Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1882767A1] The device for monitoring breakage of the needle thread (9) on automatic threading devices of a sewing machine, comprises a thread regulator with a regulator spring (25), a cam switch (39), which is effectively connected to the regulator spring and is inserted between a thread lever and a thread tension device, and a sensor (45) for monitoring presence or absence of the cam switch at the sensor. The cam switch comprises two detection zones (41) and the sensor has two independent switched detection areas. The cam switch is pivotal on a shaft stump and comprises an arc-segment shaped body. The device for monitoring breakage of the needle thread (9) on automatic threading devices of a sewing machine, comprises a thread regulator with a regulator spring (25), a cam switch (39), which is effectively connected to the regulator spring and is inserted between a thread lever and a thread tension device, and a sensor (45) for monitoring presence or absence of the cam switch at the sensor. The cam switch comprises two detection zones (41) and the sensor has two independent switched detection areas. The cam switch is pivotal on a shaft stump and comprises an arc-segment shaped body, with which a peripheral area of the detection zones is provided. The detection zones are light/dark areas, recesses or protrusions. The sensor comprises two parallel located light bars or proximity switches as detection means, which are arranged in a parallel or serial manner.
