Mechanical
Setup
From the foregoing description of the sewing action of a bortocker it is evident
that this machine must incorporate the following essential mechanisms, in
addition
to the shuttle
and
needle
bar
drive mechanisms found in
any
ordinary
sewing machine:
(1)
a special feed

(2)
an automatic stop control which stops the machine as soon as the predeter

and
the take-up lever has
almost reached the highest point of its stroke, and
(3)
a trimming mechanism whichsevers the needle and bobbin threads.

Shuttle
and
Needle
Bar
Drive
The shuttle driving motion is derived from the cranked arm shaft and trans
mitted to the shuttle via a connecting rod, an oscillating rock shaft, a crank
with slide block, end the shuttle driver shaft. This mechanical setup produces
the oscillating motion required for this type of shuttle.

The feed motion lengthwise and across the machine bed is controlled by
two pattern-forming grooves, one on either face of the feed cam.
Whenever the material is to be moved in a stroight line lengthwise or across
the machine bed, this motion is controlled by only one of these grooves.
The feed motions emanating from both grooves
are
combined to produce
circular, triangular or other tacks whose sides extend at on angle to the true
lengthwise or crosswise direction of feed.
The groove on the outside face of the feed cam controls the feed motion

Motion
The machine is stopped automatically in order to ensure that all tacks will

The

of the pattern-forming groove and the gear ratio of the worm gear ossem-

The automatic stop

(Fig.
is operated by the stop tripping segment on the
10).
When this tripping segment depresses the trip
ping lever, the latch at the lower end of the stop motion lever slips out of the
catch on the tripping lever so that the stop

lever can be pulled against
the stop com by a tension spring. Shortly before the stop com has completed
its last revolution, the stop link hits its surface and snaps into its groove, there

and
Oiling
Careful cleaning and regular oiling increase the service life of the machine
and
ensure smooth running.
When
the machine is delivered to the customer, all polished
parts
are
covered
with a rust-preventative grease. Remove this grease, together with the dust
which has
accumulated
in transit,
before
you put the machine in
operation.'
Also, squirt an ample amount of oil into all marked oiling points, unthread
the needle,
into all the bearings. All important oiling points

When the machine is in operation continuously, form the habit of removing
