Definitions

  • the present invention relates to domestic sewing machines, in particular to the zig-zag mechanism of such a machine..
  • the needle bar performs a vertical movement and a horizontal movement of which the lattet is controlled by a guiding means which keeps the bar in an adjusted position during the downward movement of the needle which is effected by a crank and a connecting rod.
  • a torque on the needle bar created by the resistance in the needle movement can be so great that the needle is laterally moved from the adjusted position, whereby the needle is broken.
  • the guiding means has a rather limited force of keeping of the adjusted position and therefore it is important to make an arrangement having a very small torque on the needle bar when moving the needle.
  • the upper arm of the invention has a crank shaft perpendicular to the zig-zag movement of the needle.
  • the problem forming the basis of the invention is how to achieve a simple propulsion on the needle bar when the crank shaft is positioned In this way including links and connecting means so that the guiding means of the zig-zag movement will not be disturbed by the driving force of the needle bar.
  • the solution of the problem leads to a positioning of the connection between the connecting rod and the needle bar at a point which approximately coincides with the fulcrum of the zig-zag movement in the moment when the needle penetrates the cloth.
  • FIG. 1 a sketch of a needle bar mechanism with a top journalled needle bar
  • Fig. 2 a sketch of a mechanism with a center journalled needle bar
  • Fig. 3 a sketch of a mechanism with an oval-shaped movement path of the connecting rod
  • Fig. 4 the same mechanism as in Fig. 3 in another position
  • Fig. 5 a perspective view of such a mechanism.
  • the sewing machine according to the invention is provided with a hollow body having an upper arm, in the end of which there is a horizontal pin 10 and a needle bar frame 11 journalled thereon to be swingable in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the machine.
  • the adjustment of the frame, the zig-zag position, is effected by a guiding means 12 shown in a block in Figs. 1-4.
  • a connecting rod 13 is connected at a point 14 to a needle bar 15 journalled in the frame.
  • a crank shaft 16 is journalled in the body perpendicular to the zig-zag direction, its crank pin 17 is connected to the connecting rod, and a force is transferred from the crank shaft to the needle bar via the connecting rod when the needle hits the material.
  • the mechanism in Figs. 3 and 4 involves still another improvement of the device.
  • the propulsion of the connecting rod is here effected by means of a link system creating an oval movement 19.
  • the system consists of a pin 20 disposed in the body and a link 21 journalled thereon and a crank arm 22 carrying a crank pin 17.
  • An arm 23 connects the crank pin to two bearings 24, 25 of the link and the connecting rod, respectively.
  • L 1 is here very small which brings a slight influence of the force in the connecting rod on the guiding means 12. This means can therefore be dimensioned for a much less keeping force of the position than what is the case in the device according to Fig. 1.
  • the pin 20 may be provided with an adjustable attachment so it may be raised or lowered in the body, thereby allowing an adjustment of the needle level in a simple way.
  • Fig. 5 the mechanism is shown as a module in a plate frame 28 which either can constitute a part of the upper arm of the machine or be an independent part which is mounted in the arm.
  • An arm 29 is provided on the- crank pin 17 and has a pin 30 which carries a bearing of a sliding block 31 on a rod 32 which is fastened to a thread take-up lever 33 journalled on a shaft 34 in the module frame.
  • the end of the arm has a thread guide 35 which in the usual way takes up the upper thread during a phase of the stitch forming procedure.
  • the arm is driven by the crank shaft in a vertical, oscillating movement; when the crank pin moves in its circular path the sliding block 31 slides up and down on the rod 32 swinging the same to and fro and the arm is following in the oscillating movement.
  • the adjusting force for the zig-zag movement can be reduced in a device according to Fig. 4.
  • the zig-zag movement is effected by a step motor 36 and a gear and link system connected thereto.
  • a pinion 37 is in mesh with a rack 38 which in one end has an angular recess 39.
  • the rack carries a pin 40 which is entered in an extension 41 of the needle bar frame which thereby follows the movement of the rack.
  • the pin is normally kept in the bottom of the angular recess thanks to the two sloping edges 44, 45 thereof and to a couple of compression springs 42, 43 which on the opposite side of the rack are fastened to the frame.
