Definitions

  • FIG. 1 is a side view ofa darning and embroidery foot embodying the present invention partially in section to illustrate detail
  • FIG. 2 is a view in plan of the foot shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view of a portion of a head of a sewing machine equipped with the darning and embroidery foot shown in FIG. I with the sewing needle shown in the down position, and
  • FIG. 4 is a right side elevational view of a portion of a head of a sewing machine with the sewing needle shown in the up position to indicate the effect of the position of the needle clamp on the darning and embroidery foot.
  • FIG. I a darning and embroidery foot having a clamping member 11 of plastic material, a darning member 12 also of plastic material, joined by a curved resilient beam 13.
  • the darning member 12 has at the bottom end thereof a darning foot 15 having a large opening 18 therein.
  • the darning foot 15 is joined by a ribbed plastic section 16 to a forwardly extending striker arm 17.
  • the clamping member 11 is molded with a flat surface 14 for abutment with the customary slabbed surface on a presser bar of family sewing machines, and a slot 19 to accommodate the screw normally used to affix a presser foot to the presser bar.
  • the resilient beam 13 is fashioned on one end with a right angle bend 20 and on both ends with apertures 21 designed to improve the retention of the resilient beam in the clamping member 11 and darning member 12.
  • the resilient beam 13 is fashioned with an elongated opening 23 in order to localize bending of the resilient member to an area removed from the plastic material because of the reduced cross section of the resilient beam adjacent the elongated opening.
  • the flexing of the resilient beam 13 has little or no detrimental effect on the retention of the beam in the clamping member 11 and darning member 12.
  • FIG. 3 and in FIG. 4 A partial elevational view of a sewing machine is shown in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 4 in which the darning and embroidery foot 10 is shown fastened to a presser bar 25, by screw 24, adjacent a needle bar 26 carrying a sewing needle 27.
  • the sewing needle 27 is shown in a position extending through the opening 18 in the darning foot 15 and through a needle hole 29 in a darning plate 30 of the sewing machine to cooperate with a looptaker (not shown) in. the formation of a stitch.
  • an arm 31 of a needle clamp 32 affixing the needle 27 to the needle bar 26, impinges on the striker arm 17 of the darning foot 15 when the needle bar 26 reciprocates upwardly .and the sewing needle 27 is out of the work fabric.
  • the darning foot 15 is thereby elevated by the needle bar so that the work fabric may be moved by the artisan.
  • the resilient beam flexes in the area of the elongated opening 24 to accommodate the relative motion between the darning member
  • a unitary molded darning and embroidery attachment for a sewing machine having a presser bar and an endwise reciprocating needle bar comprising:
  • a first plastic member including a plastic darning foot and means integral with said darning foot for engagement with and actuation by said needle bar of said sewing machine .over :a portion of its endwise reciprocation,
  • resilient means integrally molded with and joining said first and second plastic members whereby said first plastic member may partake of limited motion relative to said second plastic member by reason of said engagement with and actuation by said needle bar over a portion of its endwise reciprocation.
