ABSTRACT:

The sewing machine comprises a plurality of heads, having at least a needle bar and a thread take-up lever, arranged in a row; a plurality of shuttle holders corresponding to the number of heads, each supporting therein a shuttle, arranged in a row; a main shaft, penetrating the row of heads, which rotates to drive the needle bar and the thread take-up lever in each head; and a lower shaft, penetrating the row of shuttle holders, which rotates to drive the shuttle in each shuttle holder; wherein the sewing machine further comprises a drive shaft, extended parallel to the main shaft, which is rotationally driven by a drive motor, the rotational driving force of the drive shaft being adapted to be transmitted to the main shaft at more than one position.
