Abstract
A clutch structure for a presser foot in an embroidery sewing machine is provided. The clutch structure includes a guide member, to which the presser foot drive link is rotatably connected, and through which the needle bar guide shaft passes, a spring connecting member mounted on the outer circumference of the needle bar guide shaft and inside the guide member, a resilient member mounted on the outer periphery of the spring connecting member, and a pivot member mounted inside the guide member so as to be pivotable around the needle bar guide shaft within a certain angular range by the height adjusting mechanism and the resilient member. Upon a head-interval adjusting operation, the unnecessary driving of the presser foot is prevented, so that the occurrence of vibrations and noise as well as the unnecessary wear of a needle bar, a presser foot support, and a presser foot holder can be prevented.
