Definitions

  • This invention relates to sewing machines of the lock stitch type in which an upper or needle thread is manipulated by a loop taker completely about a supply of under or bobbin thread and the two threads thus concatenated are set into the work fabrics. More particular- 1y, this invention relates to novel and improved mechanism in a lock stitch sewing machine for automatically replenishing the supply of under or bobbin thread during the normal operation of the sewing machine.
  • cyclically operated sewing machines inherently include programming means, such as pattern cams or the like, which may be utilized to coordinate automatically the bobbin thread replenishing and the normal sewing operations. It is an object of this invention to provide operator influenced means for at will initiating the bobbin thread replenishing function during continued operation of the stitch forming instrumentalities of the sewing machine in a manner as is required for the formation of lock stitches.
  • the bobbin thread replenishing is controlled by the programming mechanism of the sewing machine, the conditions such as the position of all the parts etc., upon each initiation of bobbin thread replenishment may be relied upon and the bobbin thread replenishing mechanism may thus be designed, constructed, and adjusted for such invariable conditions. It is an object of this invention to provide a bobbin thread replenishing mechanism which will operate successfully and unfailingly over a wide range of different conditions, such as position of the parts, etc. upon each initiation of bobbin thread replenishment at the will of the sewing machine operator.
  • Conventional straightaway sewing machines also differ from the usual cyclically operable variety in the use of a work feeding mechanism capable of advancing the Work continuously in one direction such as a drop feed rather than a shiftable work clamp. Whereas discontinuing of the work feed in a cyclic machine involves merely immobilizing the Work clamp, it is an object of this invention to provide a novel combination of a drop feed throw-out and means for operating the feed throw-out only during bobbin thread replenishing operations.
