Abstract
A counter-weighted eccentric or crank is clamped to an end of the upper drive shaft. A link is pivoted between the eccentric and an end of a short leg on a V-shaped rocker. The base of the V-shaped rocker is pivoted on a fixed pin. The long arm of the V-shaped rocker is connected to a needle bar to drive the needle bar up and down. The movement of the needle bar carries a main needle and thread through a workpiece to make stitches in the cloth.
