Description
- This disclosure relates to an embroidery presser of a sewing machine.
- When doing embroidery with a sewing machine, the sewing machine is configured to move a fabric presser upward and downward synchronously with upward and downward movements of a needle.
- A turning presser (embroidery presser) disclosed in
JP 62-32649 fabric presser 13 having an elongated needle drop hole (needle hole) 320 formed therethrough and thepresser leg 5 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material. Therefore, when doing embroidery so as to trace a rough design drawn on a fabric (embroidery object) in advance, the usability is improved because a user can see the rough design. - However, there Is a case where part of the rough design can hardly be seen. For axample, as illustrated In
Fig. 13 , there is a case where part of arough design 14 seen from aneedle hole 91a of afabric presser 91 and part of therough design 14 located on the near side of the fabric presser 91 (the sewing machine user side) seem to be disconnected, and henoe therough design 14 is less visible. In particular, a side surface 91o on the near side of theneedle hole 91a and aside surface 91d on the near side of thefabric presser 91 are less visible in many cases. The reason is that the user sees from an oblique direction even though a surface of the fabric presser 91 formed of a transparent synthetic resin extends perpendicularly, and hence continuity of the image is impaired due to refraction of light at a boundary between thefabric presser 91 and air. Therefore, therough design 14 is shifted or disconnected, and hence becomes less visible. When an attempt is made to view therough design 14 pressed by thefabric presser 91 from the oblique direction, light deflects at respective surfaces of thefabric presser 91 as illustrated by a solid line, a dotted line, and a double-clashed line InFig. 14 . Consequently, the rough design drawn on the embroidery object in advance becomes less visible so that the usability cannot be said to be good.
EP-A-2 518 200 relates to a sewing machine embroidery presser and sewing machine.EP-A-2 233 628 relates to a presser foot for sewing machine.
US-A-6 273 013 relates to a thread tail control apparatus and method. - Thus, a need exists for an embroidery presser of a sewing machine which makes an embroidery object on which a rough design or the like is drawn more visible.
- (1) An aspect of this disclosure is directed to an embroidery presser of a sewing machine including a needle rod having a needle holder configured to hold a needle and configured to be movable upward and downward in a height direction and a presser rod configured to be movable upward and downward in the height direction, and configured to be mounted on the presser rod, including: a presser holder; an operating arm mounted on the presser holder and is configured to move upward and downward in the height direction by being lifted by the needle rod or the needle holder; a presser leg including a fabric presser having a needle hole formed therethrough, facing a needle plate of the sewing machine and pressing an embroidery object, and being held by the presser holder so as to be movable upward and downward in conjunction with the operating arm; and a pressing spring provided on the presser holder and having an urging force that urges the presser leg toward the needle plate, wherein the fabric presser has a portion which allows the embroidery object to be seen through on at least on a sewing machine user side of the fabric presser, and at least a side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole of the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole and a side surface on the sewing machine user side of the fabric presser is inclined so that an upper end is closer to the sewing machine user side than a lower end.
The aspect (1) of this disclosure described above may employ one or more of the following configurations (2) to (5) added arbitrarily thereto. - (2) The fabric presser allows the embroidery object to be seen through at least at a portion corresponding to the maximum stitch width of the needle rod.
- (3) At least the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole of the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole and the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the fabric presser has an angle of inclination substantially parallel to a line of sight of the user looking the needle hole.
- (4) The fabric presser includes an adjusting portion (8) configured to allow adjustment of the angle of inclination of at least the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole of the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole and the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the fabric presser.
- In the aspect (1) of this disclosure described above, at least a portion of the fabric presser that holds the embroidery object on which the rough design of the embroidery is drawn on the sewing machine user side allows the user to see through, and the side surface on the sewing machine user side of the needle hole is inclined. The inclined side surface is inclined so that the upper end is closer to the sewing machine user side than the lower end. By inclining the side surface to be closer to the line of sight of the sewing machine user looking at the needle hole, the portion of the fabric presser that hinders the direct view of the needle hole is eliminated, and the visibility is less affected by light refraction at a boundary surface between the fabric presser and air. Furthermore, by inclining the side surface of the fabric presser on the sewing machine user side so as to get closer to the line of sight of the sewing machine user, the visibility is further less affected by the light refraction. Therefore, according to the disclosure described in (1), visibility of the embroidery object on which the rough design is drawn is good.
- According to the aspect (2) of this disclosure described above, the portion of the fabric presser which allows the user to see through is increased, so that the embroidery object which is pressed by the fabric presser and on which the rough design is drawn is more visible.
- According to the aspect (3) of this disclosure described above, since the inclination of the inclined side surface has the angle of inclination substantially parallel to the line of sight of the user looking the needle hole, the line of the rough design drawn on the embroidery object is seen as a continuous line without being affected by the light refraction at the boundary surface between the fabric presser and air, so that usability is improved and an operation efficiency is also improved.
- According to the aspect (4) of this disclosure described above, since the angle of inclination of the side surface may be adjusted by the adjusting portion, the angle of inclination of the side surface can be adjusted so as to match the angle of the line of sight of the sewing machine user to improve the visibility or to be less affected by the light refraction.
