Roller feed device for sewing machines

摘要

An improved feed device for sewing machines of the double feed roller type in which one of the rollers is intermittently rotated by a unidirectional clutch. A clamping unit functions in cooperation with the clutch to prevent a reverse movement of the feed roller, and a braking device operatively associated with the clutch and clamping unit is effective in a simultaneous positive locking of both of the latter each time the feed roller completes its limit of travel.
