Abstract: Sewing machine with a sewing machine housing (2) comprising a lower housing part (3), an upper housing part (4) with a sewing head (6) and a stand (5), which connects the lower housing part (3) to the upper housing part (4), wherein the upper housing part (4) comprises a stand-side arm housing section (7), a head-side arm housing section (8) and a joint (23), wherein the joint (23) is arranged in such a manner that the head-side arm housing section (8) can be swiveled between a preparation position for the picking up/delivering of a sewing material and a sewing position for sewing the sewing material.

Abstract: An industrial symmetric pedal control system is provided which allows for ergonomically favorable operation by paired reciprocal control pedals which mirror an operator's right and left limbs. The reciprocal mirror control pedals allow operation of the same predetermined function within designated machinery by either the left or right foot of an operator, thus reducing fatigue while maintaining proper position at a particular workstation. Also included in the system is an ergonomically designed floor mat to provide the operator with more comfort and less fatigue while operating machinery.

Abstract: A sewing line table having integrated power and air supply lines is useful for industrial and commercial sewing lines. A single drop-down conduit can provide a single power connection to deliver power to multiple power outlets disposed inside the table along its length. An air connection nozzle can provide a single air connection to deliver air to multiple locations along the length of the table. The interior of the table can be covered with a top cover, side sheathing and front/back sheathing. The stand-alone sewing line table can be used to increase efficiency and productivity in an industrial or commercial sewing line. The table can also be used in other industries that may require electrical and airline access along a line, such as food processing, or the like.

Abstract: A knee lever a lever including a lever detachably attached to an attachment provided on a bed of a sewing machine; a knee rest mounted on the lever and operated by knee contact, with the lever being attached to the attachment; an adjustment mechanism allowing adjustment in position of knee contact of the knee rest; wherein the adjustment mechanism includes an engagement portion provided at the lever, and an engagement subject provided at the knee rest and being disengagably engaged with the engagement portion to switch a mounting position of the knee rest relative to the lever.

Abstract: A sewing machine operating device includes a base, a connecting mechanism which electrically connects the sewing machine operating device to a sewing machine body, a plurality of operating members which is mounted on the base and operated by a user with his/her foot, a signal output unit which generates an operation signal and delivers the operation signal via the connecting mechanism to the sewing machine body, the operation signal being according to operation of each operating member, and a position adjusting mechanism which changes a position of at least one of the operating members mounted on the base.

Abstract: A sewing machine operating device includes a connection unit which is connectable to a sewing machine body, an output unit which generates and delivers an operation signal according to an action of user's foot, a placement pedestal on which user's foot is placed, a support unit which supports the placement pedestal so that the placement pedestal is movable in any direction, and a detection unit which detects that the placement pedestal or user's foot occupies any one of different predetermined positions when the user has moved the placement pedestal with user's foot being placed on the placement pedestal.
