Definitions

  • This invention relates to sewing machines and more particularly to a sewing machine foot switch mounting bracket capable of attachment to a sewing machine power table under a wide variety of conditions.
  • an object of this invention to provide a sewing machine foot switch mounting means capable of attachment to a sewing machine power table under a wide variety of conditions.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a sewing machine foot switch mounting means in accordance with the foregoing object in which the mounting means is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • a foot switch mounting bracket is provided which can, in the alternative, be connected to (1) a flat-topped treadle support, (2) a round treadle support, or (3) a treadle support having a hole formed in the top.
  • the mounting bracket has a flat base adaptable for mounting the bracket on a fiat-topped treadle support by securing the bottom of the base to the top of the treadle support.
  • An upstanding lug is provided at the front portion of the bracket on each side thereof, and a raised platform having a member depending therefrom is provided at the rear portion of the bracket.
  • the depending member makes the bracket adaptable for connection to a treadle support having a hole formed in the top by inserting the depending member into the hole formed in the treadle support.
  • a switch is mounted on the raised platform and a foot pedal is pivotally mounted on the upstanding lugs to coact with the switch.
  • the pivotal mounting of the foot pedal is adaptable for mounting the mounting bracket on a round treadle support by passing the round treadle support through the pivotal mounting.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sewing machine mounted on a power table with a foot switch mounting bracket mounted on a tubular treadle support;
  • FIG. 1A is a fragmentary perspective view of the foot switch mounting bracket of FIG. 1 connected to a treadle support having slotted holes formed in the top;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the foot switch mounting bracket mounted on a tubular treadle support
  • FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken substantially along the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the foot switch mounting bracket mounted on a fiat-topped treadle sup- P
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the foot switch mounting bracket connected to the treadle support which has slotted holes formed in the top;
  • FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view taken substantially along the line 66 of FIG. 5.
  • the invention is illustrated in conjunction with a sewing machine 16 which is on the top of a support structure or power table 17.
  • a transmitter 18 is slung underneath the top of the power table.
  • the transmitter drives the sewing machine through a V-belt 19 which frictionally engages pulleys 21 and 22 which are mounted on shafts (not shown) journaled in the transmitter and in the sewing machine respectively.
  • the power table is supported by four legs 23 which are laterally braced by two horizontal braces 24-24.
  • a horizontal cross member or treadle support 26, 27 or 28 spans the distance between the braces 24-24 and comprises the variable which gave rise to the present invention.
  • a foot switch mounting bracket 29 is provided to mount a foot pedal 31 and a foot switch 32. Both the foot pedal and the foot switch may be of conventional design.
  • the foot switch mounting bracket includes a flat-bottom base portion or base 33 having upstanding lugs 3434 located one on each side of the front potrion 36 of the mounting bracket.
  • a raised platform 37 is formed at the rear portion 38 of the mounting bracket raised above the level of the top surface of the base 33, and a bifurcated depending member 39 depends from the raised platform 37. From the foregoing, it is readily apparent that the foot switch mounting bracket can be easily formed out of sheet metal by simply bending the metal to form the upstanding lugs 34-44, the raised platform 37 and the depending member 39.
  • the foot switch 32 is mounted on the raised platform 37 of the foot switch mounting bracket 29 by means of screws (not shown) while the foot pedal 31 is mounted on the upstanding lugs 3434 by means of a cylindrical stud 41.
  • the cylindrical stud extends through piv-ot means or horizontal holes 41a41a formed in the foot pedal, horizontal holes 4117-411) formed in the upstanding lugs 34-34, and is laterally held in place by a pair of clamping members 4242 which are clamped on the stud by means of nuts and bolts 43-43. Coaction between the foot pedal switch is induced by switch contacting means in the form of a bolt 44 at the rear portion 46 of the foot pedal.
  • the bolt 44 is locked on the foot pedal by a nut 47 and the end of the bolt is capped by a nut 48 having a spherical head 49.
  • the pressure of the spherical head 49 of the nut 48 bearing against the pedal 51 of the foot switch actuates a microswitch (not shown) inside the foot switch upon depression of the foot pedal.
  • the foot switch mounting bracket 29 is adaptable for connection to (1) a treadle support having a round cross section, (2) a treadle support having a hole formed in the top, or (3) a treadle support having a flattop.
  • the foot switch mounting bracket can be mounted on a tubular treadle support 26 by removing the cylindrical stud 41 and substituting the tubular treadle support therefor by passing the tubular treadle support through the pivotal mounting of the foot pedal 31.
  • the clamping members 4242 can then be used to fix the mounting bracket laterally on the treadle support.
  • the foot switch mounting bracket can be connected to a treadle support 27 having spaced slotted holes 52 formed in the top by simply inserting the bifurcated depending member 39 at the rear portion 38 of the mounting bracket into two of the spaced slotted holes 52.
  • the breadth of the depending member 39 and the spacing of the two slotted holes maintain the mounting bracket perpendicular to the treadle support.
  • the foot swijtoh mounting bracket can be mounted on top of a fiat-topped treadle support 28 by securing the bottom of the base 33 of the mounting bracket to the top of the treadle support by means of screws 53- 53 which extend through clearance holes 53a53a formed in the base and thread into tapped holes 53b-53b formed in the top of the treadle support.
  • the sewing machine can then be controlled by foot. Pivotal movement of the foot pedal 31 as the operator toes the pedal causes the bolt 44 at the rear portion 46 of the foot pedal to descend and depress the pedal 51 of the foot switch 32 as shown in FIG. 2. Depression of the pedal 51 actuates the microswitch (not shown) inside the foot switch.
  • a universal switch and foot-pedal mounting bracket for a sewing apparatus including a sewing machine; means for mounting the sewing machine; means for supporting the means [or mounting the sewing machine at table height; a horizontal cross member located at the foot of the sewing apparatus having any one of a variety of shapes including a flat top, a circular cross section and a recess formed in the top; a foot pedal; pivot means on the foot pedal; switch contacting means on the foot pedal; and a switch contacting the switch contacting means on the foot pedal and connected to the sewing apparatus; said switch and foot-pedal mounting bracket being especially adapted for mounting on any selected one of the cross members and being an improvement comprising a flat-bottomed base portion; upstanding means at one end of the base portion having a horizontal hole formed therein; a removable stud mounted in the hole formed in the upstanding means providing a pivotal support for the foot pedal through the pivot means on the foot pedal; a raised platform at the other end of the base portion raised above the level of the top surface of the base portion for mounting the switch for actuation
