3.6 Feeding mechanism of the lower feed wheel
3.6.1 Description
The feeding mechanism is formed by the leverage (1) which
is driven from the main shaft through the eccentric with connection
rod (2). The feeding movement is transmitted by the shaft (3)
by means of the draw bar (5) onto the clutch of the bottom
wheel feed (7).
The engaging and the disengaging function of the clutch (7)
is controlled from the lower shaft (8) through the eccentric with
the connecting rod (9) and through the wedge coupling (10).
The feeding movement is transmitted by the shaft (11) through
the chain transmission (12) onto the wheel feeder (13).
The stitch length is set by the knob (14) through the leverage (15)
to the feeding mechanism (1).
3.6.2 Stitch length mechanism
3.6.2.1 Setting the upper eccentric
The eccentric (1) is to be set at the respective angle in such a
way, so that the movement of the needle bar and the feeding
by the wheel feeder are correctly phase shifted one against
the other. This refers to the angle of 90
°
on the handwheel (2),
when the setting stick (3) is engaged into the eccentric (1)
and leans from above against the feeding shaft (4).
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting
operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Set the angle 90
°
on the handwheel (2) and lock it with the
screw (5) which is included in the accessory of the machine
(tighten it carefully).
- Insert the setting stick (3) into the hole in the eccentric (1)
and prop it against the feeding shaft (4).
- Shift axially the eccentric on the shaft up to its extreme
position to the right or to the left and place it in the medium
position.
- Tighten the screws of the eccentric (6) to the utmost (one
screw first and, in turning a bit the handwheel, another screw
too).
3.6.2.2 Setting the prop
In this machine with a wheel feed, the prop (1) is mounted in the
pits (A and C) as per the drawing.
3.6.2.3a
Forward and rearward stitch length
distribution (rough)
The cam (1) is to be set at the respective angle in such a way that
the stirrup (6) is oriented in such a position, so that the connecting
rods (7 and 8) are in a line with a thoroughly screwed in knob (9)
and with turning the handwheel at 0
°
. This setting can be done
only after having set the top eccentric according to the pa-
ragraph 3.6.2.1.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting
operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Set the zero stitch /screw in the knob (9) to the bottom of
the cam (1)/.
- Set the angle 0
°
on the handwheel and lock it with the screw
(4).
- Turn the screw (3) in the respective sense in such a way that
the connecting rods (7 and 8) are in a line and tighten the
screw (2).
