Definitions

  • Actua'ting mechanism is provided for simultaneously oscillating both the loop taker and the supporting arm so as to impart an epitrochoidal path of motion to the loop seizing beak and to the bobbin thread guiding means on the loop taker.
  • a braking device for preventing overspinning of the bobbin is relieved at stitch setting by the tension of the bobbin thread.
  • This invention relates to sewing machines and more particularly to novel and advantageous instrumentalities for forming lock stitches.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a novel loop taker for a lock stitch sewing machine which, in response to reciprocatory actuation in simple harmonic motion, imparts to the needle loop seizing beak a curvilinear motion which is particularly advantageous in that it effects concatenation of the sewing threads very early during each stitch forming cycle leaving ample time for the take-up action necessary to set stitches into a work fabric.
  • It is also an object of this invention to provide a loop taker of the above character is which the bobbin thread issues from a guide means on a bottom casewhich is arranged to partake of an epitrochoidal path of motion differing from that of the loop seizing beak and by which difference in paths of motion an advantageous control of the bobbin thread is attained during stitch formation.

  • a depending link 36 pivotally connected, in turn, to a needle bar 37 of rectangular cross sectional shape endwise slidable in a vertical slot 38 formed in the head 17.
  • a needle clamp 39 on the needle bar serves to secure a conventional needle therein.
  • a block 41 secured by screws 42 to the head 17 is formed with a gib 43 which overlies the slot 38 to constrain the needle bar in the slot 38.
  • the block 41 also carries a needle thread tensioning device 44 and a bracket 45 on which is carried a thread guide 46 and alight thread tensioning device 47.
  • the needle thread take up is provided by a take up lever 50 fulcrumed on a shouldered screw 51 which passes through a clearance slot 52 in the bell crank lever 30.

  • the feed dog 64 is opposed above the throat plate 61 by a conventional presser foot 65 secured on an endwise shiftable spring biased presser bar 66 carried in the sewing head 17.
  • the loop taker of this invention takes the form of a circularly moving shuttle indicated generally at 70.
  • the shuttle 70 is journaled for turning movement in an upwardly open counterbore 71 formed in an oscillating arm 72 fulcrumed on a shouldered screw 73 threaded beneath the bed plate 11.
  • a shuttle driver 74 is carried within the counterbore 71 beneath the shuttle and is fast on a shaft 75 journaled in a bore 76 concentric with the counterbore 71 and through the oscillating arm 72. Beneath the oscillating arm 72 a pinion 77 is secured as by a set screw 78 to the shuttle driver shaft 75.
  • a plate 80 Carried beneath the oscillating arm 72 is a plate 80 formed with an arcuate gear segment 81 arranged in mesh with the pinion 77.
  • the plate re mains stationary relatively to the sewing machine frame being secured in position by the fulcrum screw 73 for the oscillatory lever 72 and also by a clamp screw 82 threaded beneath the bed plate 11 and passing through a slot 83 in the plate 80.
  • the camp screw 82 By loosening the camp screw 82 the position of the plate 80 may be adjusted to effect adjustment of the turning of the shuttle relatively to the reciprocation of the needle, for optimum loop taking effectiveness.
  • Actuation of the loop taker is accomplished from oscillatory movement of the bell crank 30 in response to the eccentric 21 by a roller carried by the depending bell crank arm 33, the roller 90 is embraced by inturned ears 91 formed on a lever 92 fulcrurned on the standard 15 by means of a shouldered screw 93.

