  • Sewing machine having two bordering guides movable vertically and horizontally respectively, for applying ribbon like trimmings to a work piece
    Patent number: 5199364
    Abstract: A sewing machine having two bordering guides (11, 16) that are used to apply two different ribbon-like trimmings to a workpiece. The first bordering guide (11) is mounted on a machine bed (2) and oscillatable about a vertical axis spaced apart sideways from the working position located in front of a machine presser foot. The second bordering guide (16) is mounted on the machine bed (2) and oscillatable about a horizontal axis arranged at right angles to a workpiece advancing direction and below the working position. Each of the first and second bordering guides is moved from a rest position to a working position located before the presser foot so that they reach the working position alternately with the other while the stitching operation is being carried out.

  • Sewing machine with a sewing head including a rotary housing
    Patent number: 5090342
    Abstract: A sewing machine has a sewing head with a rotary housing, in which a needle bar is arranged, which is slidably supported. A 1st partial transmission unit and a 2nd partial transmission unit are provided as a drive and have a total transmitting ratio of 1. In order to make the moment of inertia of the rotary housing as small as possible, the transmitting ratio of the 1st partial transmission unit is smaller than 1 and the transmitting ratio of the 2nd partial transmission unit is correspondingly larger than 1.

  • Unit to form pellet elements
    Patent number: 5032075
    Abstract: The unit has a conveyor belt (5) adapted to receive, transfer and cool the pellet elements, a cylindrical member (2) located above the conveyor belt and rotatable about an axis transverse to the feed direction of the conveyor belt, the peripheral speed of the cylindrical member substantially corresponding to the feed speed of the conveyor belt, at least a ring element (6) engaged in coaxial relation with and at the outside of the cylindrical member and exhibiting a number of projections (9) oriented radially apart from the cylindrical member (2), feed means (12) and dispensing means (14) adapted to distribute material to the fluid state onto the projections (9) and to form drop portions of the same thereon, each of the projections passing in the vicinity of the conveyor belt (5) so as to let one of the drop portions defining one of the pellet elements fall thereon.
