Definitions

  • the apparatus according to the present invention is characterized by a cam being able to be rechangeably mounted on a rear extension of the shaft of the cam for producing the cross displacement of the needle bar for 'the zig-zag sewing operation, said cam positioned on the rear extension of said shaft having the task of actuating the means for driving the fabric feeder through alever, the pivot of which is displaceable, by a hand driven mechanism, preferably according to an arc of circle in such a manner as to be able to adjust through its displacement the oscillation that the lever driven by the cam transmits to the means for driving the fabric feeder.
  • the amplitude of the fabric feeder movement ensured by the cam controlling its cycle, can thus be adjusted at will.
  • the means for driving the fabric feeder can consist in the mechanism of known kind generally employed in the sewing machines for causing said feeder to work.
  • the present invention provides, as complemental means of the apparatus forming the subject matter thereof, a device for controlling and adjusting the travel of the fabric feeder, which device, as it eliminates all the drawbacks of the mentioned mechanisms, assures to the sewing machine a perfect working.
  • This device is characterized by the fact that an oscillating fork, driven by an eccentric fixed on the upper main shaft of the sewing machine, carries parallel to its oscillation plane, a guiding pin, upon which is slidably mounted a runner pivoted on the link effecting the advancement of the fabric feeder, a cross lever or, more precisely, a lever with two branching arms extending therefrom in opposite directions, serving for varying the position of said runner on its guiding pin, said cross lever being mounted on the same oscillation pin of the fork and being arranged in such a manner as to be able to be actuated either through one of its branching arms, automatically, according to a previously determined cycle, by the lever driven by the cam turning in synchronism with the main shaft of the machine, or, through the-other branching arm, by a hand lever.
  • a spring is provided to keep the cross lever adherent either to the hand driven ice lever or the lever driven by the cam; and as the runner, Whatever position it may be made to take up, that is also when it is brought on the guiding pin in the position of maximum distance from the oscillation center of the fork, under the maximum raising strength of the fabric, does not tend to go by itself to the zero position.
  • Said spring can be very light, which is advantageous for the strengths of the cam, the movement facility of the machine and the regularity of the stitch.
  • the two drives of the adjustment by cam and by hand can work either simultaneously or separately, in the latter case being excluded one or the other drive.

