Definitions
- the present invention relates to a buttonholing machine for forming buttonholes on a fabric to be sewn, and more particularly to a hammer position adjustment mechanism for a buttonhole cutting device of a buttonholing machine.
- the hammer position adjustment mechanism includes fewer parts and occupies less operational space while enables convenient cutting of buttonholes of different lengths by adjusting a relative position between a hammer and a knife.
- Fig. 1A schematically shows a conventional buttonhole cutting device of a buttonholing machine includes a vertically movable shaft 10, a locating block 11 connected to a lower end of the shaft 10, an air cylinder 12 enclosed in the locating block 11, a sliding mechanism 13 coupled to and driven by the air cylinder 12 to automatically slide in y-axis direction, and a hammer 14 fixedly connected to a lower end of the sliding mechanism 13.
- Fig. 1B shows a stitched buttonhole 16 completed with the conventional buttonhole cutting device of the buttonholing machine of Fig. 1A .
- buttonshole 16 To use the buttonholing machine of Fig. 1A to form a buttonhole on a fabric, first horizontally move the hammer 14 rightward to a first position a1, and then lower the hammer 14 to contact with a knife 15 located below a fabric feeding table of the buttonholing machine, so that the hammer 14 cooperates with the knife 15 to cut a buttonhole 16 on a fabric that is placed on the fabric feeding table between the hammer 14 and the knife 15.
- an intended overall length L2 of the buttonhole 16 to be formed on the fabric is larger than a length L1 of the hammer 14, it is necessary to horizontally move the hammer 14 leftward to a second position a2, and then lower the hammer 14 again in order to increase the length of the initially formed buttonhole 16.
- buttonsholing machine of Fig. 1A With the buttonholing machine of Fig. 1A , it is able to form buttonholes of different lengths on fabrics without the need of replacing any part on the machine. However, in the case of forming a relatively long buttonhole, the hammer must be horizontally moved and repeatedly lowered two to three times and the whole buttonholing operation requires prolonged time to complete. That is, the buttonholing operation could not be completed quickly.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows another conventional buttonhole cutting device of a buttonholing machine that includes a knife 20 located on a bed portion of the buttonholing machine, a cutting block 21 cooperatively working with the knife 20, a driving shaft 22 driving the cutting block 21 to move vertically relative to the knife 20, a horizontally slidable plate 23 connected to the cutting block 21 and having a guide rod 24 movably fitted in a slide rail 26 that is fixedly connected to a supporting plate 25, which is in turn mounted on a body portion 27 of the buttonholing machine, and a step motor 28 mounted to the supporting plate 25 and having a screw rod 29 connected to the horizontally slidable plate 23 to serve as a driving member.
- the horizontally slidable plate 23 can bring the cutting block 21 to move horizontally and accordingly change its horizontal position relative to the knife 20, enabling the buttonholing machine of Fig. 2 to form buttonholes of different lengths with one single cutting operation.
- the buttonholing machine of Fig. 2 has the disadvantage that the whole mechanism for driving the cutting block to move horizontally is bulky in volume and includes a large number of parts.
- the driving mechanism also occupies a large part of the operational space on the buttonholing machine between a head portion and a bed portion thereof. That is, the conventional buttonhole cutting device for the buttonholing machine of Fig. 2 not only increases the manufacturing cost of the buttonholing machine, but also causes inconvenience in operating the machine.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a hammer position adjustment mechanism for buttonhole cutting device of buttonholing machine that has a simplified design and occupies less operational space on a buttonholing machine, and can be automatically or manually operable in different embodiments to satisfy different requirements in use.
