Abstract
A multineedle clamp for sewing machines, comprises a needle clamp body which has a plurality of spaced parallel needle receiving bores defined therein, with a web portion defined between each two adjacent bores. A pressing screw is threaded into the needle clamp body from one side and bears against a needle positioned in the adjacent needle receiving bore to bias it in a direction against the web. The needle receiving clamp body also includes a transverse bore extending into the body at substantially right angles to the pressing screw which carries a resilient pad member which is biased against the peripheries of two adjacent needles at the locations where the bores thereof are separated by the web and open into the laterally extending bore. The webs may be formed as resilient elements joined to the needle clamp body and the crossbore receiving the resilient member advantageously opens into a third bore which extends parallel to the two adjacent needle bores and which intersects their circumference such that an arcuate portion of each needle bore communicates with the passage containing the resilient member.
