The operation of the sewing machine presser foot 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail below. Fig. 10 is a front view of a main portion of the sewing machine presser foot 10 showing a positional relationship between the cam groove 66 and the cam pin 71 when the fastener element row 93 other than the switching portion C (X point in fig. 13) is guided. In fig. 10, for example, a piece of cloth 95 and a fastener tape 92 are sewn. Fig. 11 is a front view of a main portion of the sewing machine presser foot 10 showing a positional relationship between the cam groove 66 and the cam pin 71 when the fastener element row 93 of the switching portion C (Y point in fig. 13) is guided. In fig. 11, a plurality (e.g., 3) of cloth pieces 95, 95 and a fastener tape 92 are sewn. As shown in fig. 10, the position of the element guide 20 in the left-right direction is maintained at the initial position by the urging force of the urging member 50 except for the switching portion C. The initial position of the element guide 20 in the left-right direction means a state in which the element guide 20 is located at the right end in the movable left-right direction.
As shown in fig. 10, when the element guide 20 moves upward against the urging force of the urging member 50 due to the total thickness of the fastener tape 92 and the cloth 95 disposed on the sewing machine table M, the pin holding block 70 moves upward with the movement of the element guide 20. At this time, the element guide 20 moves upward only by the pin holding block 70, the fixed shaft 32, and the guide holding portion 35 until the element guide 20 reaches a predetermined height range with respect to the stem 11, that is, while the cam pin 71 and the bearing 77 are positioned in the first groove portion 66a of the cam groove 66, the position of the element guide 20 in the left-right direction is the initial position.
On the other hand, when the element guide 20 moves further upward beyond the predetermined height range, as shown in fig. 11, the cam pin 71 and the bearing 77 move obliquely upward along the inside of the second groove portion 66b of the cam groove 66, the pin holding block 70 moves upward and leftward with respect to the cam block 65, and the element guide 20 also moves upward and leftward via the fixed shaft 32. That is, the position of the element guide 20 in the left-right direction is located to the left of the initial position.
The diameter of the cam pin 71 is smaller than the diameter of the cam groove 66, and the cam pin 71 is movably fitted into the cam groove 66. The cam pin 71 moves counterclockwise rotationally along the inclined surface of the cam groove 66. That is, in fig. 10, the cam pin 71 moves in contact with the right end surface of the cam groove 66 when moving upward, and the cam pin 71 moves in contact with the left end surface of the cam groove 66 when moving downward. In fig. 11, the cam pin 71 moves in contact with the upper right inclined surface of the cam groove 66 when moving upward, and the cam pin 71 moves in contact with the lower left inclined surface of the cam groove 66 when moving downward.
Returning to fig. 1, the block cover 75 is fixed to the right side surface of the cam block 65, and is bent to abut against the rear surface of the pin holding block 70. Thereby, the restricting pin holding block 70 is displaced in the front-rear direction when moving in the up-down direction or the left-right direction.
The timing adjustment unit 80 rotates the timing adjustment knob 81, and moves the cam block 65 up and down via the adjustment shaft 82 while guiding the cam block 65 via the base member 61 fixed to the lever 11. Thereby, the timing adjustment unit 80 adjusts the height of the cam block 65 with respect to the stem 11 and the base member 61, and sets the start timing of the movement of the element guide 20 with respect to one side of the stem 11 in the lateral direction.
A fixing screw 84 is provided on the right side surface of the base member 61, and the fixing screw 84 is used to fix the cam block 65 to the base member 61 after the height adjustment of the base member 61 by the timing adjustment knob 81.
Further, a height display portion 85 is attached to the rear surface of the base member 61, and the height display portion 85 displays a scale for confirming the height position of the cam block 65.
Thus, in a plan view of the sewn product 9 in which the spiral elements of the pair of fastener element rows 93, 93 are engaged with each other, as shown in fig. 13, the position of the sewing line 94 at the switching portion C is farther from the abutting surface 96 of the facing cloth materials 95 than the portions other than the switching portion C. Since the switching portion C is sewn at a position that is longer than the portion other than the switching portion C from the abutting surface 96, the abutting surface 96 at the switching portion C is positioned slightly closer to the sewing line 94 than the abutting surface 96 other than the switching portion C by the tension of the sewing line 94. That is, by positioning the abutting surface 96 at the switching portion C on the sewing line 94 side, the contact area between the cloth of the sewn article 9 and the slider can be reduced, and the sliding resistance can be reduced. Therefore, when the slider, not shown, passes through the switching portion C, it is possible to prevent the slider from being laborious to slide at a thick portion of the cloth, such as the switching portion of the cloth, and it is possible to prevent the slide fastener 91 and the cloth 95 from being broken by repeating the sliding of the slider.
Further, the timing adjustment unit 80 can adjust the height of the cam block 65 with respect to the stem 11 and set the start timing of the movement of the element guide 20 with respect to the stem 11 in one lateral direction, and therefore, can easily set the start timing of the movement of the element guide 20 with respect to the stem 11 in one lateral direction in advance according to the thicknesses of the fastener tape 92 and the cloth 95.
The present utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and improved.
