Abstract
Abstract A sewing device for producing form seams is usable with a sewing machine having a needle which reiprocates in respect to a cooperating rotary hook. The sewing machine also includes a guide mechanism for guiding a workpiece along a path corresponding to the configuration of the form seam in respect to the needle. The device includes a workpiece support member having a stitch hole for the passage of the needle and a force-away surface bounding the stitch hole. The device includes a plate which is mounted so that the force-away surface is disposed between the needle and the rotary hook and it is mounted for vertical movement and horizontal oscillatory movement. The actuating means for the device causes a movement of the force-away surface in timed relationship to the reciprocation of the needle and in accordance with the movement of the workpiece in a direction opposite to the movement of the workpiece with respect to the needle and the rotary hook.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A sewing device for producing form seams usable with a sewing machine having a needle which reciprocates in respect to a cooperating rotary hook and which includes a guide mechanism for guiding a workpiece along a path corresponding to the configuration of the form seam with respect to the needle, comprising a workpiece support member having a stitch hole for the passage of the needle and having a force-away surface bounding the stitch hole, mounting means supporting said workpiece support for oscillatory back and forth movement and vertical movement between said needle and said hook, and actuating means connected to said mounting means to move said support member in timed relationship to the reciprocation of said needle and the movement of the workpiece and in a direction opposite to the movement of the workpiece with respect to the needle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A sewing device for producing form seams usable with a sewing machine having a needle which reciprocates in respect to a cooperating rotary hook and which includes a guide mechanism for guiding a workpiece along a path corresponding to the configuration of the form seam with respect to the needle, comprising a workpiece support member having a stitch hole for the passage of the needle and having a force-away surface bounding the stitch hole, mounting means supporting said workpiece support for oscillatory back and forth movement and vertical movement between said needle and said hook, and actuating means connected to said mounting means to move said support member in timed relationship to the reciprocation of said needle and the movement of the workpiece and in a direction opposite to the movement of the workpiece with respect to the needle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A sewing device for producing form seams, according to claim 1, wherein said workpiece support member comprises an anvil plate, said mounting means including a supporting bar connected to said plate, said actuating means including means for adjusting the magnitude of displacement of said anvil plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
107 words
A sewing device for producing form seams, according to claim 1, wherein said workpiece support member comprises a plate, a supporting bar connected to said plate having a forked end, a rotatable shaft having an eccentric thereon operating in timed relationship to the operation of said needle, said eccentric being located between the forked end of said supporting bar and effecting the upward and downward movement of this end of said supporting bar, a crank connected to the opposite end of said bar for pivoting said bar for vertical movement of being shiftable to move said bar horizontally backwardly and forwardly during the operation of said needle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A sewing device for producing form seams, according to claim 3, wherein said actuating means includes a mechanism connected to said lever for shifting said crank backwardly and forwardly and means associated with said actuating means for varying the magnitude of shifting of said lever during the reciprocation of said needle.
