Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to new and useful improvements in accessories for sewing machines, and more particularly to a novel device for cutting and holding the threads of a sewing machine when there is no more fabric under the pressure foot of the sewing machine so that the machine can be ready to start a new sewing when additional fabric is fed thereinto.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide a novel assembly which will automatically grip and cut the threads of a sewing machine after fabric has passed from beneath the presser foot of the sewing machine so that the threads are held in place in a manner wherein when other fabric is fed into the sewing machine, sewing may continue without any manipulation of the thread by the operator.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a novel presser foot and fabric feed assembly wherein the two cooperate normally in the feeding of fabric, and when no fabric is available to automatically cut the threads of the sewing machine and hold the threads in place for the starting of a new sewing.
  • the device of this invention generally comprises a presser foot and a fabric feeder having toothed feeder members which are movable in slots of a needle plate; the foot having a front sole and a back sole, the front sole being pivotally mounted on a support of the foot and the back sole being pivotally mounted on the front sole and adapted to press against the needle plate behind the customary needle hole therein; and to the fabric feeder is fastened an elastic plate protruding upwardly with respect to the feed members of the fabric feed and movable in front of one of the feed members into an extension of the slot in the needle plate for the feed member, which slot is in longitudinal alignment with the needle hole.
  • FIGURE 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line 11-11 of FIGURE 1 showing the needle plate mounted within the base of a sewing machine and having associated therewith the presser foot and needle.
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken through the rear sole and portions of the needle plate and specifically shows the rear sole clamping cut threads against the needle plate, the fabric feeder being in a retracted position.
  • FIGURES 4, 5 and 6 are fragmentary elevational views showing the mechanism at the beginning, during and towards the end of a sewing operation, respectively.
  • the device of this'invention includes a needle plate 1 which is secured to a base 2 of a sewing machine in a conventional manner.
  • the needle plate 1 is provided with a plurality of slots 3, 4, 5 and 6 in which toothed feed members 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, of the fabric feeder are mounted for reciprocatory movement.
  • the fabric feeder is generally referred to by the numeral 11 and is illustrated in the drawings as feeding fabric 12.
  • the fabric feeder 11 is actuated in a conventional manner (not shown) associated with the needle plate 1.
  • a plate 26 is secured to the rear of the sole 22 by means of a screw 27 for striking against the support 19 to limit the pivoting of the soles 21 and 22 relative to the support 19.
  • both soles 21 and 22 of the presser foot 20 press against the fabric 12 in order that all of the feed members 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the fabric feeder 11 cooperate in the movement of the fabric.
  • the sole 22 continues to press against the fabric 12 and with the cooperation of the feed members 7, 8 and 10, continues to move the fabric 12.
  • indented end 28 of the elastic plate 29 is indented allows the plate 29 to stretch the two threads 16 and 17 during the movement of the fabric feeder 11 in the direction of the arrow x in FIGURE 2. In this manner, the threads 16 and 17 are retained in the correct direction.
  • a sewing machine of the type including a needle, a needle plate with slots, fabric feed members projectable through slots in said needle plate, and a presser foot, mechanism for automatically cutting and holding sewing threads, said mechanism comprising a sole on said presser foot, teeth on one of said feed members cooperable with said sole for feeding fabric and cutting threads when no fabric is present between said one feed member and said sole to press the trailing thread against said sole during carried by said one feed member and cooperable with said sole G to press the trailing thread against said sole during the cutting thereof, said thread cutting and holding means comprising a support fastened to said one feed element and elastically pressed upwards through a slot in said needle plate and positioned between said teeth of said one feed member and the path of travel of said needle.
  • said needle plate has a needle receiving hole, said one feed member and said combined thread feeding and holding means being aligned with said needle hole in the direction of fabric feed, and said needle plate having an upper thread guiding recess surrounding said needle hole and directed towards said one feed member and said combined thread feeding and holding means.
  • a sewing machine of the type including a needle, a needle plate with slots, fabric feed members projectable through slots in said needle plate, and a presser foot, mechanism for automatically cutting and holding sewing threads, said mechanism comprising a sole on said presser foot, teeth on one of said feed members cooperable with said sole for feeding fabric and cutting threads when no fabric is present between said one feed member and said sole, and combined thread feeding and holding means carried by said one feed member and cooperable with said sole, a second sole carried by said presser foot for cooperation with others of said feed members to feed fabric beneath the needle while previously cut threads are being held against said first mentioned sole to press the trailing thread against said sole during the cutting thereof, said thread cutting and holding means comprising a support fastened to said one feed element and elastically pressed upwards through a slot in said needle plate and positioned between said teeth of said one feed member and the path of travel of said needle.
