Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shuttle holder for a multiple needle quilting machine.
  • the invention is characterized in that the holder has an upper part and a lower part separable therefrom, and the two parts are guided longitudinally on at least a portion of their length, and releasable stopping means are present which prevent a relative displacement of upper part and lower part in operation.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical sectional view through a shuttle holder in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the shuttle holder shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view, enlarged, taken on line III-III of FIG. 1.
  • the shuttle holder of the present invention is adapted for use in quilting machines of well known type having provisions for feeding the layers of materials to be quilted and removing the quilted fabric, the stitching being accomplished by tube driven twin row multiple needles and shuttles.
  • the shuttle movement is driven from a main drive shaft with regulatable crankshaft having twin actuation for shuttle movement.
  • the shuttle holder has an upper part 1 and a lower part 2, which are held together by a dovetail joint or guide 13 in such a manner that these parts can be displaced relatively to one another lengthwise.
  • the lower shuttle holder part 2 is fastened by screws 6 on front and rear driver arms 3 and 4 of the quilting machine (not shown).
  • the driver arms 3 and 4 are in turn fastened by screws to front and rear supports 5 forming part of the frame (not shown) of the machine.
  • the upper shuttle holder part 1 is provided with three cams 9 on which driver pins 8 made of plastic, preferably a polyamide, are mounted. These driver pins 8 are so constructed that they support and hold in their working position two shuttles 13 disposed in tandem.
  • resiliently mounted tongue 11 or catch is present underneath the upwardly projecting handle 10, the said tongue or catch 11 being held yieldingly by a leaf spring 12 and lying against a shoulder 17 of the upper part 1.
  • the spring 12 is clamped fast between the driver arm 4 and the bottom part 2 by means of a screw 6.
  • the position of the upper part is limited by an upwardly directed stop 15 on the lower shuttle holder part 2.
  • the dovetail guide 13 extends approximately over the entire length of the upper and lower shuttle holder parts 1 and 2, and at least over the span between the driver arms 3 and 4 so that a good, play-free guidance is produced.
  • the driver pins 8 are set tightly and firmly on cam 9 by means of screws 16, so that they cannot shift in operation. Any slight corrections of position for the shuttles are performed by means of the screws 6, since the hole in the driver arms 3 and 4 is somewhat larger than the outside diameter of the thread.
  • the catch 11 is pressed down, whereupon the upper shuttle holder part 1 can be drawn out together with the shuttles 13 by means of the handle 10.
  • a shuttle holder for a multiple needle quilting machine comprising:
  • said upper holder member having members for the mounting of a plurality of shuttles therealong, and
  • said shuttle holder members having slidably engaging interfitting longitudinal portions restricting relative movement of said members to longitudinal slidable movement
  • releasable holding means for retaining said upper and lower holder members against relative longitudinal movement.
  • a shuttle holder as defined in claim 1 in which a plurality of longitudinally spaced driver pins are provided on said upper holder member for holding at least two shuttles.