  • buttons 43 applied in said window and blocked each by a button 44 having threaded stem. These stops, however, can be surmounted by the button 42, when it is pushed towards the interior against the action of the spring 45, so as to bring in correspondence with said stops the portion 41' of the stem 41.
  • button 42 is free to move to a new position, whereupon button 42 is released, and spring 45 moves the stem 41 back into engagement with the stops 43.
  • a cam 46 locked by means of a nut 47 on a flange 48 which can be either fixed on the shaft 8 (Fig. 4) or mounted in a bearing 49 fixed to the frame 2, said flange being connected to a hub 50 fixed on 8', in such a manner as to be able to be caused to turn by means of either a joint 48 (Fig. or a gear 50' (Fig. 6).
  • a joint 48 Fig. or a gear 50' (Fig. 6
  • the advantage is obtained that the speed ratio between the shaft 8' and the cam 46 can be varied by varying the ratio of the teeth on hub 50 and flange 48.
  • the periphery of the cam 46 (Fig. 7) is kept in contact with the small pin 51 carried by the arm 52 of the two arm lever 52, 53, the other arm of which carries a small pin 54 capable of being brought into contact with the projection 55 of the lever 56 driving the mechanism of known kind which transmits the movement to the fabric feeder.
  • the lever 52, 53 is pivoted at 57 on a support 58 pivoted on a shaft 59 and rigidly connected to an arm 60 bearing on an eccentric 61.
  • the lever 65 can be caused to work, by maneuvering it by hand by means of the button 66, said lever through the pin 67 coming then into contact with the lever 56 is moved free of the pin 54 and biased by the spring 62.
  • the displacement of the fabric takes place by hand, in the manner known for the sewing machines.
  • the cam 46 (Fig. 4) can be easily substituted with any other cam having a different profile simply by unscrewing the nut 47. Between the cam 46 and the flange 48 can be arranged a spring 68 to facilitate the removal of cam 46. It is not necessary to remove the cam 46, when it is already mounted, for passing from the drive for displacing the fabric by cam to the drive for displacing it by hand.
  • a window closed by a plate 69 In order to be able to effect the mounting and the re moval of the cam 46, in the rear wall of the frame 2, opposite thereto, is provided a window closed by a plate 69, said window corresponding to the one closed by the plate 70, which is located in the opposite wall for both the mounting and the removal of the removable cam 26 for the zigzag sewing operation.
  • the lifting of the fabric feeder 71 is effected by a cam 72 mounted on the oscillating shaft 20, which drives the hook 23.
  • a cam 72 mounted on the oscillating shaft 20, which drives the hook 23.
  • On the cam 72 bears a lever 73, pivoted at 74, on the other end of which the pin 76 is mounted.
  • the end 77 of the movable support 78 of the fabric feeder 71 bears on this pin 76, a spring 79 keeping the support, by means of the lever 73, biased towards the cam 72.
  • the pin 76 is axially slidable in such a manner as to be able to be disengaged from the end 77 of the support 78, thus removing the fabric feeder from the drive of the cam 72.
  • the fabric feeder then remains in a downward position and the machine can effect embroidery work for which the fabric is displaced by hand.
  • the pin 74 is secured in the bush 30, which is adapted to be displaced and fixed in a position chosen in any manner on the pin 81 by means of screw
  • the projecting portion of the fabric feeder can be easily adjusted.
  • the means for driving the fabric feeder might consist of the mechanism as usually employed to this end in the sewing machines of known kind.
  • the fork 82 is caused to oscillate on the pin 83 by the cam 84 mounted on the upper shaft 1 of the machine.
  • a guiding pin 85 is fixed to the projections 86, 87 rigidly connected to the fork 82.
  • the guiding pin 35 accomplishes about the pin 83 the same oscillations of the fork 82, that is it displaces itself, at each revolution of the cam 84 from the position X-X to the position Y-Y, returning to the position XX at the end of each revolution. If the center 92 of the runner or slider 88, which is displaced on the pin 85 from one end 89 to the other end 99 of said pin and vice versa, coincides with the axis of the pin 83, said slider remains immovable and the link 91, pivoted at 92, does not receive any axial displacement. If the center 92 of the runner or slider 88 is displaced towards the end 86, it receives displacements from X to Y according to the arrow 93 and returns. If the center 92 of the runner or slider 88 is displaced towards the end 87, it receives opposed displacements, that is according to the arrow M and returns.
  • the link 91 consequently receives corresponding displacements.
  • the link 91 is connected by means of the parts 95, 96 (Fig. 2) to the support 73 of the fabric feeder 7i, consequently also said feeder 71, in synchronism with the feeder lifting means 75, moves from a forward position to a backward position or from a backward position to a forward position, in response to the position of the runner or slider 88 on the pin 85.
  • the more the runner or slider 88 is displaced from the pin 83 the greater will be its displacement in the sense of the arrows 93, 94 and the greater will be the travel of the link 91 and consequently of the feeder 71.
  • the displacement of the runner or slider 88 is caused by the cross lever 97 pivoted on the pin 83.
  • the projection 97 carries a pin with a slipper 98 which is retained in the fork 99.
  • the fork 99 is secured to the link 91 on the upper portion of which is pivoted the runner or slider 88 which is held on the opposite side by the small plate 99. 1
  • the drive can be imparted to the lever 97 by two separate parts, of which, one 100 is connected to a lever 101 adapted to be actuated by hand from the outside of the frame and the other 102 is actuated by the lever 52 automatically driven by the cam 46 (Figs. 4 to 6). Either the part 100 or the part 102 can be inoperative independently of the other part, leaving only one part in operation.
  • the adherence of one of the projections 97" and 97" against the part 100 or 102, respectively, is maintained by a spring 103, one end 103 of which is fixed to the support 104, while the other end 103 is connected to the lever 97, said end 103" of said spring keeping said lever pushed against either the pin 100 or the pin 102 of the driving lever.

  • the projection 97" will follow it and consequently the slipper 98 will be displaced, said slipper constraining the fork 99 to move and the runner 88 to slide upon the guiding pin 85 within the limits 89-90.
  • the runner or slider 88 will accomplish one determined stroke, said stroke being repeated by the fabric feeder.
  • this part 102 accomplishing automatic cyclic displacements, will compel the projection 97" to make corresponding displacements and similarly the fork 99, the link 91 and, consequently, the fabric feeder, the stroke amplitude and direction of Which will continuously vary for each stitch according to the shape of the cam driving the part 102.
  • the device will also work if both parts 100 and 102 are made operative, without any inconvenience being caused in the working, the one or the other of the parts 100, 102 effecting then the task of stroke limiter of the lever 97 and consequently of length limiter of the stitch.
