In an electric motor regulating and control drive, especially for industrial sewing machines, a clutch-brake disk is mounted for co-rotation on an output shaft and has a clutch facing which can be brought into engagement with a clutch surface of a flywheel of the corresponding motor, and has a brake facing which can be brought into engagement with a brake surface of a brake-bearing plate. In order to achieve by simple means an effective suppression of impact noises when a braking action is initiated, at least the brake facing is mounted with damping with respect to the armature ring of the clutch-brake disk. It is preferably thrust against the armature ring by means of at least one annular spring.

Electric motor regulating and control drive having a clutch-brake unit

An electromotive variable-speed and control drive particularly for use in industrial sewing machines comprising a motor capable of continuous drive with a disk flywheel and a brake-coupling unit connected to this motor. Cooling ribs confining cooling channels are disposed at the stator frame to achieve efficient cooling. A disk flywheel in the form of a fan is in the form of an axial-radial blower the suction area of which extends to the coupling surface of the disk flywheel. Furthermore, particularly intensive cooling of the brake end shield is possible.

Electromotive variable-speed and control drive particularly for use in

An electromotive variable-speed and control drive particularly for use in industrial sewing machines and comprising a coupling coil casing radially surrounding a coupling-brake disk and a brake coil casing radially relocated towards the center. Both are positioned in the brake end shield. In order to avoid a sticking of the coupling-brake disk with high alternations and a delay of the break-down and build-up of the magnetic fields, a brake coil casing has been relocated radially so near to the center that it is situated within the brake pad in front of the armature ring. On the other hand, there is an undercut and a recess at the coupling coil casing and a recess at the disk flywheel which assures that no axial forces can occur at the radial gaps.

Portable sewing machine

A convertible sewing machine bed which includes a base having a longitudinally extending cylinder bed and a spring biased work supporting panel that is movable in one direction with respect to the arm and simultaneously shiftable in another direction with respect to the cylinder bed. The shifting movement is effected by the camming action of a single latch detent being moved into and out of a latch seat. The single latch detent and the latch seat, when in engaging relation, also serve to hold the support member in a work supporting position contiguous to the cylinder bed.
