Definitions
- a series of needles each carrying a strand or yarn, are passed through a fabric and are then retracted relative to both the strands and the fabric to form a series of strand loops.
- the loops thus formed may be retained in their uncut condition or, alternatively, may be severed to provide a cut pile fabric.
- the known tufting machines provide tufted fabrics in which either all or no strand loops are severed, with no provision being made for forming a combination of both cut and uncut loops in a desired arrangement. Shearing certain of the loops of a tufted fabric will, of course, impart a patterned effect to the fabric.
- Another object is to provide an apparatus for making tufted fabrics having both cut and uncut strand loops arranged in a predetermined pattern.
- Still another object is the provision of a fabric tufting apparatus capable of providing cut and uncut strand loops of substantially equal length and in a predetermined arrangement.
- a further object is to provide a fabric tufting apparatus which permits a tufted fabric to move uniformly relative thereto without the tufts accumulating in the tufting area.
- FIGURE l is an enlarged side view of a portion of the tufting machine of the present invention, with parts thereof being broken away;
- FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary view of a portion of the structure shown in FIGURE l on a still further enlarged scale;
- FIGURE 3 is a view similar to FIGURE 2 illustrating a modified loop forming and severing arrangement
- FIGURE 4 is a perspective view showing a tufted fabric formed in accordance with the present invention.
- the apparatus of the present invention is designed to provide a fabric with cut and uncut strand or yarn tufts which are of substantially the same length and arranged in a predetermined pattern.
- the apparatus of the present invention employs a series of strand carrying needles which are reciprocated through an advancing fabric to form a plurality of strand loops.
- looper 'bars engage with the strands as the needles complete their downward movement through the fabric so as to cause the strands to assume a loop formation as the needles start and pass through the maior portions of their retracting movement.
- the looper bars are advanced toward loop retaining bars which, when cut loops are desired, receive the loops and hold the same for severance by cutting TUFTED FABRICS assignor to American a corporation 3,052,198 Patented Sept. 4, 1962 ice members.
- selected loop retaining bars are retracted away from the advancing looper bars or alternatively, the advancing movement of selected looper Ibars 5 can be so controlled as to limit their degree of movement and thus prevent the transfer of loops from the looper bars to the loop retaining bars.
- Pattern members are utilized to control either the retracting movement of the loop retaining bars or the advancing movement of the looper bars in accordance with a predetermined sequence. If desired, the loop retaining bars may be retracted and the looper bars may be only partially advanced to prevent loop transfer to the retaining bars.
- an added aspect of the present invention is the provision of means for elevating and advancing the tufted fabric to insure that its movement is at a uniform rate.
- the tufting apparatus of the present invention includes a series of simultaneously acting tufting needles, each having a looper bar, loop retaining bar, and related operating mechanism.
- tufting needles each having a looper bar, loop retaining bar, and related operating mechanism.
- the apparatus of the present invention includes a sewing or tufting head 9 having a presser foot 11 and a needle -bar 13, both disposed over an opening 15 formed in a platform or table 17.
- the fabric to be tufted is shown at 19 and is supported by the table 17 as it is advanced'relative to the tufting head.
- a needle 21 is fixed to the lower end of the needle bar 13 and carries a yarn or strand 23 which is drawn from a suitable supply source, not shown, by continuously actuated feed rolls 25, as more fully described hereafter.
- Conventional actuating means are contained within the tufting head 9 for operating the presser foot 11 to advance the fabric 19 along the table 17, and for reciprocating the needle bar 13 during the tufting operation.
- looper bar 27 is fixed to a carriage or -block 31 which is slidably supported between the underside of the table-17 and a bearing plate 33.
- An arm 35 is ixed at one end to the carriage 31 and carries, at its opposite end, a follower roll 37 which bears against the periphery of a cam 39 supported on a shaft 41 and turned by suitable means, not shown.
- the bearing plate 33 is provided with an elongated slot 43 which permits the arm 35 to "move freely through its reciprocating motion, and a cornpression spring 45 is interposed between a fixed portion of the machine frame, shown at 47, and the arm 35 to resiliently maintain the follower roll 37 in engagement with the periphery of the cam 39.
- the loop retaining bar 29 is also slidably suppoited Ibetween the underside of the table 17 and a bearing plate 49 for reciprocating movement in accordance with a pattern member, such as pattern chain 51 acting through the links 53 and 55 which are pivotably interconnected at 57.
- the link 53 is pivotably connected to a fixed portion of the machine frame, as shown at 59, and to the loop retaining bar 29 at 6l.
- the link 55 is slidably supported by a bearing 63 and has a roller 65 at its free end which -is resiliently urged into engagement withthe 70 pattern member 51 by a compression spring 67 acting against a flange 68.
