PRESSER DEVICES FOR SEWING BUTTONI-IOLES i BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Traveling work engaging shoes are well known in as sociation with sewing machine presser feet for facilitating buttonhole production, as shown, for instance, in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,656,443 dated Apr. 18, 1972 of R. J. Ross. With this known construction, the work feeding instrumentality of the sewing machine by contact ing the work fabrics moves the shoe. Since the characteristics of work fabrics can differ widely, appreciable variation can arise in the effectiveness of the transport of the work and the traveling shoe along the length of the buttonhole when using the patented construction.
A French Pat. No. 1,360,144, dated June 20, 1963 discloses a work engaging plate arranged beneath the traveling shoe of a buttonhole making presser device, but this patented arrangement can accommodate only a small fraction of the work fabric thickness whichthe sewing machine might ordinarily accept because a layer of resilient material is required to be added beneath the work engaging plate capable of gripping coaction with the teeth of the sewing machine feed dog. In the construction disclosed in this French patent, moreover, the coupling between the work engaging plate and the traveling shoe does not provide accommodation for any appreciable thickness variation of the work fabrics beneath the traveling shoe lengthwise along the buttonhole. This is a serious limitation since buttonholes are commonly placed along the fly edges of garments where hem folds are frequently utilized giving rise to fabric thickness variation along the buttonhole length.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of this invention to provide the traveling shoe of a buttonhole making presser device with means for responding favorably to the sewing machine work feed regardless of the characteristics of the work fabric being sewn and without materially limiting the work thickness capacity of the presser device. This object of the invention is attained by the use of a thin planar metallic work engaging plate arranged beneath the traveling shoe and cooperating in combination with a work feed dog surmounted with resilient material.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a novel coupling between the traveling shoe of the presser device and the work engaging plate which will readily accommodate different thicknesses of work fabric as well as work thickness variation either side-toside or front-to-back. This object of the invention is attained by the provision on one of the members to be coupled of a bracket having a flat planar portion which is parallel to the sole plate of the traveling shoe and which is formed with a narrow slot through which extends a blade projecting from the other of the members to be coupled.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS With the above and additional objects and advantages in view as will hereinafter appear, this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Referring to the drawings, 11 indicates the work supporting bed of the sewing machine which carries a throat plate 12 and a slide cover plate 13 on which work fabrics are also adapted to be supported. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the throat plate 12 is formed with a needle aperture 14 and with feed dog slots 15 through which the limbs of a feed dog 16 project upwardly. Preferably in this invention, the feed dog limbs, and particularly the tops thereof, are covered with a layer 17 of resilient material such as synthetic rubber or the like.
In FIG. 1 a fragment of the sewing machine head 20 is shown in which the needle bar 21 is endwise recipro-' cable with capacity for lateral jogging movement. A thread carrying needle 22 clamped to the needle bar transverses the needle aperture 14 in the throat plate in the formation of the stitches defining the button hole.
Also carried in a bushing 23 in the sewing head is a presser bar 24 to which a presser foot shank 25 is clamped by a thumb screw 26. A presser foot 27 formed with cheek pieces 28 and a pivot pin 29 may be exchangeably secured to the shank 25 as disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,1 14 issued Jan. 13, 1970 which is incorporated herein by reference.
The presser foot 27 as best shown in FIG. 3, is provided with a needle accommodating aperture 30 and is formed at each side with upstanding guide projections 31 which fit into inturned guide channels 32 formed at each side of a traveling work engaging shoe 33.
The work engaging shoe 33 includes a flat sole portion 34 which underlies the presser foot 27 and overlies the feed dog limbs 16 as shown, for instance, in FIG. 4. The sole portion 34 is formed with a central elongated aperture 35 to provide clearance for needle reciprocation during buttonhole stitching. The sole portion is "also-formed with a notch 36 at one end and with a small aperture 37 adjacent to the notch for the purpose of loeating thereon a button gauging device as will be described hereinbelow. One of the guide channels 32, moveover, is formed adjacent to the notched end of the sole'portion with a lengthwise slot 38.
The presser foot 27 is slidably arranged within the guide channels 32 of the work engaging shoe 33 and can move therein over the range in which the needle hole in the presser foot overlies the needle hole 35 in the shoe 33.
An anchor element of the button gauging device is formed with a base 41 having guide projections 42 at each side adapted to fit between the guide channels 32 of the work engaging shoe 33. Depending from the base 41 are two projections 43 and 44 adapted to enter into the notch 36 and small aperture 35, respectively, of the shoe 33 to lock the anchor element firmly in place at one end of the shoe.
The anchor element 40 also includes an upwardly extending abutment 45 formed with a V notch 46 adapted to engage and center one side of a round button. A horizontal peg 47 projects from the abutment 45 on the side opposite the V notch 46.
