A sewing machine includes a baseplate with a pedestal thereon having an upstanding column on the pedestal supporting an upper arm carrying the drive for a reciprocating sewing needle. A fabric-supporting arm extends outwardly from the pedestal and overlies one side of the baseplate below the upper arm and carries the thread-engagement mechanism, for example. The baseplate advantageously carries a bearing bushing for pivotally supporting an add-on table so that a pivot belt of the table may be pivoted about a vertical axis which is in substantial alignment with the rear wall of the supporting arm. The add-on table includes a first portion which extends at right angles to a second portion thereof and when the first portion is pivoted alongside the front end of the fabric-supporting arm, the second portion will be disposed along a side face of the supporting arm. The height of the table and the dimensions of the pivot bolt are such that the add-on table provides a surface which forms a continuation of the top surface of the supporting arm.
In a sewing machine, including a baseplate, a base pedestal mounted on said baseplate and a fabric-supporting arm extending outwardly from said pedestal and overlying at least one side of the baseplate, the improvement comprising, an add-on table of substantially L-shaped configuration having a first part which is alignable with an edge of the arm and a second part extending at substantially right angles to said first part which is alignable with a side of the arm, and pivotable mounting means pivotally supporting said add-on table alongside and spaced from the fabric-supporting arm for pivotal movement about a vertical axis which is substantially in alignment with a rear edge of the supporting arm.
In a sewing machine, including a baseplate, a base pedestal mounted on said baseplate and a fabric-supporting arm extending outwardly from said pedestal and overlying at least one side of the baseplate, the improvement comprising, an add-on-table, and pivotal mounting means pivotally supporting said add-on table alongside and spaced from the fabric-supporting arm for pivotal movement about a vertical axis which is substantially in alignment with a rear edge of the supporting arm, said add-on table including a first part having a pivot pin comprising said pivotal mounting means and a second part extending substantially at right angles to said first part, said second part comprising a container and a cover pivotally mounted to said second part and closing said container.
