Abstract

A lifting rocker which is pivotally supported by a link is engaged with an eccentric ring which is fixed to a main shaft of a sewing machine. By the rotation of the eccentric ring, the lifting rocker rocks up and down about a fulcrum defined by the link while causing the link to rock. A feed bar having thereon a feed dog is slidably supported by the lifting rocker, and moves in back and forth directions through the rocking of the arm to constantly maintain a definite amount of feed without respect to variation of the rotational speed of the main shaft of the sewing machine.
