- the US 6,957,615 describes a quilting machine with a plurality of Soutacheziern that are rotated by the engine program controlled by a motor via toothed belt.
- the embroidery of sequins and the like has long been known.
- the needle, the baubles, also called sequins are fed individually from a tubular container.
- the needle pierces through a hole provided in each bauble and attaches it to the fabric.
- the decorative material is supplied in the form of a belt. That's how it shows WO 9300468 a method and apparatus for performing bead embroidery in which a beaded tape is fed and one bead is cut from the tape prior to embroidering.
- Corresponding devices for embroidering sequins or the like are also characterized by US 3,390,650 and US 5 562 057 described.
- the prior art describes a device called a sequin head, in which a first pneumatic cylinder advances a sequin belt through a channel to a position at which the sequin can be stitched with the needle of the embroidery machine via a ratchet wheel and a cam wheel coupled to the ratchet wheel.
- a second impression cylinder drives a cutting device on, with which the driven sequin can be cut off.
- the compressed air cylinders are controlled by four compressed air hoses.
- this sequin head only allows a number of revolutions of the embroidery machine of 200 revolutions per minute.
- the EP 1209 272 then describes a sequin head, which provides a single drive for actuating the feed device and the cutting device.
- this sequin head is suitable for higher embroidery machine speeds, it still requires a pneumatic adjustment cylinder to bring the sequin head from the rest position to the working position, and a control cylinder to engage the sequin head with a drive rod extending the full length of the embroidery machine bring to.
- the EP 1 561 849 a sequin head which has an intermittently driven Warzenrad for advancing the tape, a Warzenrad partially encompassing guide for the tape and a separator for separating a sequin each before picking.
- the guide is movable away from the front side of the belt and the warp wheel and has a magnet as a force element, which keeps the guide in the operation of the device in guiding position, but is ineffective at the occurrence of a predetermined reaction force, so that the guide is lifted from the warp wheel .
- This embodiment of the sequin head makes it possible to introduce the tape from the front by the guide is lifted from the worm wheel before inserting the tape. After insertion of the tape, the guide is held by the force element in the guiding position. But should the band jam during operation, the guide is lifted off the belt, which also means that the warp wheel no longer supports the belt.
- the warp wheels are arranged on a common shaft, which is coupled to a drive element which can be controlled by the embroidery machine control.
- a drive element which can be controlled by the embroidery machine control.
- Modern embroidery machines have single embroidery circuits. This makes it possible to automatically switch embroidery positions on and off depending on the type of patterns to be embroidered and the desired color.
- the EP 0 634 512 an embroidery machine, in which the embroidery tools each embroidery point to the drive means and can be disconnected.
- two or more actuators for example pneumatic cylinders, are arranged for each embroidery point.
- the EP 0 911437 shows a single embroidery circuit, in which a single pneumatic cylinder is sufficient to switch at least needle and thread guide the embroidery site at the same time.
- Sequin heads of with reference to the EP 1209 272 described type can be operated together with embroidery machines with single embroidery control so that a Rapport- and / or a color change is possible.
- a Rapport- and / or a color change is possible.
- Sequin heads of with reference to the EP 1209 272 described type can be operated together with embroidery machines with single embroidery control so that a Rapport- and / or a color change is possible.
- the corresponding embroidery points and sequin heads are switched on and off by the machine control.
- sequin heads sometimes work very slowly. Above all, they are expensive because they need at least a special control body and appropriate control lines.
- an embroidery or quilting machine of the type mentioned is characterized in that each device has an operable by the needle plunger clutch for engaging and that a return device for disengaging the device is provided.
- the machine control When the engaged device is a lace-embroidering device, the machine control causes the line to be aligned in accordance with the program's program for the lace-forming pattern. However, if the engaged device is a sequin picking device, then the program determines if and when sequins are being stitched. As long as the machine control does not trigger a feed of a sequin, the needle can stitch normally. But requires the machine control a feed, so a sequin is advanced and then hooked by the needle. During a repeat or color change, the device is disengaged again by the return device.
- the sequin embroidering apparatuses and the like, and the lace embroidering apparatuses and the like advantageously have the same attachment means and coupling means. This has the advantage that one type of device can be easily replaced by the other type. It is also possible that the machine has both lace cording and sequin embroidery devices, which has never before been the case and opens up completely new possibilities for fashion designers. So it is possible to embroider fabrics in a single stretch with both sequins and with strings and this in different colors.
