  • Fabric positioning holder
    Patent number: 3974787
    Abstract: A fabric positioning holder is automatically moved by computer directed first and second stepper motors. A force generating means urges the jaws of the fabric positioning holder against the throat plate with total pressures which exceed 10 lbs. The stepper motors are, therefore, mounted such that their mass can be employed to overcome the shock forces associated with rapid movement of the holder.
