  • Device for controlling stitch chains in sewing machines having a plurality of needles
    Patent number: 4303030
    Abstract: A device for sewing machines having more than one stitch forming needle for grouping together and aligning the threads of stitch chains with the sewing axis which were formed on individual tongues of the machine's needle plate. An integral projection formed on the needle plate in spaced relation to the tongues is provided on each side thereof with camming surfaces one of which is effective in grouping all of the threads together withdrawn from their respective tongues and the other guides the grouped threads to a position for entry into one of the plate's needle throats after which they become aligned with the sewing axis and then cut to a desired length and the cut portion restrained for incorporation into the next seam to be formed.

  • Device for aligning chains of stitches in a two-needle sewing machine
    Patent number: 4175500
    Abstract: A needleplate for a two-needle sewing machine of the type for simultaneously forming a straight stitch chain and an over cast stitch chain. The plate is provided with guide surfaces which interconnect the needle holes in the plate and a device for increasing the quantity of thread normally used by the looper associated with the needle for forming the straight stitch chain. At the completion of a sewing cycle the combination of the guide surfaces and excess looper thread permit the straight stitch chains to be moved toward and in alignment with the overcast stitch chain so that they will be incorporated together in the initial stitches formed in the following workpiece.
