Claims5
In a sewing device, comprising a stand, a workpiece supporting plate, workpiece clamping means, and a sewing machine received by said stand having stitch forming means including a looptaker rotatable about a specific axis relative to said clamping means and carrying a bobbin with a thread supply, control means for moving said workpiece clamping means relative to said stitch forming means, means for driving said control means and said looptaker, and means for moving said looptaker away from a sewing position in said axis to an easily accessible position in a different axis without disengaging its connection to said drive means whereby a clamped workpiece remains undisplaced relative to said workpiece supporting plate when said looptaker is replenished with thread supply.
In a sewing device, comprising a stand, a sewing machine received by said stand and having stitch forming means including a looptaker carrying a thread supply, a workpiece supporting plate, workpiece clamping means, control means for moving said workpiece clamping means relatively to said stitch forming means and means for driving said sewing machine with said looptaker and said control means, means for carrying said looptaker from a sewing position to an easily accessible position in order to allow a replenishment of said looptaker with thread supply, said stitch forming means of said sewing machine further including a vertical shaft for receiving said looptaker and transmitting means between said driving means of said sewing machine and said vertical shaft, and said means for carrying said looptaker from a sewing position to an easily accessible position include means for preventing disengagement of said transmitting means when tilting said vertical shaft carrying said looptaker, said sewing machine further including a horizontal shaft and a saddle for receiving said vertical shaft and said horizontal shaft, and said transmitting means include meshing gears connecting said vertical shaft with said horizontal shaft, and wherein said means for carrying said looptaker from a sewing position to an easily accessible position further comprises means for tilting said saddle with said looptaker about the axis of said horizontal shaft whereby a clamped workpiece remains undisplaced when said looptaker is replenished with thread supply.
A sewing device for sewing fabric cuts on workpiece parts, comprising a stand, a workpiece supporting plate, workpiece clamping means, a sewing machine, including a needle, a lockstitch looptaker carrying a bobbin, a vertical shaft carrying said looptaker, a horizontal shaft, gear means connecting said vertical shaft and said horizontal shaft and a saddle for receiving said vertical shaft and said horizontal shaft, control means for moving said workpiece clamping means relatively to said needle, means for driving said sewing machine and said control means and means for carrying said looptaker from a sewing position to an easily accessible position in order to allow an exchange of said bobbin, comprising means for tilting said saddle with said looptaker about the axis of said horizontal shaft, consisting of an actuating lever fastened to said saddle and a pneumatic cylinder linked to said actuating lever and said sewing machine whereby a clamped workpiece remains undisplaced when said looptaker is replenished with thread supply.
