Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sewing machine having a zig-zag or ornamental stitching attachment, wherein the width of the overstitch of the zigzag seam, the position of the pertinent middle line to the left or right of a normal line, and also the distance apart of the stitches, gan be varied by hand or automatically by control memers.
  • the sewing machine according to the invention is principally characterized in that at least one handle is in synchronism operatively connected on the one hand with an indicating member adapted to play together with a scale of composite sewing designs and on the other hand with the control members so that, with the indicating member set to one of the various sewing designs, the mechanism moving the needle and feeding the work is simultaneously set to one or other of the control members, through which the selected sewing design will be automatically produced as the machine starts to operate.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of a sewing machine of the domestic type with free work-supporting arm
  • FIG. 2a is a top view of the sewing-design indicating FIG. 2b is a plan view of the details for adjusting a feed dog;
  • FIG. 3 is a part top view of the interior of the machine
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are sectional and top views, respectively, of the free Work-supporting arm.
  • the sewing machine includes a casing or standard 1% having a longitudinally extending horizontal main shaft 11 journaled therein in the usual way.
  • This shaft carries at one end a handwheel 12 and at the other end a crank 13 for imparting in known manner a reciprocatory movement to the needle bar 15 by means of a guide rod 14.
  • the needle bar 15 is 1ength wise displaceably carried in a guide member 16 oscillatably mounted at 17 on standard It) so that the needle bar 15 can, in addition to its up and down movement, also be oscillated sideways in order to make zigzag seams.
  • the guide member 16 of the needle bar 15 is linked up to a guide rod 19 being in turn pivoted at 20 to a swing lever 21 arranged on an axle 22 journaled in the standard 18, transversely to the main shaft 11.
  • a swing lever 21 arranged on an axle 22 journaled in the standard 18, transversely to the main shaft 11.
  • an axle 23 having two drums Hand 25 mounted thereon.
  • feeler pins 26 and 27, respectively are radially disposed and staggered both in peripheral and axial directions, each of said pins cooperating with its associated control disks 28 and 29, respectively.
  • Circum ferentially the control disks 28, 29 are provided with cams capable of being contacted by the related feelers.
  • the control disks are arrangedon a transverse axle 30 having mounted thereon a wormwheel 30a which meshes with a worm 11a of the main shaft 11, whereby the cams are in positive rotary connection with the latter.
  • control disks 29, which serve for making various standard seams (say, zigzag seams) are stationarily incoroprated on the side of the bracket-arm of the machine facing the operator.
  • the control disks 28 for the ornamental seams are disposed onthe opposite side of the axle 30 and are interchangeable with control disks for other types of ornamental seams. Said control disks 28 may be placed individually or in packets onto the axle 30.
  • the control disks 28 can be changed through an opening 31, FIG. 3, in the rear sidewall of the standard 10 and be held by means of a detent 32. Said opening 31 is closed by a cover '34 which can be turned upwards or downwards round a bolt 33, being locked in its closed position by a screw 35.

  • circular apertures 52 are provided, into which transparent disks 53 are inserted.
  • These transparent disks 53 contain, as illustrated in stylistic form, sewing sample designs a-m.
  • Behind said disks an indicator 55 is arranged on an axle 54.
  • the indicator carries at its end a small plate 56 which is coated with fiuoroescent substance (scotchlight) and moves past behind the sewing designs one after the other when the indicator is turned around the axle 54.
  • the axle 54 of the indicator 55 is in operative relationship with the drum axle 23 via a train of gears 57, 58, 59, 60, with gears 57 and 58 meshing with each other and gears 59 and 60 meshing with each other, and is thus in connection with the rotary knob 36. Consequently, when setting the indicator 55 with the fluorescent plate 56 to one of the sewing designs am (FIG. 2) by the rotary knob 36, simultaneously also the corresponding feelers 26 and 27 respectively of the drums 24 and 25 will be set to the associated cams so that the set sewing designs will be automatically produced by the machine when it is started.
  • the pointer 55 may be such as a disk having a round red marking spot 55 thereon, the diameter being of such size that it can cover the window 52 of the casing 50.
  • the pointer 55 may consist of a disc which is secured on the axle 3t) and having the red indicator mark 56 thereon.
  • the interconnection from the axle 30 to the hand grip 36 is as follows.

  • the latter meshes with the gear 58 and on the same shaft 22 on which the gear 58 is secured there is also a further gear 59 secured thereon.
  • the gear 58 meshes with the gear 59 which latter is connected to rotate the wheel 45 by a chain 48.
  • . 4 1 (FIG. 3) is mounted on the shaft 42 and which is in mesh with the worm gear lfi and the latter is securely mounted on the shaft 39 with the handwheel 36 secured on the 'end of the shaft 39.
  • the sewing designs a, b, 'c and k, I are standard seams in the above-mentioned sense.
  • the stationarily built-in cams 29 correspond to these sewing designs.
  • the sewing design d corresponds to an ordinary lockstitch seam.
  • no control disk is provided, but a fixed stop 61 (FIG. 2) mounted on the bearing support 62 for the axle 30, as by means "of screws.
  • the :sewing designs e--i are pure decorative stitches, to which the interchangeable cam disks 28 correspond.
  • the axle 46 as intermediate between the chain-drive axles 42 and 23, is not stationary, 'but carried by a lever 63, oscillating about its pivot axle 64.
  • the axle 64 rests on a bracket '65 firmly secured to the standard or casing.
  • the depending arm of the lever 63 comes within the range *or the free extremity of the axle 39 of the setting handle 36.
  • the axle 39 is spring (66) biased and can. not only be turned but also be displaced en'dwise in the stop bearings 37, 38 with'pin-and-slotguiding 39a, 39b.
