Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved industrial-use sewing machine adapted to perform two sequential seams, and to vary either leftwardly or rightwardly the stitch felling direction.
  • This seaming operation usually consists of coupling to one another by a first seam, two parts of a cloth article to be seamed, and then bending the thus seamed parts, under either one or the other of the two portions of the cloth article extending from the two seamed parts of borders.
  • Prior industrial sewing machines for performing the above mentioned operations conventionally operate in two subsequent operating steps, i.e. by using two different sewing machines, or by using a single sewing machine which, however, requires that several parts of the machine be replaced, depending on a leftwardly or rightwardly felling operation to be performed, or depending on the seamed cloth article parts seamed by the first seaming operation be bent under either one or the other of the two portions of the cloth article seamed at the two mentioned parts of borders.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawback, by providing an improved industrial use sewing machine which is specifically designed for performing two immediately sequential seams, with the additional capability of changing the felling direction, either rightwardly or leftwardly, without requiring any replacing or fitting operations.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a sewing machine which, since it does not require any fitting operations for performing felling seaming operation, independently from the direction of the latter, provides a very high production yield, while reducing to a minimum the operation cost.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a sewing machine which is very safe and reliable in operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a sewing machine providing very accurate sequential seams, independently from the felling operation direction.
  • an improved industrial-use sewing machine adapted to perform two sequential seams, and to vary either leftwardly or rightwardly the stitch felling direction
  • said sewing machine comprises two sewing units, respectively a horizontal needle bar sewing unit and a vertical needle bar sewing unit, sequentially arranged along a cloth article feeding direction, along said cloth article feeding direction being moreover provided, under a cloth article bearing panel, a first guide defining a first passage for the two parts or borders of the cloth article to be seamed, which parts can be mutually arranged in a facing relationship on a substantially vertical plane, near the horizontal needle bar, and a second guide, arranged between said horizontal needle bar sewing unit and said vertical needle bar sewing unit, said second guide defining a second passage for the two parts of said cloth article, seamed by said horizontal needle bar sewing unit, and being provided moreover with means for bending said two seamed cloth article parts, in a direction transversal
  • the sewing machine according to the present invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises two sewing units, respectively a horizontal needle bar sewing unit 2 and a vertical needle bar central sewing unit 3, which are sequentially arranged, or cascade arranged, along the cloth article to be seamed feeding direction 4.
  • the sewing units 2 and 3 can comprise two sewing units, respectively of a horizontal needle bar type and a vertical needle bar type, of conventional type, for example of the type comprising a main shaft 5, rotatively driven about its rotary axis, for example by an electric motor which, through a suitable transmission, including, for example, driving belts 6 and 7, drives two driven shafts 8 and 9 which, in turn, by known types of linkage and cam systems, which have been only partially shown in the figures of the accompanying drawings, will drive the horizontal needle bar 10 of the sewing unit 2 and the vertical needle bar 11 of the sewing unit 3.
  • a suitable transmission including, for example, driving belts 6 and 7, drives two driven shafts 8 and 9 which, in turn, by known types of linkage and cam systems, which have been only partially shown in the figures of the accompanying drawings, will drive the horizontal needle bar 10 of the sewing unit 2 and the vertical needle bar 11 of the sewing unit 3.
  • the two driven shafts 8 and 9 instead of being coupled to a single and same main shaft 5, can also be driven by individual electric motors, suitable synchronized with one another so as to provide a desired timing of the driving of the horizontal needle bar 10 with the vertical needle bar 11, as well as of the several component elements of the two sewing units 2 and 3, so as to progressively cause the cloth article to be seamed to advance along the cloth article feeding direction 4.
  • the sewing unit 2 is preferably arranged under a cloth article bearing panel 12, which is substantially horizontally arranged, for the two parts or borders 13a and 13b of the cloth article to be seamed to one another.
  • the bearing panel 12 is constituted by covering plates 14 and 15, having any suitable configurations, which are affixed to the bearing framework of the sewing machine.
  • the feeding of the cloth article to be seamed along the feeding direction 4 is obtained, in a per se known manner, for example by using feeding grippers, conventionally included in conventional horizontal needle bar sewing units and vertical needle bar sewing units.
  • the horizontal needle bar 10 can be provided with either one or more sewing needles 16, which are driven by the driven shaft 8, with a reciprocating translation motion along a substantially horizontal direction and transversal of the feeding direction 4.
  • the needle or needles 16 cooperate with one or more crochets, not shown in the drawings, of conventional types, in order to form the seaming stitches.
  • the sewing machine comprises moreover, near the working region of the horizontal needle bar 10, a first guide defining, in parallel to the feeding direction 4, a first passage 18 for the two parts or borders 20a and 20b of the cloth portions 13a and 13b to be seamed, which parts are arranged with a mutually facing relationship in a substantially vertical plane.
  • the first guide 17 comprises a needle plate 21, defining a bearing surface, which is substantially vertical and parallel to said feeding direction 4, for the two cloth parts or borders 20a and 20b and a foot element 22, facing the bearing plane or surface defined by the needle plate 21.
  • the needle plate 21 and the foot element 22 define therebetween a passage 18 for the two cloth parts or borders 20a and 20b.
  • the foot element 22 can swing about a vertical axis 23, which is laterally spaced from the needle plate 21, away from the needle plate 18 and against the biassing of a biassing spring 24, so as to fit the different thicknesses of the cloth parts 20a and 20b.
  • the needle plate 21 can be formed passage means for the cloth article feeding grippers, as the cloth article is seamed.
  • the covering plates 14 and 15, which define the bearing panel 12 for the cloth article to be seamed, also define the inlet of the first guide 17, which inlet substantially comprises two side walls 25a and 25b, which are progressively driven toward one another, according to the feeding direction 4, so as to greatly facilitate the introduction of the cloth parts 20a and 20b, in a substantially vertical direction, inside the passage 18.
  • the sewing machine according to the present invention comprises moreover a second guide 30, which is arranged in the machine region between the horizontal needle bar 10 and the vertical needle bar 11, along the feeding direction 4.
  • the second guide 30 defines a second passage 31 for the two cloth parts 20a and 20b, seamed to one another by the sewing unit 2, and said second guide is provided with bending means 32 for bending the two cloth parts 20a and 20b in a cross direction with respect to the mentioned feeding direction 4.
  • the following sewing unit 3 can perform a felling seaming operation of the two cloth parts 20a and 20b under either one or the other of the cloth portions 13a and 13b, depending on a rightwardly or leftwardly felling operation to be performed.
