Definitions

  • This invention relates toa household or domestic machine of the character wherein the sewing stitches are arranged in zigzag-fashion across the median line of stitches.
  • sewing machines of this character have a device wherein each set of stitches, measured longitudinally of the stitch line, varies from wide central stitches of the set to narrow stitches at the ends of the set.
  • Certain machines are arranged for the narrow I stitch portions to be positioned to the left or right sides of the maximum width of stitch and also to be arranged centrally thereof. In order to accomplish this disposition of the stitches, certain shifting means for the needle frame are used.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a novel form of means for shifting the needle frame, as will be hereinafter set forth.
  • a second important object of the invention is to provide a device of this kind wherein the main shaft of the machine head serves to drive an oscillating member suitably connected to the needle frame to actuate the same.
  • 'A third important object of the invention is to provide means whereby the oscillating member may be adjusted to regulate the extent of the oscillation of the needle, frame relative to the normal line of stitching.
  • a fifth important object of the invention is to acters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 illustrates the front elevation of the operative parts of a machine constructed in accordance with this invention, certain of the parts being shown in section in order to disclose those within the machine head;
  • Figure2 illustrates a plan view of the machine shown in Figure 1, also having certain of the parts in section for the-purpose of showing operative devices within the machine head;
  • Figure 3 illustrates a detail elevation showing the needle supporting frame adjusted so that all stitches lie equally on both sides of the normal stitch path
  • Figure 4 illustrates a view similar to Figure 3 but showing the frame adjusted to throw the narrower stitches to the left'of the normal stitch path;
  • Figure 5 illustrates a view similar to Figure 4 but showing the frame adjusted to throw stitches of smaller scope to the right of the normal needle path;
  • Figure 6 illustrates an enlarged detail view showing the device for laterally oscillating the stitch member to theright of the normal needle Path
  • Figure 7 illustrates a section on the line 7-1 of Figure 6;
  • Figure 8 illustrates an enlarged fragmentary view showing the means for shifting the needle path to one side or the other of its normal position
  • Figure 9 illustrates a cross sectional view of the parts shown in Figure 8 and certain other parts, the view being taken at right angles to Figure 8;
  • Figure 10 illustrates a view similar to Figure 6 but showing a slight modification thereof
  • Figure 11 illustrates a view similar to Figure 8 but showing the means for adjusting the oscillating member toregulate the extent of the oscillations of the needle frame;
  • Figure '12 illustrates a detail section on th line i2-i2 of Figure 13;

  • a crank member :8 On the shaft 3 is fixed a crank member :8 which is connected by a link 5 to an adjustable head 6 mounted on a needle bar 8 for selective bar 8 is supported in a guide frame I having an oscillatable floor end, the upper end being fixed by a carrier or head member 9 which engages in a socket member I at the upper end of the frame I.
  • This member 9 is mounted on a transverse pivot carried by the machine head I.
  • 5 which is supported at one end in a bore I6 formed in the head I and at its other end in Thereby the shaft I5 is rotated when the shaft 3 rotates.
  • the gear ratio between the shafts 3 and I5 is such that the shaft 3 rotates twice in order to cause the rotation once of the shaft IS.
  • the connection between the swinging frame I and the eccentric I4 is quite similar to that commonly used in a Stephenson reversing gear.
  • the eccentric I4 is engaged between the arms of a fork 2
  • the head I is provided with a journal member or journal supporting member la, wherein is mounted a bushing 23 supporting theshaft 25 and secured in the journal Ia by means of a set screw 24.
