Abstract
A feeding mechanism of an eyelet-end buttonhole sewing machine comprising a bed shaft rotatably supported by a bed, a rapid feed shaft rotatably supported by the bed, a pattern wheel shaft being rotatably supported by the bed and driven by the rapid feed shaft, and a feed wheel being rotatably supported by the bed and driven by the pattern wheel shaft for giving rapid feed to a cloth to be sewn in a forward and backward direction, and also being rotatably driven by the bed shaft for giving rapid feed to the cloth to be sewn in a forward and backward direction involved in a sewing step, the feeding mechanism further comprising a rotary driving source being rotatably driven normally and reversely, a bed shaft rotary member being rotatably driven normally and reversely by the rotary driving source, a rapid feed rotary member being fixed to the rapid feed shaft and retained by the bed shaft rotary member so as to be reversely rotated therewith, a one way sewing clutch for transmitting only a normal rotation of the bed shaft rotary member to the bed shaft, and a one way rapid feed clutch for transmitting only a reverse rotation of the bed shaft rotary member to the pattern wheel shaft by way of the rapid feed rotary member and the rapid feed shaft.
