Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to sewing machines, and is particularly, but by no means exclusively, concerned with machines suitable for sewing together the parts of suit cases, attach cases or the like.
  • a small tablet or roll which is of a cylindrical shape and is arranged to engage the two parts of the case or the like being sewn together and to press them against the mutually perpendicular faces of the work support, one of the two parts of the case being pressed against one face of the work support by the peripheral surface of the roll, and the other part being pressed against the other face of the work support by the rearward end face of the roll.
  • Such an arrangement has proved to be generally satisfactory in use.
  • the corner formed between the peripheral surface of the said roll and its rear end face is allowed to remain substantially square or is only slightly bevelled or rounded off there arises a serious danger that, particularly when working on thin work in which the needle and awl strike through the parts of the case into the interior of the latter, the awl and needle in passing through the work close to the corner formed between the two parts of the case will strike against the roll, thereby mutilating the latter and possibly causing breakage of the needle and awl.
  • the corner between the periphery of the roll and its rear end face is substantially bevelled or rounded off, the effective Work-engaging areas of the rear end face of the roll and of its periphery are substantially reduced, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the control by the roll of the parts being sewn together.
  • the roll should not be of unduly large diameter.
  • the external work support may be adjusted angularly to vary the direction of the path of the needle and awl through the work and thereby vary the angle, relatively to the two parts being sewn together, at which the seam which unites the two parts will extend through them.
  • No means for adjusting the horn device angularly in accordance with adjustment of the angular position of the work support, to allow the horn device properly to enter and engage the work whatever the angular position of the work support, is however described in that specification, the universal mounting of the tablet on the horn being relied on to deal with changes in position of the work support.
  • a horn device having a work-engaging tablet or roll of the type referred to in the prior specification above mentioned is not particularly well suited for incorporation in a machine in which the work is fed through the machine while the work-engaging roll is pressing against the work since the friction between the two parts of the work being sewn together and the work-engaging faces of the roll is likely to be so great as to drag the horn laterally with the work against the action of one of the centralizing spring plungers with which such a horn device is provided.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a work-engaging horn which, while able to move laterally against spring pressure and while giving adequate support to the work during the sewing operation will, nevertheless, be of such a construction that the work can be fed through the machine while the horn is engaging it firmly without danger that friction between the work and the horn will cause the latter to move with the work during its feeding movements.
  • Such an arrangement will assist in allowing the machine to run smoothly at a high speed since, except when sewing an end corner, no. movement of the horn device will take place along the line of feed and, therefore, no vibration will be set up in the machine due to movement of the horn device in this direction.
  • Figure 1 is a right hand side elevation showing sufiicient of the head of the illustrative embodiment to allow its construction to be fully understood;
  • Figure 3 is a right hand side elevation, on an enlarged scale of certain parts associated with adjusting mechanism for an external work support of the illustrative embodiment
  • Figure 4 is a detail view showing certain parts associated with actuating mechanism for a work entering horn.
  • Figure 5 is a plan View showing certain further parts for adjusting the external work support.
  • the illustrative embodiment will be considered as forming part of a sewing machine having stitch forming instrumentalities which are similar to and are arranged to be operated in sub- "stantially the same time-relation as the stitch forming instrumentalities of the machine disclosed in the specification of co-pending application of Gouldbourn, Kestell and Keall Serial No. 688,480, filed September 7, 1933.
  • the work feed- 4 ing instrumentalities of the machine of the present illustrative embodiment are, as
  • the work feeding instrumentalities of the ma' chine disclosed in the prior application just referred to comprise a work table which is moved to and fro in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis andacooperating work gripping presser foot which is mounted on the work table and moves with the latter to assist in feeding the work.
  • the said work table and presser are done away with in the machine of the present illustrative embodiment and an external work-support l for a case or the like having two work engaging faces arranged at right angles to each other, and somewhat similar to that referred to as 28 in the patent to Ricks and Reid No. 1,695,718 dated December 18, 1928, is mounted in the machine and is arranged to be moved along the line of feed (i. e.
  • the external work support is coupled by suitable connections indicated generally at 3 in Figures 1 and 2 to a cam operated lever 5 which is arranged to be actuated by a cam '5 mounted on the horizontal main shaft 9 of the machine.
