ABSTRACT:
A sewing machine for making ruffles and a ruffler attachment comprises a base, an upstanding standard mounted on the base, an overhanging arm mounted at one end thereof on the upper end of the standard, a head carried by the other end of the arm and including a reciprocating needle bar and a presser foot, feed means are carried by the base beneath the presser foot and cooperating therewith to feed the material being sewn, and drive means for the needle bar and the feed means. A ruffling mechanism comprises an auxiliary shaft having its opposite ends journaled in the standard and the head for oscillatory movement and disposed in parallel relation to the overhanging arm. An elongate member is mounted at the end of the auxiliary shaft adjacent the head for movement with the auxiliary shaft and extends downwardly and outwardly therefrom to its outer end which is disposed in front of the presser foot. A ruffler blade is carried by the other end of the elongate member and extends rearwardly therefrom toward the presser foot and is adapted to engage the material being sewn and to push the material toward the presser foot upon oscillatory movement of the shaft and the elongate member in one direction to form ruffles therein and to retract forwardly upon oscillatory movement of the auxiliary shaft and elongate member in the other direction. Apparatus is also provided for connecting the shaft to the drive means for the needle bar for oscillating the shaft in timed relation to the reciprocation of the needle bar.
