20130068145 | Sewing Machine with a Thread Holding Device for Holding Needle Thread Remaining - A sewing machine includes a thread holding device disposed downstream of a thread take-up lever and upstream of a needle bar in terms of a threading path of a needle thread, and including a fixed first disc and a movable second disc movable by an electromechanical unit between holding and releasing positions to be closer to and remote from the first disc, respectively. The first and second discs respectively have first and second holding surfaces cooperatively defining a thread holding clearance to permit passage of the needle thread therethrough. The needle thread can be clamped in the thread holding clearance so as to prevent the needle thread being pulled out of the needle during a thread cutting procedure. A required amount of the needle thread remaining on the needle can be secured. | 03-21-2013 |
20120205215 | Clutch Device for a Needle Bar of a Sewing Machine - A clutch device used to couple/decouple a reciprocating force of a drive member to/from a needle bar in a sewing machine includes an actuating lever actuated by an electromechanical unit to be pivotable between an idle position to disengage from an actuated end of a clutch lever so as to leave a grasp end of the clutch lever in a coupled state, where the grasp end is engaged with a coupled portion disposed on a drive member, thereby transmit the reciprocating force to the needle bar, and an actuating position to be in pressing engagement with the actuated end so as to displace the grasp end to a decoupled state, where the grasp end is disengaged from the coupled portion. | 08-16-2012 |
20120180709 | THREAD CUTTING DEVICE FOR A SEWING MACHINE - A thread cutting device is adapted to be mounted under a bed of a sewing machine, and includes a mount having a marginal region which confronts a thread fetching zone, and a guide slot which is elongated parallel to a stroke path, a fixed knife disposed on the marginal region and having a blade aligned with the stroke path, a movable knife having a shank body which extends along the stroke path to terminate at actuated and hook ends, a drive unit disposed under the mount and having a rotatable output shaft to deliver a rotational force, and a rotation/translation conversion mechanism disposed to convert the rotational force into a translational force that is transmitted through the guide slot to actuate a translation of the actuated end of the shank body to thereby move the shank body between fetching and thread cutting positions. | 07-19-2012 |
20120079974 | Feed Dog Device for a Sewing Machine - A feed dog device for a sewing machine includes a feed dog mount mounted under a needle plate and having a feed dog mounted thereon to permit the feed dog to extend through slots in the needle plate. The feed dog mount is coupled with a lever through a force transmitting unit to couple an increased torque generated by a pivotal movement of the lever to the feed dog mount so as to enable a weight end of the lever to drive the feed dog mount to move reciprocatingly in a transverse direction perpendicular to a normal feeding direction of a fabric. The lever is actuated by a cam follower with a torque generated as a result of transmission through a rotary cam member which is rotated with an output shaft of the drive member. Since the feed dog can be reciprocatingly moved in the transverse direction, the sewing machine can perform a variety of sewing operations. | 04-05-2012 |
20110297062 | Device for Driving Movement of a Piece of Cloth to be Embroidered - A device for driving movement of a piece of cloth to be embroidered includes a driving unit for driving a mounting seat to move relative to a base unit. A cloth-holding frame device holds tensionally the piece of cloth between inner and outer frames, and includes an identification module mounted to a connecting block of the outer frame that is mounted detachably to mounting seat for generating an identification output corresponding to an embroidery area defined in the cloth-holding frame device. When the connecting block is connected to the mounting seat, the identification module is coupled to a control unit via a connecting port of the mounting seat. The control unit controls the driving unit based on the identification output from the identification module so that embroidery operation is performed on the piece of cloth disposed within the embroidery area in the cloth-holding frame device. | 12-08-2011 |
20110033289 | Bypass-Type Motor Protecting Device for a Vacuum Cleaner - A bypass-type motor protecting device includes: a casing fitted into a bypass opening in a body housing of a vacuum cleaner and having an inner abutment wall; a seat body having a bypass entry port; a valve body unit movable within the casing relative to the bypass entry port and including a valve disc to be engaged with and disengaged from the seat body, a plunger body having an externally accessible operated head and an axially extending threaded shank, and an abutment member threadedly engaged with the shank such that rotation of the operated head results in a change of an axial distance between the abutment member and the inner abutment wall; and a biasing member disposed to bias the abutment member and the inner abutment wall such that a biasing force thereof is varied in strength by the change of the axial distance. | 02-10-2011 |
20100307400 | STATIONARY THREAD-CUTTING DEVICE FOR A SEWING MACHINE - A stationary thread-cutting device for a sewing machine includes a guiding member and a cutter. The guiding member is mounted on a needle plate, and has a major wall defining a thread guiding route. The guiding route includes a lead-in area having an entry slot to permit entry of a leading end of a bobbin thread, a turn-around area for guiding the leading end, a corner piece disposed at the turn-around area, and a cutting station disposed adjacent to a lateral edge of the needle plate to define a lead-out path with the corner piece. The cutter is disposed under the major wall and adjacent to the cutting station, and has a cutting blade. After the bobbin thread is advanced beyond the cutting station, the bobbin thread is cut, thereby ensuring that a predetermined length of the bobbin thread is available for initial interlacing with a needle thread in a sewing operation. | 12-09-2010 |
20100175602 | Thread cutting device for a sewing machine - A thread cutting device for a sewing machine with a hook rotatable in a vertical plane includes a drive motor, a fixed knife which has a working-side wall extending towards a thread fetching zone of the sewing machine to terminate at a first cutting edge, and a movable knife which is driven by the drive motor to angularly move between fetching and thread cutting positions in a vertical plane. The movable knife has a lateral edge surface defining a cavity in an intermediate segment thereof to engage lower and upper threads when the movable knife reaches the fetching position. The movable knife has a second cutting edge disposed to press the first cutting edge so as to complete a cutting action. | 07-15-2010 |
20090256898 | Device for printing a picture onto a piece of cloth to be embroidered, and embroidering machine having the same - A printing device includes a cloth-holding frame unit mounted fittingly and detachably in a receiving groove in a base, and having a lock bolt for locking an outer frame on a looped inner frame disposed on and surrounded by the outer frame such that a piece of cloth is held tensionally between the inner and outer frames. A cover is connected pivotally to the base for covering the receiving groove in the base, and is configured with an inner accommodating space in spatial communication with the receiving groove in the base. A coloring unit is mounted on the cover, is disposed movably in the inner accommodating space in the cover and above the piece of cloth, and is operable so as to spray a coloring material onto the piece of cloth, thereby printing a picture onto the piece of cloth with the coloring material sprayed from said coloring unit. | 10-15-2009 |
20090241819 | Device for coloring a thread body, and sewing machine having the same - A device for coloring a thread body includes a thread-feeding unit adapted for feeding the thread body at a predetermined speed such that the thread body is transported along a feeding path. A coloring unit is disposed fixedly adjacent to the feeding path, and is operable so as to spray a coloring material onto the thread body. A control unit is connected electrically to the coloring unit, and is operable so as to control the coloring unit to spray the coloring material, which has a desired one of a plurality of different colors. | 10-01-2009 |
