SEWING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522103 titled 'SEWING MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sewing machine that suppresses sewing defects by controlling the movement of the sewing needle, shuttle, presser foot member, feeding mechanism, needle drive portion, and belt drive portion independently.
- Sewing machine with a sewing needle, shuttle, presser foot member, feeding mechanism, needle drive portion, and control portion.
- Needle drive portion moves the sewing needle and presser foot component in a first direction independently from the belt drive portion.
- Control portion ensures the needle drive portion and belt drive portion operate separately.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in industrial sewing machines, garment manufacturing, textile production, and home sewing machines.
Problems Solved
1. Reducing sewing defects in garments and textiles. 2. Improving the efficiency and accuracy of sewing processes.
Benefits
1. Enhanced seam quality and durability. 2. Increased productivity and reduced rework. 3. Versatile control over sewing machine components.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing production processes in textile factories, enhancing the quality of sewn products, and improving the overall performance of sewing machines.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be sewing machines with automated stitching patterns or programmable controls to adjust sewing parameters.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the cost of manufacturing sewing machines?
The abstract does not provide information on the cost implications of implementing this technology in sewing machines. It would be essential to understand if the benefits outweigh the potential increase in manufacturing costs.
What is the impact of this technology on user training and skill requirements?
It is unclear from the abstract how this technology may affect the training and skill level required for operators using these advanced sewing machines. Understanding the learning curve and potential skill development needed would be crucial for successful adoption in various settings.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sewing machine that suppresses sewing defects is provided. The sewing machine includes: a sewing needle, held by a needle bar and moving back and forth while holding an upper thread; a shuttle, configured to hold a bobbin around which a lower thread is wound and which is housed in a bobbin case, and cooperating with the sewing needle to form a seam; a presser foot member, configured to press a to-be-sewn article at a sewing position directly below the sewing needle; a feeding mechanism, feeding the to-be-sewn article from the sewing position to a first direction; a needle drive portion, provided separately from a belt drive portion to synchronously move the sewing needle and the presser foot component in the first direction; and a control portion, which controls so that the needle drive portion and the belt drive portion operate independently.
