PRESSER FOOT FOR DECORATIVE STITCHING FOR SEWING MACHINES Filed July 10, 1958 IN VEN TOR. flit RICH J'C'fiEA/kE/VQ-fi United States PRESSER roor FOR DECORATIVE STITCHING FOR SEWING MACHINES Emericll 'Schenkengel, Kaiserslautern, Pfalz, Germany, assignor to G. M. Pfalf A.-G.,. Kaiser-slautern, Pfalz, Germany Filed July 10, 1958, Ser. No. 747,755
Claims priority, application Germany July 16, 1957 3 Claims. (Cl. 112-435) length of the sole adapted to guide cords, ribbons or the.
like fed into the entrance end of the foot during the entire sewing operation. The grooved portion in the sole which follows the stitching aperture in the foot provides for guidance of the sewed parts and prevents primarily that the material being sewn is pressed together too much or is drawn by the needle through the stitching aperture.
It is an object of the invention to provide a presser foot which is adapted for sewing cords as well as ribbons or bands to a base of material or cord to a ribbon or band while the cord as well as the ribbon or band is correctly guided and the raising of the material and of the foot is avoided.
that cords and ribbons can be sewed Von simultanously and it is possible by way of the slots at the entrance end of the foot to feed in several cords in parallel alignment into one groove.
It is another object of the invention to avoid raising of the material through the stitching aperture.
In accordance with the invention the separating Wall between the grooves is extended into the stitching aperture at both ends thereof. This measure also affords the advantage of correspondingly decreasing the interruption in the separating wall of the grooves, thereby obtaining improved guidance.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following specification with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating one embodiment and in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the presser foot for decorative stitches secured to the presser bar;
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the presser bar, and
Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view taken along line Ill-III in Fig. 2.
The presser foot 1 has a shaft portion 2 which is secured in a-known manner to the presser bar. Two
It should be noted with particular reference to Fig. 3 that the prongs 9 and 11, but especially prong 9, should extend with their upper edges slightly above the upper surface of the presser foot. In this manner any cords being fed into grooves 3 and 4 are safely guided into the slots 6 which precede the grooves, thus keeping the cords apart toprevent tangling. Moreover, sufficient space is left below the prongs to permit introducing material onto which patterns with cords have already been sewn, and which are to be provided with additional ornamentation, especially of the type including cording.
A guide slot 12 is provided laterally of the presser foot to facilitate the introduction of the upper thread.
It is obvious that other embodiments of the invention are readily possible without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as a presser foot having a different number of grooves or a different number of slots and applicant does not desire to be limited to the embodiment illustrated but what it is desired to protect by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
