Abstract
In a lower thread automatic supply device, the delivery means 19 and other devices 12, 13 of a bobbin replacing device 14 are mounted through a support plate 22 so disposed as to be shifted outwardly of a sewing machine in the axial direction of a hook 15, thereby eliminating the possibility that cloth, dust, and oil dropping down from the hook 15 and feed dog can attach directly to the delivery means 19 and other devices 12, 13, so that the respective devices 19, 12 and 13 can be kept clean. Also, the delivery means 19 and other devices 12, 13 are disposed spaced apart from a sewing machine operator to thereby be able to eliminate the danger that, when handling the sewing machine, the operator can touch the delivery means and other devices. Further, the hold body 3 of the delivery means 19 can be contacted with a mounting reference surface 21 to thereby be able to facilitate and simplify the mounting operation of the delivery means 19, which in turn makes it possible to improve the mounting precision of the delivery means with respect the hook 15.
