Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to thread trimming devices for eyelet buttonhole machines. The invention comprises a thread trimming device having a snap action spring arm knife. As the thread hook positions the thread and gimp, a cam lifts up the end of the spring arm. The cam then releases the knife whose torque snaps down and cuts the thread and gimp against a second knife edge. The thread and gimp are also held together at this point for the next buttonhole by a thread retainer which is built into the knife.
