SEWING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,187, dated February 23, 1904.

To wlZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, RUSSEL'G. WOODWARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVaukegan, in the county of Lake, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machines, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
My invention relates to certain improvements in sewing-machines, and has for its principal object to construct a machine capable of forming both straightaway and Zigzag or overedge stitches in which the character of stitch may be changed automatically.
A further object is to so construct and arrange the mechanism for changing the character of the stitch as to render it in great measure self-adjusting, so that any premature movement of that portion of the stitch-form+ ing mechanism adjusted may be prevented, the movement at either change being so governed by the mechanism as to at all times pro-. duce a perfect stitch at the changing-point.
Further objects of the invention are to so construct the apparatus that the change of stitch may be made by the operator by a single movement, to provide for a positive operation of the parts, and for the adjustment of the various parts of the mechanism andthe renewal of those portions subjected to the greatest wear.
The invention consists, primarily, of asewing-machine adapted for both zigzag and straightaway sewing, with means whereby either form of stitch-forming mechanism may be thrown into and out of action without stopping or retarding the action of the stitch-forming mechanism.
Further, the invention consists in various combinations and arrangements of parts and matters, as hereinafter described and referred to in the appended claims.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- 7 Figure 1' is an elevation of a sewing-machine constructed in accordance with my idvention. posite or rear side of the machine. Fig. 3 is Fig. 2 is a similar view of the op.
In the drawings, A represents the base of the machine, from which rises an arm a, carrying at its head a the presser-foot bar I) and its lifter Z2, and at its rear end carrying the main shaft B, on which is a belt-wheel B, the machine being of the well-known Union Special type and the parts just referred to, as well as the needle-lever C, journaled on the stud 0, operated by the eccentric c on the main shaft to give vertical reciprocating movement to the needle-bar D and the link connection d between the forward end of the needle-lever and the needle-bar stud, being all of a construction usual in Union Special machines.
E represents the cloth-plate, under which are the looper and feed mechanisms usually existent in machines of this type and all operated from the main shaft B in the usual manner.
On the shaft B is secured a pinion F, the teeth of which intermesh with those of a gearwheel F, mounted so as to turn freely on a stud-shaft f, secured in the arm a. The outer end of the shaft is provided with an enlarged circular head f, forming a guide and support for an eccentric or cam f secured to and rotating with the gear-wheel F. The eccentricf rotates between and in working contact with the two arms g g" of a frame G, hung on a pivot-stud g3, carried by the arm a, the movements of the eccentric being transmitted to said arms and eflecting an oscillating movement thereof. The two arms are connected by a cross-bar h, and those portions of said arms with which the eccentric comes into contact are provided with hardened plates h, which may be renewed when worn.
To the frame G is secured by screws z' a ribbed segment I, the center of which is at times slightly eccentric to the center of a pivotpin 1', carried by the lower end of an arm J, depending from and rigidly secured to a rockshaft J.
K represents a two-part bar or link extending from the pivot-pin j to a point beyond the ribbed segment and having a portion K, provided with two small antifriction-rollers Z, situated one on each side of and in contact with the segment. The portion K of the bar is narrower than the portion K and is guided within a slot in the latter, so as to permit of the lengthening or shortening of said arm, the two parts being locked in any desired position to which they may be adjusted by a screw 70.
M represents brackets fixed to the base of the machine and supporting a short rock-shaft N, to which is secured by set-screws n a lever or arm N, the free end of which passes through a guiding-slot n, formed in a standard 0 at the opposite side of the machine, said arm N being connected by alink 0 to an ear 0 on the arm K. The arm N is moved within the slot n, with the rock-shaft N as a center, and at each extreme of movement is caught and lightly held by a spring 10, secured at its center to the standard and having its free ends slightly bent, so as to engageand press with some little force against the side of the arm. The upper and lower limits of movement of the arm N are governed by adjustable stops P, secured to the standard O by screws 10 passing through vertically-elongated openings in the stops P.
Guided in an opening in the standard 0 and in a similar opening in a standard 0 is a slide Q, provided at about its center with a pivotpin r, on which is fulcrumed a lever R, the movement of which effects the subsequent adjustment of the machine for the formation of the stitch desired. The outer end of said lever R is connected by a suitable rod r or otherwise to a pedal-lever (not shown)within'con veient reach of the operator, the pedal when depressed moving the lever from the position shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 4, but
normally being held up by a suitable spring,
so that the lever is maintained in the position shown in Fig. 3, this being the position of the parts when the machine is forming a straightaway stitch.
