Publication number: 20070144420Abstract: A hook (15) of a sewing machine (1) is pivotably mounted on a hook carrier (25). The hook (15) is moved from a working position (X) into a bobbin case withdrawal position by a pivoting movement of the hook carrier (25). The pivoting movement displaces the hook (15) and the bobbin case (17) towards or above the opening which is opened by the flap (13) in the lower arm (13). In this way, the withdrawal of the bobbin case (17) or the bobbin is significantly simplified.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2004Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: Fritz Gegaufaktiengesellschaft Bernina-Nahmaschinen FabrikInventors: Hans Fluckiger, Heinz Janouschek

Patent number: 7080603Abstract: The hook (15) of a sewing machine (1) is mounted so that it can move on a hook carrier. Through a sliding movement of the hook carrier, the hook (15) is brought from its operating position into a bobbin case removal position. Through the sliding movement, the hook (15) with the bobbin case (17) is placed at or above the opening, which is created by the flap (13) in the lower arm (5). In this way, the removal of the bobbin case (17) or the bobbin is made considerably easier.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2004Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Fritz Gegauf Aktiengesellschaft BERNINA-NahmaschinenfabrikInventors: Christian Ulmer, André Stucki, Heinz Janouschek

Patent number: 6055919Abstract: A spool capsule for a sewing machine for receiving a lower thread spool, having a concentrically disposed bore for mounting the spool capsule on a spool carrier pin, with a spring, serving as a locking device for axially retaining the spool capsule on the spool carrier pin, being inserted into a spool receiving space of the spool capsule. A section of the spring is constructed so that it is elastically displaceable radially, relative to the concentrically disposed bore, penetrating the bore in a manner analogous to a tendon. The locking device includes only a single movable element, which serves for both arresting the spool capsule on the pin of the spool and as an actuating device. This single element includes a spring, which is retained in a centrally-extending groove in a deepening of the spool capsule, and projects outwardly, at one point, through an opening in the surface of the spool capsule.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1999Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Fritz Gegauf AG Bernina-NahmaschinenfabrikInventor: Heinz Janouschek

Patent number: 5515797Abstract: A presser foot for a sewing machine includes a presser foot with a shank. The end of the presser-foot shank is articulated with a presser-foot sole having a stitching opening for a needle, which is attached to a needle bar. The presser-foot sole is capable of being swung relative to an upper-part of a housing therefor about the axis of the needle. In a preferred embodiment, the presser foot of the invention, which is connected to the sewing machine in a manner so that it is capable of being swung at least 180.degree., makes it possible for the operator of the sewing machine to adjust the presser foot and/or the presser-foot sole so as to make it essentially parallel to the sewing direction and, in this fashion, to allow the sewing-over of thickenings, hemmed borders and the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1994Date of Patent: May 14, 1996Assignee: Fritz Gegauf AktiengesellschaftInventors: Heinz Janouschek, Lorenz Reber

Patent number: 5491878Abstract: An eyeglass holder having a cross-shaped clip (305) on which two shaped parts (341) are fastened for holding the eyeglasses fast and clamping the eyeglass holder (301) firmly on the breast pocket of an article of clothing (317). The shaped parts (341) can be pushed over the ends (312) of the beam (309) and adapted to the size of the eyeglasses to be held. On the vertical beam (307) there is fastened a holding part (308) by which the eyeglass holder (301) can be fastened to the breast pocket or another part of an article of clothing.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1994Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Inventor: Heinz Janouschek

Patent number: 4694764Abstract: The presser-foot of the fabric presser device in a sewing machine is pivotable about an axis of a presser-bar in order to provide space in the stitching region of a needle in order to allow manipulations to be made to the needle. The fabric presser device is constructed such that the presser-foot can be pivoted or swung away from the region of the needle only when the needle and the presser-bar are in a raised or elevated position.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1986Date of Patent: September 22, 1987Assignee: F. Gegauf AG Bernina NahmaschinenfabrikInventor: Heinz Janouschek

Patent number: 4308813Abstract: A hem forming means comprising a guide shoe suspended with limited movability on a spring clip directly in front of the needle hole of the machine. The spring clip, which is arranged at right angles to the conveying direction of the sewing material is attached to a ruler forming an edge abutment surface for the sewing material. In the zone of the edge abutment surface, the guide shoe is provided with a turndown nose which has, on the side facing away from the ruler, a lateral surface extending with broadening of the turndown nose at an acute angle with respect to the needle hole. This lateral surface extends at a spacing parallel to a beveled surface of the base plate, said beveled surface extending toward the needle center. The beveled surface constitutes one limitation of a wedge-shaped edge cutout of the base plate, into which the turndown nose of the guide shoe disposed thereabove can enter under spring pressure.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1979Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Assignee: Fritz Gegauf Aktiengesellschaft Bernina-NahmaschinenfabrikInventor: Heinz Janouschek