  • This cam causes each work feeding movement of the external work support I to extend evenly throughout a portion of'the machine cycle during which the main shaft of the machine is rotating through the line of feed to impart to the work feeding movements additional .to those imparted to it by the external work support in such a manner that the work is moved continuously, as opposed to intermittently through the machine by the combined feeding actions of the'external work support and the needle and awl.
  • the needle and awl which remain always in one and the same plane, are carried by segments of usual shape which .are coupled to an axially movable shaft indicated at 15 in Figure 2 which is supported in fixed bearings behind, and slightly higher than, the external work support and extends transversely of the machine, 1. e.
  • the shaft i5 is coupled at its left hand end by a series of links indicated generally at i? to a cam-actuated lever, not shown, which is actuated by a cam secured on a vertical cam shaft near the left hand side of the machine head.
  • This latter cam causes the needle and awl to move along the line of feed throughout about one hundred and eighty-five degrees of each machine cycle, the feeding movements of the external work support and of the needle and awl taking place at the same speed and overlapping to some extent.
  • the external work support When the external work support has finished its work feeding movement in each cycle, it is returned during the remainder of the cycle to its original position to resume immediately another work feeding movement and, as the external work support is thus moved, the feeding movement of the work is continued by the awl which will be extending through the work at this time.
  • the needle and awl are moved idly back- 'wards along the'line of feed to their original positions preparatory to moving forward once more with the external work support and the work.
  • the means for imparting to the needle and awl their work feeding movements is so arranged that, whatever the length of stitch being made, the needle and awl, at the end of each work feeding movement, reach a constant position close against the right hand side of a rotary shuttle is so that a thread lifter also positioned close to the right hand side of the shuttle can engage the loop of needle thread taken up through the work by the needle to spread the loop so that the beak 2! of the shuttle can enter the loop to lift it out of the needle barb and pass it over the shuttle for the formation of a stitch.
  • the horn aforementioned is arranged to extend inside a case or the like supported on the external work support I aforementioned.
  • This horn, indicated at 23, is curved and is generally similar in its shape and somewhat similar in its mounting on the machine to the horn referred to as l in Patent No. 1,695,? 18 above referred to, that is to say, that the horn has three limbs similar to those referred to as '7, 8, and 9 in the prior specification last mentioned and is secured to the lower end of a spindle 25, which spindle is freely rotatable in an upwardly extending bearing 2's.
  • the bearing 2! is freely pivoted on two axially aligned pins 29 lying perpendicular to the bearing 2? and extending forwardly and rearwardly of the machine.
  • the pins 29 are secured in the forward and rearward sides of a ring 3! which ring is itself pivoted on two laterally extending pins 33 secured in the forward ends of rearwardly extending arms 35 hereinafter more particularly referred to.
  • the work engaging portion of the horn 23 instead of comprising a tablet or roll which is universally mounted on the lower end of the horn as is the case in the arrangement disclosed in Patent No. 1,695,718 comprises two small frusto-conical rolls 3'! and 39 (see particularly Figure 3) secured on the opposite ends of an upwardly extending pin 4! freely rotatable in the lower end of the horn.
  • the external lower end of the horn is flattened, as indicated in Figure 1 to a thickness of about three sixteenths of an inch and a width of about five eighths of an inch, and this flattened portion extends more or less horizontally in a direction almost to bisect the angle formed between the two work engaging faces of the external work support.
  • the said freely rotatable pin ill on which the two frustoconical rolls 3'! and 39 are secured is so positioned in the end portion of the horn that it is coaxial with the axis of the spindle 25 aforesaid on which the horn is supported and about the axis of which the horn can be swung from side to side as required during the sewing operation. Since the freely rotatable pin ll and the spindle 25 are coaxial, swinging movement of the horn about the axis of the spindle 25 will not cause any disturbance in the position of the frusto-conical rolls 3?, 39 relatively to the external work-support l.
  • the conical faces of both rolls are inclined at an angle of forty five degrees to their bases and the conical face of the upper roll 37 at its extreme rear side lies always parallel to the upstanding work engaging face 43 of the external work support l, while the conical face of the lower roll 39 at its extreme rear side lies parallel with the lower Work engaging face 45 of the external work support.
  • the rear sides of the two rolls will serve to press the work firmly against the two mutually perpendicular faces of the external work support.
  • the two rolls are spaced apart along the pin so that their bases are about a quarter of an inch apart (i. e.
  • the diameter of the base of the upper roll 3? is about three quarters of an inch and this roll is about a quarter of an inch thick, while the diameter of the base of the lower roll is about seven eighths of an inch and this roll is sli htly greater than a quarter of an inch in thickness.