The top surface of the anchor element base 41 is formed with evenly spaced lateral indentations 48 and an upstanding post 49 is formed at the free extremity of the base portion remote from the V notch.
The under surface of the anchor element base 41 beneath the post 49 is formed with a depending flange 50 defining a shallow cavity 51 loosely accommodating the convoluted extremity 52 of a coil flat spring 53 of which the other extremity is formed into a hook 54 engaged in a seat 55 formed in the presser foot 27.
The anchor element 40 is adapted to be locked in place at one extremity of the work engaging shoe 33. Preferably, the assembly being accomplished by slight deformation of the anchor element 40 until the projections 43 and 44 enter and lock into the switch 36 and the aperture 37 respectively.
A button gauging element is constrained in the guide channels 32 of the work engaging shoe 33 between the anchor element 40 and the presser foot 27. To this end, the button gauging element is formed with spaced guide rails 61 and 62 each shaped to overlie one of the guide channels 32 of the work engaging shoe and, as shown in FIG. 4, each also being formed with an inturned lip 63 and 64, respectively, adapted to engage slidably in the guide channels 32 and inside of both the guide projections 31 on the presser foot and the guide projections 42 on the anchor element. The button gauging element 60 may be shifted away from the anchor element 40 to the extent permitted by the post 49 engaging the abutment 65.
The button guaging element 60 includes an upstanding element 65 formed with V notch 66 complemental to the V notch 46 in the abutment element 40 in centering and locating a button therebetween. A detent plunger 67 biased by a small spring 68 arranged in a cavity 69 in the button gauging element 60 works against the indentation 48 in the anchor element base 41 to define a series of positions of adjustment for the gauging element.
Projecting laterally from the guide rail 62 of the button gauging element is an actuating tab 70 adapted to serve the purpose similar to that of the cam element 130 of the referenced US. Pat. No. 3,656,433 Apr. 18, 1972 in signaling completion of the proper length of buttonhole sides stitching to accommodate a round button which is placed between the abutments 45 and 65. The devices of this invention may also be used on any zigzag sewing machine even if the sewing machine does not include linkages for automatically responding to the tab 70 in forming the buttonhole ends. Where such automatic linkages are not present, the tab 70 or a similar projection may be utilized as an indicia by which the operator may gauge the length of the buttonhole and manually regulate the change of machine controls to effect sewing of the buttonhole ends.
The device as thus far described constitutes an operative unit capable of performing quite satisfactorily when certain fabrics are inserted between the shoe 33 and the sewing machine throat plate 12. When used in this fashion, however, the sewing machine feed dog 16 will engage the work fabrics and move the shoe 33 by way of the work fabrics. The results may differ depending upon the particular characteristics of the fabrics being sewn.
In order to eliminate the effect of the variation in feed of the work and of the work engaging shoe 33 because of variation in the characteristics of the work fabric, a work engaging plate member is employed in this invention.
Preferably the work engaging plate member 80 is formed with a thin metallic portion 81 which is arranged beneath and substantially parallel to the sole portion 34 of the work engaging shoe 33. Beneath the work engaging shoe, the portion 81 of the plate member 80 is formed substantially planar so as to utilize only a minimum of the space available between the shoe 33 and throat plate 12. In combination with a sewing machine feed dog with limbs covered with resilient material 17, a thin hardened metallic work engaging plate can cooperate successfully without the requirement of a space consuming layer of cushioning material which might be required for use with a feed dog with serrated or knurled metallic work engaging limbs.
The portion 81 of the work engaging plate is preferably formed with a clearance aperture 82 and beyond the vertical projection of the work engaging shoe 33, a raised stiffening rib 83 may be formed which as shown in FIG. 4, will not detract from the space for work fabrics.
The provision will now be described for supporting the work engaging plate 80 beneath the shoe 33 in such a way that the work engaging plate will partake of translatory movement with the shoe 33 with the aperture 82 in the plate remaining always oriented substantially in alignment with the aperture 35 in the shoe 33. The support will also provide for wide variation of the spacing between the plate 80 and the shoe 33 as well as for freedom of the work engaging plate 80 to tilt either lengthwise or from side to side to accommodate uneven work thicknesses.
To support the work engaging plate 80 in the manner described above, a support bracket is provided fixed to the work engaging shoe 33. While the support bracket 90 may be fixed in any of a variety of ways to the shoe 33 as by welding or by being formed integrally therewith when the shoe is manufactured, the support bracket in the preferred embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6 is formed as a separate piece which is fixed to the shoe in the following fashion.
The support bracket 90 is formed with an extension 91 adapted to fit through the slot 38 in the guide channel 32. A recess 92 is formed beneath the anchor element 40 to accommodate the extension 91, as shown in FIG. 4 and the extension 91 is formed with anotch 93 and an aperture 94 to accommodate the projections 43 and 44, respectively depending from the anchor element. In addition, the support bracket 90 adjacent to the extension 91 is formed with a small slit 95 defining a corner 96 which is struck up slightly to abut the guide channel 34 and prevent twisting of support bracket 90 relatively to the shoe 33.
