Abstract: A plurality of workpieces, hanging from a sewing machine, are stacked on a workpiece stacking panel in such a manner that the lower end each of the workpiece is clamped on a workpiece draping cylinder by a first swingable clamping member and the intermediate portion thereof is thrown by a workpiece throw-over member and turned over the draping cylinder. A second swingable clamping member is provided under a working table to clamp the topmost workpiece on the stacking panel. The stacking panel is adapted for gradual downward movement according to quantity of the workpieces to be stacked on the panel.

Abstract: A stopping device for an eyelet button holing machine provides a stopper arm which plunges into a recess portion of a stopper cam positioned coaxial to the main shaft. To absorb the stopping impulse, extra wheel cams are provided coaxial to the main shaft which induce the stopper arm to be inclined such that its position causes a clutch pulley to contact with a low speed pulley and then the stopper arm plunges into the recess portion of the stopper cam. Thus, the machine is stopped in two steps and the stopping impulse force is effectively alleviated.
