  • FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the slide fastener presser foot component of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the slide fastener presser foot assembly of FIG. 1.
  • a slide fastener presser foot assembly 10 includes as basic components a slide fastener presser foot 12 and a pivot mount 14 for slidably receiving a mounting shank 16 adapted to be attached to a sewing machine presser bar assembly (not shown), as illustrated in FIGS. 1,2 and 3.
  • the slide fastener presser foot 12 is made as a onepiece molded plastic component having a generally rectangular outline with a planar top surface 18 having an offset head 20.
  • An elongated slot 22 extends transversely through the slide fastener presser foot 12 at a central position adjacent head 20, the slot 22 being aligned with a V-shaped partition 24 separating a pair of angularly oriented guide channels 26 and 28 longitudinally recessed in a bottom surface 30 of a slide fastener presser foot.
  • a projection 32 extends forwardly from head 20 and has a faceted, diamond-shaped configuration to smoothly engage the interengaging elements of a stringer of a slide fastener of the hidden or seam-like type to roll or turn the stringer into a plane defined by the plane of the corresponding guide channel 26 or 28.
  • a pair of laterally spaced, semi-cylindrical bearing recesses 34 and 36 are formed in top surface 18 aligned with sides 38 and 40, respectively, of the slide fastener presser foot 12, each of the bearing recesses 34 and 36 having bevelled edges 42 terminating at the top surface 18.
  • the recesses 34 and 36 are disposed adjacent head 20 at the front end of the slide fastener presser foot 12, and the top surface 18 is substantially planar from recesses 34 and 36 to a rear end 44 of the slide fastener presser foot.
  • the projection and guide channel structure of slide fastener foot component 12 is conventional and, accordingly, will not be described in detail; however, reference is made to US. Pat. No. 3,735,718 for greater detail with respect to the guide channel and projection structure, the disclosure of such patent being incorporated herein by reference.
  • Pivot mount component 14 has a pair of side walls 46 and 48 spaced to be contiguous with sides 38 and 40 of slide fastener presser foot 12 when the pivot mount and slide fastener presser foot are assembled, and a pair of opposed L-shaped projections 50 and 52 extend in transverse relation to side walls 46 and 48 to form a slideway for receiving a flanged base or slide 54 of mounting shank 16, an upstanding member 56, having an H-shape in side elevation, extending transversely from the longitudinal center of base 54 in order to perwith the bottom edges of .projections 50 and 52 to rest on the top surface 18 of the slide fastener presser foot 12.
  • Flange 58 has flat, front surfaces 64 and 66, and a pair of substantially cylindrical pivot bearings 68 and 70 depend from the bottom surface 62 of flange 58 adjacent front surfaces 64 and 66, respectively.
  • the pivots 68 and 70 have central slots 72 and 74 therein, respectively, such that, with the pivot mount component 14 integrally formed as a one-piece, molded plastic component, the arcuate legs of the depending pivots 68 and 70 can be flexed inwardly for snap attachment of the pivot mount 14 with the slide fastener presser foot 12, the pivots 68 and 70 being aligned to be received in recesses 34 and 36 and having mating configurations relative thereto to pivotally mountthe slide fastener presser foot 12 on the pivot mount 14.
  • the pivot mount 14 requires minimal plastic material in that the slideway is formed over a window thereby requiring no bottom wall.
  • the mounting shank 16 is attached to the presser bar assembly of a sewing machine such that the slide fastener presser foot assembly 10 is laterally movable by the sliding interaction between the slideway formed by projections 50 and 52 of pivot mount 14 and the slide 54 of the mounting shank 16.
  • a slide fastener stringer 76 can be sewn t0 the margin of a piece of material 78 by moving the slide fastener stringer and the material such that the projection 32 rolls or turns the interengaging elements of the stringer into one of the guide channels, such as guide channel 26 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the slide fastener presser foot 12 can pivot clockwise, looking at FIGS.
  • the positioning of the bearing recesses 34 and 36 near the front of the slide fastener presser foot 12 coupled with the lack of any superstructure carried on planar top surface 18 facilitate pivoting of the slide fastener presser foot, and the spacing of the front surfaces 64 and 66 from the head 20 permits pivotal movement of the slide fastener presser foot 12 limited only by abutment of the beveled edges 42 with the front surfaces.
  • any slide fastener presser foot can be mounted on the pivot mount 14 v by providing the slide fastener presser foot with cylindrical recesses and a planar top surface such that presser feet can be interchanged for various slide fastener applications.
  • the slotted cylindrical configurations of the pivot bearings 68 and in combination with the mating cylindrical bearing recesses 34 and 36 facilitate snap attachment of slide fastener presser feet constructed in accordance with the present invention with the pivot mount 14 since the arcuate arms of the pivot bearings can be deformed or flexed toward the center during mounting and removal of slide fastener presser feet.
