Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1209273A2] In a process to form a stitch, a sewing machine has a supply of thread (11) withdrawn over a roller (13) aided by a roller power drive. The torque applied to the roller is regulated especially in accordance with the stitching program data for each individual type of stitch. Also claimed is a sewing machine with a clutch (31) drive to the roller (13). The roller clutch is engaged by thread movement of the roller. The roller is powered by the needle plunger drive shaft (41), moving the swivel lever (43) and rod (42) synchronised with the needle action. When thread is static the clutch ensures that torque can only be applied in one direction via the gear (39,40) to the roller (13). Because the same time lapse for each cycle is always the same irrespective of the stitch length, the roller turns at higher speeds for longer stitches than shorter. The clutch is regulated in accordance with the type of stitch required and maintains the thread tension irrespective of the stitch length.
