Abstract

In a sewing machine having two mechanisms different in sewing functions installed within one machine frame a single drive motor is provided and functions are alternately actuated by means of a clutch mechanism. Transmission of a driving force is made by keys and corresponding key grooves, and a selection mechanism has a switch-checking device for avoiding an erroneous operation. A release device of the switch-checking device is actuated by operation of the flywheel, to avoid dangers of erroneous switching during operation.
