- FIG. 7 is a front elevation of a second form chine shuttles and the driving. thereof and is par of ,shuttle and its driving means; I ticularly but by no means exclusively, concerned Figure 8 is a frontelevation on a reduced scale" withrotary shuttles ffor lockstitch shoe outsole of theshuttle shown in Figure 7 and means for sewingmachines, examples of which are dislimiting rotary movementof a bobbingcase ass0 5 closed ingthe U; ,S.
- afree pas- Figure 16 is a 'perspective viewof a portiorioi 1.3 sageof the loop round the'shuttle without twistcthe bobbin caseshown in Figures-13 l4 and 15, 26
- FIG. 1 is a frontelevation of one form of formed. on a plate 6 fixed to a shuttle-carrying shuttle, its driving means and a work support bracket-'Ifixed on the machine frame.
- the plate I and needle of an outsole shoe sewing machine .6 may, for'purposes of assembly be formed in 40 whiclnexcept as otherwise.indicated, will be asthree separate p -v e Shuttle asing 1 has 40 sumed to be generally as described in said Britformed on it a beak 8, part of which isformed on ish Specification No.
- Figure 5 is ,a plan view 'of the bobbin case Byreason of this comparatively wide beak the shown in Figure 4; w f loop of needle thread slips readilyalongthebeak Figure 6 is a right-hand side elevation of said and is easily spreadsufliciently to allow theloop bobbin case; to pass, overthe shuttle casing.
- the wide beak may be much shorter than one which as commonly used comes to a sharp point and because of this shorter beak, time may be saved in passing the loop over the shuttle casing, which saved time may be used in allowing more time for other parts of the machine to operate in the working cycle of the machine.
- the shuttle casing l is driven by adriving member 13 extending froma disc 14 fixedto a gear 15 rotatably mounted in the bracket 7.
- the gear 15 is driven by a gear 16 having extending from it a shaft 17, rotatably mounted in the bracket 7, and having fixed to it a disc'l8 which has fixed in it a crank-pin 19.
- the crank pin 19 has pivoted on it one end of a link 20, the other end of which is pivoted on a crank-pin 21 fixed in a crank-arm 22.
- the crank-arm 22 has extending from it a shaft 23'rotatably mounted in the machine frame and driven in any suitable manner from the driving shaft of the machine.
- Theshaft 23 is driven at such a speed that the shuttle makes two revolutions in each cycle of the machine and the relatively offset shafts 1'7; 23 crank pins 19,21 and link are so arranged that the'speed of the shuttle casing 1 is increased as the loop of needle thread ispassed over the shuttle casing so that it then travels-at a speed equal to about three revolutions ofthe shuttle casing in each cycle of the' machine.
- the speeding up' of the shuttle casing as above describedensur'e sa rapid passage of the needle thread over the shuttle casing, thereby allowing more time inthe' cycle of the machine for other parts to function and allows the speed of the machine tobe increased without unduly increasing'the shuttle speed (with consequent risk of wear) throughout the cycle.
- the slowing down of the shuttle-casing driving member 13 occurs after the needle loop has passed over the top of the shuttle casing and results in the shuttle casing l by reason of its momentum over-running the driving member until the bottom part or root 210 of the beak 8 engages the end 24 of the driving member 13 A gap is then momentarily left between the end 25 of the driving member 13 and the face 26 on the shuttle casing through which gap the needle loop passes quite freely as it is pulled down by the take-up of the machine.
- the bobbin case 30, shown in Figures 4; 5, and 6, has, formed in it a stem 31 on which the bobbin 3 2 is rotatably mounted.
- the bobbin case has in it a hole 33 through which the thread.
- Thebobbin thread passes from'the hole 33 along agroovefl34 formed in the bobbin case and in this groove is slidingly mounted a block'35 having projecting upwardly'from it a guide pin 36 which enters a guide recess 3'7 in the bobbin case.
