  • Patent number: 5499590
    Abstract: A thread guide holder device comprises a thread guide holder which is mounted on a spool stand base and has thread guides each for guiding a thread therethrough, wherein the thread guide holder is mounted on the spool stand base by way of damping materials. As a result, it is possible to restrain the oscillation of the thread guide holder during sewing operation so as to smoothly draw out the threads through the thread guides of the thread guide holder and consequently prevent irregular stitches and restrain an eye-offensive oscillation of the thread guide holder.

  • Patent number: 5381744
    Abstract: A stitch balancing thread tension device for a sewing machine, the body of which is inserted into the opening portion of the sewing machine body, wherein the thread tension device body for supporting a stem on which a pair of tension discs are fit, comprises a projecting portion which contacts the outer side surface of the sewing machine body and pawls which are retained at the circumferential edge of the opening portion by the inner side surface of the sewing machine body for clamping the sewing machine body therebetween. The pawls are elastically invaginable into the thread tension device body to release the sewing machine body from clamping. Since the thread tension device can be attached to or detached from the sewing machine body in one-shot operation, the operability is remarkably improved in efficiency.
