Abstract
A sewing machine has a tape feeder for laterally aligning pre-positioned tapes of different widths at a presser foot (38) with a presser foot sole (4), the presser foot arranged in such a way that it can move up and down. Several guide elements (15) constructed in the form of lamallae (34) and aligned in the tape feed direction are fitted in the tape in-feed region on the presser foot sole (4). These guide elements (15) guide the tapes laterally.
Claims11
A tape feeder in combination with a presser foot, the presser foot having a presser foot sole, for laterally aligning prepositioned tapes of different widths, in which several resilient guide elements are positioned by a support connected between the presser foot sole and one end of the guide/elements in a tape in-feed region of the presser foot sole, the guide elements being arranged adjacent to each other and aligned in a tape feed direction, whereby the guide elements receive and laterally align the prepositioned tapes of different widths.
A tape feed-in device on a presser foot assembled on a sewing machine comprising:
- a presser foot sole;
- a wall mounted on the presser foot sole;
- a holder pivotally mounted on the wall and arranged transversely to a tape feed direction;
- and
- a plurality of resilient guide elements aligned in the tape feed direction, each resilient guide element having a proximal end that is secured by the holder and a distal free end positioned in a tape in-feed region of the presser foot sole, whereby the resilient guide elements receive and laterally align prepositioned tapes of different widths.
