Abstract: A sewing system serves for sewing seams which the multi-dimensionally in space. A needle-bar upper part of a sewing head is mounted so as to be pivotable in a driven manner about a needle-bar longitudinal axis. A gripper lower part is mounted so as to be pivotable in a driven manner, and in a manner synchronous with the needle-bar upper part, about the needle-bar longitudinal axis, in the sewing-head lower part. Motor components for driving the movement of a needle bar, for pivoting the needle-bar upper part, for driving a gripper in a manner synchronous with the needle bar and for pivoting the gripper lower part are disposed outside the needle-bar upper part and outside the gripper lower part. Parts to be sewn that are topographically non-uniform are also rendered accessible.

Abstract: A double chain stitch sewing machine includes an upper section (10) and a lower section (12), which can be displaced synchronously parallel to a sewing product plane (14) The upper section includes a needle rod (18) holding a needle (20), and a drive (28) for displacing the needle rod perpendicularly to the sewing product plane. The lower section has a hook (40), which reciprocates in a plane parallel to the displacement direction of the needle rod and cooperates with the needle to form the stitch At least one needle stabilizer (42 or 44) in the lower section can be displaced synchronously with the needle rod and hook displacements between a first needle position close to the needle path, in which the needle stabilizer supports the needle against deflection transverse to the displacement path of the hook ,and a second position offset from the needle path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double chain stitch sewing machine comprising an upper machine section (10) and a lower machine section (12), which sections together define a sewing product plane (14) and can be displaced in a synchronous manner parallel to said plane. According to the invention, the upper machine section (10) comprises a needle rod (18), which can be displaced perpendicularly to the sewing product plane (14) by means of a drive (28) and which holds a needle (20), and the lower machine section (12) comprises a hook (40), which cooperates with the needle (20) to form the stitch and which can be displaced back and forth on a plane that runs parallel to the displacement direction of the needle rod (18). At least one needle stabilizer (42, 44) is located in the lower machine section (12).

Abstract: A sewing machine including a sewing machine upper portion with a frame, a needle rod and a sewing foot rod, which rods are guided in the frame for back and forth movement parallel to one another, a rack connected with each of the rods and which racks are driven by separate pinions driven by separate electric motors. These motors and possibly other motors for positioning other parts of the sewing machine are separately controlled independently of one another by a program controlled control unit so that the movement of needle road and of the sewing foot rod can be independently program controlled during a sewing procedure.