The upper face of the lever R is curved, as shown, and such curved face is always partly under the eccentric and partly under one or other of the arms 9 g, but at all times out of contact therewith. The curved faces terminate in abrupt vertical shoulders s s, which may be moved into thepath of travel of the arms 9 g by the movement of lever R on its pivot, the wearing-faces of the shoulders being in the form of hardened metallic blocks 8 provided with slotted openings for the passage of securing-screws s to permit of their adjustment or for renewal when worn. The limits of movement of the operating-lever are governed by stop-blocks t, adjustably secured to the slide Q, so that they may be moved vertically, if it be desired to alter the throw of the lever. The end of the slide Q, is connected by a link t to an arm T, secured to the shaft N, any movement of the slide being thus transmitted to the shaft and through the latter to the link K through the arm N and the connecting-link 0.
The rock-shaft J, previously referred to, is mounted in suitable bearings on the arm a, and near its forward end is connected by an arm a and link a to an arm 20 secured to or formed integral with a needle-bar-guiding frame U, the latter being pivoted at c to lugs '0 at the rear of the head a and extending around to the front of the frame, at which point it is provided with suitable guides V for the reception of the needle-bar D.
The operation of the machine is as follows: When the various portions of the mechanism assume the position shown in Fig. 3, the rotation of the eccentric f 2 will oscillate the frame G and segment I; but as the link K has its central line coincident with the center of the pivot-point of the frame Gr no movement of the rock-shaft J will result, and the needlebar-guiding frame will remain in a stationary position, the machine forming a straight row of stitches, as shown at K, Fig. 10. When it is desired to change the stitch to Zigzag or overedge, the operator depresses the operating-lever R to the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the immediate result of which is to bring the shoulder 3 into line with the lower endof arm 9, the latter coming into contact with said shoulder and forcing the lever R and its carrying-slide Q toward the'front of the machine. This movement is transmitted by the link If, arm T, rock-shaft N, arm N, and link 0 to the link K, drawing the latter down to the position shown in Fig. 4, its rollers Z bearing on either side of the segment. As the segment continues to oscillate its movements are now transmitted through link K, rock-shaft J, and the intervening mechanism to the needlebar-carryin'g frame U, giving to the latter an oscillating or lateral movement across the path of the direct line of stitches, so that alternate stitches will be formed in the fabric and at the edges thereof, as shown at Y in Fig. 10. The various movements are so timed that the needle-bar will be held at one reciprocation in line with the edge of the fabric and at the next in line with the straight stitches. When it is desired to reassume straight stitching, the operator removes his foot from the pedal and the lever R reassumes the position shown in Fig. 3, the arm 9 of the frame G coming then into contact with the shoulder s and causing a movement of the lever R and the slide Q,
to which it is attached, the direction of the standard 0. This movement results in the rocking of the shaft N through the link 25' and arm T and raises the link and link K to the position shown in Fig. 3, the outer end of said link K being moved over the center of the pivot-point of the frame Gr, so that no movement of the rock-shaft J will result from any oscillation of the frame, and the needlebar will be held in position for the formation of straightaway stitches. The various movements of the machine are so timed that the arms or jaws of the frame G cannot actuate the slide Q, and so move the link K to operative or inoperative position until the needle is above the goods being stitched.
Referring now. to Fig. 10, the needle-thread w is shaded and the looper-thread y is in outline for the sake of clearness, the stitch formed being of the usual character when the loops are formed in a continuous line, as at X, and arranged for the overedge effect, as shown at Y, alternate stitches continuing in the same line as the straight-away stitches and the intermediate loops being formed close to the edges of the leather or fabric, so that when i the two layers are opened the edges at the portion Y will abut and form a smooth surface.
In the modified construction illustrated in Fig. 7 the construction of the link K is somewhat more simple than that shown in Fig. 5,
' and the standard 0 is also of less complicated construction. A single autifriction-roller Z is here employed, and the segment I, on which it travels, has the ribs 1, between which the roller I travels.
The machine described is useful for a variety of purposes and maybe employed on any work in which it may be desired to change the character of the stitch, as herein set forth. It is i found of special value in sewing together the counter and quarter-sections of shoes where the counter edges may be connected by a straight, but the quarter-sections being'arranged to abut must be united by a cross or overedge stitch. Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I 1.
