitably forms upon the retraction of the needle. As a consequence of this lack of rearward clearance, the second loop of thread is forced to the front of the needle where it is often picked up by the thread hook in normally hooking the desired loop of thread in front of the needle. The result is skipping of stitches and thread breaking as well as needle breaking.
This invention overcomes all of the above diffi culties and permits the use of a much finer needle. When a finer needle is used for a given class of work, the stitching may be made closer because of the smaller size of hole involved, and furthermore the stitching is tighter because the smaller size of hole more tightly grips the thread which passes therethrough. Tht present invention reduces the needle breakage on a given machine which operates substantially all day, from the order of three to six needles, down to one needle or less. The invention also permits the needle to ride over thick folds and the like without skip- 1 which operates parts in the head 9 for causing the needle chuck I I to reciprocate and to have a slight forward and rearward oscillating movement. The oscillating movement causes the needle I3 also to oscillate forward and backward as it 'reciprocates up and down. The forward and rearward positions of oscillation are shown in Fig. 3 by numerals I5 and I1 respectively. The purpose of these oscillations is to cause the needle to have a component of movement with the leather which is sewn as said leather moves in a direction indicated by the arrow shown in Fig. 3.
A branch from said drive also rotates a bobbin holder I9. The bobbin itself is shown at numeral 2I and a bobbin look at numeral 23. The rotary bobbin holder includes a hook 25 (see Figs. 2, 3 and 4), and directly ahead of the same a hook needle guard 21. The bobbin holder being rotary, and the hook 25 and needle hook guard 21 being mounted thereon, said hook and guard also rotate according to the arrow shown in Fig. 2.
Generally speaking, it is the function of the needle I3 to descend with a loop of thread 29 (Fig. 4). The thread is drawn from a spool 3| on the arm 3 (Fig. 1) and through a suitable tensioning device 33 and driven through the material (not shown). When the needle I3 retracts (Fig. 4) a loop 35 is effected, through which passes the hook 25, the action of the hook drawing said loop 35 to surround in a known manner the bobbin thread 31.
As the needle I3 withdraws, the thread 29 is drawn up and the bobbin thread 31 functions as an interlock in the stitch. During this operation, the needle I3 has the rearward component of movement illustrated in Fig. 3 and the leather through which the needle is reciprocating is also moved rearwardly by a feed roll 39 which moves in a counterclockwise direction (Fig. 3). An idler pressure roll 4| cooperates with the feed roll 39 to maintain the material in proper relationship with respect to the needle I3. Selective speed gears 43 driven by suitable branch from said drive 5 effect operation of the feed roll 39. The gears 43 may be selected before operation by a speed change device 45 located in a gear box 41 which is provided with a cover 49 during actual operation. The bobbin I9 is located in a box 5I which is covered with a cover 53 during operation. In Fig. 2 said covers 49 and 53 are shown removed.
The above features are in general known and it is the purpose of this invention to provide an improvement thereon. Heretofore, stationary needle guards have been used for preventing nee- .dle and thread breakage. These have not been entirely satisfactory and the present invention comprises a guard disc 55 attached within the cupped interior of said feed roll 39, the attachment being made by means of a central nut 51 on a stud which passes through a hole 59 in the disc 55. The edge of the disc 55 is bevelled as shown at numeral 6 I.
In conjunction with the disc 55 is used an improved throat plate 63 having a slot 65 therein for accommodating the projecting part 61 )f the feed roll 39. This throat plate 63 includes a throat 69 through and in which the needle I3 reciprocates and oscillates. The open portion 'II through which the throat 69 is formed lies closely to the beveled contour 6| of the plate 55 as shown at numeral I3 in Fig. 4. Directly to the rear of the needle I3 is formed on the portion II a channel shaped thread retainer 15 through which the hook 25 draws the thread after the hook 25 has entered the loop 35.
Extending downwardly from the thread retainer 15 is a lip, 11 (Fig. 5) which is just cleared by the hook needle guard 21, the upper edge of the guard 21 passing below the lower lip of the thread retainer 15. Thus any dirt which gathers at point 19 (Fig. 5) is'removed from the hook needle guard during its rotary action. Heretofore the presence of dirt in this location has often distorted the loop 35 such that an improper cooperation with the hook 25 was effected. The result was irregularity in the stitching.
It will be appreciated that the hook needle guard 21 as shown in Fig. 4, is for the purpose of preventing the needle in its downward position from moving to the right (Fig. 4) thus to avoid its being struck by the hook 25. After the needle has been withdrawn, there is no longer any necessity for the hook needle guard, which passes The operation of the device is as follows, assuming that the needle I3 is reciprocating and oscillating, and that the feed roll 39 is rotating:
The needle I3 drives down the thread 29 through the material, carrying the same through the throat plate 63 and through the throat 69 down in front of the thread retainer 15. Then the needle I 3 rises and at the same time executes a rearward component of movement with the leather which is being driven by the roll 39. As the needle rises the forward loop 35 is formed and at the same time a rearward loop 36 also naturally occurs. The bevel 6I of the disc 55 permits this rearward loop 36 to form. This is the first advantage of the invention over the prior needle guards. Prior needle guards make no provision for receiving said second loop 36 which therefore forces out too far the loop 35; or the prior guards deflect the loop 36 forwardly (to the right, Fig. 4) In either event, either irregularity of stitching, 0]: thread breaking resulted.
At this stage, there is no relative motion between the thread loop and the needle guard disc 55, because said disc is rotating with the feed roll 39 and thus is moving with the rearward component movement of the needle I3. The inner (right-hand) movable needle guard 21 on the bobbin support I9 is in the position shown on Fig. 4. Thus it will be seen that the needle I3 is prevented from being deflected laterally (to the left or right, Fig. 4). Also, the upper edge of the movable needle guard 21 being cleaned, no dirt interferes with the effectuation of the loop 35.
The next operation is for the hook 25 to catch the loop 35 and thereafter to turn the loop over the bobbin thread 31. The thread retainer 15 ensures that the loop 35 which is thereafter extended shall be properly guided as the hook draws out of the loop.
Lastly, the needle I3 withdraws through the throat 69 of the throat plate 63 to pull the extended loop 35 tightly against the bottom of the leather, retaining the bottom threads 31 as a thread. interlock.
From the above, it will be seen that not only is there effected a saving in thread breakage and needle breakage but that improved workmanship and a saving in material stitched is effected.
In view of the above, it-will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As many changes could be made in carrying out the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
