Title: Lubricating device for sewing machine loop-takers
IPC: D05B71/02
Filed: 1944-05-20
Abstract: 584,382. Sewing-machines. SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. May 20, 1944, No. 9797. Convention date, Dec. 21, 1943. [Class 112] [Also in Group XXXIV] Lubricating.-In a rotary-hook lock-stitch sewing-machine in which the axis of the hook is'vertical lubricant is fed to the hook raceway through a bore in the hook shaft which is inclined away from the axis of the shaft so as to produce a centrifugal force to lift the lubricant along it, and the lower end of this bore is fed by a conduit or auxiliary reservoir having its intake opening above the level of the lubricant in a main reservoir, oil being lifted to the intake opening by means acting when the machine is in operation. In the arrangement shown, the hook shaft 25 is driven by helical gears from a horizontal shaft 19, the gearing being enclosed in a housing 29 which acts as an oil reservoir, having at one corner a chamber into which a filler-plug 78 (acting also as a dip-gauge) enters. Part of the floor of this chamber is raised to form a ledge 52 a little above the level of the oil, and the lower end of the hook shaft 25 bears in a bushing 30 in this part of the chamber floor, the lower end of the bore of the bushing being closed by a plug 65 having a spigot portion extending into a bore in the end of the shaft 25. In operation, oil is lifted, by the gear on the shaft 19, on to the ledge 52, whence some of it enters a duct in a valve-plug 54, with which a spring-raised screw-adjusted valve member 56 co-operates, and passes through other ducts, which also act as an auxiliary reservoir, to the lower end of the bore 70 in the hook shaft; the inclination of this bore raises the oil by centrifugal action to wick-filled ducts in the hook body. A helical groove 68 in the spigot of the plug 65 co-operates with the bore in the end of the shaft 25 to prevent downward seepage of oil around the spigot and to collect a certain amount of oil when the machine stops so that oil supply to the hook raceway is resumed as soon as possible after restarting; this groove may, however, be dispensed with, the spigot then being made smaller than the bore in the end of the shaft 25. and in a further modification the spigot is absent.

Filed: 1928-03-31
Abstract: 311,061. Wright, F. W., Turnbull, D. H., and Mann & Co., Ltd., G. March 31, 1928. Tripping-arrangements.-An automatic tripping mechanism for printing-machines is brought into action if a sheet is not presented at the proper time to the front lays 2, and the machine is untripped upon correct presentation of a following sheet by means controlled by the sheet. The sheet is acted on as it passes over the table 1 to the lays 2 by feeler fingers 3 pivoted to an adjustable lever arm 4 on a shaft 6 oscillated by a lever arm 8, link 9, and a lever 18 freely mounted on a shaft 15. The lever 18 is mounted alongside of a freely mounted lever 14 which is oscillated by an adjustable cam 10 acting on a roller 13, the lever 14 being acted on by a compression spring 17 tending to move the lever 14 counter-clockwise. The link 9 is acted on by a tension spring 20, weaker than spring 17, and normally spring 20 maintains an abutment 23 on lever 18 in contact with lever 14, and the two levers move in synchronism. If, however, a sheet is missing, the feeler 3 drops into a recess 44, and the movement of lever 18 is restrained. This permits a spring 29 to move a pawl 27, which is normally restrained by an abutment 25 on lever 18, so that its arm 31 acts on an abutment 33 on a lever 34 also freely mounted on shaft 15, and moves this lever clockwise. This movement is transferred by a curved link 35 and link 37 to an arm 38 on a shaft 39 which operates to trip the machine in known manner. A catch 43 on a counterweighted lever 40 engages a runner 36 on link 35 to hold the machine in tripped condition. This catch can be released automatically upon correct presentation of the following sheet by the action of the arm 31 of pawl 27 on an abutment 42 of lever 40 when the feed is restored, or the lever 40 may be operated by hand.
