Abstract
A sewing machine includes a main shaft driving a sewing needle to reciprocate it through the material to be sewn which is fed over a needle slide of a stitch plate. The main shaft also drives a trimming knife drive which drives a reciprocating knife which cooperates with a counter blade adjacent the stitch plate for trimming the material. The trimming knife drive includes an eccentric driven by the main shaft and operating a knife operating linkage connected to reciprocate the knife. An eccentric rod is driven by the eccentric and it drives a swing lever through a guide rod which is pivoted thereto. The swing lever in turn drives the knife through a linkage connected between it and the knife and selectively moves it upwardly and downwardly for stopping its motion in either an upward or downward position. A device is connected to the eccentric rod so as to pivot the swing lever into a position in which it actuates the linkage to move the knife to its cutting position independently of the position of the eccentric.
