Definitions

  • This invention relates to certain improvements in the device for exchanging bobbins in sewing machines which has been described in our copending application Ser. No. 302,895.
  • the empty bobbin with bobbin case is seized by a grip claw carrier disposed axially parallel to the loop catch which executes a combination of axial and pivotal movements, is lifted from the seat in the loop catch and subsequently dropped during the pivotal movement of the grip claw carrier, while at the same time a bobbin case with a full bobbin is picked up from the magazine and deposited in the seat in the loop carrier.
  • a further object of the invention is to improve the cooperation between the grip claw carrier, the hook and the container or magazine feeding the full bobbins.
  • the shifting shaft which is arranged in the bed plate of the machine, parallel to the loop catch or looper shaft, with the grip claw carrier flxedly mounted thereon, is provided with a shift pin which is guided in straight and helical grooves or slots of a sleeve enclosing the shifting shaft.
  • the previous control mechanism for the grip claw carrier consisting of a springurged toothed rack and a cam, can be dispensed with whereby the device is simplified and its reliability increased. Also, the stitch-forming members arranged below the bed plate thus remain freely accessible.
  • a radial adjustment of the grip claw carrier is rendered possible.
  • Such adjustment permits accurate alignment of the claws in relation to the looper and the magazine which is preferably shaped in the form of a tubular cartridge.
  • 'Ihe releasing member for feeding the bobbin cases in the cartridge may suitably be provided on the holder of the cartridge for operation by a cam arranged on the shifting shaft of the control mechanism.