  • the slide plate 98 is constrained in a slot 99 beneath the bed plate by a gib 100 and is formed with a second struck down ear 101 to which is pivotally connected by a screw 102 a link 103 which is pivoted on a screw 104 beneath the oscillatory arm 72.
  • the shuttle 70 comprises an upwardly open cylindrical basket with a bottom wall from the center of which basket rises a stud 112.
  • a stud 112 Formed about slightly more than half the periphery of the basket 110 is an arcuate bearing rib 113 which is journaled snugly in the counterbore 71 of the supporting arm 72 and which is formed at one extremity with a loop seizing beak 114.
  • the cylindrical basket 110 is offset slightly relatively to the center of curvature of the annular bearing rib 113 so that the cylindrical basket 110 will similarly be slightly eccentric to the axis of the shaft 75.
  • the counterbore 71 extends to the free extremity of the supporting arm 72 providing an opening 115 in passage through which the loop seizing beak 114 may seize a needle thread loop.
  • a gib 116 secured by screws 117 over the supporting arm overlies the shuttle bearing rib 113 to constrain the shuttle therein.
  • the shuttle driver 74 is formed with an arcuate rib 120 which extends between the extremities of the shuttle bearing rib 113 thus to impart oscillatory motion to the shuttle about its central axis as the pinion 77 is turned in mesh with the gear 81.
  • the shuttle in addition, is carried bodily by the supporting arm 72 for oscillatory motion about the supporting arm fulcrum 73.
  • the resulting motion of any point on the shuttle is epitrochoidal.
  • the path of motion of the loop seizing beak 114 of the shuttle since it is disposed at a larger radius than the pinion 77 will partake of a prolate epitrochoidal path as illustrated by the dashed line A in FIG. 9.
  • An advantage of this novel loop taker motion resides in the ease and speed with which needle thread loops are seized, manipulated completely about the shuttle, and shed from the shuttle.
  • Indicated at in FIG. 9 is the loop seizing point along the path of motion of the loop seizing beak, and indicated at 126 is the point along the path of motion of the beak at which the needle thread loop will have been carried completely about the shuttle. Beyond the point 126, the shuttle beak will no longer influence the needle thread loop and the take up will assume its role of drawing up the thread. Moreover, the take up will not be required to draw the shed needle thread loop about a shuttle as in shuttle constructions which turn about a fixed axis since the shuttle basket 110 will continue movement toward the right as illustrated in FIG. 9 and out of the needle thread loop.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the shuttle with the beak positioned substantially at needle thread loop seizure corresponding to the point 125 in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the shuttle with the beak 114 positioned substantially at the needle thread shedding point 126 as illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the shuttle at the extreme position of motion with the beak corresponding to a point 127 in FIG. 9.
  • FIGS. 5 and 8 best illustrate the bobbin 130 and the provision for controlling the bobbin thread tension.
  • the bobbin 130 comprises a plain bottom flange 131 and a central hub 132 formed with a blind bore 133 accommodating the stud 112 within the shuttle basket 110.
  • a top flange 134 of the bobbin is formed with an annular recess 135 of which the inner diameter is undercut as at 136 to provide a fingernail grip for removing and replacing the bobbin in the basket.
  • the shuttle basket 110 is formed with a thread slot 140 leading from the upper edge of the basket to a thread eyelet 141 near the bottom wall 111 of the shuttle. Above the eyelet 141 the shuttle basket is formed with a recess 142 from which a thread guiding groove 143 extends to the upper edge of the basket 110. Pivoted on a pin 144 on the side of the shuttle basket is a bobbin brake lever 145 of which a lower arm 146 depends into a slot in the shuttle base in position contiguous to the rim of the bottom flange 131 of the bobbin.
  • An upper arm 147 of the brake lever underlies the thread guiding groove 143 and is further provided with a lateral finger 148 across which the bobbin thread is directed between the eyelet 141 to the thread guiding groove 143.
  • a leaf spring Secured by a screw 149 to the exterior of the shuttle basket 110 is a leaf spring of which an upper arm 150 extends across the upper arm 147 of the brake lever and across the thread slot 140, and a lower arm 151 extends opposite the lower arm 146 of the brake lever.
  • the action of the spring arm 151 braces the brake lever arm 146 against the bottom bobbin flange to deter overspinning of the bobbin.
  • the bobbin thread in passing between the upper arm 147 and the spring arm 159 will be subjected to a tensioning friction.
  • the bobbin thread When, however, the bobbin thread is drawn taut diametrically across the bobbin from the thread guiding groove 143 as in the extreme position of the shuttle as illustrated in FIG. 7, the bobbin thread will apply a counterclockwise turning movement to the brake lever 145 as viewed in FIG. 8 and release both the bobbin thread tension and braking influence on'the bobbin.
  • Such'bobbin'thread tension release occurs automatically after each stitch has been set and provides a limit on the stitch setting tension applied to the bobbin thread.
  • an increment of bobbin thread equal to that used in forming the preceding stitch may be withdrawn from the bobbin free of influence of the bobbin thread tensioning means, and moreover, without adversely influencing the preceding set stitch.
  • the shuttle 70 is journaled in a pivotally mounted supporting arm 72 and the pinion 77 associated with the shuttle meshes with an arcuate gear segment 81 giving rise to epitrochoidal paths of motion of the loop seizing beak 114 and the bobbin thread guiding groove 143
  • the shuttle supportingarm 72 may be made slidable on a straight track and the gear segment 81 may correspondingly take the form of a straight rack in which case the paths of motion of the loop seizing beak 114 and the bobbin thread guiding groove will be trochoidal.
  • the loop taker of this invention as represented by the selected embodiment described above provides for the formation of lock stitches by a novel loop taker which may be actuated from a reciprocatory element moving in a relative short stroke.
  • the movement imparted to the shuttle in a novel epitrochoidal path provides for rapid thread concatentation with ample time for thread take up action in stitch setting.
  • the epitrochoidal path of motion of the shuttle also provides for an advantageously controlled slackness in the bobbin thread during thread concatenation with the bobbin thread drawn taut for stitch setting and thereafter automatically released from tension as a fresh increment of bobbin thread is drawn from the bobbin.
