SEWING-MACHINE moron.
Application led December 21, 1917. Serial No. 208,249.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OSCAR P. Eminem,- a citizen of'the United States, residin in the town of West Haven, county of ew Haven, and'StatlVof Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine-Motors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact dei scription.
This invention vrelates to motors for driving sewing machines, and it has particular re erence to a portable motor attachment which can 'be readily applied to and removedh from sewing machines of various makes. When placed on the machinemy improved motor drives the hand wheel very effectively by friction. One of the primary objects of my invention is to `provide a simple, convenient and serviceable motor attachment of the portable type, which can be used equally well with sewing machines of different patterns and different diameters of hand wheels.
Another object ofthe invention is to rovide anelectric motor drive in whic a friction pulley or wheel on the motor shaft is held in the proper relation to the machine wheel.
Another object of my invention is to provide a motor attachment which can be very readily and conveniently applied to the head of the sewing machine and readily detached therefrom.
Another object of theinvention is tofur nish a very sim. le and convenient arrangement whereby t e drive wheel on the motor, shaft rests against the machine wheel by` gravity and whereby'the motor readil accommodates itself to machine wheels o different diameters.
Another object of the invention is to f urnish a driving attachment for sewin vmachines which is of a convenient detac able type and can be mounted on the machine head whenv the attachment is in use, so that it will not take Ju space on the machine table and be in t e way. The improved device has, in this latter respect, all of the advantages of certainl attachments which have heretofore been built onto ,the sewing machine head as a lpermanent part of the machine; and, in a dition, it has the advantage of: ready removability from the machine, so that the motor member when -massage vlbrator, etc.
removed can -be used for other .purposes such as operating a beverage mixer, fan,
my invention, the motor member can be readily detached as a unit, and it is of such a character that it can be readily used for In accordance with l other purposes than the driving of sewing machines.
To these and vother ends, the invention l consists in the novel features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front elevation of a sewing machine head equipped with a motor attachment embodying my improvements; Y
Fig. 2 is a rear view of the parts shown in Fig. l; v

Figs. 6 7 and 8 arefdetail views; l
Fig. 9 1s. a top lan view of a sewing machine equip ed with an attachment of somewhat modi ed form;
Fig. 10 is a section on 9; and v Figs. 11 and 12 are details of the attachment shown in Figs. 9 and 10.
In the drawings, I have shown my improved attachment applied to a sewing machine of wellknown type having a head 2O only artially shown, and the usual machine whee or hand wheel 21 fixed to a shaft 22, which has a bearing in a sleeve-like projection' 23 on the head. The sleeve-like bearing projection or boss is a feature of practically all sewing machines now on the market, and in the forms of my invention herein shown, it islto this part of the machine that the attachment is applied. In the form. shown in Figs. 1 to 8,. the attachment conslsts primarily of a supporting frame 24, a cradle 1in@ ia-io of Fig.
25 pivoted thereto to swing in a vertical boss and having two spaced points 29 to bear thereon. These bearing points 29 coo crate with a clamping screw 30 threaded t rough one extremity 31 of the crescent. The axis of the screw is preferably about half way between the spaced bearing points 29, and the points 29 and the point 31a of screw 30 will engage the vbearing boss or projection at the apices of an isosceles triangle, as shown in Fi 5. The inner end 31a of the screw is pre erably formed with a sharp point, which is suitably hardened so that it will bite into the material of the machine frame when the screw is screwed inwardly with a small wrench or the like, thereby clamping the frame 24`securely to the machine head alongside the hand wheel, in the space between the hand wheel and the main art of the machine head, the body of the rame 24 being substantially parallel to the hand wheel, as shown in Fig. 1, and extending rearwardly therefrom in the example shown. The ,rearwardly extending portion of the frame consists of an extension 32 which is directed upwardly and rearwardly from the crescent-s aped portion 28 in the lane of the latter, and serves as a mounting for a guide rod 33, on which the cradle 25 is adjustably mounted for longitudinal Sliding movement. The rod 33, in the form shown, extends from that side of the. frame 24 which is away from the hand wheel and lies slightly back of the machine head, as shown 1n Fig. 3. The cradle 25 is formed of a flat metal arm vhaving spaced perforated knuckles 34 at the upper end of the same, which t over the guide 'rod 33, whereby the cradle is pivotally mounted on the guide rod, although it can be readily slid along the same to allow for the alignment of the drive pulley with the machine wheel. The motor member is mounted on the lower end of the cradle, as hereinafter described. Between the spaced knuckles 34 at the upper end of the cradle is a cam member 35, shown in detail in Fig. 8, havin a perforatien 36 fitting over the guide ro The cam member has a cam projection 37 at the lower part thereof ada ted to engage the edge 38 of thecradle between the knuckles, and the cam is also provided with a manipulating handle or extension 39, which projects forwardly of the machine in the example shown at a point above the head, where it is readily accessible. In the u per part of the cam member 35' is mountedJ a set screw 40 engaging@J threaded opening in the cam frame 24. After the cradle has been adjusted longitudinally, it may be clamped in position by the set screw 40, as will be obvious. The lower end of the cradle 25 is extended laterally, as shown at 41, and carries the motor member 26 on the upper surface thereof, the connection between the motor member and the extension 41 being a detachable one. The motor member selected for illustration is of the type illustrated in the application of Alfred C. Gilbert, Serial No. 203,975, and is adapted for a multiplicity of dierent uses. It is provided at the lower part with spaced integral lugs 42, between which a block 43 is detachably clamped by screws 44, substantially as disclosed in said Gilbert application, the lower end of the block 43 being provided with a tapped hole as in said application. This tapped hole, which it is not necessary to show herein, registers with a perforation 45 in the cradle extension 41,
and the motor member is detachably held in place by a set screw 46 which asses upward throu h ythe opening 45 and) engages the threa s in the block 43 attached to the casing of the motor member.
