JAMES R. MOFFA'IT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO UNION SPECIAL MACHINE COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION 011 ILLINOIS.
POCKET-STITCHING MACHINE.
Application filed November 4, 1920. Serial No. 421,722.
To aZZ whom itmay concern Be it known that I, JAMEs R. MOFFATT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pocket-Stitching Machines, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the figures of reference marked thereon.
The invention relates to new and useful improvements in sewing machines, and more particularly to a sewing machine having a trimming mechanism and stitching devices so disposed as to trim and firmly unite the edges of fabric sections forming a pocket or the like for a garment.
An objection of the invention is to provide a sewing machine of the above character wherein'the trimming devices are so related to each other that the edges of the fabric sections may be trimmed, covered, and firmly secured together and at the same time, the fabric directed so as to turn corners or the like.
A further object of the invention is to provide a stitching mechanism for overseaming including spaced needles and a cross thread laying mechanism, wherein means is provided for positively insuring the position of the strand of the loop that passes between the needles.
A further object of the invention is to provide a stitching mechanism including spaced needles and a thread hook with devices for positively placing the cross thread for engagement by said hook.
These and other objects will in part be obvious and will in part be hereinafter more fully disclosed.
In the drawings which show by way of illustration one embodiment of the inven tion- 7 Figure 1 is a front View of a portion of a sewing machine having my improvements embodied therein;
Fig. 2 is a view partly in plan and partly in section showing the relation of the stitcl1- ing devices to the trimmer, and taken on line 22 of Fig 1.
Fig. 3 is an end view of a portion of the head of the. machine;
Fig. f is a view showing more or less diagrammatically the needles and the loopers associated with the needles;
Fig. 5 is a view showing in plan and on a much enlarged scale, a portion of the stitched article;
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig.2, but with the hook at its extreme right hand position;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the finger which cooperates with thearm in positioning the cross thread for engagement by the hook, and
Fig.8 is a detail showing a portion of the right hand needle and the location of the positioning finger for the .cross thread relative thereto.
The invention broadly isdirected to a sewing machine having over edge stitch forming mechanism which preferably includes two needles, a looper cooperating with the two needles beneath the fabric,
a cross thread laying hook cooperating with the twoineedles. above the fabric, a thread guiding arm associated with said hook, a thread positioning member for positively placing the strand of the loop which passes between the two needles when the hook is at the forwardend of its stroke, thus permitting the thread book which lays the cross thread. to move in a circle with the center of the presser bar as anaxis, and very close to the needles, and an adjustable finger which cooperates with the thread guiding arm to position the cross thread for engagement by the hook. This permits the placing of the trimming mechanism very close in front of the needles forming the stitching mechanism, so that the trimmed edge is covered by the over-seaming stitches,
like. Also associated with the stitching mechanism above referred to for covering the edge of the fabric, is a stitching mechanism which produces a streight line of stitches parallel with and at one side of the over-seaming stitches, which greatly strengthens the pocket seam made with the machine. The needle of this stitching mechanism is also comparatively close in rear of the two needles forming the over-seaming stitches, so as not to interfere with the turning of the fabric in stitching around corners or the like.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, the invention is shown as applied to a sewing machine having a work support 1, an overhanging arm 2 in which the needle bar and at the same time, the fabric may be turned so as to stitch about corners or the 3 reciprocates. The needle bar is reciprocated by the usual needle lever 4 connected to the needle bar by means of a link This needle bar carries two needles 6 and T. which form a partof an over-seaming mechanism, and a third needle 8 which forms a part of the straight line stitching mechanism.
The material is held on the work support by a presser foot 9 carried by the presser bar 10 which is mounted to reciprocate in suitable bearings carried by the overhanging arm Beneath the work support, there is a looper 11 which cooperates with the needles 6 and 7. This looper is of the usual construction and is mounted in the usual way, and it is not thought necessary to indicate the mechanism which supports and operates the looper. The loopcr cooperating with the two needles, not only looks the needle loops, but forms a thread connection between these locked needle loops, which is of the usual character.
Cooperating with the needles 6 and 7 above the work support is a thread hook 12. This thread hook 12 is carried by an arm 13 which is pivoted to swing about the center of the presser bar 10 as an axis. Said thread hook is forked with a forked. forward end 14. Associated with the thread hook is a thread guide 15 (see Fig. 3) through which the cross thread is led, and when the hook is at the rear end of its stroke, the thread running from the thread guide 15 to the fabric lies in the path of the forked end 14 so that the forward movement of the hook 12 will engage the cross thread and form a loop therein. In the drawings, the cross thread is indicated at c and in Fig. 2 the hook is shown in full lines in its forward position, having formed a loop in its cross thread, and in Fig. 6, said hook is shown as in its rear position ready to move forward to engage the cross thread. The cross thread c is drawn against the thread arm 16 which has a cam face, and the strain on the thread causes this thread to slip rearwardly on this cam face so that the forward portion of the strand 0 is properly positioned relative to the two needles 6 and 7. This cross thread and cooperating cam positioning arm form no part of the present invention, but are shown, described and claimed in my copending application, Serial Number 181208, filed July 18, 1907.
