Definitions

  • An electromechanical adder mechanism for selectively influencing the operation of sewing machine stitch forming instrumentalities in accordance with a preselected pattern and comprising a plurality of discs which are arranged coaxially on a drive shaft including discs keyed to the drive shaft and freely journaled discs frictionally coupled to turn with the keyed discs.
  • Axial cam segments on adjacent keyed and freely journaled discs may be selectively brought into engagement by electromagnetically influenced stop means for changing the angular orientation of the freely journaled discs relative to the keyed discs thus selectively to regulate the total axial dimension of the stack of discs on the shaft which is the output of the adder mechanism.
  • This object is attained by the provision of a series of discs on a circularly moving drive shaft alternately keyed to and freely joumaled on the shaft with axial cam surfaces acting between the discs to influence the axial dimension of the entire stack of discs. Angular changes which are made in the position of the freely joumaled discs with respect to the keyed discs influencing changes in the output of the adder as represented by the total axial dimension of the stack. Relative movement is required between the discs only to reflect a change in the output and at all other times the discs turn as a unit and thus minimize wear between the parts.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an electromechanical adder mechanism in which greatly increased time is available for receipt and utilization of the electrical pattern signals. This object is attained by an arrangement whereby the pattern signal for a particular stitch is received and manipulated while a stitch in the pattern is being formed in accordance with the previously introduced pattern information.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide an electromechanical adder mechanism in which the pattern information received as input to the electromagnetic device is unrelated to the magnitude of forces required to be delivered by the output of the adder mechanism.
  • This object of the invention is attained by an arrangement of interrupter elements for influencing the relative angular orientation of stacked discs on the drive shaft in which the forces required by the pattern input signals are applied to the interrupter elements in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction to which the interrupter elements assume the operating forces incident to the development of the output of the adder mechanism.

  • FIG. 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Illustrated in FIG. 1 is an adaptation of an electromechanical disc adder of this invention indicated generally as 20 in a sewing machine bracket arm 21'shown operatively connected to influence the lateral jogging or bight movements of a sewing machine needle 22 in the formation of a pattern of stitches.
  • the needle 22 is carried by a needle bar 23 journaled for endwise reciprocation in a gate 24 which is pivotally mounted for lateral swinging movement in the bracket arm.
  • An arm shaft 25 in the bracket arm may be connected by any conventional means (not shown) to impart endwise reciprocation to the needle bar.
  • the needle bar gate 24 is shifted laterally to impart zigzag movements to the needle by means of a link 26 pivoted as at 27 to the gate and pivoted at 28 to a follower lever 29 fulcrumed at 30 in the bracket arm and having a roller 31 journaled at its free extremity.
  • a spring 32 may be arranged between the link 26 and the bracket arm of the sewing machine frame to urge the roller 31 to the right as viewed in FIG. 1 against the disc adder.
  • FIG. 1 Also as shown in FIG. 1 is an assembled electromechanical disc adder of this invention illustrating that the parts may be assembled directly on an actuating shaft of the sewing machine such as the arm shaft 25 requiring only that the shaft be formed with a keyway 40 or its equivalent.
  • Assembled in coaxially stacked relation on the arm shaft are a series of alternated keyed discs 50 andfreely joumaled discs 60. All of the discs keyed and freely journaled are axially shiftable along the arm shaft with the exception of the first keyed disc 50 which is formed with an integral collar 70 secured by set screws 71 fast on the arm shaft.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate opposite sides of a typical keyed disc 50 showing that it is formed with a shaft accommodating bore 72 into which projects a key 73 for engagement with the shaft keyway 40.
  • the control cam surfaces 75 and 76 are circular but each having a different axis, both axes being located eccentrically from the axis of the bore 72.
  • control cam surfaces 75 and 76 together define a varying shape for the groove 74 which includes a narrow segment 77 and a wide segment '78 for a purpose which will be described below.
  • the keyed disc is formed with an axially enlarged hub portion 79, i.e., the hub portion 79 is made thicker axially of the outer periphery of the disc.
