SEQUIN FEEDING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent abrasion of a movable knife, and to shorten a projection length of a pressing unit of a needle bar while making available when a gap between the needle bar and the movable knife is large.SOLUTION: A sequin feeding device comprises: a movable knife 21; a pressed member 25 provided changeably at a position spacing to a needle bar 80 side from the movable knife 21, and pushed down by a pressing unit 82 of the needle bar 80 in drop of the needle bar 80; and a power transmission mechanism 30 driving the movable knife 21 by transferring the force that the pressed member 25 caught from the pressing unit 82 to the movable knife 21. Sequin S is separated from a tip of a sequin tape T by driving the movable knife 21. 【課題】可動メスの摩耗を防止する。それに加え、針棒と可動メスとの間の間隔が広い場合にも対応可能にしつつも針棒の押下部の突出長を短くする。【解決手段】可動メス２１と、可動メス２１から針棒８０側に離間する位置に交換可能に設けられて針棒８０の降下時に針棒８０の押下部８２に押し下げられる被押下部材２５と、被押下部材２５が押下部８２から受けた力を可動メス２１に伝達することで可動メス２１を駆動する動力伝達機構３０とを設ける。そして、該可動メス２１を駆動することでシークインテープＴの先端部からシークインＳを切り離す。【選択図】図３
