An apparatus for automatically feeding one edge of a textile article to a sewing machine. The apparatus includes a first gripper adjacent to the sewing machine for gripping the leading portion of the edge of the textile article. A feed dog is adjacent to the first gripper for advancing the edge of the textile article with respect to the sewing machine. A second gripper grips the trailing portion of the edge of the textile article. A positioner supporting the second gripper means moves the second gripper with respect to the feed means. Finally, a programmable controller controls the movement of the positioner to advance the trailing portion of the edge of the textile article in response to the movement of the leading portion of the edge of the textile article.

The invention is a readily adjustable work station. The invention includes a manual or machine driven linkage for adjusting the vertical position of a work station top surface in a level manner. This linkage includes rack and gear sets associated with movable supporting columns that support the work station top surface and a rotational transfer means that ensures that rotational energy from a driving means is evenly imparted to the rack and gear sets. Alternatively, the mechanical linkage may comprise ball plunger screws rather than rack and gear sets.The invention also includes an apparatus for manually adjusting the angular orientation of the work station top surface, and an apparatus for adjusting the clearance between the stationary support structure and the movable support structure.

A working table structure is provided for a sewing machine having stitching units arranged on a support frame, a movable frame provided with workpiece holders for holding workpieces and movable in directions parallel to an X-axis perpendicular to the axes of the arms of the stitching units and in directions parallel to a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis, and driving mechanisms for driving the movable frame for movement in directions parallel to the X-axis and the Y-axis. The working table structure has at least one working table top disposed above the movable frame in directions parallel to the X-axis and removably supported on the support frame. Since the working table top is disposed above the range of movement of the movable frame with respect to its complete range of movement in directions parallel to the X-axis, the working table top will not interfere with the movable frame. Further, since the working table top is removable, maintenance service for the driving mechanisms can be carried out without any hindrance.

A fabric rest board for use with a serger machine. The fabric rest board is an L-shaped, substantially flat, rigid piece. One leg of the L-shaped fabric rest board is positioned to extend substantially in parallel with, and along or adjacent to, an edge of a work table. The other leg of the L-shaped piece extends substantially perpendicular from the edge of the work table adjacent a bag attached to the serger machine for collecting cut pieces of fabric. The serger machine rests on the leg of the support piece which extends substantially parallel with, and along or adjacent to, the edge of the work table. The weight of the serger machine fixes the position of the fabric rest board on the work table. The operator uses the perpendicular leg to rest the fabric as the fabric is moved through the serger machine. The fabric is thereby prevented from falling between the serger machine and the operator which, if this occurs, can cause incorrect cuts or stitches.

A worktable for sewing units having sewing machines with free-arm type bases mounted on a support bench. The worktable is operatively connected to the support bench and includes a recess with a configuration conforming to the shape of the sewing machine base. By means of a selectively controlled lifting device, the worktable can be moved to and from operative association with the base as desired to accommodate either tubular seaming or seaming on flat workpieces which require a larger supporting surface.

An electric sewing machine comprises a casing with an electric drive motor mounted in the casing. The casing includes a recess defined in the base portion which opens on one end and receives a control member which fits in the recess. The control member carries a control for regulating the speed of the motor which includes a foot-pedal switch for operating a variable resistance to change the motor speed. The control member includes a reel over which a connecting cable is wound and which extends between the control in the housing of the control member through the casing to the motor. A winding mechanism permits the control member to be removed from the recess of the casing by permitting the unwinding of the cable without disconnecting it from the control. The winding mechanism includes a reel which is unwound with the cable and a spring for returning the reel when the cable is to be rewound for replacement of the control into the housing. Detent mechanisms associated with the reel permit the locking of the reel when the control member is removed from the recess by the amount of cable necessary to position it in a desired control position. The locking mechanism may be unlocked by pulling the connecting line slightly to release the detent means and permit the rewinding of the connecting cable on the reel during the replacement of the control member into the recess.

A cover construction for a sewing machine work support column which is adapted to contain a looper and a thread-cutting device comprises an upright support member or column upon which a substantially L-shaped cover member is pivotal. The cover member includes a cover plate portion which extends horizontally in a closed position and covers the top of the device and a side portion which extends vertically in a closed position. The cover plate member is openable to a position opened outwardly from the support member in which position the cover is located in a vertical position and the side portion in a horizontal position. The side portion includes two bearing faces which are defined on the back and the bottom faces thereof, respectively, and which will abut against a top bearing surface of a locking member which is displaceable along the height of the upright support member. In the open position, one bearing face on the side wall is engaged on the locking member and in the closed position, the bottom bearing face engages on the top of the locking member. The locking member is biased by a coil spring around the mounting member in an upward direction in which it contracts the bearing face on the side wall in an open position of the cover and the bearing face on the bottom wall in the closed position of the cover. In addition, the cover has a torsion spring associated with it which rotates it to an open position when the locking member is pushed downwardly against its biasing spring.
摘要:
A convertible table structure, providing a planar table top adapted, among other things, to support an open-arm or portable type of sewing machine, includes an apertured platform providing the table top and having a platform section fitting the aperture and adapted to mount the sewing machine so it can be lowered to a position wherein its working surface is coplanar with the work top of the platform proper. Link means, such as parallel motion mechanism, attaches the platform section to the platform proper, and means, such as a specially shaped lever rod, is provided for moving the platform section between its coplanar position and a lowered position, as well as for locking the platform section in its coplanar position. Other means are provided for holding such platform section in a selected lowered position. Legs or other suitable structure, such as a cabinet, supports the platform at a convenient working level.

A mounting arrangement for a sewing machine is disclosed. The mounting arrangement comprises a base for receiving the sewing machine, guide means vertically mounted on opposite sides of the sewing machine cabinet for guiding the base in its movement between two vertical positions, spring means joining the base and the cabinet for counterbalancing the weight of the sewing machine, and indexing means mounted on the cabinet for engaging the base, so as to position such base at anyone of the two vertical positions.
