12 Claims. 7 (01. 112 -230 This invention relates to improvements in loop-takers for sewing machines-and more particularly to the type of loop-taker i having a thread-case journaled in a raceway. I I
One of the objects of his invention is to provide an improved raceway for the thread-case which will yield outwardly or in a' plane at right angles to the axis of movement of the 'loopetaker in the event that thread or other foreign material is caught in the raceway.
" With the above and othenobjects in view, as will hereinafter appear, the-invention comprises the devices, combinations andiarrangementsof parts hereinafter set forthand illustrated in-the accompanying drawingsof a' preferred embodiment of the inventiomffrom which. the several features of the invention and the'advantages attained thereby *will 'be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
g In the drawing: *{Figure-l is atop loop-taker.
Figure 2 is a side elevation partly in section, the section being-' -takensubstantially along the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are side elevations, and Figure 5 is a disassembled perspective view of the component parts of the loop-seizing member.
In the embodiment of this invention selected for illustration, I is the well-known vertical-axis loop-taker driving shaft which has fixed to its upper end the usual cup-shaped loop-taker body 2 which is formed with a gap 2 and a flange 3'having one of its ends terminating in a loop-seizing beak 4 and its other end terminating in a vertical wall 5. The loop-taker body 2 is provided with a bearing seat 6 for the bearing rib l of the usual thread-case 8 having a finger 53 engaging the usual rotation restraining bar Ii]. Fixed to the loop-taker body 2 by the pivot-pin I I is an arcuate member I2 having a dependingstud plan view 1 of my improved I3 which is adapted to enter the peripheral opening I3 formed in the hook-body 2. The arcuate member I2 andflange 3 together form a continuous circular flange on theihook-body, the 7 member l2 being, in effect, a section of theflange; A fiat spring I4, forming a needle-guard, has'one of its ends fixed to the loop-taker body '2 by means of the screws I5 and bridgesthe ap 2 of the hook-body adjacent the loop-seizing beak. The free end of the needle-guard It extends over the stud I3 and is held against sidewise movement by the ribs I6 formed on the loop-taker body 2. A cover-ring formed in two sections I8 andv I8 prevents vertical movement of the thread-case 8'in the loop-taker body." The section 58 is fixed to the flange 3 by means of the screws I9 and extends over "the vertical wall 5 oithe flange 3 thus serving to hold one end of the arcuate member against the lcop-taker-body. The other 55 section I8 is fixedto the arcuate member I2 by means ofvthe screws 20.3 1 y Itwill be evident to .those skilled in the 'art that the free end" of the arcuate member" I2 is yieldingly'urged towards the loop-taker body by 10 means lofthe flat spring or resilientneedleeguard I4 and that this member I2 will yield outwardly in .the event that thread" or other foreign "material is caught between'the' bearing rib I ofithe threa'd-case'and thezwall of the arcuate member l5 I2. It will also be evident that thread caught between the-flange 3 on the hook-body and the bearing .rib' i of the thread-case will shiftthe thread-caselaterally or in a plane at right angles to the axis of rotation ofi1the hook, the yielding 20 arcuate member I2 permittingthe shifting movementofthe thread-case. 1
