Definitions

  • the primary object of the invention is to provide a novel means for releasably fastening a bobbin case holder ring to a rotary hook body wherein the bobbin case holder ring may be readily released or secured in place without utilizing fasteners such as screws or the like which require the use of a screwdriver or other tools.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a novel connection between a bobbin case holder ring and a rotary hook body wherein the bobbin case holder ring is readily released and engaged and wherein a fastener associated with the rotary hook body and engaged with the bobbin case holder ring is utilized, the fastener being rotatable relative to both the rotary hook body and the bob bin case holder ring to release or engage the bobbin case holder ring.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a simple releasable connection between a rotary hook body and a bobbin case holder ring which employs a fastener associated with the rotary hook body and not requiring modification of the rotary hook body or the formation of openings therein.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide releasable connections between a drive shaft, a rotary hook body and a bobbin case with the connections employing simple contact between various components and utilizing a single screw to releasably secure the rotary hook body to the drive shaft.
  • the invention is characterized by a bobbin case holder ring releasably connected to a rotary hook body by a locking member disposed coaxially to the hotary hook body and rotatable about the axis of the rotary hook body while holding the bobbin case holder ring stationary to release and engage the bobbin case holder ring.
  • FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of the rotary hook assembly in a normal sewing position.
  • FIGURE 2 is an elevational view similar to FIGURE 1, and shows the rotary hook assembly rotated to a bobbin case holder ring releasing position.
  • FIGURE 3 is a plan view of the rotary hook assembly of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 4 is an exploded perspective view of the components of the rotary hook assembly.
  • FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view through the rotary hook assembly with the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder ring omitted, and shows the details of the fastening means.
  • the rotary hook body is referred to by the numeral 1 and the rotary thread grasping hook is referred to by the numeral 2.
  • the usual sewing machine is provided with a small drive shaft 3 which is suitably mounted for rotation and driven in a manner not shown.
  • shaft 3 has a terminal flange 3 on which the body 1 seats with the body 1 being held in place by a screw 4 passing through the body 1 and threaded into the end of the shaft 3 through the flange 3'. Relative rotation of the body 1 with respect to the shaft 3 is prevented by a pin 5 on the body 1 and engaged in a socket 6 in the flange 3'.
  • the rotary hook body 1 has an internal circumferential guide portion 7 which is partially closed by a bobbin case holding ring 8 to define a throat in which is seated a peripheral edge portion 9 of a bobbin case 10.
  • the bobbin case 10 receives a customary bobbin 11.
  • the hook 2 instead of being part of the body 1, could constitute an end of the bobbin case holder ring 8.
  • This latter arrangement could be usefully employed when the hook has a horizontal axis in lieu of a vertical axis, as is shown in the drawing, without going beyond the broad concept of the invention.
  • the bobbin case holder ring 8 is centered with respect to the body 1 by two short depending pins 12, 12 which are received in seats 13, 14, respectively, in the upper surface of the body 1.
  • the pins 12, 12' also prevent rotation of the bobbin case holder ring 8 relative to the body 1.
  • the body 1 has a lower portion in the form of a bushing 1 on which there is mounted an elastic washer 15 and a coaxial flanged ring 16 in which the washer 15 is seated.
  • the ring 16 is seated on the flange 3, and the washer 15 is clamped between the ring 16 and the underside of the body 1 to frictionally hold the ring 16 against rotation relative to the body 1.
  • the ring 16 may be rotated a limited amount around the body 1 with the rotation of the ring 16 being limited by the engagement of upstanding ends 17, 18 thereof with ends 19, 20, respectively, of a needle protector plate 21 which is removably secured to the body 1 by means of screws 22, 23. It is to be understood that within the scope of the invention, the rotation of the ring 16 with respect to the body 1 could be accomplished by another look and slot means.
  • the outer peripheral surface of the ring 16 may be suitably contoured, such as by knurling, to facilitate the turning thereof.
  • the elastic washer 15 has a plurality of circumferentially spaced fingers 24 which are seated in notdhes 25 formed in the ring 16'. In this manner, the washer 15 is interlocked with the ring 16 for rotation therewith.
  • the fingers 24 of the washer 15 are provided with upper inturned ends 26.
  • the inturned ends 26 engage the bobbin case holder ring 8 to retain the same in place with the bobbin case iholder ring 8 engaging the edge portion 9 of the bobbin case 10 to hold the bobbin case in place in the body 1.
  • the bobbin case holder ring 8 has axial outer grooves 27 of a cross-section and spacing to permit the passage of the finger ends 26.
  • a step 27' is disposed in circumferentially adjacent relation to each of the grooves 27 for engagement by the finger ends 26 to retain the bobbin case holder ring 8 in place on the body 1.
  • the finger ends 26 and the steps 27 are complementarily shaped to assure a perfect mutual coupling.
  • the elasticity of the washer 15 not only makes it possible for the finger ends 26 to move over the steps 27' and thus assure an axial load suificient to guarantee the connection of the bobbin case holder ring 8 to the body 1, but also to permit separation of the bobbin case holder ring 8 from the body 1 in the case of interpositioning of foreign elements between these parts which otherwise might rigidly block and damage the sewing machine.
  • the bobbincase 10 When assembling the parts, the bobbincase 10 is positioned within'tlie body 1 with an appendage 28 thereof engaged in a recess 29 in a part 30 which is fastened to the base of the sewing machine.
  • the bobbin case holder ring 8 is then mounted on the body 1 with the pins 12, i2 engaging inthe seats 13 and 14, respectively, after which the ring 16 is rotated in the direction of the arrow a, while retaining the shaft 3 against rotation, to engage the finger ends 26 with the steps 27 and lock the bobbin ease holder ring in place.
