Abstract
A mechanism for positioning a sewing machine in a sewing machine cabinet includes an improved linkage attached to the cabinet and supporting a mounting platform for the sewing machine. The linkage permits movement of the platform between a storage position within the cabinet to either one of two horizontal operating positions. The linkage includes one pair of pivot arms connected from each side of the platform to a bracket suspended from the cabinet. Also one support pin projects from each side of the platform and cooperatively engages an associated positioner attached to the cabinet. The positioners retain the platform in either horizontal operating position. The platform may be tilted from the horizontal operating positions to release the support pins from the positioners and permit movement of the platform to another desired position.
