Abstract: 7460. Thompson, W. P., [Union Special Machine Co.]. March 29. Sewing-machines; governing needle thread; lubricating thread.-The needle thread passes through a light tension 24, Fig. 2, a heavy tension 25, which is released automatically when the presser-foot is lifted, an oiler 34, a threadmeasuring pull-off 37, 47, 53, the action of which varies automatically with the thickness of the material being sewn, a thread clamp 54, a needle take-up 60 having a co-operating arm 59 with a guide-eye the position of which also varies with the thickness of the material, and finally an auxiliary take-up 70. The presserbar 13, Fig. 4, carries at the top a pin 16, by which it is raised by a lever 18, Fig. 2, pivoted at 19, and a toothed segment 46 for moving a rock-shaft 44 as the thickness of the material varies. Mounted on the rock-shaft are the arm 59 and an arm 43 connected with the threadmeasuring device 37, by a rod 42. This device comprises a guide-pin 37, which is positioned by the rod 42, a fixed guide 53, and a guide 47 which is oscillated periodically by its connexion with a rock-shaft 40. This shaft is rocked by an eccentric on the main shaft. The thread-clamp 54, Fig. 5, is opened periodically by a cam on an arm 57 on the rock-shaft 40 engaging the pin 56. The heavy-tension device 25, Fig. 2, is released automatically by a lever 31, which is engaged by the presser-lifting lever 18 when this is depressed. The oiler 34 is carried on the bracket supporting the tension devices. Between the needle take-up 60 and the eyes of the needles, the threads pass through an auxiliary take-up comprising adjustable guides 61, 62 and an eye 70 which oscillates between them. The eye is formed in a lever 64, Fig. 4, pivoted at 65 and vibrated four times in each stroke of the needle by a link 66 connecting it with a block 67 on the needle-bar. This device takes up thread to prevent buckling in front of the needle on its downward stroke; it takes up thread at the end of the downward stroke to assist the needle in drawing up the previously shed needle loop; it takes up thread on the first part of the upward movement of the needle to draw the needle loop well up around the looper, and it takes up thread at the upper end of the stroke of the needle-bar to assist the needle-bar in setting the stitch and pulling thread from the supply.

Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 14,574. Spang, A. June 24. Boot-sole sewing machines; welt cutting and end-holding mechanism.-At the commencement of a welting operation, the free end of the welt is secured to the boot by the pointed end of a rod 11, which is moved so as to pierce both welt and upper by means of a hand rod 24 acting through the parts 21, 20 and lever 29, 30. In the first subsequent revolution of the machine, during which the welt is secured to the boot by a stitch, a pin 8 on the machine shaft pushes outwards a lever which is integral with the part 20 and is pivoted upon the rod 24. This movement disconnects the toothed ends of the lever 29 and the part 20 and a spring moves the rod 11 back and so removes the holding point from the welt. Mounted by the side of the rod 11 is a rod 14 provided at its end with a welt-cutting knife 13. This is actuated to sever the welt from the boot, during the reversal of the machine when the stitching is completed, by levers 36, 35 and a rod 32, the end of which is effectively engaged by a pin 12 on the machine shaft when the machine is reversed. The rods 11, 14 are mounted to permit sufficient lateral movement to enable them to move with the boot during a feeding movement, and when released from the boot they are returned to their normal positions by a spring-pressed plunger.