- The foregoing and additional features and characteristics of this disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description considered with the reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

An operating arm is mounted on the presser holder, and moves upward and downward by being lifted by part of a needle rod or a needle holder in a height direction. A presser leg is held by the presser holder so as to move upward and downward in conjunction with the operating arm, faces a needle plate of the sewing machine, and presses an embroidery object. A pressing spring is provided on the presser holder and has an urging force to urge the presser leg toward the needle plate.
- Referring now to
Fig. 1 to Fig. 12 , representative embodiments of this disclosure will be described below. An embroidery presser of a sewing machine according to this disclosure is mounted on the presser rod of the sewing machine. First of all, the sewing machine includes a microcomputer mounted thereon, and, as illustrated inFig. 1 and Fig. 2 , holds aneedle holder 11 configured to hold aneedle 10, and includes aneedle rod 1 configured to move upward and downward along the height direction (the direction indicated by an arrow H), apresser rod 13 configured to move upward and downward in the height direction, and an embroidery presser 2 demountably mounted on alower end portion 13d of thepresser rod 13. Theneedle holder 11 is fixed to a lower extremity of theneedle rod 1 so as to project in the substantially orthogonal direction with respect to theneedle rod 1. Theembroidery presser 2 is configured to press and hold a fabric as anembroidery object 15 on which embroidery is to be done and the embroidery formed on the fabric at the time of doing embroidery. - The embroidery presser 2 of the sewing machine of
Embodiment 1 includes apresser holder 4, asliding shaft 5, anoperating arm 61, apressing spring 62 and apresser leg 3 as illustrated inFig. 1 and Fig. 2 . Thepresser holder 4 includes ahandle portion 41 to be mounted on thelower end portion 13d of thepresser rod 13, and a supportingportion 42 configured to support thesliding shaft 5, which will be described later. The supportingportion 42 includes bearingportions Fig. 6 . The bearingportions holes sliding shaft 5 penetrates in a height direction H formed therein. Thesliding shaft 5 includes asecuring hole 51 penetrating through a lower end thereof substantially in the perpendicular direction with respect to the direction of an axial line, aspring pin 63 is inserted into thesecuring hole 51, and thepresser leg 3 is secured to the sliding shaft 5 (see alsoFig. 4 ). - The
sliding shaft 5 includes asecuring hole 52 penetrating through an upper end thereof substantially in the perpendicular direction with respect to the direction of an axial line, theoperating arm 61 is inserted into thesecuring hole 52, and theoperating arm 61 is secured to the sliding shaft 5 (see alsoFigs. 3 to 5 ). Thesliding shaft 5 includes anannular groove 53 depressed over the entire circumference at a midpoint in the direction of an axial line, and anE-ring 64 is fitted in theannular groove 53 in the direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of an axial line (seeFig. 3 andFig. 4 as well). Thepressing spring 62 is fitted on the slidingshaft 5 as illustrated inFig. 3 andFig. 4 , and is assembled between the bearingportion 43 on the upper portion of thepresser holder 4 and the E-ring 64 in a compressed state. The E-ring 64 is positioned between the bearingportion 44 on the lower portion of thepresser holder 4 and thepressing spring 62, and the slidingshaft 5 and thepresser leg 3, which will be described later, are urged downward by thepressing spring 62 via the E-ring 64. - The
presser leg 3 includes a fixingportion 31 and afabric presser 32 as illustrated inFig. 3 to Fig. 6 , and is formed integrally of a transparent synthetic resin, for example, polycarbonate. The fixingportion 31 includes a slidingshaft hole 311 through which the slidingshaft 5 is inserted in the direction of an axial line and a fixinghole 312 through which thespring pin 63 is inserted substantially in the vertical direction with respect to the direction of an axial line as illustrated inFig. 6 , and thepresser leg 3 is fixed to the slidingshaft 5 by the spring pin 63 (see alsoFig. 4 ). Theoperating arm 61 is secured to the slidingshaft 5, and thepresser leg 3 is held by thepresser holder 4 via the slidingshaft 5. Thepresser leg 3 moves upward and downward in conjunction with upward and downward movements of theoperating arm 61 together with the slidingshaft 5. - The
fabric presser 32 of thepresser leg 3 is positioned on the user side of the sewing machine with respect to the fixingportion 31, faces aneedle plate 12 of the sewing machine, and holds a fabric (seeFig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). Thefabric presser 32 includes anelongated needle hole 320 formed therethrough as illustrated inFigs. 5 and6 . Theneedle hole 320 is laterally elongated when viewed from the sewing machine user, and has a gentle arcuate shape slightly depressing toward the inside at a center portion thereof. The outline of thefabric presser 32 is also an elongated hole elongated in the lateral direction like theneedle hole 320, and has a gentle arcuate shape similar to and larger than theneedle hole 320. A side surface of theneedle hole 320 on the user side of the sewing machine (hereinafter referred to as a "needle hole near side surface") 3c and a side surface of thefabric presser 32 on the user side of the sewing machine (hereinafter referred to as a "fabric presser near side surface") 3d are inclined so that the upper sides are positioned on the user side of the sewing machine as illustrated inFig. 6 andFig. 7 . The needle hole nearside surface 3c and the fabric presser nearside surface 3d are inclined substantially parallel to each other. - When the
