  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an oil supply device for a looper base of a sewing machine, and in particular, sliding of a spreader operation cam plate that swings while sliding between a holder member having a pair of loopers and a spreader and a vertical wall of the looper base. The surface is automatically refueled.

  Conventionally, in a hole sewing machine that sews a hole seam, when hole sewing is started, the upper shaft is driven to rotate by the driving of the sewing machine motor, and the rotation of the upper shaft causes the needle bar vertical movement mechanism to rotate. The needle bar is moved up and down by driving, and a pair of left and right loopers and a spreader provided on the looper base are respectively driven. Further, the needle bar is swung by the needle swinging mechanism, and the balance is swung by the balance mechanism. A hole stitch is formed on the work cloth.

For example, the eyelet-punching sewing machine described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a swingable holder member (looper / spreader holder member) in which a pair of left and right loopers and a spreader are integrally provided on a looper base. A looper drive shaft is inserted and installed in the rotation shaft portion 11 extended to the lower part of the base, and a spreader drive shaft is inserted and installed in the looper drive shaft. The looper drive shaft and the spreader drive shaft are driven to swing in synchronization with the vertical movement cycle of the needle bar while having different phases by a cam mechanism, so that a predetermined hole seam is formed on the work cloth.

  By the way, in the looper base configured in this manner, a plate-like spreader operation cam plate having a cam portion at the upper end for opening and closing a pair of spreaders is slid between the holder member and the vertical wall of the looper base. It is supported movably. Therefore, the oil supply side end portion, which is one end portion of the lamp core, faces the sliding surface of the spreader operation cam plate, particularly the holder member, and the oil introduction side end portion, which is the other end portion of the lamp core, faces the outer peripheral side of the looper base. Therefore, each time the sewing work is started, the operator supplies oil to the oil introduction side end of the light core as appropriate by using an oil can so that the swing of the spreader operation cam plate is not hindered. I am doing so.
