Abstract: A miniature electric sewing machine includes a shaft support bracket mounted on one side of a casing, a rotatable shaft supported on the shaft support bracket for rotation so as to extend in parallel with the side surface of the casing, a spindle support arm fixed to the rotatable shaft, and a bobbin winder spindle fixed to a distal end of the spindle support arm so as to extend in parallel with the rotatable shaft. The spindle support arm has a length of 35 mm or more. The spindle support arm fixed to the rotatable shaft assumes a position where it is normal to the side face of the casing or another position where the bobbin winder spindle fixed to the distal end of the arm is directed obliquely downwardly. A stopper is formed on the spindle support arm to be abutted against the side face of the casing when the arm is normal to the casing side face, preventing further upward rotating movement of the arm from the normal position.

Abstract: A miniature handy electric sewing machine includes a casing including a grip portion, a sewing table projecting from one end of the casing, a sewing head pivotally mounted on a rear end of the sewing table and including a sewing needle fastened to its front end, and a cloth presser lever having at its front end a pressing portion which is pressed against an upper surface of the sewing table by a spring force. The cloth presser lever is pivotally mounted on the rear end of the sewing table together with the sewing table. The sewing machine further includes an oscillation mechanism for vertically oscillating the sewing head and a feed mechanism operatively connected to the oscillation mechanism for feeding an object to be sewed by predetermined pitches, the object being held between the sewing table and the pressing portion of the cloth presser lever.
