  • Figures'l and 2 show at 1 the front part of the armfand at 2 the front part of the table or work plate of the machine, the general arrangement of which is similar to that of an ordinary sewing-machine.
  • I Figures 1 and 3 also show the fabric feeding device 3 supported by the feed slide 27, itself operated by driving means well known in similar machines and in sewing machines, but not here shown for greater clearness.
  • a presser-foot 4 having two articulated and compensated branches 5 and 6, carries the two presser shoes 7 and 8, which press the fabric down upon the feed dogs 3a and 4a of the feeding device 3.
  • the presser foot 4 is supported by the presser bar 9 which is pushed downwardly by the spring 10, the pressure of which is adjustable by the milled head nut, 11. This arrangement is moreover well known in itself. 91
  • the thread-drawing tool12 consisting of a saw-toothed spear or blade is fixed by the screw 13 in the rod 14, the movementof which I is effected by the group formed by the crankdisc 15,"connecting rod 16 and attachment 17 1 the whole being driven from the main shaft 18 according to a well known movement in sewing machines and the like.
  • a second presser foot 19, which may be fitted with a conical or other rubber pad 196 is supported by the rod 20 and pressed against the fabric by the spring 21, of which the pressure is regulated by the milled-head nut 22.
  • This second presser foot the essential object of which is to maintain the fabric well stretched at the moment of its perforation by the thread-drawing tool, is lifted automatical- 1y at the time of the fabric feed, this lift being effected by the cam 23 mounted on the mam shaft 18 and actuating the bell-crank 24, which pivots 011 the pin 24a and of which the arm 25 thus causes the lifting of the presser-foot 19 by the intermediary of the ring or fork 26.
  • This mechanism consists essentially of a knife 30 fixed by the screw 31 to a supporting disc 32, which is subjected both to a movement of rotation around its axis 38 and to a reciprocating movement up and down, effected as will be hereafter explained.
  • the knife 30, in the course of a complete revolution in the direction of the arrow F, passes below the feed dog 3a of the feeding device 3, and then, as it rises, comes into contact with a slightly flexible stationary or ledger blade 33, fixed to the table of the mar chine by the screw 28.
  • the plate 3a upon Which the fabric rests and in which are formed the slots for the passage of the feed dogs 3a and 3b.
  • the plate 33 shown in Figure 3, is provided with a slot 35 for the passage of the thread-drawing tool 12, and is bevelled or tapered off at its flexible end 37.
  • the reciprocating up and down. movement of the cutter knife 30 serves in the first place to permit this knife to pass freely under the dog 366 of the feeding device, which obviates any need of shifting the dog 3a towards the left of Figure 1, which would either destroy the symmetry of the feeding device or necessi-' tate shifting the other feed dog and thereby giving the two branches of the feeding device an excessively wlde separation.
  • this up and down movement permits the cutter knife to come tightly against the plate 33.
  • the cutter knife 30 travels horizontally, pressing against the stationary ledger blade 33 and thus producing a scissors-like cut against the bevelled cutting edge 35a of this ledger blade.
  • the height of the rising movement of the disc is adjustable, and consequently it is possible, after.resharpening of the knife to take up the wear thereof by varying the adjustment of this height.
  • a suitable operating mechanism may be arranged in the following manner, given by way of ex ample :-The shaft 38 supporting the disc is mounted in a sleeve or socket 39, along which it can slide, while being driven in its rotation by means of two screw heads l0 and 41, which engage respectively in the slots 4.2 and .3 formed for this purpose in the socket 39.
  • This socket revolves in a housing it, in which it is held endwise by its operating pinion and the ring or collar 1-8.
  • the pinion 45 is driven by a pinion at, the movement of which, imparted by the shaft -l8, is obtained from the main shaft 18 of the machine by a suitable transmission not shown).
  • the proportion of this transmission and of the gear pinions 47 and 45 is so determined that the socket 39 makes one complete revolution for one complete revolution of the shaft 18.
  • the shaft 38 is provided at its lower end with a cylindrical box cam 19, secured in place thereon by the set screw 50, of which the point engages in a longitudinal groove in the shaft 38.
  • This cam imparts to the shaft 38, in the course of its rotation, the alternating up and down movement previously described, by the aid of the roller 51 mounted rotatablv on the screw pin 52, this latter being mounted. in a fixed support 52a.
  • the adjustment for height of the knife. which has already been mentioned. can be given by way of example in the following: manner :-The lower end of the shaft 38 is screw-threaded to take a nut 53 with a milled periphery, which is rendered fast as to height with the cam 49 by the teuons 5i and .7 once the screw is loosened, the nut enables this cam to be adjusted relatively to the shaft 38, thereby altering the height of the disc 32.
  • the pointed set screw 50 serves then in the present instance only for the locking of this adjusting device.
  • the cutter knife is passing below the feed do 7 3a, but as soon as thevthread drawing too passes out again above the fabric,'the knife 30comcs round to the ledger blade 33 and cuts the threads drawn out and turned down by the tool 12, in the manner above explained.
  • the housing 44 comprises a guard 56 intended to protect the driving gears from the waste produced by the cutting of the threads.
  • a machine for drawing threads from a fabric which comprises in combination, a work plate, meansfor holding the fabric against said plate, a thread drawing tool adapted to reciprocate in a directionat right angles to said plate for drawing the threads below said plate, a knife disposed below said plate with its edge parallel to said plate adapted to rotate about an axis at right angles to said plate and means for rotating said knife about said axis.
