  • Patent number: 11859324
    Abstract: A driving clutch device for a sewing machine includes a drive shaft, a passive member, a clutch seat, an actuating seat, a power unit, and a clutch member. Through fixing the passive member and the clutch seat onto the drive shaft, rotatably disposing the actuating seat, the drive shaft, and returnably disposing the clutch member to the clutch seat, the clutch seat and the actuating seat are able to move synchronously when the clutch member is in the engaged position, but not to move synchronously when the clutch member in the disengaged position, thereby achieving the driving and clutch controls only by the clutch member, the passive member, the clutch seat and the actuating seat. Therefore, the driving clutch device is simpler and the driving is more direct and instant, thereby reducing assembly costs and the error of action coordination.

  • Patent number: 11414799
    Abstract: A feed-dog stabilizing mechanism for a sewing machine essentially includes a support member and a drive source. The support member is disposed below a feed dog and driven to move by the drive source, so that the support member can push against the feed dog, and as a result, the height at which the fabric is bitten by the feed dog can be maintained during the course of fabric feeding to maintain the optimum feeding efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10767293
    Abstract: A sewing-thread pre-stress device for a sewing machine includes: a sewing-thread support, a pre-stress supply member, an abutting member and a top cover. The sewing-thread support includes an accommodating groove with a groove bottom. The pre-stress supply member is made of elastic material, provided in the accommodating groove, and has a folding portion which has two extension portions with one end connected to two sides of the folding portion. The abutting member is disposed on the pre-stress supply member, and the two abutting portions abut against the abutting member. The top cover is disposed on the abutting member and fixed to the sewing-thread support to define a thread space between the top cover and the abutting member for allowing a sewing thread to be inserted therethrough. The member is elastic and V-shaped, therefore the elastic force change is relatively small, which can provide the sewing thread an appropriate tension.
