Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a presser foot storage device provided in a sewing machine frame.

In a typical home sewing machine that can perform multiple types of sewing with a single machine, it is necessary to replace the presser foot with the one for the sewing youth each time the sewing method is changed.

There are two points to keep in mind when replacing the presser foot.

How can presser feet suitable for various sewing methods be taken out easily and without error, and how can unused presser feet be neatly stored.

It is convenient to use the hollow part of the sewing machine frame as a storage location for the presser foot, and this has been done in the past.

The one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-89238 is a typical example, in which an accessory storage section for storing a presser foot, etc., and a quick reference mechanism for various sewing methods are layered in the upper part of the arm of the sewing machine frame. They are provided in a shape, and each is provided with a lid.

However, the upper part of the arm is not necessarily a place that is easy for workers to see, and many presser feet are stored in one plane separately from the sewing instructions, so the presser foot that is followed by the quick reference mechanism is There was a drawback that the wrong item was easily taken out by mistake.

The present invention was developed against the background of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a presser foot storage device that can satisfy both of the above two points.

The gist of the present invention is that a display board on which various sewing blue indications are drawn side by side is attached to the front of the sewing machine frame, and the sewing machine frame is equipped with a plurality of drawer bodies for storing presser feet. The operation section is provided so as to be positioned in relation to the stitching blue display on the display board.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a machine frame of the sewing machine, which is cut out from a bed 2, a pillar section 3, an arm section 4, a head section 5, etc.

A presser foot 6 and a needle bar 7 are disposed on the head 5 so as to be movable up and down, and a presser foot 8 and a sewing machine needle 9 are attached to the lower ends of each.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an elongated display board 11 is mounted near the right end of the front surface of the pillar portion 3, on which various sewing methods that can be performed by this sewing machine are displayed.

The display board 11 has a plurality of stitch blue displays 1 as shown in FIG.
2 are drawn vertically in sequence.

The pedestal section 3 is also equipped with box-shaped drawer sections 15 of the same number as each of the blue lines 12 described above so as to be able to be drawn out to the right.

That is, as is clear from FIG. 2, guide grooves 14 having a substantially T-shaped cross section are formed at predetermined intervals in the storage plate 13 fixed in the pillar part 3, while on the back side of the drawer part body 15, guide grooves 14 are formed at predetermined intervals. An engaging protrusion 10 having a shape corresponding to the guide groove 14 is provided so that the drawer body 15 can be moved laterally by engagement of the two.

As is clear from FIG. 3, each drawer body 15 is provided with a presser foot storage section 17 that opens forward and upward, and each presser foot storage section 17 has a presser foot 25 necessary for performing each sewing method. Stored.

Each presser foot is engraved with a different letter of the alphabet.

The drawer body 15 also has a gripping piece (operation part) 16 at its tip, and the same alphabetic characters as those of the presser foot 25 are written on the front surface thereof.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a printed circuit board 18 is fixedly installed inside the display board 11, and the same number of light emitting diodes 19 as the stitched blue display 12 on the display board are arranged on the printed circuit board 18.

An insulating plate 21 is disposed between the printed circuit board 18 and the drawer body 15, and a presser foot 25 inside the drawer body 15 is provided.
This prevents the printed circuit board 18 from coming into contact with the printed circuit board 18.

Further, on the display board 22 attached to the front surface of the arm section 4, figures (only some are shown) 24 indicating a plurality of types of seam patterns (only some are shown) are drawn, and above each figure 24 are drawn. The same number of light emitting diodes 26 are fixedly installed.

There are two selection buttons 27 and 2 near the right end of the display board 22.
8 are attached.

If you press the left selection button 27, the three light emitting diodes 26 will emit light from right to left, and if you press the right selection button 28, the three light emitting diodes 26 will sequentially emit light to indicate the stitch pattern that has been translated into Japanese. The sewing method that can be performed by forming is indicated by the light emitted from the light emitting diode 19.

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, there is no need to remember what kinds of sewing methods can be performed by forming a certain stitch pattern.

When the number of sewing methods and stitch patterns increases, it is troublesome to remember them one by one, but this becomes unnecessary.

Then, if you hold the grip piece 16 and pull out the drawer body 15 on the right side of the sewing method 12 (for example, straight stitch) that is displayed by the light emission, the presser foot necessary for performing straight stitch is stored in the storage section 17. Legs 25 are stored.

Since the drawer body of this model does not pull out, it is absolutely impossible to take out the presser foot by mistake.

Furthermore, since the storage section 17 is open forward and upward, the presser foot 25 can be easily taken out.

When changing the sewing method from straight stitching to, for example, zigzag stitching, it is necessary to replace the presser foot 25 accordingly.

The presser foot 25 for straight stitching is stored in the dedicated drawer body 15, and the presser foot 25 for zigzag sewing is taken out from the dedicated drawer body 15.

As mentioned above, the latter removal operation is easy, but the former storage operation can also be performed without error.

The presser foot 25 has the same alphabetic character as the drawer body 15 in which it is to be stored (“A” in the case of straight stitching).
This is because it is printed.

The front side of the pedestal section 3 is easily visible to the worker, and there is no drive mechanism installed on the right front side, so there is no problem in arranging the presser foot storage device in this area. , dead space will be used effectively.

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG.

This differs from the above example in the shape of the drawer body, etc.

That is, as is clear from the figure, each drawer body 30 has a plate-like shape as a whole, apart from the flat plate body 31 and the storage portion 32.

The flat plate bodies 31 are stacked in a stepwise manner such that the height becomes lower toward the front side of the pillar portion 3.

A recess with such a shape is formed on the side surface of the pillar portion 3.

Each storage section 32 is open forward and upward, and the flat plate body 3
When all 1 are pushed in, they are arranged in a line in the vertical direction.

Further, an instruction manual 33 for sewing using the presser foot stored in the drawer body 30 is attached to the flat plate body 31.

In addition to the various advantages of the previous embodiments, this embodiment has the following:
This has the advantage of eliminating the need for a place to store the instruction manual and saving the effort required to search for the desired description.

Note that one presser foot may be used to perform multiple sewing methods.

Examples include straight stitching and quilting, zigzag and fagoting.

In such a case, for example, as shown in FIG.
3 should be described separately on the left and right.

It goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various ways other than the embodiments detailed above.

As detailed above, the presser foot storing device according to the present invention can be installed by effectively utilizing the dead space of the sewing machine frame, and the presser foot dedicated to a certain sewing method can be easily installed from the drawer body. Moreover, it can be taken out without error, and after use, it can be stored neatly in the original drawer body.