- a spring 38 urges the block towards the bottom ofthe groove 34 and causes the blockto exert a tension on the bobbin thread.
- the groove 34' is only just large enough to receive thebobbin threadand between the inner end of the block 35 and the bottom of the groove 34 there is, in effect, formed a hole through which the thread passes and this hole prevents the thread from being unduly distorted by the pressure of the block 35.
- the pressure of the block 35 against the thread may be adjusted by moving the legs 39, 39 of the spring inwardly or outwardly in their holes 40, 40 in thebobbin case.
- the legs 39, 39 are slightly bent so that when pushed into the holes 40, 40 they bind on the sides of the holes and are thus held in adjusted position.
- the bobbin thread After passing along the groove 34 the bobbin thread passes through a hole 41 in the bobbin case and emerges from the front wall 42 of the bobbin case.
- the bobbin case 30 is carried in a recess 43 .ir rthe shuttle casing 1 and is ro-tatably mounted on a pin 44 extending from the part 3 of the shuttle casing and entering a bore in the stem 31.
- the axis of the recess 43 and pin 44 is offset about three-thirty-seconds of an inch from the axis of the shuttle casing.
- Rotary movement of the bobbin case 30 is limited by the engagement of aconical projection 45 on thebobbin case with one side or the other of a recess 46 in an arm 47 which is hired to a stud 48 pivoted in a lug 49 projecting from the bracket 7; Also fixed to the stud 48 is a hand lever 50 by which the arm 47 may be swung away from in front of'the shuttle casing to allow the bobbin case to be withdrawn.
- the rotation of the shuttle casing 1 tends,- through thefriction between the pin 44 and the stem 31 of the bobbin case 30, to rotate the bobbin case in the same direction as the shuttle. This tendency keeps the length of thread between the hole 41 in the bobbin case and thework more or less taut.
- the projection 45 is, by reasonof the eccentricity of the pin 44,- moved in substantially an elliptical path.
- the arrangement is such that when the loop of needle thread is being pulled down past the projection 45; the projection is about midway between the sides of the recess 46 and the loop of needle thread has a perfectly clear passage between the projection 45 and arm 4'7. .
- the projection 45 is pulled up by the pull on the shuttle thread against the upper side of the recess46.
- the lower wall of the recess 46 is not engaged by the projection 45 during rotation of the shuttle casing and only acts in generally positioning the bobbin casewhen the machine'is at rest or if the thread should break.
- the arm 4'7 has fixed to it a clip 51 behind which the loose end of the shuttle thread may be placed after a length of sewing hasbeen completed and the threads cutoff, and anchored while the first stitch or first few stitches of a'freshlength of sewing are made.
- An adjustable screw 52 is threaded throughthe arm' 47 and engages the plate 6 to position the arm 47 in relation to the projection 45, it being understood th tsui'table latchingmeans is provided for holding the arm 47 in adjusted position.
- the said second form ofshuttle shown in Figures '7 to 16 of the accompanying drawings comprises a shuttle casing composedof two parts'fil and 62 fixed together and formed with an undercut guideway 63 between them, which receives a fianged guide 64 formed on a plate 65 fixed to a shuttle carrying bracket 66 fixed to the machine frame.
- the plate 65 may be made in three parts, for purposes of assembly, if desired.
- the shuttle casing 60 has formed on it a beak 67 ireely enters a recess in the shuttle casingfiO 67 part or which is'formedon am part 61 and '62.
- The-beak 67-, -6'7 is similar in shape and action in the loopof 1 needle thread from the needle-and the-threadlifter to'the beak 8 in the first form of shuttle described above;
- rounded end 68 of the plate likewiseensures that'the-loop of needle thread shall pass down the inner face 69 0i the beak to its root.
- Theshuttleflcasing 60' is driven -by"a' driving member'"70 extending from a disc '71 formed on the-end of a shaft "72 rotatably mounted in the bracket-'66 andin the machine frame.