The operation of the improved attachment will be more or less obvious from the foregoing description. The frame member 20 is applied to the bearing boss 23 in the manner shown in Fig. 1, preferably with the arm 32 extending toward the rear of the machine, so that the motor attachment will be out of the way, the motor being located at theJ rear of the machine. The motor, which is detachably mounted on its cradle in the manner previously described, can be attached to the guide rod 33 of the supporting frame either before or after the member 24 has been applied to the head of the machine. When placed on the rod, the cradle may be adjusted longitudinally, so as to align the drive wheel on the motor shaft with the -machine Wheel. A considerable range of adjustment is provided fory by the guide rod 33, so that the drive pulley on the motor shaft can properly engage the hand wheels of many diii'erent types of machines, and, as before stated, practically all machines are provided with a bearing boss on which the frame member 24 may be detachably secured, .the fixedl bearing points 29 in combination with the adjustable bearing point 31 providing for the clamping of the supporting frame very effectively on bosses or sleeves of various diameters, the cradle member being freely pivoted to the supporting frame, so as to swing up and down -on the guide rod 33. The pulley 27 rests by gravity against the periphery of the machine wheel at the rear of the latter, as shewn in Fig. 4, the weight of the motor being exerted in a downward and forward direction as it is held some what to the rear of the position in which it would normally hang from the rod 33, by engagement with the machine wheel. In order to prevent the pulley from pressing too hard on the machine wheel, the screw 40 is used. By depressing the arm 39 of the cam member, the cam 37 presses on the cradle member in such a manner as to lift the motor from the machine wheel, as will be obvious. When the motor is in just the proper position to produce the desired amount of friction between the pulley and the machine wheel, the set screw 40 -is tightened, so as to clamp the cam member in a fixed position on the rod 33, and therefore the cradle member and motor are clamped in thev desired position. The cam member with its arm 39 forms a very effective means for raising the motor out of engagement with the machine wheel, and if desired the motor may be clamped by the set screw 40 in a completely' disengaged position. The main value of the set screw 40 is that it ermits the machine wheel to be relieved ci) a portion of the weight of the motor in a regulable manner, so that just the right amount of friction for driving the sewing machine in the most eiiicient manner can be obtained.
It will be understood, of course, that the swinging mounting of the motor member on the supporting frame permits the attachment to be used successfully in connection with sewing machine wheels of different diameters. When a sewing machine of larger diameter than that shown in Fig. 4 is employed; it is merely 'necessary to swing the motor member a little farther to the rear, whereas when the diameter of the machine Wheel is less than that shown in Fig. 4, the cradle supporting the motor will hang down in a more nearly vertical position. By the construction described, it will be obvious that the motor accommodates itself automatically to the machine wheel. Preferably, i the motor pulley en ages the machine wheel by avity, but mo ifications may be made in t is regardwhile still retaining other features of the invention.
Preferably, the guide rod 33 is detachably secured to the frame member 24 by a screw 47 threaded through the wall of the socket in the extension 32, in 'which the rod 33 is inserted. This enables the attachment tobe conveniently shipped in knockdown condition. It will be observed that the rod on which the motormember is suspended is located preferably at the rear of the usual spool-supportin pin 48 of the sewing machine shaft, -an the motor member is mounted to swing in a plane parallel to that of the machine wheel in an upward and downward direction about an axis located somewhat eccentrically with respect to the machine wheel axis and disposed lto one side of such axis, preferably at the rear side thereof, as described. It will be obvious from the foregoing' that the parts readily packed in knock-down condition, assembled, and applied .to the sewing machine. 4When the sewing machine is not in use, the attachment can be removed very readily and the motor member 26 canl be used for various other purposes.
In the modiication shown in Fig. 9, the supporting frame consists of a flat plate 49 set on top of the machine head and having a spring fork 50 straddling and frictionally en aging the bearing boss 23 of the machine. he frame 49 is also detachably secured in place by providing a slot 51 therein, having notches 52 along one side, one of which notches is adapted to engage the spool-supporting pin 48 of, the. machine. Along the rear edge of the supporting frame plate is a guide rod 53, on which a cradle member 54 is slidably mounted.` In this case the cradle member or arm has'an integral manipulating extension 55 at the upper end thereof, whereby it maybe rocked about the rod'53 as a pivot and no means for fixing the cradle arm in place on the guide rod is provided, although such means mi ht be provided if desired.
n referring in the claims to a gravity of the improved attachment can be very acting motor and. the engagement of the y drive pulle with the machine wheel by gravity, l o not, of course, wish to be understood as excluding the use of means for preventing the weight of the motor from acting on the hand wheel to a greater or less extent, as herein indicated; on the other hand, I simply` intend to indicate by this broad language that the drive pulley on the motor lshaft has a tendency to engage or to lie in close proximity to the machine wheel. It will be obvious that other modifications of the improved motor attachment will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of my invention.
