Abstract
A working table structure is provided for a sewing machine having stitching units arranged on a support frame, a movable frame provided with workpiece holders for holding workpieces and movable in directions parallel to an X-axis perpendicular to the axes of the arms of the stitching units and in directions parallel to a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis, and driving mechanisms for driving the movable frame for movement in directions parallel to the X-axis and the Y-axis. The working table structure has at least one working table top disposed above the movable frame in directions parallel to the X-axis and removably supported on the support frame. Since the working table top is disposed above the range of movement of the movable frame with respect to its complete range of movement in directions parallel to the X-axis, the working table top will not interfere with the movable frame. Further, since the working table top is removable, maintenance service for the driving mechanisms can be carried out without any hindrance.
