Appl. No.:

6/281002

Assignee:

Universal Sewing Supply Inc. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

D05B 5506

US Classification:

112227

Abstract:

A needle guide for a buttonhole sewing machine provided with a pair of reciprocating loopers that in cooperation with a vertically reciprocating needle produce chain stitches for forming a buttonhole on a fabric. The needle guide include a pair of inner and outer surfaces defining a U-shaped member which is carried below the path of the reciprocating needle. A downwardly depending guide surface extends into the U-shaped member between the inner and outer surfaces. The outer surface is positioned on one side of the needle and the depending guide surface is positioned on the opposite side of the needle for restricting deflection of the needle from its desired path. The U-shaped member is positioned between the pair of loopers for permitting the loopers to reciprocate in and out of the U-shaped member from opposed sides during the buttonhole stitch forming operation.

Abstract:

An automatic feeder apparatus is disclosed for feeding collar stays and the like to an associated machine including a first fluid cylinder having a reciprocating piston rod and a second fluid cylinder carried by the piston rod of the first fluid cylinder. The second fluid cylinder includes a reciprocating piston rod on which a suction device is carried which includes a pair of suction tubes having a suction end and a discharge end with air being introduced intermediate the ends to create the suction at the suction ends. A master solenoid valve controls delivery of a pressurized fluid to the fluid cylinders and cooperates with a systematic arrangement of in-line valves which are actuated by the movement of the suction device to provide an automatic sequence for pick-up and delivery of a collar stay.

Abstract:

A fishing jig is disclosed comprising a first upstanding fishhook (10) carried generally in a first vertical plane; and a second upstanding fishhook (12) carried generally in a second vertical plane generally parallel to the first vertical plane. A first shank (20) is connected to fishhook (10); and a second shank (26) is connected to second fishhook (12). Yoke (32, 34) connects the shanks (20, 26) which are disposed in a first horizontal plane. A raised eyelet (36) for attachment to a fishing line is connected to the yoke disposed in a second horizontal plane spaced from the first horizontal plane in a manner that said first and second fishhooks are turned upwards regardless of the angle at which said fishing jig enters the water and remain turned upwards while the fishing jig is pulled through the water to prevent snagging.
