SEWING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522155 titled 'SEWING MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sewing machine with a sewing needle, shuttle, pressing member, feed mechanism, belt drive part, needle drive part, and control part operating independently.
- Sewing machine with independent belt drive and needle drive parts:
* Includes a sewing needle, shuttle, pressing member, feed mechanism, belt drive part, needle drive part, and control part. * The belt drive part moves the sewing object along one direction, while the needle drive part moves the sewing needle in another direction. * The control part ensures the belt drive and needle drive parts operate independently.

This article does not address the maintenance requirements or procedures for the described sewing machine technology. Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of any machinery, including sewing machines. Proper lubrication, cleaning, and inspection of components are crucial to prevent breakdowns and ensure consistent operation. Regular servicing by trained professionals can also help identify and address any potential issues before they escalate.
What are the energy consumption implications of this technology?
The abstract does not mention the energy consumption of the sewing machine with independent belt drive and needle drive parts. Understanding the energy requirements of this technology is essential for evaluating its cost-effectiveness and environmental impact. Factors such as power usage, efficiency, and potential energy-saving features should be considered to assess the overall sustainability of implementing this innovation. Conducting energy audits and comparisons with traditional sewing machines can provide valuable insights into the energy consumption implications of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sewing machine includes: a sewing needle; a shuttle, cooperating with the sewing needle to form a seam; a pressing member, pressing a sewing object disposed at a sewing position immediately below the sewing needle; a feed mechanism, in which endless feed belts feeding the sewing object disposed at the sewing position from the sewing position along a first direction are disposed on two sides with respect to the sewing position in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and in which a belt drive part is provided; a needle drive part, provided separately from the belt drive part, and moving the sewing needle in the first direction; and a control part, exerting control so that the belt drive part and the needle drive part operate independently.
