Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device adapted to enable or disable a piercer in an embroidery machine, quilting machine or the like, provided with a jointed coupling for the piercer.
  • the major drawbacks in the known embroidery machines are substantially the long periods of time required for enabling a portion of the piercers and for disabling another portion, as well as the non disregardable precision loss due just to the frequent operations required to enable and disable the piercers.
  • a first type of known method for locking a piercer on to the bar which drives said piercer during the piercing stroke provides for a piercer back exten­sion, having a hollow circular seat, to be inserted on a corresponding pin fastened to said bar.
  • a small positioning spring is engaged in a seat of the piercer body and is hooked to a clamping means which keeps it in said position, whereby the piercer is in turn locked to the drive bar.
  • the plurality of piercers may be each individually disassembled or assembled in that each one of them has a pin and a small positioning spring associated therewith.
  • the enabling and disabling operations are extremely time consuming both because of the high number of piercers and because, before the embroidery operations can be resumed, adjusting operations of each individual piercer are required.
  • This type of piercer which is known as “automa­tic piercer" has a further drawback due to a lack of stability of the working position thereof, which moreover is fixed and does not allow the piercer to be moved in order to change the stroke length thereof relative to the fabric.
  • a further drawback stems for the fact that the plurality of the piercers taken off the embroidery machine are first sharpened and stored away in suitable containers wherein they are continuously in contact with each other. Moreover, the frequent replacements affect the spring constant of the positioning spring whereby said spring will definitely not be able to ensure a correct positioning of the piercer with time. As it should be apparent the above drawback jopardizes the quality of the embroidery performed.
  • a second type of known clamping arrangement between a piercer and the drive bar thereof provides for a threaded rear part of the piercers which can be threadably coupled to the bar.
  • the entire drive bar may be replaced with a new one having the required piercing ratio.
  • a main object of this invention is to provide a device of the subject type, which requires neither disassembling a piercer nor replacing the entire drive bar, when a piercer has to be enabled and disabled.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a device allowing the piercer to be rapidly brought from an enabled operating position to a disabled operating position and viceversa, substantially reduc­ing the time required for preparing a new ratio of pierced embroidery.
  • a further remarkable object of this invention is to provide a piercer having associated therewith suitable means for clamping said piercer in the operat­ing positions mentioned above, said means ensuring that both said positions are precisely defined and lasting in time.
  • the device includes a first support member 10 extending transverse and at right angles relative to a bar 12 carrying piercers 13 and provided with an extension 14 abutting against the top face of bar 12 and being fastened thereto by means of a screw 16 or any other suitable means.
  • Bar 12 which is substantially L-shaped, is supported by the upper end of a bracket 18, and it is fastened to said end by means of a screw 20 or other suitable means.
  • brackets 18 In an embroidery machine there is usually provided a plurality of brackets 18, whose number is increasingly higher as the number of piercer carrier bars or banks 12 increases.
  • brackets 18 are fastened to, and supported by, shafts 22 slidably received within guides (not shown) of the embroidery machine.
  • the device according to the invention includes as well as a second substantially L-shaped support member 24, having a piercer 13 fastened to a side 26 thereof, while second side 28 of the support member is engaged against one of the side faces of first support member 10, as it will be explained in the following.
  • Clamping of piercer 13 to side 26 of second support member 24 is performed through a threaded engagement of shank 30 of piercer 13 within a corre­sponding threaded opening of side 26, and final locking means of a locknut 32.
  • a connecting shaft 34 is inserted through first support member 10 and through side 28 of second support member 24. Between enlarged head 36 of shaft 34 and support member 10 there is inserted a plurality of Belleville springs 38, whose function is to ensure that engagement between side 28 of second support member 24 and first support member 10 takes place with a high and predetermined pressure Level.
  • a pin 39 is applied through the free end of shaft 34 and it engages in turn within a recess 41 of side 28 of second support member 24 just under the bias of Belleville springs 38.
  • first support member 10 and of side 28 of second support member 24 are not planar but they are suitably provided with projections and recesses adapted to gene­rate a coupling type connection between said members, under the action of Belleville springs 38.
  • said coupling type connection which will be described in the following, provides only two operating positions.
  • a first operating position of piercer 13 is the one shown in Figure 1, wherein support bar 12 thereof reciprocated from the position shown in full lines to the position shown in broken lines, and viceversa, whereby the piercer moves in the same way between the two positions shown in full lines and in broken lines respectively, piercing the fabric shown schematically and indicated by reference T.
  • piercer 13 is shown therein in the idle position thereof, while the piercer adjacent thereto is shown in the working position.
  • piercer 13 lies at an angle of substantially 90° relative to the working position, and it points downwards.
  • the idle position is determined taking into account minimum disturbance for other moving members, and ease in performing the uncoupling and coupling operations.
  • recesses 40 are in the number of three lying 120° apart from each other, one of them in addition being oriented horizontally.
  • Recesses 42 as well lie 120° apart from each other, and one of them in particular is oriented vertically.
  • the remaining ones as well are spaced 90° apart, just to obtain the 90° degree displacement from the enabled position to the disabled position of piercer 13.
  • piercer 13 When projections 44 are received within recesses 40, piercer 13 lies in the working or enabled position, while if projections 44 are received within recesses 42, piercer 13 lies in the idle or disabled position.
  • This particular feature is emphasized in the details shown in an enlarged scale on Figure 3, for the upper piercer of said figure and for the lower one of the same figure, respectively.
  • springs 38 will be such as to securely hold piercer 13 in the two above positions and in particular, concerning the working position, this will always be the correct one, since the piercer has not been subject severelyed to any displacement relative to support member 24.
  • a further advantageous aspect of the device of the invention derives from the fact that the displa­cement operation the operator has to perform to disable or to enable the piercer 13 is in no way complicated, as a matter of fact it is extremely simple in that he will be sure the piercer is in its correct position when feeling that projections 44 have snapped into recesses 40 and 42, without being required to pay any attention to the actual piercer position.
  • Recesses 42 have been provided with a shallower depth in order to make easier for projections 44 to snap therein, and in order to require a lower force to bring the piercer to the working position. In fact, when the piercer is in an idle or disabled position, he is subjected to no other forces except the force of inertia generated upon said piercer by the displacement of bar 12.
  • inlet edges 43 of reces­ses 40 and 42 are chamfered, in order not to cause excessive friction forces and corresponding parts wear.
  • projections 44 have a contoured cross section.
  • a coupling arrangement may be envisaged, which does not rely upon projections and recesses as locking members, but upon a friction coupling, a clutch coupling or the like, through which the same purpose can be met.
  • coupling means may be provided which include a plurality of suitably shaped matingly engageable shapes, spaced along outer surface 45, 46 of members 10 and 24.
