Abstract
A sewing machine of a small size is enabled to deal with a fabric of an increased size to be sewn. A vertical spacing between an upper shaft mechanism and a lower shaft mechanism is adjustable. A need for a special control circuit which is designed for matching rotational positions of an upper and a lower shaft is dispensed with. At this end, a flexible wire 30 is used to connect an upper shaft unit 1 and a lower shaft unit 2 together. A single electric motor 10 is disposed within one of the upper and the lower shaft unit while a speed increasing mechanism 20 (or a speed reducing mechanism) is disposed in the other. An air cylinder 40 enables the vertical position of the upper shaft unit 1 to be adjustable.