  • each keyed disc as shown in FIG. 3A is formed radially outward from the bore 72 with an axially extending cam segment 80 joined at each side by an arcuate and sloping ramp 81 merging smoothly with the axial cam segment 80 and with the face 82 of the keyed disc. It is pointed out that each of disc than the the keyed cam discs are identical with one exception, i.e., the axial dimension X of the axially extending cam segment 80.
  • each of the discs 60 is formed with a plain bore accommodating the arm shaft 25.
  • One side of each freely journaled disc 60, as shown in FIG. 4A, is formed with an axially projecting hub 91 from which a stop projection 92 extends radially and is formed with a radial inner stop abutment surface 93.
  • an outer stop abutment surface 94 is provided on an arcuate lug 95 projecting axially from the face 96 of the freely joumaled disc. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, a radial clear space is provided between the outside of the inner stop abutment surface 93 and the inside of the outer stop abutment surface 94.
  • each freely journaled disc 60 is formed with an axially projecting cam follower block 97 disposed adjacent to the bore 90 for cooperation with one of the cam segments 80.
  • the cam follower blocks 97 one on each disc are preferably of an equal dimension axially of the discs and preferably that axial dimension is at least as large as the largest axial dimension X of cam segment 80.
  • FIGS. 1, 6, 6A, 8 and 8A there is provided in cooperation with each adjacent pair of keyed and freely journaled discs an interrupter element 100. Since all of the interrupter elements are identical one will now be described in detail.
  • Each interrupter element is formed with a substantially flat base portion 101 formed with a circular opening 102 adapted loosely to embrace a circular armature rod 103 of a conventional electromagnetically influenced solenoid indicated generally at 104.
  • the solenoid includes a coil 105 arranged between the upturned arms 106 of a U-shaped frame 107 transversely of which said armature rod is shiftable.
  • a head 108 formed on the armature rod 103 constrains the interrupter base portion on the rod.
  • the interrupter element Extending upwardly from the base portion 101, the interrupter element is formed with an arched portion 109 which terminates in a head arranged substantially in alignment with the flat base portion.
  • the head includes a control lug 110 extending on one side and a stop lug extending on the other side thereof.
  • a coil spring 121 stretched between the arched portion 109 of the interrupter and the solenoid frame 107 serves to pivot the interrupter element about the upper edge of the solenoid frame arm 106 when the solenoid is deenergized and when the inner cam surface 75 of the control cam groove 74 permits as shown in FIG. 6
  • the soleniod frames 107 may all be mounted on a common support block 123 which is secured in the sewing machine bracket arm beneath the arm shaft.
  • Each of the interrupter elements 100 is connected to its respective solenoid armature rod by a simple swivel joint providing capacity for pivotal movement not only to accommodate shifting movement of the interrupter elements radially of the discs, but also for limited movement of the interrupter heads in a direction axially along the stack of discs.
  • the adder mechanism comprises a plurality of sets of keyed and freely joumaled discs 50 and 60, respectively, each set being effective to add or subtract a given increment X from the total axial dimension of the assembled stack corresponding to the axial dimension X of the cam segment 80 which is included in that set.
  • Each unit or set comprises four disc sides, i.e., both sides of a keyed and both sides of a freely journaled disc, but it must be kept in mind that the four sides required to complete each set need not necessarily be carried on the same two discs.
  • the four disc sides of each set comprise the sides of three adjacent discs; i.e., both sides of one freely journaled disc and one side of each of the keyed discs on each side thereof. As shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIGS. 5 to 9 the positionsof the control lug 110 and of the stop lug 120 on the interrupter element are superimposed.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the relative position of keyed and freely joumaled discs in a set while the solenoid corresponding thereto has been energized resulting in an overlap of the cam segment 80 and follower block 97 so that the increment X is added to the stack dimension.
  • the solenoid controlling the interrupter element remains energized, the control lug 110 will continue to track the outer cam surface 76 of the control groove 74 in the keyed disc 50 and the system will remain unchanged with both discs 50 and 60 coupled together frictionally and turning with the shaft because of the key 73 on the disc 50.