embroidery presser 2 of the sewing machine of the embodiment is mounted on thepresser rod 13 as illustrated inFig. 1 and Fig. 2 , a distal end of theoperating arm 61 secured to an upper end of the slidingshaft 5 is positioned on the up-down trace of theneedle holder 11, and hence an upwardly moving action of theneedle rod 1 is transmitted to the slidingshaft 5. Then, when doing the embroidery with the sewing machine by mounting theembroidery presser 2 of the sewing machine, feed teeth (which are not illustrated) of the sewing machine are normally prevented from projecting from theneedle plate 12. Theembroidery presser 2 of the sewing machine presses the fabric downward by a spring force of thepressing spring 62 while theneedle rod 1 is at the lower position and theneedle 10 picks through the fabric. However, when theneedle 10 is moved upward, the theneedle holder 11 causes the slidingshaft 5 and thepresser leg 3 to move upward via theoperating arm 61 against the spring force of thepressing spring 62, and does not press the fabric downward any longer. Accordingly, a pressing force with respect to the fabric is released, so that the sewing machine user is allowed to move the fabric freely. -
Fig. 8 is a side view of the sewing machine and a line of sight of the sewing machine user is illustrated by a double-dashed line. An angle a of the line of sight of the sewing machine user with reference to theneedle plate 12 is on the order of 30 degrees to 60 degrees although varying among different individuals. Thefabric presser 32 of theembroidery presser 2 of the sewing machine of theEmbodiment 1 is inclined so that upper ends of the needle hole nearside surface 3c and the fabric presser nearside surface 3d of theneedle hole 320 get closer to the sewing machine user than the lower end as illustrated inFig. 7 , and hence the inclination is almost the same as, or close to the angle of the line of sight of the sewing machine user. Consequently, therough design 14 drawn on the fabric in advance is highly visible without shifting or disconnection as illustrated inFig. 9 without being affected by the refraction of light to allow the user to do embroidery easily. - An
embroidery presser 7 of a sewing machine ofEmbodiment 2 basically has the same configuration and the same effects and advantages as theembroidery presser 2 ofEmbodiment 1 as illustrated infig. 10 andFig. 11 . In the following description, different configurations are focused. - In the configuration of the
embroidery presser 7 of the sewing machine ofEmbodiment 2, part of thefabric presser 32 on the user side, that is, an adjustingportion 8 is a separate member. The adjustingportion 8 includes the needle hole nearside surface 3c and the fabric presser nearside surface 3d of theneedle hole 320 of thefabric presser 32 and includes supportingportions Fig 10 . Thefabric presser 32 includes engagingportions 321 and 322 depressed leftward and rightward, with which the supportingportions portion 8 are engaged. The adjustingportion 8 rotates about a line extending in parallel to the substantially lateral direction connecting the supportingportions fabric presser 32 as illustrated inFig. 11 . The adjustingportion 8 changes an angle of inclination of the needle hole nearside surface 3c and the fabric presser nearside surface 3d of theneedle hole 320 by rotating. - Therefore, with the
embroidery presser 7 of the sewing machine ofEmbodiment 2, the adjustingportion 8 is aligned easily with the angle of the line of sight of the sewing machine user by rotating the adjustingportion 8 without changing the angle of the line of sight of the sewing machine user or without changing the height of a base on which the sewing machine is placed. Consequently, visibility of therough design 14 is improved and working efficiency is improved. - An embroidery presser of
Modification 1 basically has the same configuration and the same effects and advantages as theembroidery presser 2 ofEmbodiment 1. In the following description, different configurations are focused. - In the embroidery presser of the sewing machine of
Modification 1, of a side surface (needle hole near side surface) 3e on the sewing machine user side of theneedle hole 320 of thefabric presser 32 and a side surface (fabric presser near side surface) 3f on the sewing machine user side of thefabric presser 32, the needle hole nearside surface 3e is inclined and the fabric presser nearside surface 3f is perpendicular as illustrated inFig. 12 . The needle hole nearside surface 3e is inclined so that an upper end is located on the side of the sewing machine user than a lower end. - Although preferred embodiments disclosed here have been described thus far, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, a configuration in which the needle hole near
side surface 3c (3e) and the fabric presser nearside surface 3d may not be a strict straight line from the lower end to the upper end, and may be gently curved, or partly inclined in parallel to the line of sight may be employed. - The principles, preferred embodiment and mode of operation of the present invention have been described in the foregoing specification. However, the invention which is intended to be protected is not to be construed as limited to the particular embodiments disclosed. Further, the embodiments described herein are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Variations and changes may be made by others, and equivalents employed, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, it is expressly intended that all such variations, changes and equivalents which fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the claims, be embraced thereby.