- the pattern chain 51 is provided with projections 69 which, when engaged with the roller cludes a looper bar 27 and a loop retaining bar 29.
- looper bar 27 is provided with a notch 71 adjacent to its lower edge, while its leading end 73 s of smooth arcuate construction.
- the looper bar 27 will thus be able -to easily slide in-between the needle 21 and the strand 23, the latter of which will engage within the notch 71 as the needle starts i-ts upward or retracting movement.
- the adjacent or leading end of the loop retaining bar 29 is also formed wit-h a smooth arcuate surface -75 vwhich permits the uncut strand loops to freely ride thereover.
- the strand loops to be cut are transferred to the loop retaining bar 29, which is hooked at 77 to prevent the loops from sliding therefrom.
- a rotary knife 79 carried by a shaft 81, cooperates with the loop retaining bar 29 to sever the strand loops moved into its path.
- An elongated slot 83 is formed in the lower edge of the bar 29 to accommodate the knife 79.
- the apparatus includes a fabric advance roller 85 which is carried on a shaft 87 and turned, as indicated by -arrow 89, by any suitable means, not shown. Pins 91 are provided on the periphery of the roller 85 and serve to pull the tufted fabric along a desired path, as shown in FIGURE 1. To further eliminate any tendency for the strand loops to accumulate 'within the table opening 15, it will be noted that the table wall is beveled at 93.
- the movement of the needle bar 13, feed rolls 25, looper bar 27, and pattern member 51 are all synchronized so-as to insure that the respective parts perform their intended operation at the proper time.
- the pattern member 51 may be of any suitable construction and may be actuated so as to retract the loop retaining bar 29 at the desired intervals during the tufting operation.
- the loop retaining bar may be retracted during every other stroke of the needle bar 113 or may be held in retracted position during a series of consecutive strokes of the needle bar, depending of course upon the particular pattern of cut and uncut loops desired in the nished product.
- the ⁇ needle bar 13 is at the end of its downward movement and that the cam 39 has urged the looper bar 27 to the left, with the strand 23 being engaged within the looper bar notch 71.
- the roller 65 of the link 55 is at rest between spaced projections 69 on the pattern member v51 so that the loop retaining bar 29 is in its projected position adjacent to the end of the looper bar 27.
- the strand loop shown at.95, is transferred to the retaining bar 29 during the final portion of the movement of the looper bar 27 to the left.
- the looper bar 27 commences its motion to the right, as viewed in FIGURE I, leaving the strand loop 95 engaged by the retaining bar hook 77.
- the presser foot 11 and roller 85 advance the fabric 19 along the table 17 to position a new fabric area below the needle and to move the strand loop 95 toward the path of the knife 79.
- the looper bar 27 is urged to the right, as viewed in FIGURE 1, leaving the newly formed strand loop behind.
- the newly formed strand loop merely rides over the arcuate end of the retaining bar 29,A as shown at 98, and retains its looped formation.
- the looper bar 27, in the above described operation does not start its return movement toward the right, as viewed in FIGURE 1, until the needle 21 has completed approximately three-fourths of its upward travel, and thus there is no tendency for the needle 21 to draw the strand upwardly through the fabric.
- the feed rolls 25 are rotated so as to advance a length of strand 21 slightly in excess of that necessary to provide the desired loop thereby providing some slack in the strand between the feed rolls and the needle.
- FIGURE 3 The embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGURE 3, is generally similar to that described above and includes a presser foot 111 and needle bar 1:13, both of 'which are disposed above an opening 115 in a platform or table 117.
- the fabric to be tufted, shown at 1119, is supported on the table 117 and is advanced by the presser foot 111 and an advance roller, similar to 85, in
- a needle 1211 is ixed to the lower end of the needle bar 113 and carries a yarn or strand 123 which is supplied from a suitable source by feed rolls, such as shown at 25.
- conventional actuating means are provided for operating the presser foot and needle bar.
- the loop forming and severing mechanism of this embodiment includes a looper bar 127 and a loop retaining bar 129, the latter of which is fixed to the table as by bolts 130.
- the looper bar 127 is reciprocated relative to -a bearing block 131 by a pattern member, generally similar to the pattern chain 51 heretofore described, which acts through pivotably interconnected links 153 and 155.
- a rotary knife 179 is carried by a shaft 181 for severing strand loops received on the retaining bar 129.
- the looper bar 127 is reciprocated toward and away from the loop retaining bar 129 in synchronism with the movement of the needle 121. In this case, however, -the stroke of the looper bar will vary as determined by the pattern member.
- the looper bar 127 will be advanced to its extreme position toward the loop retaining bar 129 so as to transfer a newly formed strand loop over the hook portion 177 of the loop retaining bar 129.
- strand loops transferred onto the retaining bar 129 will be severed by the knife 179.
