Abstract

A driving mechanism for actuating an underbed thread trimmer in a post-type sewing machine. The unit is selectively controlled by a solenoid and actuated by two cams located on the hook shaft of the feeding post. Rotary motion of the shaft and cams is converted into translational motion for the trimmer by a pivoting swivel lever and cam follower combination.