- the embroidery or quilting machine is extremely flexible. It allows the execution of elaborate patterns that were previously impossible or only executed by hand. Since sequins and cords can be embroidered at relatively high speeds, the machine allows a noble equipment of fashion fabrics also for mass markets.
- FIG. 12 shows a number of sequin heads 10 arranged in a 8/4 repeat (one sequin head 10 for every other embroidery point) on a ski-knitting machine. These are easily interchangeable with screws 14 on the angular support 12 (FIG. Fig. 1, 6 and 7 ) of the machine, with guide pins 16 ( Fig. 4 ) ensure accurate placement.
- the drive of the sequin heads is controlled by the machine control drive means 15.
- the drive means 15 has a motor 17, z.Bsp.
- Stepping motor with which over the entire machine length extending shaft with gears or a toothed shaft 19 can be driven, with which the sequin heads 10 can be coupled.
- This is also controlled by the machine control and consists essentially of a pneumatic cylinder 23, the piston 25 is articulated to a lever 27 which can pivot a shift rod 29.
- the shift rod 29 extends over the entire length of the machine and has at each sequin head 10 a gripper 30 which disengages the sequin head 10 upon actuation of the return device 21.
- FIG. 1 are also the needle plunger 31 with the needles 33 can be seen. In the illustrated arrangement of the sequin heads 10 in the 8/4 repeat, every second needle 33 is thus assigned to a sequin head 10.
- the coupling 49 has a coupling wheel 51 which, after engagement with a toothed shaft 19 (FIG. Fig.1 ) and a gear 53 of the drive shaft 57 is engaged ( Fig. 7 ).
- the coupling wheel 51 is on the lever 55 ( Fig. 2 to 4 ), which is pivotable about the drive shaft 57.
- a spring 56 tends to hold the lever 55 in a position in which the coupling wheel 51 is in engagement with the toothed shaft 19.
- the coupling wheel 51 is in permanent engagement with the gear 53, which sits on the drive shaft 57.
- the lever 55 has two arms 59, 61. On the arm 59, the coupling wheel 51 is rotatably mounted and on the other arm 61 is one of the needle plunger 31 and the gripper 30 of the return device 21 (FIGS. Fig. 7 ) operable switching member 65 for switching on and off of the coupling 49th
- the use of a switching member 65 for actuating the clutch 49 is preferred.
- the switching member 65 is configured so that the lever 55 is held rigidly and not merely by the force of the spring 56 in the engaged position.
- the switching member 65 an actuating lever 67, on which a switching arm 68 is arranged.
- the actuating lever 67 is pivotable in one direction of rotation by the needle plunger 31 and in the other direction of rotation by the return device 21.
- the operating lever 67 is connected via the shaft 66 with a cam 69, which is pressed by the spring 73 against a pin 71.
- the cam 69 is rotatable between two positions, which set the closed position or the off position of the clutch 49. From one of these positions to the other, the curved path 72 rises ( Fig. 5 ) to her Middle and then falls off again. In each of these positions, the cam 69 is held by the spring 73.
- sequin head 10 and Soutachekopf 10 '( 10 and 11 ) has the same structure, which also has the advantage that the same parts can be used for both devices.
- the difference in the construction of the two devices consists essentially in the fact that the drive shaft 57 in the sequin head, the cam 37 ( Fig. 2 ) drives, with the Soutachekopf however over a transmission the Soutacherad 85 ( Figure 11 ).
- a serving as a guide for the sequin band 39 pivot lever 41 ( Fig. 2 and 4 ), which is mounted pivotably by means of a pin 43 below the cam wheel 37, has at its free end a magnet 45 which adheres to a stationary stop 44 of feromagneticianm material when the pivot lever 41 is closed after insertion of the sequin belt 39.

- the clutch 49 is actuated by the movement of the respective needle plunger 31.
- the clutch wheel 51 thus comes into engagement with the gear shaft 19.
- the motor 17 rotates the toothed shaft 19, which in turn advances a paillette 13 via the coupling wheel 51, the toothed wheel 53, the shaft 57 and the cam wheel 37.
- the reset device 21 is actuated by the machine control. This has the consequence that the piston 25 of the pneumatic cylinder 23 pivots the lever 27 ( Fig. 5 ). This in turn pivots the shift rod 29 with the grippers 30 (in Fig.1 and 7 visible) to turn off the coupling 49 of the feed device 11.
