Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sewing machine includes a sewing machine motor, a control device and a wearable sensor. The sewing machine motor is a vertical movement driving source of a needle bar. The control device controls the sewing machine motor such that a sewing pitch is set to be a predetermined value. The wearable sensor is attached on a body of an operator of the sewing machine to detect a moving amount of an attached portion of the wearable sensor. The control device controls the sewing machine motor based on the moving amount of the attached portion detected by the wearable sensor such that the sewing pitch is set to be the predetermined value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sewing machine comprising: a sewing machine motor that is a vertical movement driving source of a needle bar; a control device that controls the sewing machine motor such that a sewing pitch is set to be a predetermined value; and a wearable sensor that includes a first sensor which detects an acceleration in a direction along a surface of a cloth or along a surface perpendicular to the cloth, and a second sensor which detects a physical amount which is different from the acceleration detected by the first sensor, wherein the control device controls the sewing machine motor based on detection of the first sensor such that the sewing pitch is set to be the predetermined value, and the control device performs a control stored in advance in the control device, based on detection of the second sensor. 2. The sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the wearable sensor includes an acceleration sensor. 3. The sewing machine according to claim 2 , wherein the wearable sensor includes an angular velocity sensor.
