Definitions
- the needle passes downward through a small slot which is dimensioned to lallow f-or zig-zag motion.
- some difficulty may .arise because of .a tendency of some fabrics to be pushed downward into the slot, and to s-tick in the slot when the needle rises.
- the primary object of the present invention is t-o overcome this difficulty.
- a general object of the invention is to provide an improved throat plate for masking the feed dogs of a sewing machine.
- a more specific object is to provide .a throat plate for use With the monogrammer disclosed in the aforesaid copending application Ser. No. 482,466.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective View showing a monogrammer attachment with the improved throat plate therebeneatn;
- FIG. 2 is ya plan vie-w showing the relation ofthe attachment t-o the ⁇ sewing machine and throat plate;
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of a throat plate embodying features of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a vertical -section taken approximately on the vline 4 4 of FIG. 3;
- Tlhe cam is an elongated at bar 26 which is fed through .the attachment from left to right as the sewing operation proceeds.
- a manually operable knob 28 may be used to preliminarily feed the cam 26 when first inserting it in the attachment.
- Another knob 30 varies Pce the range of zig-zag width or 'bight, the proportional variation being provided automatically by means of a third cam track on the cam bar 26.
- the small slot 52 receives the needle of the sewing machine.
- the slot is somewhat elongated sideward to allow for zig-zag motion in the case of a zig-zag sewing machine. It will be evident that the lift of the springs 42 at each side of the slot 52 insures lift of the fabric out ofthe slot.
- the large side slots shown at 62 are to provide access to small release pins here suggested at 64, which pins happen to he used in this sewing machine to hold the throat plate in position.
- the throat plate is held by one or more small screws which are readily released, and in such case the present substitute throat plate is similarly provided with holes for screws for the same lpurpose. Instead of the slots 62, there would be openings affording access to the mounting screws.
- the monogram area is two inches square.
- the foot 20 is considerably larger, and moves an inch either side of center position in X and Y position.
- the plate 40 is six inches by five and a half inches to accommodate this.
- a throat plate for use in a sewing machine when using an attachment providing its own feed and which therefore requires disabling of the regular feed dogs of the sewing machine, said throat plate comprising means disposed entirely over and resting on the sewing machine feed dogs which means are arranged to rise and fall with the feed dogs while the remaining portions of said throat plate remain fixed, said means having a smooth bottom surface along which the feed dogs readily slide, and having a smooth top surface over which the fabric readily moves.
- a throat plate as defined in claim 2 in which the ends of the springs extend beneath the top of the throat plate, and in which said springs normally seek their down position but yield resiliently upward when the feed dogs rise.
- a throat plate as defined in claim 2 in which there is a lower base having the dimension and outline of the regular throat plate in order to be received in the opening for the regular throat plate, and having slots for the feed dogs and for the needle, and a top plate of much greater area disposed directly over and mounted on the aforesaid smaller base, said top plate having long slots for the leaf springs, the ends of said springs ybeing offset downward at the ends of the slots, and portions of said springs being located between the base plate and the top plate.
- a throat plate as defined in claim 2 in which there is a lower base having the dimension and outline of the regular throat plate in order to be received in the opening for the regular throat plate, and having slots for the feed dogs and for the needle, and a top plate of much greater area disposed directly over and mounted on the aforesaid smaller base, said top plate having slots for the leaf springs, the ends of said springs being offset downward at the ends of the slots, portions of said springs being located Ibetween the base plate and the top plate, and means on said springs to anchor the same against lateral movement while affording the desired up and down flexing movement.
