Patent GB-190718869-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or in connection with Sewing Machines.
Inventor: NORTH WILLIAM STANLEY
Filed: 1907-08-21
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 18,869. North, W. S. Aug. 21. Sewing-machines, governing under thread in.-A rotary under-thread controller takes up the thread on the forward movement of the looper, pulls a small amount of thread from the supply at the end of the forward movement, and again takes up the thread as the looper returns. The thread is led from the supply to a stationary thread-guide on the frame, and a movable thread-guide on the needle lever 3, Fig. 1, through a tension device, to the thread clamp and to the guides 16, 17, Fig. 2, and so to the looper. Between the guides 16, 17 are placed the two similar cam-disks 14, 15, mounted on the shaft 4 The looper 7, Fig. 1, is oscillated by the rod 9 from the needle lever, through the link 11 and the rock lever 10, and the looper carrier, pivotally mounted on the support 8, is oscillated from the shaft 4 by the fork 12, thus giving the looper a lateral movement. The thread clamp consists of two spring plates 25,26, which are pressed together by a screw projection on the looper support 8 when this support is oscillated at the end of the forward stroke of the looper. In this position, the needle is at the top of its stroke. As it descends and the looper returns, the eccentric portion of the cam 14 between f and a, Fig. 5, draws up the slack until, when the needle is within the looperthread loop, the wire 23 casts the thread off on to the concentric portion between a and b. As shown in Fig. 2, the heel of the looper passes beyond the thread-eye 16 at the extreme back end of its stroke, and the concentric portion of tha take-up is so disposed as to allow a little slack at this point ; this slack is immediately taken up, as the looper starts to move forward, by the cam-surface near c coming into action. Meanwhile the thread clamp is opened by the oscillation of the holder 8. As the looper moves forward, the thread is made taut by the cam-surface at c, which also draws a little thread from the supply. When the looper point is well in the needle loop, the thread is cast off from the take-up, and the looper consumes the slack thus formed and draws the remainder of the thread necessary for the stitch, from the supply. At the end of the forward stroke, the looper is oscillated transversely and the thread clamp closed. The looper is given a dwell at its forward end by the link 11 moving up to and slightly across the vertical at this point, and the take-up is so designed that the cams are out of contact with the thread during this dwell.