  • carrying the rolls to the extreme rear end of the portion of the horn which extends between the rolls is about five sixteenths of an inch so that the rear sides of the conical faces of the rolls extend rearwardly of the shroud the end of the horn from contact with the work.
  • the end portion of the horn extends in a direction almost to bisect the angle between the two work engaging faces of the external support, it does not, in fact, normally bisect this angle, but extends in a direction parallel to but slightly higher than a line bisecting this angle so that it lies slightly further from that part of the work supported on the lower face 55 of the external work support than from that part of the work supported against the upwardly extending face 53 of the work support.
  • This arrangement allows the roll 39 on the lower end of the freely rotatable pin ll to be of a somewhat larger diameter than the roll 3'!
  • the larger lower roll 39 will, since it has a wider work engaging face than the upper roll extend somewhat closer to the apex of the angle formed between the inner faces of the two parts being sewn together than will the smaller upper roll, but as the awl and needle rock about the axis of the shaft 55 which is positioned at a somewhat higher level in the machine than the apex of the said angle, the point of the awl will be somewhat further rearwardly in the machine as it reaches the level of the base of the lower roll than it will be as it reaches the level of the base of the upper roll, as indicated by the dash and dot line X in Figure 3 which shows the path of the awl through the external work support and, therefore, a somewhat larger lower roll canbe used with advantage.
  • the work is arranged to be fed through the machine in a continuous manner by the cooperation of the'external work support and the needle and awl. It is desirable that the work-engaging rolls 3'! and 39 shall, during the feeding of the work through the machine, always occupy such a constant position along the line of feed that they will press the work against the work support substantially in that region through which the awl will rise in piercingthe work, preparatory to its moving with the work towards the shuttle and thread lifter, in order to overcome the tendency of the work to 'rise away from the work support as the awl pierces it.
  • the pins 29 aforementioned are so positioned laterally of the machine that their common axis is offset to the right, from the position which the needle will occupy when it is close to the shuttle ready for the thread lifter to engage the loop of thread carried up by the needle barb, a distance equal to the length of an average stitch (i. e. some three-sixteenths of an inch).
  • the action of the moving work on the horn is sufiicient to cant the horn in a clockwise direction, as seen in Figure 2 about the axis of the pins 29.
  • the extent of this canting movement of the horn is, however, limited by adjustable spring pressed plunger ll positione-cl at the right hand side of the bearing 21 for the horn and carried by .an upwardly extending bracket 59 fast on the ring 3
  • the plunger 4? is arranged to be so adjusted that when the horn bearing 27 iscaused to abut lightly against 'it by the canting of the horn due to the action of the moving work on the rolls 37,39. the latter will be positioned directly over that region of the work through which the awl will strike in piercing the work when stitches of average as it is being turned on its corner.
  • sprin pressed plunger provides in effect a positive stop to ensure that the rolls 3T, 39 will remain in a predetermined position during the feed- 7 ing of the work.
  • the plunger 41 is acted on a spring the compression of which may be adjusted, by a knurled stud 53.
  • the plunger, spring and stud are all carried in a sleeve 55 which is threaded into the bracket 49 and may be rotated to adjust the plunger towards or away from the horn bearing 21 to vary the extent of the canting movement of the horn effected by the moving work and thereby to vary the position laterally of the machine which the rolls 31, 39 normally occupy during the operation of the machine in order that the axis of the rolls may lie in the same plane considered forwardly and rearwardly of the machine, as the awl when the latter pierces the work whatever length of stitch is being made.
  • the horn of the present illustrative machine'can to facilitate sewing roundv a right hand corner, be swung further in a clockwise direction (compressing the spring 5i behind the plunger 41) to allow the rolls 31, 39 to be moved sufiiciently far towards the left past the position close to the shuttle which the needle will occupy in serving around a right hand corner, to enable a stitch to be made through the work close to the right hand, wall of the corner.
  • two hand levers indicated at 5'! in Figure 2 are provided either of which may be moved to render the mechanism for imparting work feeding movements to the needle and awl and to the external work support, inoperative.
  • the mechanism for imparting the work feeding movements to the needle, awl and external work support is of such a nature that, when it is rendered inoperative, the needle is automatically brought to the position close to the shuttle in which the thread lifter will be able to lift from it the loop of thread taken up through the work byit, and the awl will, of course, be in an alignment with the needle.
