  • Publication number: 20200340159
    Abstract: In a lower thread winding device, a motor rotates a thread winding shaft on which a bobbin is mounted. A sensor lever includes a contact portion contactable with a lower thread wound on the bobbin, and a cam piece. A contact includes a pin configured to contact the cam piece and rotates between a first position at which the pin contacts a first outer peripheral portion of the cam piece, and a second position at which the pin contacts a second outer peripheral portion of the cam piece. A lever shifts a position of the pin located when the contact is at the first position. The controller drives the motor when the contact is at the first position and stops driving the motor upon receipt of a detection result, by the detector, indicating that the contact is at the second position.
