cam follower from the zig zag cam the link 7 may be connected to any known mechanism for retracting a zig zag cam follower from contact with the periphery of the pattern cam the feed releasing lever regulating plate 17 which is at its one end pivoted on the stud 18 is connected to the link 14 which extends to be connected to the link 9 also the feed releasing lever 19 is connected to the feed releasing lever regulating plate 17 by a screw 19 39 consequently when the solenoid crank 3 is rotated in the x direction the feed releasing lever 19 integrally constructed with the feed releasing lever regulating plate 17 will rotate about the stud 18 by way of the link 9 and 14 in the y3 direction thereby moving the feed follower away from the periphery of the feed cam the lever 19 may be connected to any known mechanism for retracting a feed cam follower from contact with the periphery of the pattern cam the needle position releasing cam 20 is integrally constructed with the kick out locking plate 12 and rotatably mounted on the stud 11 consequently as the kick out locking plate 12 rotates in the y1 direction the needle position releasing cam 20 will also rotate in unison with the kick out locking plate 12 furthermore the end 22 39 of the needle position releasing lever 22 having its fulcrum on the stud 21 presses against the cam 20 by virtue of a spring 23 consequently as the end 22 39 climbs up the inclined ramp portion of the cam 20 the opposite end of the needle.