  • the feeding movements of the work are cut out in the illustrative machine by means of one of the hand levers 51 to enable a stitch to be sewn in the corner, it is at a least desirable that the work-engaging rolls 31,
  • a movable abutment 59 mounted on a pivot pin SI, carried by the ring 3
  • a rocking lever 63 (see particularly Figure l) which is mounted on a pin 55 hereinafter referred to, the forward end of this lever carrying an adjustable stop screw B'I which is arranged to lie beneath the underside of a lug 69 on the abutment 59 and the rear end of the lever being con nected by a link 'II to one arm of a bell crank lever E3, the other arm of which carries two laterally extending pins 15 spaced apart somewhat.
  • the two hand levers 5! by which the feed is adjusted are coupled to a vertical shaft I!
  • the exact position to which the rolls 3'5, 39 are moved by the adjustment of the hand lever 51 may be controlled by heightwise adjustment of the adjustable stop screw Bl which determines the extent of rocking movement of the abutment 59 imparted to it by the movement of the lever 63.
  • the work-engaging rolls 3'3, '59 may, assuming the feed not to have been'completely cut out at this time, be urged towards the right away from in front of the needle before the machine is started into operation once more by pressing the said end wall of the case against them, the horn pivoting idly meanwhile about the pins 29.
  • the abutment 59 which is provided with an adjustable stud 83 which bears upon one of the arms 35 hereinbefore referred to.
  • the upper end of the abutment may be caused to approach or recede from the horn bearing 21 and therefore to limit the extent of swinging movement of the horn, thereby controlling the distance from the end wall of the case at which the awl and needle will pierce the work for the formation of the first stitch.
  • the horn of the present illustrative machine is arranged to be urged constantly into engagement with work supported on the external work support at all times, the horn being urged relatively lightly against the work except at the times when the awl pierces it and at these times the pressure of the horn on the work is increased to prevent the work rising from the external work support under the piercing action of the rising awl.
  • the ring 3I which carries the horn bearing 2'! has secured to its upwardly extending bracket 49 a downwardly and rearwardly extending arm 35, the rear end of which is connected by a rod 81 to the forward end of a lever 89 which is mounted on a fixed transverse pivot 9
  • a rod 93 couples the lever 89 to a treadle, not shown, and a spring normally acts to lift the treadle and the lever 89 and to urge the horn towards the external work support under relatively light pressure by tilting the ring 3
  • the horn By depressing the said treadle the horn can be caused to move away from the external work support to facilitate the introduction and removal of the work from the machine.
  • the arm 85 has also pivoted on a rotatable pin 95 ( Figure 4) a tubular sleeve 91 which lies by the side of the rod 81.
  • a threaded rod 99 extending upwardly through the sleeve 9'! and the pin 95 has a shoulder IUI which bears on a trunnion I03 carried by the forward end of a short rising and falling lever I05.
  • a sleeve member IIlI is threaded on the rod 99 and a compression spring I99 is housed between a nut on the lower end of the sleeve and the upper end of the tubular sleeve 91 so that as the lever I95 rises, the arm 85 is lifted yieldingly to increase the pressure of the horn on the work.
  • the rising and falling movements of the lever I05 are obtained from a cam-actuated lever I I I which engages a cam on the main horizontal shaft 9, the lever I95 being connected to the lever I II by a rod I I3.
  • the cam which actuates the lever III is so timed in relation to the movements of the sewing instrumentalities as to apply increased pressure to the horn just before the awl commences to pierce the work and to maintain this increased pressure until after the awl has completely pierced the work.
  • the rising and falling lever I95 is freely mounted on an eccentric portion of a transverse pin II5 which is mounted in fixed bearings and carries at its right hand end a small lever I H by which the pin may be rotated to vary the heightwise position of the lever I05 and thus to vary the precise time in the machine cycle at which the trunnion I93 comes into contact with the shoulder IOI to apply the additional pressure to the horn through the spring I99.
  • the small lever II'I carries a stud which moves in an arcuate slot II9 during rotation of the pin H and the lever is arranged to be locked in any position to which it may have been adjusted by a lock nut I2I threaded on said stud.
