Device for marking the height above the floor of the edges of articles of clothing

In a device for marking the height above the floor of the edges of articles of clothing, having a fabric deflector with a deflection slot and a longitudinal channel transverse to the deflection slot, and a fabric pressing lever which is movable into the deflection slot, the fabric pressing lever having an immersion end portion with a recess which is alignable with the longitudinal channel of the fabric deflector, wherein the improvement comprises

• a pin magazine shaft extending transversely of said channel and communicating with said channel, and
• a pin insertion ram movable in said channel, and
• actuating means operatively engageable with said pin insertion ram for automatically actuating movement of said pin insertion ram,
• a first movable carriage member supporting said pin insertion ram, said first movable carriage member having a release step,
• said actuating means, comprising a force accumulator means for acting on said first movable carriage member and for accumulating force with which to move said pin insertion ram, for charging said force accumulator means upon a swinging-in movement of said fabric pressing lever and for operatively releasing said force accumulator means via said release step in an end phase of the swinging-in movement of said fabric pressing lever so as to move said pin insertion ram.
