Abstract

Provided is a sewing machine with a threading device having good operability without simultaneous operation of both hands of a user for threading. This threading device includes: a needle bar thread hanging part 6 for hanging a thread of the needle bar; a thread holding part 25 for holding a thread part 24c of a thread 24; a thread guide body 14 for holding the thread 24 hung on the needle bar thread hanging part 6 and held on the thread holding part 25 in the horizontal direction with rotation; a threading hook body 13 rotatably provided and having a hook part inserted in an eye of a needle 7; a cam part 21 for automatically releasing pressing and holding of the thread holding part 25 to the thread part 24c when the hook part of the threading hook body 13 is on standby or rotated in the reverse direction; and an operating lever part 8B for interlocking rotation of the thread guide body 14, rotation of a mediating gear 16, reverse rotation of the threading hook body 13 and the operation of the cam part 21.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sewing machine with a threading device for automatically threading a thread into the eye of a machine needle. Background technique [0002] When tailoring, the more troublesome work is to thread the thread into the eye of the needle. For this reason, a sewing machine including a needle bar for mounting a needle base of a machine needle having an eye and a threading device for threading a thread into the eye of the needle has conventionally been proposed (JP-A-4-64386). The threading device of the above-mentioned publication has an operating lever portion arranged to be raised and lowered, a support body that moves up and down between a retracted position and a threading position according to the operation of the operating lever portion, and a needle that is inserted into the eye of the machine needle as the support body rotates. The hook part and the guide piece that supplement the thread part in the middle between t...
