Abstract
A blind stitch sewing mechanism includes a sewing head ( ) with a carrier ( ), a needle shaft ( ) rotatably supported on the carrier ( ), which needle shaft is connected with a needle holder ( ) radially extending from the needle shaft for holding an arc shaped needle curved about the axis ( ) of the needle shaft ( ), a needle drive ( ) for moving the needle ( ) back and forth, a loop catcher ( ) moveably supported on the carrier ( ) for receiving a thread loop formed by the withdrawal of the needle from the work material, a catcher drive for moving the loop catcher ( ) in timewise coordination with the movement of the needle ( ), and a device ( ) creating a relative movement between the sewing head ( ) and the work material, the loop catcher ( ) being formed for a back and forth movement perpendicular to the movement path of the needle ( ) and the device ( ) creating a relative movement between the sewing head ( ) and the work material being so formed that the created sewn seam runs at least nearly in the direction of the movement path of the arc shaped needle ( ).