- the gripper 30 presses for this purpose on the cam 77 (FIG. Fig. 4 Thereafter, if the program has determined embroidery sites with associated sequin heads, the couplings 49 of these sequin heads are engaged by the needle plungers 31.
- the Soutacherad 87 has a central opening 89 for the passage of the embroidery needle 33 ( Fig.1 ) and at least one peripheral opening 91, 92 through which the cord 95 (FIG. 8 and 9 ) or the like is guided.
- Souta wheels are known from the introductory cited prior art.
- the various openings 91, 92 have different diameters in order to process cords of different thickness.
- the Soutacheköpfe 10 'work as follows: If the program requires the embroidery of strings, z.Bsp. through each second Soutachekopf, the clutches 49 are actuated at the corresponding embroidery sites by the needle plunger 31 and the corresponding Soutachekmü begin with the embroidery of the cords 95. Under the control of the machine control, the Soutachegan 85 aligned according to the curve of the pattern and on the other hand, the string 95 deflected on one or the other side in the individual stitches, so that the stitches are usually done alternately on one or the other side of the string, so that the needle thread 93, the cord 95 wrapped and this together with the shuttle thread 97 on the Fabric 99 ( 8 and 9 ).

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stickmaschine, insbesondere eine Schifflistickmaschine, oder Steppmaschine mit Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Schnüren oder dergleichen oder von Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Pailletten und dergleichen.The present invention relates to an embroidery machine, in particular a Schifflitickmaschine, or quilting machine with devices for embroidering cords or the like or of devices for embroidering sequins and the like.
Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Verzierungsmaterialien gibt es schon seit rund hundert Jahren. In der Fachliteratur wird dabei zwischen der so genannten Soutache-und der Perl- und Flitterstickerei unterschieden. Bei der Soutachestickerei wird schnur-oder bandförmiges Material in der gewünschten Verzierungsform auf den Stickboden aufgestickt. Bei der Perl- und Flitterstickerei geht es um das Aufsticken von kleinen Gegenständen, wie Pailletten, Perlen und dergleichen (

Die angeführten Beispiele zeigen, dass es kompliziert ist, Stick- und Steppmaschinen mit Soutachevorrichtungen auszurüsten oder diese wieder zu entfernen, wenn sie nicht mehr benötigt werden oder z.Bsp. der Wunsch besteht, Vorrichtungen zum Aufsticken von Pailletten zu montieren.The examples given show that it is complicated to equip embroidery and quilting machines with soutaching devices or to remove them again when they are no longer needed or, for example, to remove them. the desire exists to mount devices for embroidering sequins.
Auch das Aufsticken von Pailletten und dergleichen ist seit langem bekannt. So beschreibt beispielsweise die
In neueren Vorrichtungen wird das Verzierungsmaterial in Form eines Bandes zugeführt. So zeigt die
In der
Ein Nachteil vieler Paillettenköpfe, welche Pailletten in Form eines Bandes verarbeiten, besteht darin, dass die Paillettenbänder nicht leicht eingeführt werden können und dass auch die Gefahr eines Verklemmens der Paillettenbänder besteht. Um diesem Nachteil abzuhelfen, sieht die
Während der unter Bezugnahme auf die
Moderne Stickmaschinen weisen Einzelstickstellenschaltungen auf. Dies erlaubt es, je nach der Art der zu stickenden Muster und der gewünschten Farbe, automatisch Stickstellen ein- und abzuschalten. So zeigt beispielsweise die
Paillettenköpfe der unter Bezugnahme auf die
Es wurde bereits angeführt, dass es sehr zeitaufwendig ist Stickmaschinen, die mit Soutachevorrichtungen arbeiten, zum Arbeiten mit Paillettenköpfen umzurüsten. Wenn es auch möglich war, ein Muster zu sticken, wo ein erster Paillettenkopf mit rotem Faden und ein zweiter Paillettenkopf mit blauem Faden stickte, war es aber nicht möglich, nach dem Ansticken von Pailletten auf das Ansticken von Schnüren zu wechseln und umgekehrt.It has already been stated that it is very time consuming to convert embroidery machines that work with soutachevorrichtungen to work with sequin heads. Although it was possible to embroider a pattern where a first sequin head with red thread and a second sequin head with blue thread embroidered, but it was not possible to change after embroidering sequins on the embroidery of strings and vice versa.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Stick- oder Steppmaschine mit kostengünstigen Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Schnüren oder Pailletten zu schaffen, wobei aber die vorher angeführten Nachteile wenigstens teilweise vermieden werden. Es sollte möglich sein, die Maschine in kurzer Zeit zum Ansticken von Verzierungen der gewünschten Art auszurüsten. Auch sollte ein Umrüsten von einer Art zur Andern leicht möglich sein. Weiter wäre erwünscht, auch ohne Umrüsten mit verschiedenen Arten und Farben von Verzierungen gesteuert durch das Maschinenprogramm arbeiten zu können.It is an object of the present invention to provide an embroidery or quilting machine with inexpensive devices for embroidering cords or sequins, but the disadvantages mentioned above are at least partially avoided. It should be possible to equip the machine in a short time to embroider ornaments of the desired type. Also, a conversion from one kind to another should be easily possible. Furthermore, it would be desirable to be able to work without changing over with different types and colors of ornaments controlled by the machine program.
