A sewing machine comprising a feed unit 10 to feed a folded tape beneath a presser foot 8, a cutting unit 15 to cut the tape upstream of the presser foot and a hemming group 21 to guide and shape the hem of a workpiece upstream of the presser foot. The feed unit 10, cutting unit 15 and hemming group 21 comprise a feed guide 11, a cutting member 16 and a hem folder 22 respectively, which are individually and selectively movable from a rest position in which they are spaced apart from a workpiece supporting table 3 and the presser foot 8 to a working position in which they are disposed close to the supporting table and presser foot to perform their operating functions.

Multifunction sewing machine with tape feeding, cutting and hemming

A sewing machine includes a presser foot 9 provided, at the front portion 9a thereof, with an engagement seat 21 through which two ribbon-like pieces of trimmings 15, 16 of different width to be individually and selectively fed to the presser foot, can be sent under a central portion 9b of the latter so that they are engaged by the line of sewing together with the workpiece. An adjustment element 23 is positioned in said engagement seat in order to define the useful width of the seat depending upon the width of the piece of trimmings to be used. A cutting unit 31 is slidably mounted along a guide element 34 and is movable from a rest position in which it is spaced apart sideways from the sewing machine supporting table 3 to a rest position in which it is located close to the supporting table to cut the piece of trimmings previously used.

Sewing machine for feeding and cutting ribbon like pieces of different

The device herein described comprises a feed roller 12 rotated by a motor 16 and disposed before the presser foot 9 at right angles to the feed advance direction of the workpiece. Individually and selectively acting against the feed roller 12 are two pressure backing rollers 19, 20 each of which engages a respective piece of ribbon-like trimmings to push it against the feed roller which carries out the pulling thereof. The pressure backing rollers 19, 20 are supported by a swinging plate which is caused to oscillate upon the action of a fluid-operated cylinder 30 in order to make the backing rollers selectively engage with the feed roller 12 and therefore selectively feed said ribbon-like trimmings under the pressure foot 9.

Device to feed ribbon-like trimmings under the pressure foot of a sewing

The sewing machine herein described comprises a hem folder 9 arranged to introduce an elastic band into the folded edges of a workpiece and a feed guide 16 arranged to apply ribbon-like trimmings along the edges of the same workpiece. The hem folder is oscillatably connected to the machine bed 2 and is movable, upon command of a fluid-operated cylinder 15, from a working position in which it is disposed flush with the workpiece supporting table 3 and before the presser foot 7 to a rest position in which it is tilted in front of the bed and disposed at a lower position than the supporting table. The feed guide which is connected to the machine bed by a rotary fluid-operated cylinder 20, is movable from a rest position in which it is spaced apart sideways from the supporting table 3 to a working position in which it has a free end 16a disposed before the presser foot.
