Abstract
Abstract A sewing machine controller in which initially a rotation transfer ratio is calculated from the number of rotations of a motor and the detected number of rotations of the sewing machine shaft. Thereafter, the number of motor rotations is calculated as the product of the rotation transfer ratio and the desired number of rotations of the sewing machine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A sewing machine control device for controlling a number of rotations of a sewing machine shaft driven by a motor having a motor shaft through rotation transfer means and in accordance with a received instruction, comprising: means for supplying said instruction indicative of said number of rotations; first detecting means for detecting a number of rotations of said motor shaft; second detecting means for detecting a number of rotations of said sewing machine shaft; arithmetic means for determining a ratio between said number of rotations of said rotor and said number of rotations of said sewing machine shaft during a start-up period of said motor; and control means for controlling a number of rotations of said motor shaft in accordance with said ratio.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A sewing machine control device for controlling a number of rotations of a sewing machine shaft driven by a motor having a motor shaft through rotation transfer means and in accordance with a received instruction, comprising: means for supplying said instruction indicative of said number of rotations; first detecting means for detecting a number of rotations of said motor shaft; second detecting means for detecting a number of rotations of said sewing machine shaft; arithmetic means for determining a ratio between said number of rotations of said rotor and said number of rotations of said sewing machine shaft during a start-up period of said motor; and control means for controlling a number of rotations of said motor shaft in accordance with said ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
The sewing machine control device of claim 1, wherein said control means comprises: switching means having a first stationary terminal to which is applied said instruction from said instruction supplying means, and a secondary stationary terminal receiving a second instruction signal indicative of a constant rotational speed of said motor shaft, and a movable terminal set to said second stationary terminal during said start-up period of said motor and at other times to said first stationary terminal.
