  • Needle bar guide for a zig zag sewing machine
    Patent number: 4458611
    Abstract: A non-rotatable, disc-like bobbin carrier is nested in a cup-shaped, vertical axis, rotary loop taker that slidably supports the bobbin carrier at its periphery on an annularly extending, discontinuous lip constituting a circular race slightly offset eccentrically from the loop taker axis of rotation. As the loop taker rotates, the eccentrically positioned bobbin carrier jogs back and forth in reciprocating fashion against one and then the other of a pair of diametrically opposed fixed stops that cooperate to preclude rotation of the bobbin carrier. The movement of the bobbin carrier away from and against each stop is synchronized with movement of a thread loop about the bobbin carrier to permit free passage of the loop between the fixed stops and the moving bobbin carrier.
    Type: Grant

  • Swing-open convertible arm for sewing machine
    Patent number: 4080913
    Abstract: A bed in a sewing machine having a fixed free arm and auxiliary bed plate means pivotally supported on the free arm between a retracted position to provide minimum girth around the free arm and an extended position which augments the work supporting area of the free arm. Releasable locking means maintain the auxiliary bed means in either of its positions and biasing means urges the auxiliary bed means from the retracted position towards the extended position.