The support bracket 90 is formed with asubstantial planar portion 97 extending to one side of the shoe 33 when the parts are assembled and arranged substantially parallel to the sole portion 34 of the shoe. A noncircular aperture 98 is formed in the planar portion 97, the aperture 98 preferably taking the form of a narrow straight slot elongated in the direction parallel to the guide channel 32 of the shoe 33. The slot may be formed with a small laterally extending branch 99 at each extremity and this is done solely to facilitate the design of a punch to produce the aperture in such a way that burrs may be eliminated at the extremities of the slot.
Cooperating with the aperture 98 in the support bracket 90 is a projection 100 bent upwardly at a substantially right angle to the flat planar portion 81 of the work engaging plate 80. The projection 100 is preferably formed with lateral offsets 101 at each side so that the overall thickness of the projection can match closely the width of the aperture 98 and this overall width may exceed the thickness of the sheet metal of which the work supporting plate 80 is formed.
Near the juncture of the projection 100 with the work engaging plate, the projection is formed at each side with a step 102 below which the projection is larger in dimension than the length of the aperture 98. This arrangement limits movement of the projection 100 upwardly through the aperture and prevents the work engaging plate 80 from becoming wedged in an abnormal canted position relatively to the support bracket in which case permanent deformation of the parts might result.
When the buttonholing presser device of this invention is utilized, the presser foot shank 25 of the sewing machine is snapped onto the pivot pin 29 of the buttonhole presser foot 27 and with the presser foot raised. work fabrics are placed between the work engaging shoe 33 and the work engaging plate 80. Because the aperture 98 is formed in a thin substantially planar portion 97 of the support bracket, very slight clearances between the projection 100 and the aperture 98 in width and length of the projection, provide for appreciable capacity for tilting of the work engaging plate 80 in lateral as well as lengthwise directions. The coiled spring 53 serves always to bias the work engaging shoe 33 toward the left as viewed in FIGS. 1 and 3, and, therefore, the shoe 33 will be biased into an extreme position by the spring 53 whenever the presser bar of the sewing machine is raised so that each successive buttonhole can be started with the shoe 33 in the same extreme position. By setting the gauging element 60 to grip a button between the V" notches (45-66) the tab 70 will be located in an appropriate position along the shoe 33 to influence mechanism on the sewing machine such as is disclosed in the above referred to U.S. Pat. No. 3,565,433 to cause a buttonhole to be formed of appropriate length to accommodate that button. or the tab can provide a visual indication to assist the operator.
6 Shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 is a modified form of this invention differing from the form disclosed above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 only, as to the manner in which a support .bracket 190 is formed and arranged for ready attachment andremoval from the work en: gaging shoe 33. As shown in FIG. 8, the support bracket 190v is formed with a downwardly offset exterior,v 191 adapted to extend beneath the work engaging shoe 33. The free extremity of the extension 191 is formed with an upturned and slightly inturned jaw 192 adapted to cooperate with a similarly inturned jaw 193 which is struck out from an incised section 194 of the support bracket. The jaws 192 and 193 grip the guide channels 32 of the work engaging shoe 33 as shown in FIG. 9 to constrain the support bracket 190 thereon. To locate the support bracket 190 lengthwise along the'shoe 33, the extension 191 may be formed with a small circular land 195 struck upwardly and adapted to fit into the aperture 37 in the sole portion 34 ofthe shoe 33. An upturned tab 196 may also be provided on the extension 191 and formed with anaperture 197 adapted to accommodate the horizontal peg 47 projecting from the anchor element 47 thus to lock the support bracket firmly in place on the shoe 33. The form of construction of the support bracket 190 shown in the modification of FIGS. 7, 8,
and 9 is thus particularly well suited for adaptation of this invention to existing presser devices which were not manufactured with special provision for accommodation in this invention. The support bracket 190 may be simply clipped in place on the work engaging shoe 33. The support bracket 190 is formed with a noncircular aperture 198 preferably shaped identical to that of the aperture 98 in the support bracket 90 so that the same work engaging plate may be utilized exchangeably with either of the support brackets or 190.
As shown in F IG. 10, which illustrates a bottom plan view of the work engaging plate 80, the under surface thereof and particularly an area surrounding the clearance aperture 82, may be formed with a roughened texture as, for instance, by a sand blasting operation or the like. The roughened surface can thus cooperate in a uniform manner with the sewing machine feed dog. in addition, a small strip 200 of antifriction material such as synthetic plastic or the like may be adhered adjacent to the back edge of the work engaging plate 80. Since this poriton of the plate overlies the sewing machine bed 11 rearwardly of the throat plate 12 as shown in FIG. 1, the antifriction material will serve to protect the finish of the sewing machine bed 11 from abrasion.