Gemäss der Erfindung ist eine Stick- oder Steppmaschine der eingangs erwähnten Gattung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jede Vorrichtung eine durch den Nadelstössel betätigbare Kupplung zum Einkuppeln aufweist und dass eine Rückstellvorrichtung zum Auskuppeln der Vorrichtung vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, an embroidery or quilting machine of the type mentioned is characterized in that each device has an operable by the needle plunger clutch for engaging and that a return device for disengaging the device is provided.
Dies hat den Vorteil, dass zur Inbetriebsetzung der jeweiligen Vorrichtung keine pneumatische Zylinder oder dergleichen benötigt werden. Die jeweilige Vorrichtung wird vielmehr durch die Inbetriebsetzung der Stickstelle in Bereitschaft versetzt. Wenn nach Inbetriebsetzung der Stickstelle der Nadelstössel nach vorn bewegt wird, wird die Kupplung betätigt, um die Antriebswelle mit einem von der Maschinensteuerung steuerbaren Antriebsorgan zu kuppeln.This has the advantage that no pneumatic cylinders or the like are needed to start up the respective device. The respective device is rather put into readiness by the commissioning of the embroidery point. When the needle bar is moved forward after the embroidery station is started, the clutch is operated to couple the drive shaft with a drive member controllable by the machine controller.
Handelt es sich bei der eingekuppelten Vorrichtung um eine Vorrichtung zum Ansticken von Schnüren, so bewirkt die Maschinensteuerung die Ausrichtung der Schnur entsprechend den Vorgaben des Programms für das mit der Schnur zu bildenden Musters. Handelt es sich aber bei der eingekuppelten Vorrichtung um eine Vorrichtung zum Ansticken von Pailletten, so bestimmt das Programm, ob und wann Pailletten angestickt werden. Solange die Maschinensteuerung keinen Vorschub einer Paillette auslöst, kann die Nadel normal sticken. Verlangt aber die Maschinensteuerung einen Vorschub, so wird eine Paillette vorgeschoben und dann von der Nadel angestickt. Bei einem Rapport- oder Farbwechsel wird durch die Rückstellvorrichtung die Vorrichtung wieder ausgekuppelt.When the engaged device is a lace-embroidering device, the machine control causes the line to be aligned in accordance with the program's program for the lace-forming pattern. However, if the engaged device is a sequin picking device, then the program determines if and when sequins are being stitched. As long as the machine control does not trigger a feed of a sequin, the needle can stitch normally. But requires the machine control a feed, so a sequin is advanced and then hooked by the needle. During a repeat or color change, the device is disengaged again by the return device.
Um miteinander austauschbar zu sein, weisen die Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Pailletten und dergleichen und die Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Schnüren und dergleichen vorteilhaft die gleichen Befestigungsmittel und Kupplungsmittel auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, das eine Art von Vorrichtung leicht durch die andere Art ersetzt werden kann. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Maschine sowohl Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Schnüren als auch Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Pailletten aufweist, was bisher nie der Fall war und dem Modedesigner völlig neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. So ist es möglich, Stoffe in einer Aufspannung sowohl mit Pailletten als auch mit Schnüren zu besticken und dies auch in verschiedenen Farben.In order to be interchangeable, the sequin embroidering apparatuses and the like, and the lace embroidering apparatuses and the like advantageously have the same attachment means and coupling means. This has the advantage that one type of device can be easily replaced by the other type. It is also possible that the machine has both lace cording and sequin embroidery devices, which has never before been the case and opens up completely new possibilities for fashion designers. So it is possible to embroider fabrics in a single stretch with both sequins and with strings and this in different colors.
