A label picking up device for drawing by suction the uppermost label from a plurality of labels accommodated in a pile in a label case by way of a vacuum suction unit and supplying the sucked label to a given sewing machine comprises a presser member which is inserted into the label case through a vertical opening portion formed on a side wall thereof for pressing the pile of the labels at an edge portion thereof in the label case from above at a given pressure and a peel-off plate for pushing out the uppermost label by rubbing the same on an edge portion of the upper surface thereof so as to release the same from being pressed down by the presser member. As a result, it is possible to draw the uppermost label by suction with certainty regardless of the weight of the label, the air permeability thereof, etc., and moreover supply the same to a given sewing position.

Label picking up device

A feeding device of a wide sewing material comprises a first belt conveyer unit provided on a supporting member vertically driven by a first elevating unit, a first base plate vertically driven by a second elevating unit provided on the supporting member, a horizontally driving unit for horizontally driving a second base plate and a second belt conveyer unit which is supported by the second base plate and is arranged on the side of the edge portion to be sewn of the wide sewing material in parallel therewith and which is driven to rotate by a rotary device. Since the feeding device can secure a large space from the edge portion by retracting the second belt conveyer units, next operation can be performed with ease. As a result, it is possible to perform the feeding and sewing of a wide sewing material, which is difficult to work at the edge portion thereof automatically, with accuracy and efficiency.
