FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a sewing machine table, more particularly, to a
sewing machine table in which a sewing machine body and a sewing machine foot pedal
are installed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In general, a sewing machine is a machine used to make or sew clothes using various
fabrics and thread with a needle. The sewing machine can make clothes within a short
time beyond the time limitation of human hands.
[0003] A sewing machine table is composed of a top plate on which a sewing machine and fabric
are placed and legs supporting the top plate to perform a sewing operation.
[0004] More specifically, the sewing machine table is manufactured by combining a flat top
plate having a predetermined area with a long shape and legs having a predetermined
length on a bottom surface of the top plate.
[0005] However, such a sewing machine table with legs having predetermined length has a
problem in that it is difficult for some operator to work if the body size of an operator
does not fit with the table dimensions.
[0006] In addition, since a foot pedal of the sewing machine is not fixed, when the operator
uses the foot pedal, the foot pedal is pushed forward by the operator's foot. Accordingly,
the operator cannot properly step on the foot pedal or uses the foot pedal with difficulties,
and thus, work efficiency decreases.

[0020] Referring to these drawings, a sewing machine table according to the present invention
is height adjustable and an operating foot pedal thereof can be rigidly fixed.
[0021] The sewing machine table 100 according to the present embodiment that can provide
such an effect, is provided with an operating foot pedal 10 connected to a driving
motor for driving the sewing machine and includes an upper frame 110 and a lower frame
120.
[0022] The upper frame 110 is provided with a top plate 111 on which the sewing machine
can be installed.
[0023] The lower frame 120 is coupled to a bottom portion of the upper frame 110. That is,
a height adjustment support 121 of the lower frame 120 is coupled to both bottom ends
of the top plate 111.
[0024] Operating cylinders 121a of the height adjustment support 121 are coupled to both
bottom ends of the top plate 111 to adjust the height of the top plate 111. A piston
rod 121b of the height adjustment support 121 is provided at a bottom end of the operating
cylinder 121a.
[0025] A lower support 123 of the height adjustment support 121 is coupled to a bottom end
of the piston rod 121b.
[0026] Although not shown, the height adjustment support 121 is operated by a separate motor
and a switch.
[0027] An upper connecting plate 122 is coupled between the operating cylinders 121a.
[0028] A first fixing protrusion 122b drawn out by elasticity is formed on a front surface
of the upper connecting plate 122.
[0029] In this case, it is desired that the first fixing protrusion 122b is formed of magnetic
material.
[0030] In addition, a first lower connecting plate 124 is coupled between the lower supports
123.
[0031] An operating foot pedal of the sewing machine is installed on the first lower connecting
plate 124.
[0032] In this case, the first lower connecting plate 124 is movably coupled to the lower
support 123 and moves along a longitudinal direction of the lower support 123.
[0033] Furthermore, the first lower connecting plate 124 is rotatably coupled to the lower
support 123 so that an angle of the operating foot pedal can be adjusted.
[0034] Second fixing protrusions 124a are formed on both sides of the first lower connecting
plate 124.
[0035] A roller 214b is formed on the second fixing protrusion 124a.
[0036] In this case, the roller 124b is formed in an elliptical shape.
[0037] In addition, a slide groove 123a which the second fixing protrusion 124a can be inserted
into and the roller 124b can move along is formed on side surfaces of the lower support
123 that face each other.
[0038] In this case, the slide groove 123a has a wavy shape to form a curve.
[0039] Accordingly, when the roller 214b moves along the slide groove 123a, an angle of
the first lower connecting plate 124 can be adjusted.
[0040] In addition, a moving groove 123b is formed on each outer side surface of the lower
support 123 so that the second fixing protrusion 124a protrudes to the outside.
[0041] The moving groove 123b is formed to correspond to the slide groove 123a so that the
second fixing protrusion 124a moving along the slide groove 123a is movable.
[0042] In this case, a fixing member 124c for fixing the position and angle of the first
lower connecting plate 124 is engaged with the second fixing protrusion 124a, which
protrudes out of the moving groove 123b.
[0043] In addition, a second lower connecting plate 125 disposed in parallel with the upper
connecting plate 122 is coupled between upper portions of the lower supports 123.
[0044] The second lower connecting plate 125 includes locking holes 125a formed on a side
surface facing the upper connecting plate 122.
[0045] The locking hole 125a is formed of metal material and is magnetically coupled to
the first fixing protrusion 122b.
[0046] In this case, the first fixing protrusion 122b may be fixed by being caught on a
top end of the second lower connecting plate 125 or by being inserted into the locking
hole 125a.
[0047] In addition, a moving wheel (not shown) may be coupled to a bottom end of the lower
support 123.
[0048] According to a sewing machine table of the present invention, the sewing machine
table is provided with an upper support frame coupled to a top plate and a cylinder
coupled to the upper support frame and capable of adjusting a height, thereby enabling
a height of the top plate to be adjusted according to a body size of an operator and
increasing work efficiency.
[0049] In addition, the sewing machine table is provided with a lower connecting plate that
allows an operating foot pedal to be fixed between lower supports, thereby enabling
the operating foot pedal to be rigidly fixed and not to be pushed by the operator's
step.