- the shaft 72 has -fixed on it towards its rear end a crankcycle of the machine and, the relatively offset" shafts 72, '78 crank pins 74, 76 and link are arranged-in a similar manner and for the same purpose as the corresponding parts in the first form or shuttle and its driving mechanism hereinbefore described.
- the bobbin case80 of thesecond formvoi shuttle shown in Figuresliiyla and 15 has in ita stem 81 on'which the bobbin is rotatably mounted.
- the thread from the ;b0bbin passes through a; hole 82 in the bobbin case and then round aorounded'corner 83 beneath a ledge 84 and along a groove185:
- Thegroove 85 leads to arhole86 in'a nose 8'7 formed on the bobbin case out of which the thread passes;
- the hole-82 is positioned in thebobbin" case 80"so as to give the best'lead'of the thread from 'thebobbin to the hole'irrespective. of whether ther'thread; is
- the .nose 8'1 delivers theithread beyond the path or movement of Vtheibeak 6'7, 6'7 of the shuttle and as close as 'is convenient to the'work.
- the shuttle thread is thus wellacontrolled and 'thepossibility of the position of the shuttle thread passing between the shuttle and the work becoming caught by the beak or becoming cold if V the shuttle is heatedand awaxed thread isbeing usedr'iszminimized; o I .o 1;; q
- The-shuttle thread as itvpasses along thegroove SS-onthebobbin-case '80 is tensioned bythe end of :a slide 106, mountedin a guidewayformed' in theQbobbin case 80a :The end of the slide 1 06 where it engagesthe thread extends partly'over ,the thread andwith the groove .85' forms prace tic'ally a hole through which the thread passes.
- Thethread is in this way prevented from being unduly flattened by the-pressure of the slide 106.
- the slide- is urged towards the thread by a spring 107,. the legs ofiwhich enter holes 108., 108,:in' the case;
- the legs of the spring are curved slightly so that they tend-to bind in the holes and their position along the holes-may be varied to vary the pressureof the spring;
- the pin'88 is coaxial with the recess in the shuttle'casing and with'the 'axis of the shuttle casing.
- the member90 is fixed to an arm 111 fixed toashaft 92 r-otatably mounted in bearings 93; 93 on the shuttle carrying bracket'66'.
- lever 97' is swung in an anti-clockwise direction the lockingv action of the periphery 100 and arm 94 is first. released; then the: pin 101 engagesa" curved part 104: of the member '95 and through the member rotates thesh'aft 92 and-swings the member 90' upwardly away from the bobbin case 80.
- ZThepin- 101 rotates the member 9 5until the roundedgend 105'of thearm 94 and the recess 99in :the disc 98 engage and continue therotation of the shaft 92 until the hand lever 9'7, engages one ofthe bearings 93 when the parts are in'the position shown in Figure 12.
- the member 90 is raised so that the bobbin case 30 can be withdrawn from the shuttle casing 60, and is held inthis position by the engagement ,of the arm 94 with the periphery of the disc,98;, Asthe hand-lever 97 is returned to the position shownin Figure'll the member 90 either the axis goi thepin 88 at substantially right answings down to its operative positionby itsown o gles vto the length of the groove andis, there- 7' fore, moving in the most favourable direction to separate the projection and groove if these are incontact; vThe friction between thepin 88 and the bore in; the bobbin case 80 tends to turn the bobbincase in an anti-clockwise direction (viewed from theiront) but this tendency isto a certain extent; overcome by the weight of the 'nose 87 and there is littleresistance to the passage of the needle thread between the projection 89 and groove91i, 1 g o M Fixed on .the member 9 0,is /a guard
- Figures 8 andlO is arranged to guidethe loop of needle thread as it is pulled down after passing over the bobbin case towards the shuttle thread where it extends upwardly from the work and to prevent the loop of needle thread from being caught on a projecting portion of the work or, for instance, on a tack projecting from the work and being prevented thereby from being pulled into the work.
