A sewing machine with a pivotable stitch pattern table

摘要

A sewing machine has a front operating panel secured thereto and a pattern selecting device. A pivotable pattern table is mounted on the lower end of the operating panel and an inside surface of the pattern table has a pattern indicating device. The pattern table is rotatable from a closed position in which an outside surface is flush with the outside surface of the operating panel and into an open position in which its outside surface is resting on the sewing machine frame so that both the pattern indicating means and pattern selecting devices are simultaneously visible to a machine operator. The pattern table is pivotably supported on a shaft supported in a bearing located at the lower end of the operating panel.
