Appl. No.:

6/562317

Inventors:

Walter H. W. Marsh - Scotch Plains NJ
Kenneth D. Adams - Madison NJ

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Stamford CT

International Classification:

D05B 6500

US Classification:

112292

Abstract:

A manual thread cutter for a sewing machine is disclosed in which a cutting blade is supported on a canted surface merging toward the corner of the hollow interior of a face plate covering the head end of the sewing machine. A slot extends continuously through adjacent walls of the face plate approximately medially of the canted surface so that sewing thread may be drawn through the slot to the cutting edge of the cutting blade. A platform extends from one of the adjacent walls coextensive with the bottom surface of the slot so that thread may be pivoted about the platform and drawn into the slot to impinge upon the cutting edge of the cutting blade.

International Classification:

H02K 3318

US Classification:

310 13

Abstract:

A linear motor for use, for example, in sewing machines for controlling needle vibration as to amplitude and/or fabric feed both in magnitude and direction, said motor comprising a frame having an internal central pole piece spaced intermediate two permanent magnets of the high energy product type which are attached to the frame, the central pole piece providing supporting means for movable coil member integrally formed with connecting arms pivotally fastened to an actuator arm carried on a pivoted potentiometer shaft. The permanent magnets are secured through their own magnetism to the frame and are each locked in proper orientation by a non-metallic retainer which is locked to the magnet and additionally formed with a closure panel, said closure panels cooperating with the motor frame completely to enclose a compartment for the movable coil member effecting both a minimum external leakage field and a dust proof unit.

Abstract:

An endoscopic deployment device includes a body mountable on an endoscopic device, a communication interface, and a motor. The body has a movable carrier couplable to an elongated end effector device. The effector device has an end effector shaft covered by an outer sheath and an end effector extending from a distal end of the shaft. The sheath is sized and shaped for insertion through a working channel of an endoscopic shaft of the endoscopic device. The body has a carrier channel sized for the carrier to slide therein. The end effecter is actuatable between open and closed positions by sliding the carrier in the carrier channel which in turn slides the sheath over the end effector shaft to uncover/cover the end effector. Rotation of a drive shaft of the motor is sliding the carrier in the carrier channel and actuating the end effector in response to a signal.
