Looper and Spreader Mechanism of Flatlock Machine

This document describes the looper and spreader mechanisms of a flatlock sewing machine. It contains the abstract, theory, conclusion, and reference sections. The theory section explains that the looper has parts like the looper holder, looper shaft, and looper shaft guide that are connected to drive the looper. It also describes the components of the spreader assembly including rotating gears, shafts, and bars that work together to move the spreader in the sewing cycle. The conclusion states that understanding these parts and their arrangement is important for machine maintenance and production efficiency.

Abstract:
It is essential to know the looper mechanism to stitch accurate stitches on the fabric. In

this experiment, we have seen the looper drive mechanism and spreader mechanism.

Theory:

Looper:
Looper for sewing machines provided with a mounting shank having a positioning flat

adapted to be coupled to a coacting flat formed on a positioner member, which

positioner member can be angularly fastened on a looper support so that the coupling

between the looper and the positioner takes place in a predetermined angular position

in one and the same hole of the looper support.

Looper parts and its drive:


Looper has;

Looper holder,looper shaft, looper shaft guide.

Looper is attached to the main shaft with the help of lever. Lever is attached with the

looper shaft guid which is an assembly comprises washers and bushings. Looper shaft

is attached with looper shaft guide at one end and on the other hand it is connected

with looper holder. Looper is attached with looper holder.

Spreader:

A sewing machine having a spreader assembly, comprising:

 a rotatable shaft having an axially-aligned first gear thereon;

 a second gear transverse to said first gear and meshing therewith, said second

gear having a central shaft extending therefrom, said central shaft having a

center axis, said central shaft having a bore therein, said bore being parallel to

3
said center axis, said bore being a preselected bore distance from said center

axis;

 a pivot pin and a generally upright bar having a top and a bottom, said bar

having a spreader attached at said top, said bar being pivotally connected to the

pivot pin toward said bottom, said spreader being a first preselected distance

from said pivot pin, said bar having a connection point, said connection point

being a second preselected distance from said pivot pin, said first preselected

distance divided by said second preselected distance defining a ratio;

 a generally horizontal bar assembly having a shaft end and a spreader end, said

shaft end and said second gear central shaft bore having a connection

therebetween, said spreader end and said generally upright bar connection

point having a connection therebetween;

 whereby, in a sewing cycle, said generally horizontal bar assembly moves a first

horizontal distance, said first horizontal distance being equal twice said

preselected bore distance; and, said spreader moves a second horizontal

distance, said second horizontal distance being equal twice said preselected

bore distance multiplied by said ratio.

Conclusion:
These parts and there arrangement must be known for machine maintainance and for

improvement of production efficiency.
