Assistance w/ Patent Elastic-type machine (Claes or Kochs Adler 'Universal Elastic'?): Bobbins, threading etc.

Here's some manuals & saved information that I was able to find, I'll try to upload any others I might have saved.

The other file has some assorted photos, including some measurements of the bobbin/shuttle hook, a comparison between the one for my machine and the Singer 29k, as well as images of my modified 29k shuttle alongside the original one.

There's also a few photos of the other shuttles that I received with the machine (they did not fit properly) and some measurements taken by the previous owner whom I suspect was trying to find a replacement. I cannot speak for how accurate they are, but I know how difficult this sort of information is to find.

Thanks very much for the manual and the bobbin photos. They will be helpful. 

I don't think there are very many of these machines in New Zealand.

Hi Constabulary

I dont have very good pictures and the machine is not handy at present. Not sure if these pictures are any use or not. 

Thanks

Hard to tell what shuttle / hook size you need.

Can you get us some measures?

What is the height of this "fence" and that is the diameter of the bottom of the shuttle carrier?

 

[Smileyfaces]

I will measure these, it will be a couple of weeks before I can organize this.

Thanks

Hello Constabulary

I have finally managed to get the measurements you asked for.

Fence is 7 mm high and the diameter of the shuttle driver is 18.5 mm.

Thanks

I have kept some old shuttle drivers from a parts lot I bought some years so. The one on the left is close what you measured but I have to find my caliper... but I´m almost certain that yours is the machine with the smallest hook.

Later more...

[Constabulary]

small one in my case is 17.4mm in diameter and 8mm fence. so I really think you have a small hook machine.

Would you have any idea where I might get a shuttle for it? I have purchased a singer 29K shuttle but it is too big.

Thanks

check with LW member @shoepatcher - he has a lot of odds and ends and is collecting and refurbishing patcher machines of all kind. Link him to this page, maybe he know more than I.
