  • the cam bar 50 is shifted to the right as viewed in Figs. 2 and 11 relative to the index plate SI and guide block I09, thereby starting the operation of the stitch forming device somewhat later during the travel of the stud 95 in the laterally offset guide groove IN on initial or rearward movement of the stitching head.
  • the cooperating elements I32, I34 and I33, I35 are shifted inthe earlier explained manner relative to the linear groove II4. Consequently, there will be less offsetting of the stitches b and b at the fly-bar end, and the stitches b and b will be more or less spread out laterally and appear overlapping instead of completely superimposed as in Figs. 4 and 8. While the adjustability of the cooperating elements I32, I35 and I33, I34 may thus be employed to vary the width of the fly bar, its chief importance is in permitting the exact superposition of the fly bar stitches b, b, as is usually desirable, irrespective of their width.
  • the cooperating elements I32, I34 and I33, I35 are so adjusted as to form one groove which is in alinement with the narrow portion I14 of the linear groove II4. Consequently, there will be no lateral offsetting of the stitches when the stitching operation commences while the stud 96 travels somewhere between the opposite faces of said cooperating elements I32 to I 35, inclusive.
  • the same result can also be accomplished by adjusting the cam bar 50 so far away from the guide block I09 that the stitching operation will not be started until the stud 96 moves in the rearward portion II4b cf the linear groove II4.
  • the over-all aieaim length of a bar-less buttonhole is necessarily smaller by the last mentioned kind of adjustment than by the first mentioned kind, and the choice of the kind of adjustment depends on the desired over-all length of the button hole, as can be readily understood.
  • the stud I is shifted in the slot 69 of lever 65 to the right as viewed in Fig. 3, thereby causing the eccentric motion of the stud 96 to take place at lower speed and, consequently, during a longer period of the longitudinal motion of the stitching head.
  • the result is that the offsetting oi the stitches d and d will start and end, respectively, at coincident points in the rearward and return movement of the stitcl nng head 42 which are farther away from the point of reversal of said stitching head.
  • Corresponding adjustment of the stud I86 in theslot I84 of lever I82 will cause the stitches f to diverge around an end portion of the longer eye to one side of the greatest width thereof in the manner shown in Fig. 8.
  • the stud 95 is adjusted coaxially oi the shaft 9
  • the disclosed machine embodying the present invention in a preferred form, is a self-contained structure of rugged and durable construction and does not require interchanging of any parts thereof in order to accomplish the manifold results explained in the preceding description.
  • the commercial value of the present machine is further enhanced in that its adaptation to the sewing of a buttonhole of practically any desired shape and size requires only a minimum number of simple adjustments.

  • mere adjustment of the stud ID on lever 65 (Fig. 3) results in a different length of an eye.
