Abstract

Provided is a horizontal rotary hook for a sewing machine including: an inner rotary hook including an attracted member made of metal in an outer lower surface portion; a permanent magnet that attracts the inner rotary hook; a magnet plate that accommodates the permanent magnet and is provided with a shaft hole for mounting at a center of a diameter thereof; a non-metallic outer rotary hook that accommodates the magnet plate and has a shaft hole at a center of a diameter of an inner bottom portion thereof; and a hook supporting shaft that is inserted through the shaft hole of the magnet plate and the shaft hole of the outer rotary hook, and that includes, at an upper end thereof, a flange for rotatably supporting the outer rotary hook and the magnet plate. A rotation stopper for the magnet plate is disposed to be positioned more inward than an outer circumference edge of the permanent magnet placed in the magnet plate.

Claims (13)

1. A horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine, comprising:

an inner rotary hook including an attracted member made of metal in an outer lower surface portion;

a permanent magnet that attracts the inner rotary hook;

a magnet plate that accommodates the permanent magnet and is provided with a shaft hole for mounting at a center of a diameter thereof;

a non-metallic outer rotary hook that accommodates the magnet plate and has a shaft hole at a center of a diameter of an inner bottom portion thereof; and

a hook supporting shaft that is inserted through the shaft hole of the magnet plate and the shaft hole of the outer rotary hook, and that includes, at an upper end thereof, a flange for rotatably supporting the outer rotary hook and the magnet plate, wherein

a rotation stopper for the magnet plate is disposed to be positioned more inward than an outer circumference edge of the permanent magnet placed in the magnet plate.

2. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopper for the magnet plate includes a rotation stopping portion formed at a part of the magnet plate more inward than an outer circumference edge of the permanent magnet placed in the magnet plate, and an engaging portion formed in a position that is in the inner bottom portion of the outer rotary hook, opposes the rotation stopping portion, and is more inward than the outer circumference edge of the permanent magnet.

3. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopping portion of the magnet plate is obtained by forming a part of an outer circumference edge of the magnet plate into a linear notch portion.

4. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopping portion of the magnet plate is obtained by forming a part of an outer circumference edge of the magnet plate into a curved notch portion.

5. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopping portion of the magnet is formed by bending a part of an outer circumference edge of the magnet plate.

6. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopping portion is provided at at least one portion.

7. The horizontal rotary hook of a sewing machine according to claim 2 , wherein the rotation stopping portion is provided at at least one portion.
