摘要:
When a cassette is attached to or detached from a memory sewing machine, a switch provided on the sewing machine is actuated in association with the attaching or detaching so as to stop the operation of the circuit of the computer. During the actuation of said switch, an opening or closing is made between the connecting pin of the memory cassette and the circuit of the computer, and in the position where the attaching or detaching of the cassette is completed, the switch is returned to its initial position so as to position the circuit of the computer at the initial resetting condition so that a new stitching control is started.

A method and apparatus for stitching a workpiece, such as a quilt, is disclosed. The method comprises displaying a predetermined pattern on a display and manipulating the predetermined pattern on the display. The display includes an indicator corresponding to a position of a sewing head relative to the workpiece. The method further includes moving a control handle operably connected to the sewing head to move the indicator relative to the pattern on the display and move the sewing head relative to the workpiece. Devices to practice the method include sewing machines having a sewing head moveable relative to a workpiece and a control handle operably connected to the sewing head to move the sewing head relative to the workpiece, wherein the display showing a pattern to be sewn is mounted relative to the control handle for movement with the control handle.

A sewing machine includes a coordinate indicator, a processor, and a memory. The coordinate indicator includes a cylindrical housing, a rod-shaped indicating member, a switch, a single transmitter, a receiver, and a flat surface. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the sewing machine to perform processes that include computing a plurality of sets of first coordinates based on a plurality of times at which the receiver receives a ultrasonic wave, computing a movement direction based on at least some of the computed plurality of sets of the first coordinates, computing a movement distance based on at least some of the computed plurality of sets of the first coordinates, and computing second coordinates based on at least some of the plurality of sets of the first coordinates, the movement direction, and the movement distance.
摘要:
A sewing pattern display device including a display for displaying a plurality of options relating to sewing; a transparent touch panel disposed adjacent to the display and capable of detecting a position where the touch panel is pressed; and a control device for determining, based on detection by the touch panel, a position of the display corresponding to a pressed position of the touch panel and, when the touch panel is pressed to simultaneously indicate more than one of the options, processing an option different from the indicated options.
摘要:
A program-controlled sewing or embroidery machine comprising a stitch-forming device (2), an integrated microcomputer (4), at least one memory (16, 17) and at least one data interface (5), as well as a keyboard (12) and a display (11) for entering and monitoring or checking values for program control. To retrieve sewing or embroidery pattern data from a remote computer (mailbox) in a simple manner, the data interface (5) of the sewing or embroidery machine (1) is able to be connected directly to the mailbox (10) of a central computer (9) via a data transmission connection (7) via a corresponding modem (6), and the structural units which are necessary for communication with the mailbox (10), such as display (11), keyboard (12) and memory (16, 17) are disposed in the sewing or embroidery machine (1) itself, with the functional processes necessary for communication with the mailbox (10) being able to be controlled and monitored by the microcomputer (4) necessary for controlling the program of the sewing or embroidery machine. The invention further relates to a method of operating program-controlled sewing or embroidery machines.
摘要:
An improved cartridge and receptacle therefor for use with an electronically controlled appliance includes within the receptacle a vertically movable platform having a pivoting door. A printed circuit board extends upwardly within the appliance housing and acts as a terminal member connected to electronic circuitry within the appliance. The cartridge includes a pair of outwardly extending prongs which fit into openings in the top of the platform to release spring biased latches which otherwise maintain the platform in its upper position. A camming surface on the platform door cooperates with the circuit board to pivot the door away from an elongated opening in the platform when the platform is lowered and the printed circuit board extends through that elongated opening into an elongated opening within the cartridge, where it causes a spring biased door to be pivoted inwardly. The printed circuit board enters a connector within the cartridge which is coupled to circuitry mounted within the cartridge. Removal of the cartridge releases the printed circuit board from the connector and raises the platform. As the printed circuit board leaves the cartridge, the spring biased door pivots to close the opening of the cartridge. As the platform is raised, a camming surface within the receptacle pivots the platform door to its closed position. Removal of the cartridge from the platform allows the latches to spring outwardly so that they rest on shoulders provided therefor, thereby preventing the platform from being lowered into the receptacle without the insertion of a cartridge.

A sewing machine has an electronic control system for providing selected fancy patterns, the system including a replaceable memory store unit which plugs into a recess formed in the outer front surface of the machine.
摘要:
A sewing machine acquires a selected pattern that is selected from among a plurality of embroidery patterns. The sewing machine displays a pattern image representing the selected pattern. The sewing machine identifies a specified position indicated by the instruction. The sewing machine determines, when the selected pattern is acquired a plurality of times, whether one of a plurality of the pattern images is displayed at the identified specified position. When it is determined that the pattern image is displayed at the identified specified position, the sewing machine identifies the selected pattern for which the pattern image is displayed at the specified position as the editing target. When it is not determined that the pattern image is displayed at the identified specified position, the sewing machine identifies the selected pattern for which a mask region encompassing the selected pattern is set at the specified position as the editing target.
