Abstract
Method of manufacturing a sewing machine bobbin having flanges at both ends, which is characterized by integrally welding bobbin parts by means of laser beam irradiation. Aluminum is suitable for bobbin material except having comparatively low melting point, which has conventionally made it difficult to use aluminum material for bobbin. Described is the method of welding alminum bobbin parts by means of laser beam irradiation, which is also available for welding other materials.
