Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighting device for a sewing machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a lighting device which comprises two rod-shaped luminous elements which are arranged on the side of the needle bar or presser foot bar.
  • two rod-shaped luminous elements which are arranged on the side of the needle bar or presser foot bar.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device which, on the one hand, permits shadow-free illumination of the working area, in particular the puncture area, of the needle and does not pose a danger to the seamstress.
  • tubular, curved lamp which surrounds the needle and the presser foot rod at least in an angular range of 180 °
  • a cold light cathode fluorescent lamp (CFL lamp) gives a bright, pleasant light and only causes an almost unmeasurable heat radiation. This makes it possible to attach the lamp very close to the machine housing and also to guide the lamp in an arc of up to approximately 360 ° around the needle and presser foot.
  • Plastic reflectors with a reflective coating can be used as reflectors. Their manufacture and assembly are very inexpensive.
  • Figure 1 shows the outline of a sewing machine 1 with a forearm 3, which receives the hook system (not shown), the top of which forms the work surface 5.
  • the drives and guides for the needle bar 9 with the needle 11 and the presser foot rod 13, which carries the presser foot 15, are accommodated.
  • the drives and guides are not shown since they are sufficiently known from the prior art and their structure has no influence on the lighting device.
  • the lower region of the head 7 of the machine 1 is shown cut open in FIGS. 1 and 2 in order to make the details of the lighting device 17 visible. The latter can, if it is not embedded in the head 7, also be placed on the bottom thereof.
  • the lighting device 17 comprises at least one lamp or a luminous element 19 which wraps around the needle bar 9 and the presser foot bar 13 over an angular range of at least 180 °, preferably approximately 360 °.
  • the lamp 19 is tubular and preferably works on the principle of cold light cathode fluorescence. Such lamps are known and commercially available under the name CFL lamps. You find so far Use in electronic devices as backlight.
  • the lamp 19 is arranged on a lamp holder 21, which is also designed to be reflective above the lamp and can have regions 23 whose position is adjustable.
  • the two ends 25 of the tubular lamp 19 are provided with plug connections which are arranged perpendicular to the extension of the lamp 19 and form the electrical connection and can also be used for fastening to the lamp holder 21.
  • the lamp 19 can thus be inserted into the lamp holder 21 in a simple, tool-free manner.
  • the lamp holder 21 comprises corresponding plug receptacles (not shown) which are connected to a power source in the sewing machine 1.
  • the ends 25 of the lamp 19 can also be provided with connecting lines which are connected to the power source via known means.
  • the lamp 19 preferably has a shape adapted to the contour of the head 7 of the sewing machine 1; it is therefore usually rectangular in shape, the two ends 25 of the lamp 19 being just so far apart that the distance is sufficient when the lamp 19 is inserted or replaced, so that the presser foot rod 13 and the needle rod 9 can be passed through.
  • the adjustable areas 23 can be articulated on the lamp holder 21 in order to illuminate certain parts of the work surface 5 to a greater or lesser extent.
  • the pivotable areas 23 on the lamp holder 21 are connected by means of film or conventional hinges.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 show a possible embodiment of a hinge 25 with which the pivotable areas 23 and the fixed areas 21 are connected to one another.
  • a cylindrical jacket-shaped section 27 is molded onto the ends of the movable, pivotable areas 23, which receives a cylindrical jacket-shaped section 29, which is fastened to the fixed area 21.
  • the two joined cylindrical shell-shaped parts 27 and 29 form a pivot bearing for the pivotable area 23.
  • a tab-shaped or tab-shaped handle part 31 can be formed on the pivotable area 23.
  • the entire lamp holder 21 can also be connected to the head 7 of the sewing machine 1 in an articulated manner and by means of appropriate adjusting means, e.g. an adjusting screw, the position of the lamp 19 with respect to the work surface 5 can be adjusted or adjusted.
  • appropriate adjusting means e.g. an adjusting screw
