| 20090126610 | MULTI-HEAD SEWING MACHINE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION OF MULTI-HEAD SEWING MACHINE - A balancer is fixedly attached to a rotary input shaft of a crank mechanism that converts rotary drive of a needle bar drive source to up-and-down motion of a needle bar. The balancer is caused to rotate at substantially an opposite phase with respect to up-and-down motion of the needle bar with the rotary drive of the needle bar drive source. When the balancer is driven at substantially the opposite phase with respect to the up-and-down motion of the needle bar, inertia force in an up-and-down direction of the needle bar, generated due to the up-and-down motion of the needle bar is negated, whereby it is possible to reduce vibration generated in the up-and-down direction. Sewing heads paired with each other by being arbitrarily combined are controlled so as to be rotationally driven to cause rotational directions of the needle bar drive sources to become opposite directions to each other. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20130068146 | Guiding Structure For A Cloth Feeding Mechanism - A guiding structure for a cloth feeding mechanism which is disposed on a base below a needle plate of a sewing machine, a feeding dog driven by the cloth feeding mechanism is mounted on a mounting seat. The guiding structure comprising a first guiding portion formed on the mounting seat and a second guiding portion formed on a guiding device, the first and second guiding portions cooperate with each other to guide the feeding dog to move in the X-axis direction, so that the cloth can be fed precisely along the predetermined path to ensure good sewing quality. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20150090167 | DIRECT DRIVE CLOTH FEEDING MECHANISM OF SEWING MACHINE - A direct drive cloth feeding mechanism of a sewing machine includes a cloth feeding structure, a vertical driving structure and a direction adjustment structure. The cloth feeding structure includes a swing shaft and a cloth feeding teeth member. The vertical driving structure includes an eccentric shaft connected to the cloth feeding teeth member, and an eccentric cam disposed on the eccentric shaft. The direction adjustment structure includes a stepping motor, and a rotating shaft driven by the stepping motor to rotate and switch between a first position and a second position. When the stepping motor directly drives the rotating shaft to the first position, the cloth feeding teeth member performs a forward feeding process. When the stepping motor directly drives the rotating shaft to the second position, the cloth feeding teeth member performs a reverse feeding process. | 04-02-2015 |

| 20120079974 | Feed Dog Device for a Sewing Machine - A feed dog device for a sewing machine includes a feed dog mount mounted under a needle plate and having a feed dog mounted thereon to permit the feed dog to extend through slots in the needle plate. The feed dog mount is coupled with a lever through a force transmitting unit to couple an increased torque generated by a pivotal movement of the lever to the feed dog mount so as to enable a weight end of the lever to drive the feed dog mount to move reciprocatingly in a transverse direction perpendicular to a normal feeding direction of a fabric. The lever is actuated by a cam follower with a torque generated as a result of transmission through a rotary cam member which is rotated with an output shaft of the drive member. Since the feed dog can be reciprocatingly moved in the transverse direction, the sewing machine can perform a variety of sewing operations. | 04-05-2012 |
