Abstract
An improved device for changing the trajectory of the upper looper in an overlocking stitching machine in which the looper carrying rod slides in a cylindrical element contained within a support body having support means located at different distances from the rocking axis of the cylindrical element so that the position of support body can be reversed to change the path of the looper trajectory.
Claims2
A device for adjusting the trajectory of the upper looper in an overlocking sewing machine, comprising a cylindrical element with a diametrical bore in which the looper carrying rod is disposed, said cylindrical element being disposed for rocking about an axis in a support body having two opposing slots in which said looper carrying rod moves, characterized in that said support is provided with two horizontal rectilinear slots in which there are engaged two pins which can be fixed in their turn to the machine frame, the slot axes being at different distances from the horizontal plane passing through the rocking axis of said cylindrical element, the difference between said distances being equal to the displacement in height of the rocking axis of said cylindrical element on rotating said support through 180.degree. with positional change-over of said horizontal slots.
