Sewing machine having a thread finger assembly

Abstract

A thread finger assembly for a sewing machine has at least one thread finger. The latter can be actuated between a loop engagement position and a loop pull-out position. The loop engagement position serves for the engagement of the thread finger in a thread loop generated by the sewing machine in a stitch forming region. The loop pull-out position is displaced relative to the loop engagement position for pulling out the thread loop with the thread finger, away from the stitch forming area. A thread finger drive serves for actuating the thread finger between the loop engagement position and the loop pull-out position. This results in an assembly of a sewing machine with which an appealing seam pattern is generated in a reproducible manner at a seam beginning.
