Abstract
A movable blade unit in an automatic thread cutting device comprises a plate-like arresting member having an arresting portion for arresting the needle thread and the bobbin thread. A plate-like movable blade provided with a cutting edge cuts the needle thread and the bobbin thread in cooperation with a fixed blade and is disposed under the arresting member. A plate-like guide member is disposed under the movable blade and provided with a guide portion for guiding the needle thread and the bobbin thread arrested by the arresting member into a slit formed in the arresting member. A spacer interposed between the movable blade and the guide member forms a gap for receiving the fixed blade between the movable blade and the guide member. These members of the movable blade unit are easy to form; hence, the movable blade unit can be fabricated at a reduced cost and surely holds and cuts the needle thread and the bobbin thread.