There is another feature of importance in connection with my machine, and that is the positioning finger 160 for insuring that the cross thread will be properly positioned for engagement by the hook 12 regardless of the length of the feed stroke of the machine. This cross thread extends from the fabric where it is attached by the needle threads to the forked end 14 of the hook 12, and unless it is positioned with considerable certainty, the hook 12 will skip it. The positioning finger for the cross thread consists of a shank 161 having a slot 162 through which a suitable screw passes into the presser foot. This slot is elongated so as to provide for the adjustment of the positioning finger in a direction parallel with the line offeed. Said positioning finger is provided with a blade 163 lying in a vertical plane with its extreme forward edge substantially vertical throughout the greater portion thereof as indicated at 165 and with the upper portion-inclined rearwardly, said blade has a downward projection 164' so that the extreme forward edge extends well down toward the lower surface of the presser foot and the upper face of the fabric and only clears the fabric sufficiently to allow the threads to pass underneath this project-ion 164 which is rounded for this purpose.
Assuming the parts to be in the position shown in F 6, the hook 12 moves toward the left and engages that portion of the cross thread indicated at (L and carries the strand toward the left, forming a loop. its the hook 12 moves toward the left. the needles rise and the feed takes place, and consequently this strand (1 is extended from the point. of the hook rearwardly between the needles to the last needle loop formed in the fabric and the strand is taut at this time. The needles then begin to descend,
and. the hook begins to move rearwardly.
As the needles descend, a portion of the right hand needle thread extending from the last named loop in the fabric to the needle eye, is freed from strain. This strand (5 also begins to lose its tautness, and immediately after the points of the needles have passed below this strand 0. said strand becomes more or less flexible or loose. Consequently this strand (l is liable to move rearwardly as far as the last named needle loop. The portion of the needle thread extending rearwardly and downwardly from the eye of the right hand needle is liable to retain this rearwardly bowed cross thread a and retain it at a point in rear of the right hand needle so far, back that the hook 12 on its forward movement is liable to skip entirely this strand. in other words, the angle of inclination of the section a of the cross thread is changed, and to such extent that the hook is liable to pass it without. en gaging it. lt will therefore be seen that the longer the stitch, the farther in rear of the right hand needle the rear or left hand end of the strand (4 is liable to be positioned. The positioning finger above described is located in rear of the righthand needle. The forward edge 163 as above noted is vertically inclined, adjacent its top portion as at 165, so that as the needles move clownwardly, the right hand needle thread will Said screw passes through a slot 19 which rection.
in the path of the strand extendmg fromforce the strand a downwardly between the finger 163 and the right'hand needle, which determines the placing of the extreme rear portion of the strand a where it is attached to the fabric at a definite position regardless of the length of feed and thus said strand (1 is disposed at the proper angle of inclination so that the hook 12 will with certainty engage the same. This positioning finger, together with the arm 16 serves as a positive means for positioning the cross thread so that the hook 12 will engage the same with certainty regardless of the length of the feed.
Also associated with the cross thread laying hook 12 is a strand positioning member 17. Said strand positioning member 17 is secured by a screw 18 to the presser foot.
is elongated, so that this thread positioning device may be adpisted in an endw se dr Said thread positioning device lies the thread arm 16 to the forked end of the thread hook 12. As thehook moves to its forward position as clearly shown in Fig. 2, this strand 0 is carried against this thread positioning device 17 and insures that the section of the strand 0 between this posi.
tioning device and the thread arm 16 will lie between the path of the needles 6 and 7 and this causes the needle 6 to enter the 100p formed in the cross thread by the thread hook, while the needle 7 passes outside of the loop. By adjusting the thread positioning member 17, the placing of the thread a may be varied, and it will be noted that the placing of the thread between the needles is brought about by this positioning device 17 and not by the thread hook. The thread hook therefor may swing about the center of the presser bar and very close to the path of the needles. It would be practically impossible to so position the thread hook without this positioning device for the thread strand 0''. This cross thread not only connects the needle threads on the upper face of the fabric, but covers the edge of the material.
Associated with this overseaming mechanism, and located in advance thereof, are trimming devices, one of whlch is indicated at 20 in the drawlngs. This trimming devlce 20 reciprocates vertically and operates to The trimming device 20 is 10-* single line of double chain stitches. It will be noted that both the loopers 11 and 22 move in a direction at right angles to the line of feed. The fabric is fed underneath the presser foot 9 by means of the feed dog 23. This needle 8 is slightly in rear of the needles 6 and 7 and also slightly at one side thereof. The seam produced with my machine is indicated in Fig. 5 in the drawings, whereinthe threads of the needles 6 and '7 are indicated at a and b, respectively, and the thread of the needle 8 is indicated at d. The cross thread is indicated at c. It will be noted that the edges of the fabric sections are trimmed and covered'by the overseaming stitches formed by the needles 6 and 7 and their cooperating devices. This forms a very durable and efficient covering for the trimmed edges. It will also be noted that there is a straight line of stitches formed by the needle 8 which makes a very strong, non-ravelling stitch connection for the fabric sections. This seam forms no part of the present invention, but is shown, described and claimed in my copending application, Serial Number 318,702, filed August 20, 1919. I
By means of the associated elements pointedout above, whereinthe trimmer may be placed close to the needles of the overseaming mechanism, and the needle of the straight line stitching mechanism is in rear and close to the overseaming needles, I am able to stitch curves and around corners, and this is brought about particularly by the placing of the needle of the straight line stitching in rear of the needles of the overseaming mechanism, and the construction of the thread layingdevices so that the trimming devices may be placed very close in front of the needles. To form. a proper seam, the trimmed edge must pass between the needles and close to the outer needle, and in stitching around curves or corners, this can only be accomplished where the trimming mechanism is very close to the front of the needles of the overseaming stitching mechanism.
It is obvious that minor changes in details of construction may be made'without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
