No. 722,167 Claims priority, application Italy Mar. 28, 1957 9 Claims. (Cl. 112236} This invention refers to a rotary hook for two threaded, lockstitch sewing machines. The purpose is to introduce a few improvements to the parts connecting the retaining ring of the bobbin case holder to the rotary hook body.
In accordance with the present invention, a movable bobbin holder device is connected to the hook body by means of a movable coaxial locking device with that body which can be turned on a common axis so that the disengagement of the parts is obtained by means of rotation.
in order that the present invention may be readily carried into effect, it will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows an axial section, along a line II (FIG. 3) of the rotary body;
FIG. 2 shows the single parts of the rotary hook in perspective, according to the way they are assembled;
FIG. 3 is a back View of the hook in the normal sewing position;
FIG. 4 shows the same back view after the disengagement has taken place; and
FIG. 5 illustrates the rotary hook fitted into the sewing machine.
The rotary body indicated as 1 and provided with a catching hook 2, is fixed by means of screws 4 on shaft 3, the latter continuously rotating, as is commonly known and therefore not illustrated.
The rotary body is provided with a circular guide 5 which is partly closed by the retaining ring 6 of the bobbin case holder 8 so as to form a groove which will house the circular rib 7 of the bobbin case holder 8. Inside the bobbin case holder there is, as usual, an axial pivot 9 onto which the bobbin case 9 (FIG. 5) will be slipped.
It must be understood that, without drifting away from the subject, the catching hook 2, instead of being part of the body 1, could be an end of the retaining ring 6. The retaining ring 6 has two small axial pins 19 and 11 which match the two grooves 12 and 13 of the hook body 1. These pins have two notches 14 and 15, respectively, designed to receive the locking device.
The locking device is formed by the two blades 16 and 17 of the elastic plate 18 fixed to the knurled locking ring 19, This locking ring is fitted to the hook body hub 1 and can rotate but its rotation is limited by a pivot 29 (FIGS. 3 and 4) connected to the hook body 1 and which extends into the slot 21 on locking ring 19. The locking ring 19 is axially held by retainer 22 by means of washer 23 which provides friction for the locking ring rotation.
When the hook is in normal sewing position, as in FIGS. 1 and 3, the elastic blades 16 and 17 of the plate 18 will engage in notches and 14 of the small pins 16 and 11, exerting an axial load on them in the direction indicated by the arrows A (FIG. 1), thus efiecting the exact positioning and connecting of the retaining ring 6 to the hook body 1; a slight elasticity between the two parts will prove very useful when dirt or pieces of thread are caught in between. The disengagement of the retaining ring 6 for the ex traction of the bobbin case holder 8 is obtained by rotating the locking ring 19 in the direction indicated by the arrow a (FIG. 3) while shaft 3 is held steady by the other parts of the sewing machine. The locking ring 19 has been provided with m appropriate knurled border 24 to facilitate rotation.
Once the rotation has been effected (FIG. 4), the small pins 19 and 11 will be disengaged from the blades 16 and 17 so that the retaining ring 6 can be easily extracted. When the retaining ring 6 and the bobbin case holder 8 have been removed for cleaning of the circular guide 5, the locking ring 19 will remain in the position indicated in H6. 4, because the elastic washer 23 exerts sufilcient friction between the surfaces in contact of the locking ring 19 and the hook body 1, to avoid a reciprocal rotation of the two parts. This is useful for the reassembling of retaining ring 6. For this operation the bobbin case holder 8 must be inserted with its rib 7 resting on guide 5, then the retaining ring 6 must be reassembled by inserting the two small pins 10 and 11 respectively into the two grooves 12 and 13.
The hook is then positioned as illustrated in FIG. 4. To fix it in that position, the locking ring 19 must be rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow b until it is in the position shown in FIG. 3.
As is well known, the bobbin case holder 8 is held in a fixed position by means of the retainer 25 (FIG. 5) corresponding to the slot 26 on the bobbin case holder 8.
The retainer 25 is a part of the piece 27 fixed on the lower part of the needle plate 28 (FIG. 5). Therefore, when pieces of thread or dirt get stuck between the rib 7 and the guide formed by parts 5 and 6, causing the rotary body to jam in respect of the bobbin case holder 8, the disengaging device of the parts, formed by the locking ring 19 that can be rotated, is particularly handy because it is always possible to move it in whatever position it stops. if the dismantling were to be obtained by moving two pieces situated in determined positions around the rotary body, there would always be the risk of their stopping near the needle plate or near the retainer 25 of the bobbin case holder 8 and the small space available would make it impossible to move them.
As mentioned, the locking devices are sprung (elastic blades 16-17) so that in the case of lint or dirt getting caught, the retaining ring 6 of the bobbin case holder 8 can move slightly away along its axis, from the rotary body thus avoiding sudden jamming and consequent serious inconveniences in the running of the machine. Moreover, the blades 16 and 17 are slanted in respect to the perpendicular plane of the rotation axis so that the locking motion determines an elastic deformation of the blades and consequently an axial locking load between the parts 1 and 6.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can by applying current knowledge readily adapt it for vari 0113 applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention and, therefore, such adaptations should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning. and range of equivalence of the following claims.
