ABSTRACT:
A hollow bushing (22 or 54) that guides a presser bar (21) to move in a longitudinal direction is threaded at one end (29 and 30). The outer surface of that end is round and, below the thread (59), fits closely but rotatably in a channel (32) in the head (16) of a sewing machine. The bushing is not fixedly held in place in the channel (32). Instead, a tension spring (33) screwed onto the threaded end and onto a threaded member (37) attached to the end of the presser bar (21) within the head (16) pulls the presser bar downwardly so that its foot (24) normally presses against the work (46) and simultaneously pulls the bushing (22 or 54) toward the head (16). A shoulder surface (27 or 58) at a certain location on the bushing (22 or 54) acts as a stop to limit the extent that the cylinder can be drawn into the head. The spring (33) is fully screwed onto the threaded sleeves (30 and 36) until the ends of the spring butt against surfaces (34 and 40), eliminating operator-adjusted presser foot pressure and simiplying the presser foot pressure mechanism.
