  • Patent number: 10710839
    Abstract: A high efficiency bobbin winding device with adjustability has a housing that encloses at least one motor and associated circuitry and mechanism that allows a user to selectively wind a bobbin with a selected amount of thread. The motor is mounted on a hinged support that rotates to move the motor which has a shaft that spins the bobbin. An adjustment knob is rotated to selectively move the motor support. A sensor detects the amount of thread wound on the bobbin and stops further winding when the proper amount of thread is wound on the bobbin. The housing also has indicator lights to indicate power and other settings. A spool is placed on a rod and is thread through a guide and a tension adjustment and then on the bobbin where it is wound to a selected level.

  • Publication number: 20150217966
    Abstract: A bobbin winding system embodying an apparatus and method for simultaneously winding two separate bobbins independent of a sewing machine is provided. The apparatus may include a bobbin winder having a thread tree and two independent bobbin sets. Each bobbin set may provide a spindle, a spindle disc, a tension guide and a bobbin bumper. For each bobbin set, a user may removably secure a spool of strand on the spindle, wherein the strand is threaded to a bobbin removably secure to the bobbin bumper. Whereby each strand may be received by at least one guide loop of the thread tree, then received by the tension guide and then secured by the bobbin of the bobbin set. The user may adjust the height of each spool by adapting the relevant spindle disc. The bobbin winder may then separately rotate each bobbin bumper so as to pull strand from at least a portion of each spool to wind around the bobbins.
