Abstract

A sewing machine equipped with a needle threading device, includes: a needle bar supporting frame body on which there is mounted a needle bar that is mounted with a needle having a needle hole; a needle threading shaft that is disposed on the needle bar supporting frame body and is supported vertically movably and also turnably in a peripheral direction; a thread pressing part and a thread holding tool that are provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that hold in a tensioned state a thread opposite the needle hole; and a needle threading tool that is provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that has a hook which reciprocates through the needle hole to pass the thread through the needle hole, wherein the thread holding tool comprises a thread holding surface part that guides and holds the thread.

Claims (22)

1. A sewing machine equipped with a needle threading device, comprising:

a needle bar supporting frame body on which there is mounted a needle bar that is mounted with a needle having a needle hole;

a needle threading shaft that is disposed on the needle bar supporting frame body and is supported vertically movably and also turnably in a peripheral direction;

a thread pressing part and a thread holding tool that are provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that hold in a tensioned state a thread opposite the needle hole; and

a needle threading tool that is provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that has a hook which reciprocates through the needle hole to pass the thread through the needle hole, wherein

the thread holding tool comprises a thread holding surface part that guides and holds the thread, a thread pressing member that presses and sandwiches together with the thread holding surface part the thread, and a thread detachment preventing part that is provided to cross the thread which is sandwiched between the thread pressing member and the thread holding surface part, and

when passing the thread through the needle hole, the thread detachment preventing part regulates the thread so that the thread, which is sandwiched between the thread holding surface part and the thread pressing member of the thread holding tool, passes in a predetermined direction without deviating from a thread holding state,

wherein the thread holding tool further comprises: a thread holding plate that is formed on a thread holding base member fixed to the needle threading shaft, and that holds the thread; and a thread pressing member that is mounted on the thread holding plate and that holds the thread by pressing,

the thread holding plate comprises a holding groove part that is equipped with a protrusion part for preventing thread detachment on a thread holding surface part, by using an end surface of a groove, of which one end is opened, as the thread holding surface part,

the thread pressing member comprises a spring plate part that sandwiches together with the thread holding surface part the thread by pressing, and

the protrusion part is provided on the thread holding surface part so as to cross the thread which is pressed and held by the spring plate part and the thread holding surface part of the thread holding plate.

2. A sewing machine equipped with a needle threading device, comprising,

a needle bar supporting frame body on which there is mounted a needle bar that is mounted with a needle having a needle hole;

a needle threading shaft that is disposed on the needle bar supporting frame body and is supported vertically movably and also turnably in a peripheral direction;

a thread pressing part and a thread holding tool that are provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that hold in a tensioned state a thread opposite the needle hole; and

a needle threading tool that is provided at a lower end of the needle threading shaft and that has a hook which reciprocates through the needle hole to pass the thread through the needle hole, wherein

the thread holding tool comprises a thread holding surface part that guides and holds the thread, a thread pressing member that presses and sandwiches together with the thread holding surface part the thread, and a thread detachment preventing part that is provided to cross the thread which is sandwiched between the thread pressing member and the thread holding surface part, and

when passing the thread through the needle hole, the thread detachment preventing part regulates the thread so that the thread, which is sandwiched between the thread holding surface part and the thread pressing member of the thread holding tool, passes in a predetermined direction without deviating from a thread holding state,

wherein the thread holding tool further comprises: a thread holding base member equipped with a thread holding plate that holds a thread which is fixed to the needle threading shaft; and a thread pressing member that is mounted on the thread holding plate of the thread holding base member and that holds the thread by pressing,

the thread holding plate comprises a holding groove part that is equipped with a notched part for preventing thread detachment on a thread holding surface part, by using an end surface of a groove, of which one end is opened, as the thread holding surface part,

the thread pressing member comprises a spring plate part that sandwiches together with the thread holding surface part the thread by pressing, and

the notched part of the thread holding surface part is provided to cross the thread that is held by pressing by the spring plate part and the thread holding surface part of the thread holding plate.
