I was cleaning the dust out of the feed dog area and somehow disconnected the feed dog from the lever in the back that raises it and lowers it. How can I reattache them?
Hello,
A feed system for a sewing machine having a frame, a horizontal arm
shaft journalled in said frame, a vertical arm shaft extending
downwardly from adjacent said horizontal arm shaft, means rotatably
connecting said horizontal arm shaft to said vertical arm shaft, said
feed system comprising a cam fixed to said horizontal arm shaft, a sheet
metal feed fork having parallel bent over portions at one end thereof
embracing said cam and in driving engagement therewith, a feed rock
shaft supported in said frame and having an arm connected to the other
end of said feed fork, feed regulating means carried by said frame and
connected to said feed fork for converting motion induced by said feed
cam to oscillations of said rock shaft, said rock shaft being formed
with a pair of upright rock arms on the other end thereof, a
horizontally disposed U-shaped sheet metal feed dog carrier having each
end thereof connected to one of said upright rock arms, said feed dog
carrier having a horizontal shelf extending from the base of the U
between the ends thereof, said shelf supporting thereon a feed dog,
means for attaching said feed dog to said shelf, a stud affixed to said
base of said feed dog carrier beneath said shelf, a sheet metal lift
lever pivotally supported on a horizontal axis in said frame
substantially parallel to said rock shaft, said lift lever having a
slotted end for engagement with said stud extending from said feed dog
carrier, said lift lever having the other end thereof supporting a cam
follower adjacent said vertical cam shaft, and a lift cam removably
affixed to said vertical cam shaft and in engagement with said cam
follower on said lift lever.
Take care.
