Abstract
A sewing system which permits automated sewing of an anchor member to a covering material. By operation of this sewing system, the covering material is transferred by associated vertical and horizontal transfer mechanisms to a sewing position adjacent to a sewing machine, and then, the anchor member is supplied by the associated supply mechanism to a sewing start point at the sewing machine. The sewing machine operates to sew together the anchor member and covering material from that sewing start point to form a resulting sewn product of an anchor member and a covering material, after which, the resulting sewn product is discharged from the system to a discharging area. Also, the sewing system has a mechanism to adjustably locate and set the covering material at the sewing start point according to the length of the covering material. Further, an arrangement is provided for adjustably permitting supply of different lengths of anchor members to the sewing start point, for proper sewing with the covering member.
