Abstract

Abstract A motor driven sewing machine comprises pulse generator means for generating a first pulse associated with the first predetermined angular position and a second pulse associated with the second predetermined angular position of the main-shaft of the machine, and state-alternating means for alternatively changing its states between first and second states in response to the first and second pulses. The needle position and cloth feed are controlled in accordance with the states of the state-alternating means.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 113 words
A motor driven sewing machine comprising: means for alternately generating a first pulse associated with a predetermined first angular position of the main-shaft of said sewing machine and a second pulse associated with a second predetermined angular position of said main-shaft of said sewing machine; means for alternately changing states between a first and second state in response to said first and second pulses and separately producing a first signal representing said first state and a second signal representing said second state; a first control means for controlling the needle position in accordance with said first signal; and a second control means for controlling the cloth feed in accordance with said second signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 113 words
A motor driven sewing machine comprising: means for alternately generating a first pulse associated with a predetermined first angular position of the main-shaft of said sewing machine and a second pulse associated with a second predetermined angular position of said main-shaft of said sewing machine; means for alternately changing states between a first and second state in response to said first and second pulses and separately producing a first signal representing said first state and a second signal representing said second state; a first control means for controlling the needle position in accordance with said first signal; and a second control means for controlling the cloth feed in accordance with said second signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A motor driven sewing machine according to claim 1, in which said state-alternating means includes a JK flip-flop for alternating its state between said first and second states in response to said first and second pulses.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 78 words
A motor driven sewing machine according to claim 2, in which said state-alternating means further includes a delay circuit, said JK flip-flop including a J input, a K input and a CP input, one of said J and K inputs being connected to a DC power supply, the other of said J and K inputs being connected via said delay circuit to said DC power supply, and said CP input being impressed with said first and second pulses.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 97 words
A motor driven sewing machine according to claim 3, in which said pulse generator means includes a first piece of permanent magnet mounted at a first position associated with said first angular position on the circumferential surface of said main-shaft, a second piece of permanent magnet mounted at a second position associated with said second angular position on said circumferential surface of said main-shaft, and angular position detector means for detecting the closest approach of said first and second pieces of permanent magnet thereto and generating said first and second pulses respectively in response to the detections.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
A motor driven sewing machine according to claim 4, in which said angular position detector means is a Hall effect element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 69 words
A motor driven sewing machine according to claim 5, in which said angular position detector means includes a reed switch adapted to close upon detection of the closest approach of each of said first and second pieces of permanent magnet thereto, and a switching element with a controlled electrode connected to said reed switch, said switching element producing said pulses in response to the closure of said reed switch.
