Patent number: 10273614Abstract: A sewing machine having a device for manually changing a feed dog (10), including the feed dog (10) and a feed-dog holder (30). The feed-dog holder (30) is disposed in an arm bed (103) that is associated with the sewing machine, and the feed dog (10) is receivable in a clearance (31, 81) of the feed-dog holder (30). The feed dog (10) that is located in the clearance (31, 81) has a support face (15) which may be disposed parallel with the surface of a sewn-product support which may contain a needle-hole plate (113) or be configured as a needle-hole plate (113), the sewn-product support and/or the needle-hole plate (113) may at least partially be formed by the surface of the arm bed (103), and the support face (15) may be received in an opening (140) of the needle-hole plate (113).Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: BERNINA International AGInventors: Alain Capt, Severin Brunner, Gunnar Schlaich, Patric Konner, Andre Stucki, Ioannis Imionidis, Marco Bernegger, Christoph Frei

Patent number: 10066328Abstract: A long arm quilt and lockstitch machine assembly (1) having a framework having two rail tracks, disposed orthogonally on top of one another, wherein the sewing machine (19) is disposed so as to be displaceable on the rail track lying above. The connections between the drive belt (33, 43) to which the rail track (9) lying below and the sewing machine (19) are connected by way of an electronic control system via drive motors, include overload couplings which in the case of overloading by body parts or items of clothing that are caught between the movable elements separate the movable elements from the drive belts. Advantageously, the overload coupling is simultaneously a connection element and in the case of overloading separates the connection between the elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: BERNINA INTERNATIONAL AGInventors: Jan Janouschek, Patric Konner

Publication number: 20180066387Abstract: A method for controlling and/or regulating a sewing machine, in particular an overlock sewing machine, for a sewing operation for mechanically producing a seam (1) within a base material (2), the method including the following steps: identifying a sewing operation or an upcoming sewing operation of the sewing machine (100); setting an upper sewing speed limit (vmax) of the sewing machine (100); setting a lower sewing speed limit (vmax) of the sewing machine (100); and carrying out the sewing operation at a sewing speed between the lower sewing speed limit (vmin) and the upper sewing speed limit (vmax). A device (10) for carrying out the method is provided, and for a sewing machine (100) having the device (10), and to a computer software product (70) for use in the device (10) or in the sewing machine (100), respectively, the computer software product (70) being configured for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Applicant: BERNINA International AGInventors: Boris Zickenberg, Michael Mosimann, Patric Konner
