Skipped-stitch mechanism on a sewing machine

摘要

The present invention is directed to a skipped-stitch mechanism on a sewing machine having a needle bar oscillating in a longitudinal direction, a control device for producing lateral swing-out motions of the needle bar in order to make different zigzag stitches, and a coupling device coacting with the needle bar and operated by a second control device so as to intermittently separate the needle bar from its driving member under the control of a program device in order to skip the stitching.