Die Stick- oder Steppmaschine ist ausserordentlich flexibel. Sie erlaubt die Ausführung aufwendiger Muster, die früher unmöglich oder nur in Handarbeit ausführbar waren. Da Pailletten und Schnüre mit relativ hohen Geschwindigkeiten aufgestickt werden können, erlaubt die Maschine eine edle Ausstattung von Modestoffen auch für Massenmärkte.The embroidery or quilting machine is extremely flexible. It allows the execution of elaborate patterns that were previously impossible or only executed by hand. Since sequins and cords can be embroidered at relatively high speeds, the machine allows a noble equipment of fashion fabrics also for mass markets.

Beim Soutachekopf 10' ist auf der Antriebswelle 57 ein Kegelrad 79 angeordnet, das mit einem weiteren Kegelrad 81 in Eingriff steht, welches mit einem Zahnriemenrad 83 verbunden ist. Das Zahnriemenrad 83 dient dem Antrieb des gezähnten Soutacherads 85 mittels eines Zahnriemens 87.When Soutachekopf 10 'a
Das Soutacherad 87 besitzt eine zentrale Öffnung 89 für den Durchgang der Sticknadel 33 (
Die Soutacheköpfe 10' arbeiten wie folgt: Verlangt das Programm das Ansticken von Schnüren, z.Bsp. durch jeden zweiten Soutachekopf, so werden bei den entsprechenden Stickstellen durch die Nadelstössel 31 die Kupplungen 49 betätigt und die entsprechenden Soutacheköpfe beginnen mit dem Ansticken der Schnüre 95. Dabei werden gesteuert durch die Maschinensteuerung die Soutacheräder 85 entsprechend dem Kurvenverlauf des Musters ausgerichtet und andererseits die Schnur 95 bei den einzelnen Stichen auf die eine oder andere Seite ausgelenkt, so dass die Stiche in der Regel abwechslungsweise auf der einen oder der anderen Seite der Schnur erfolgen, so dass der Nadelfaden 93 die Schnur 95 umwickelt und diese zusammen mit dem Schiffchenfaden 97 auf dem Stoff 99 feststickt (
Nach dem Aufsticken des Schnurmusters wird durch die Maschinensteuerung die Rückstellvorrichtung 21 betätigt, was das Ausschalten der Kupplung 49 zur Folge hat. Gleichzeitig kann durch eine nicht dargestellte Schneid- / Klemm- vorrichtung die Schnur geschnitten und / oder geklemmt werden. Das Schneiden kann aber auch manuell vorgenommen werden.After the stitching of the cord pattern, the
Zusammenfassend kann folgendes festgehalten werden: Die Stickmaschine ist mit Vorrichtungen zum Ansticken von Verzierungen bestückt, nämlich mit Paillettenköpfen (10) zum Ansticken von Pailletten und dergleichen und/oder Soutacheköpfen zum Ansticken von Schnüren und dergleichen. Diese Vorrichtungen sind leicht auswechselbar. Der Antrieb der Vorrichtungen erfolgt durch eine von der Maschinensteuerung steuerbaren Antriebseinrichtung (15). Eine Kupplung (49), die durch eine Schaltnocke (35), des Nadelstössels (31) betätigbar ist, dient dem Einkuppeln der jeweiligen Vorrichtung. Dem Auskuppeln dient eine durch die Maschinensteuerung steuerbare Rückstellvorrichtung (21). Weil das Einkuppeln durch den Nadelstössel (31) erfolgt, sind dafür keine besonderen Steuerorgane und Aktuatoren wie pneumatische Zylinder notwendig. Auf einer Stickmaschine kann eine Vielzahl von Vorrichtungen angeordnet sein, die nach dem Ansticken der Pailletten oder dem Ansticken von Schnüren durch die gleiche gemeinsame Rückstellvorrichtung auskuppelbar sind.In summary, the following can be stated: The embroidery machine is equipped with devices for embroidering ornaments, namely with sequin heads (10) for embroidering sequins and the like and / or Soutacheköpfen for embroidery of strings and the like. These devices are easily replaceable. The drive of the devices is carried out by a controllable by the machine control drive means (15). A clutch (49), which is actuated by a switching cam (35), the needle ram (31), serves to engage the respective device. The decoupling is controlled by the machine control reset device (21). Because the engagement takes place by the needle plunger (31), no special control organs and actuators such as pneumatic cylinders are necessary for this. On an embroidery machine, a plurality of devices can be arranged, which can be disengaged after the embroidery of the sequins or the embroidery of strings by the same common return device.
