Definitions

  • This disclosure generally relates to a sewing machine.
  • JPS55-56603A hereinafter referred to as Reference 1, discloses a sewing machine provided with a controller body formed in a circular form, which is a form that restrains the controller from limiting operational direction of the controller to a particular direction. Accordingly, the controller may be operated from every direction to change speed of operation of the sewing machine so that an operator may control the speed of operation of the sewing machine with ease and without complex operating procedures.
  • the sewing machine according to Reference 1 does not clearly define where a sole of a foot should be positioned relative to the controller body that is a foot controller. Accordingly, the sewing machine according to Reference 1 results in difficulty of providing a subtle control of the sewing machine in a state where the sewing machine is operated by stepping on the foot controller, which is considered as a disadvantage.
  • JP 2009 089729 A relates to a foot-operated controller for sewing machine, and controller for sewing machine.
  • a sewing machine includes a foot controller including a casing to be stepped on configured to receive an operator's foot for an operation and a positioning guide member provided on the casing to guide the operator where to place a thenar eminence of the operator.
  • the sewing machine further includes a motor varying rotation speed thereof to control a moving distance of a sewing needle in a rightward-leftward direction or to control a speed of the sewing needle moving in an upward-downward direction in accordance with an operation amount of the casing.
  • a positional relationship between a sole of a foot and the foot controller becomes clear to the operator so that the operator controlling the sewing machine by stepping on the foot controller may be provided with ease on controlling the sewing machine with subtlety.
  • the positioning guide member of the sewing machine provided on the casing to be stepped on is positioned at a position corresponding to a portion of a foot of the operator between vertex of the thenar eminence and most recessed point of a plantar arch of the foot in a state where the operator steps on the casing.
  • the positional relationship between the sole of the foot and the foot controller becomes more clear to the operator so that the operator controlling the sewing machine by stepping on the foot controller may be provided with furthermore ease on controlling the sewing machine with subtlety.
  • the positioning guide member of the sewing machine provided on the casing to be stepped on is positioned at a position that comes to contact with a sloped surface portion of the thenar eminence of the operator, the sloped surface portion at a position closer to the plantar arch of the foot, in a state where the operator steps on the casing.
  • the positional relationship between the sole of the foot and the foot controller becomes more clear to the operator so that the operator controlling the sewing machine by stepping on the foot controller may be provided with furthermore ease on controlling the sewing machine with subtlety.
  • the positioning guide member of the sewing machine includes a recessed area provided on the casing to be stepped on at a position for receiving a heel of the operator when the operator steps on the casing so that the portion of the foot of the operator between the vertex of the thenar eminence and the most recessed point of the plantar arch of the foot is positioned at a position where the positioning guide member is provided.
  • the positional relationship between the sole of the foot and the foot controller becomes even more clear to the operator so that the operator controlling the sewing machine by stepping on the foot controller may be provided with even more ease on controlling the sewing machine with subtlety.
  • the positioning guide member of the sewing machine includes a recessed area provided on the casing to be stepped on at a position for receiving a heel of the operator when the operator steps on the casing so that the sloped surface portion of the thenar eminence of the operator, the sloped surface portion at a position closer to the plantar arch of the foot, is positioned at a position where the positioning guide member is provided.
  • a positional relationship between the sole of the foot and the foot controller becomes even more clear to the operator so that the operator controlling the sewing machine by stepping on the foot controller may be provided with even more ease on controlling the sewing machine with subtlety.

  • the positioning guide member 12b and the recessed area 12c of the casing 12 to be stepped on are integrally formed with the casing 12. Nevertheless, the positioning guide member 12b and the recessed area 12c of the casing 12 to be stepped on may be substituted with separate parts that are fitted to the casing 12.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates, in a state where an operator steps on the casing 12 to be stepped on from a substantially upward direction while the heel of the operator is placed on the recessed area 12c of the casing 12 to be stepped on, the sloped surface portion of the thenar eminence of the operator, the sloped surface portion at a position closer to the plantar arch of the foot, makes contact with the positioning guide member 12b.
  • the casing 12 to be stepped on is pushed downward so that the motor 6 changes a rotational speed directly proportional to the amount of the casing 12 pushed downward. Accordingly, a distance to move a sewing needle 4a in a rightward-leftward direction or a speed of the sewing needle 4a moving in an upward-downward direction is changed.
  • the heel of the operator is retained at the recessed area 12c of the casing 12 where the recessed area 12c is at a position substantially right above the rotational axis 11a of the base casing 11. Accordingly, the heel does not move significantly in an upward direction and a downward direction while the heel pivots at an ankle in a frontward direction and a rearward direction.
