Patent number: 8869722Abstract: A single bead-shaped piece fed from a storage pipe storing therein a large number of bead-shaped pieces is carried not on a bearing plate but on a support member provided independently from the bearing plate. The support member is arranged movable on the bearing plate in conjunction with forward and backward movement of a feeding member, and also arranged to be moved relative to the feeding member at the time of the forward or backward movement thereof. The support member is provided with a clamping section for clamping the bead-shaped piece, which is adapted to clamp the bead-shaped piece in conjunction with the relative movement of the feeding member and the support member. This permits the bead-shaped piece to be delivered properly from the storage pipe to the sewing position in a stable manner, and hence a sewing machine can reliably sew the bead-shaped piece on a sewing material.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Tokai Kogyo Mishin Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Terutada Kojima, Taichi Fukushima

Patent number: 4493275Abstract: In order to facilitate the stitching of a finding such as a hook or an eye with two or three spaced-apart locations to an underlying fabric, an attachment for a sewing machine with a transversely oscillating needle or work table has a base on which a cross-slide assembly is mounted for supporting a retaining device movable in two mutually orthogonal directions under the control of a handle and a guide member displaceable along a part-circular track. The retaining device has a pointed stud engageable with the fabric and a gripper or clamping jaw adapted to hold the finding which, together with the fabric, is thus displaceable by the handle into any of three different positions relative to a stitching station aligned with the sewing machine.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1983Date of Patent: January 15, 1985Assignee: William Prym Werke KGInventor: Albert J. Fischer

Patent number: 4005663Abstract: An attachment for automatically forming a horizontal thread loop over the sewing area of a sewing machine to enable the loop to be sewn onto a garment as a belt loop includes a prong mounted on one side of the sewing area. A solenoid driven linkage located on the other side of sewing area carries an eye which receives thread from a source. The free end of the thread, after passage through the eye is pinched initially between a fixed sleeve and a moving arrow-shaped blade carried for movement with a sliding bed plate of the machine and located on the other side of the sewing area. In response to brief energization of the solenoid, the eye is carried across the sewing area and about the prong to catch the thread thereon and thereby form a loop having two straight crossing segments radiating from the prong respectively to the eye and the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1975Date of Patent: February 1, 1977Inventor: Raymond Barthelmes