  • the preferential time for a change in the actuation of the solenoid 104 occurs when the control lug 110 occupies the narrow portion 77 of the control cam groove 74 since then no immediate motion of the interrupter will occur and noise and vibration will be minimized. If the solenoid 104 is deenergized in the position of parts shown in FIG. 5, the control lug will then track the inner cam surface 75. With the shaft 25 turning clockwise, as viewed in FIGS. 5-9, 180 of shaft rotation will transpire until the stop lug 120 contacts the inner stop surface 93 on the freely joumaled disc 60.
  • the stop lug 120 will engage the inner stop surface 93 and constrain the freely joumaled disc 60 from rotation thus changing the relative angular po sitions of the discs 50 and 60 and shifting the follower block 97 out of engagement with the cam segment 80 and against the face 82 of the keyed disc.
  • the increment X equal to the axial dimension of the cam seg ment 80 will thus be subtracted from the total axial dimension of the stack.
  • control lug 110 will continue to track the inner cam surface 75 of the contfol groove 74 and no further change will occur as to the angular relationship between the discs 50 and 60 because the cam groove 74 will continue to shift the stop lug 120 clear of the abutment 93 during each revolution of the shaft.
  • the control lug 110 occupies the narrow portion 77 of the control cam broove 74 in the position of parts shown in FIG. 7. If in this position of parts the solenoid 104 is energized, the control lug 110 will thereafter track the outer cam surface 76 of the control groove 74 and after 180 of shaft rotation the stop lug 120 will engage the outer stop abutment surface 94 as shown in FIG. 8. During the subsequent approximately 180 of shaft rotation, the stop lug 120 will continue to engage the abutment surface 94 to constrain the freely journaled disc from rotation.
  • FIG. 2 The disc positions in which an increment X is added and in which an increment X is subtracted from the total axial dimension of the stack is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the axial cam segment 80 and camfollower 97 are shifted into engagement, the axial dimension of the cam segment 80 is added as indicated by +X.
  • the cam follower 97 abuts the keyed disc face 82 and the axial dimension of the cam segment 80 is subtracted as indicated by X.
  • the sets of the keyed and freely journaled discs, each with an individual solenoid controlled interrupter may be controlled individually by selective actuation of the solenoid thereof to add or subtract the axial increment represented by the dimension of the respective cam segments 80 from the collective axial dimension of the stack.
  • the solenoids may be activated selectively by any known system or arrangement, such system not forming a direct part of this invention.
  • that set of discs which includes the fixed keyed disc 50 will carry a cam segment 80 with the smallest axial dimension X and the other sets will be arranged in an order from the fixed keyed disc in proportion to the magnitude of the axial dimension X.
  • the interrupters will be moved sideways the least amount during the operation of the adder mechanism.
  • this adder mechanism responds only to changes in pattern information. In the intervals between changes, the discs simply rotate in unison. In contrast with other known adding mechanism which automatically return to a base point or zero setting after each repetitive cycle of operation, the present adder mechanism is advantageous in that the wear incident to machine operation is greatly reduced. The present adder mechanism, however, retains the advantage usually present in return to zero systems that the response to any pattern signal will always reflect an absolute relationship with a base point or zero of the system.
  • any force applied to the interrupter element by the stop abutments will act in a direction substantially perpendicular to the solenoid armature rod 102 on which the interrupter element is swiveled.
  • Such forces applied by the stop abutments will occur incident to the output of the adder mechanism and will vary considerably according to the .work which the adder mechanism must perform. These forces will be derived from the arm shaft and not from the solenoids 104 or springs 121.
  • a rotary adder mechanism comprising a frame, a rotary drive shaft journaled in said frame, a plurality of discs stacked coaxially on said drive shaft, at least one of said discs being keyed to said drive shaft to rotate in synchronism therewith, and at least one of said discs being freely journaled on said drive shaft, means for frictionally coupling said keyed and freely journaled discs for rotation together, interengageable axial cam segments formed on adjacent keyed and freely journaled discs for movement into and out of engagement responsive to relative angular movement of said keyed and freely journaled discs, output means responsive to the total axial dimension of said plurality of said stacked discs, and control means carried on said frame for selectively preventing rotation of said freely journaled disc relative to said keyed disc to impart relative angular movement to said keyed and freely journaled discs.