  • the horn of the illustrative machine is adjustable heightwise of themachine (e. g. to suit work in which the parts being sewn together are of unequal thickness) by rotation of a sleeve nut I23 which is threaded in the horn bearing 2'Iand which bears at its lower end upon a shoulder on the spindle25, and at its upper end against the underside of a balance weight I2'I which is pinned to the spindle 25 and serves to balance the horn about the axis of the pins 33.
  • the horn is however not able to yield heightwise relatively to the bearing 2'I. and is, therefore, not liable to be forced upwardly by the work piercing action of the rising awl.
  • the horn may also conveniently be adjustable to allow the horn always to occupy a constant angular position relatively to the external work support and, moreover, the horn is connected to the external work support so that adjustment of both the horn and the external support can be effected simultaneously.
  • the arms 35 which carry the ring 3
  • the connection between the arms 35 and the'yoke I29 comprises the pin 65 aforementioned, and the connection between the arms and the yoke I3I comprises a pin I31.
  • the yokes I29 and I3I though normally held in a fixed position by clamping means hereinafter described, may be released to allow the horn to be canted upwardly or downwardly by the operator, the yokes pivoting, as the horn is adjusted,
  • the length of the yoke I29 between the axis of the pin 65 and the axis of the shafts I33 is greater than the length of the yoke I 3i between the axis of 'the pin I3? and the axis of the shaft I35 and, as rearward pressure is exerted by the operator on the horn, when the yokes are free to pivot, the axis of 1 the pin 65 will move rearwardly and downwardly in an arc concentric about the axis of the shafts I33 while the pin I31 will move rearwardly and downwardly an equal distance along an arc concentric with the axis of the shaft I35.
  • a rotary hand lever I39 which, upon rotation in a clockwise direction as seen in Figure l, springs slightly towards each other two upstanding lugs I4I on the machine frame through which the shaft I35 passes and between which the yoke I3I fits closely. 'Ihe slight springing together of these lugs causes themto bind on the opposite ends of the yoke and holds it firmly in position against rotation about the shaft I35.
  • the left hand end of the shaft has a head I42 ( Figure 2) formed on it in a notch in which a fixed pin I43 engages.
  • the external work support I is connected to the horn so that when the horn is angularly adjusted in the manner above indicated, the external work is also adjusted in the same sense and to a like extent so that the relative positions of the rolls 37, 39 and the external work support remain unaltered.
  • the work support I has projecting rearwardly from its right hand end an arm I45 which is pivoted on a short transverse pivot pin I41.
  • the left hand end of the work support has a lug projecting rearwardly from it which is pivoted on a pin, not shown, which is coaxial with the pin I41.
  • Each of these two supporting pins for the work support is secured in an ear I49 formed at the upper end of a bracket I53 which projects forwardly from a vertical sleeve I55.
  • Each of the sleeves I55 is mounted on the lower end portion of a vertical shaft I57 positioned in fixed bearings in the machine head. The sleeves are supported on the shafts to impart work feeding movements to the external work support as an arm secured on'the right hand one of the sleeves I55 is oscillated through the members 3, 5 and I, previously indicated.
  • Adjustment of the horn in the manner previously indicated is caused, through the consequent rocking of the yokes I29, I 3! to effect an angular adjustment of the work support I.
  • the right hand one of the two shafts I33 on which the yoke I29 is secured has fixed on it a short rearwardly extending arm it! which carries a pin I53.

  • the rear end of the arm I45 extending from the external work support is flattened, as indicated in Figure 3, and is received between two ears I1I projecting laterally from the block I31.
  • Adjustment of the horn will, therefore, through the connections described with the yoke 29, cause an angular adjustment of the external work support to take place about the pin I41, which adjustment will take place in the same direction as that in which the horn is adjusted, that is to say, that if the horn is adjusted in a direction to cause the pins 33 on which the ring 3i is supported to move in a clockwise direction, as seen in Figure 1, the external work support will also move in a clockwise direction about the axis of the pin I41.

  • Such adjustment of the external work support also causes that part of the work pressed against the upwardly extending face 43 of the work support by the upper roll 31 to swing upwardly and rearwardly somewhat so that the awl emerges from this part of the work further from the corner formed between the two work engaging faces 43, 45 of the external work support and, as the needle follows the awl path, causes the stitches uniting the two parts of the work to extend from the points on the lower face of the lower part of the work at which the awl enters this part to points on the outer face of the other part of the work, which latter points will lie further from the corner formed between the outer faces of the two parts of the work than they would if the adjustment of the work support had not been made.
