ABSTRACT:
A thread cutting device for a lockstitch sewing machine having a rotary hook rotating in a horizontal plane, comprises a thread catcher which is pivotable in a horizontal plane and designed with a catch shoulder for needle and bobbin threads. The catcher cooperates with a stationary cutting tool as well as with a leaf spring which serves as a clamp for the end portion of the bobbin thread. The thread catcher is designed with a retaining shoulder by which the needle thread loop, upon being passed around the bobbin case, is caught and then released before being cut. The temporarily retained thread length substantially corresponds to the thread length which is pulled out sidewards while the thread catcher moves into its cutting position. Since no needle thread is thereby pulled off the thread supply by the thread catcher, only a minimum force is needed for moving the catcher.
