Abstract

A presser foot of a sewing machine includes: a presser main body that presses a cloth; a guide base provided to the presser main body so as to form a single unit, and configured to guide a ribbon to be sewn to the cloth; a right guide and a left guide configured as members that are provided such that they can be relatively moved with respect to the guide base, that guide a position of the ribbon in the width direction, and that are arranged symmetrically with a position at which a sewing needle moves in a vertical direction as a base position; and an adjustment screw, a right guide bush, and a left guide bush, configured as a linking portion that links the movements of the right guide and the left guide such that they are positioned symmetrically with respect to the base position at all times.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A presser foot for a sewing machine comprising:
a presser main body that presses a sewing target object;
a guide base provided to the presser main body so as to form a single unit, and configured to guide a band-shaped member to be sewn to the sewing target object;
guide members configured as a pair of members that are provided such that they can be relatively moved with respect to the guide base, that guide a position of the band-shaped member in a width direction, and that are arranged symmetrically with a position at which a sewing needle moves in a vertical direction as a base position; and
a linking portion that links movements of the guide members such that a distance between the guide members is increased or reduced while the guide members are maintained to be positioned symmetrical to each other with respect to the base position.

2. The presser foot for a sewing machine according to claim 1 , wherein the linking portion comprises:
a male screw member configured such that a right male screw is formed in one end thereof, and such that a left male screw is formed in the other end thereof;
a right female screw provided to one of the guide members, and configured to be joined to the right male screw; and
a left female screw provided to the other one of the guide members, and configured to be joined to the left male screw.

3. The presser foot for a sewing machine according to claim 2 ,
wherein the right female screw and the left female screw are each configured as a component separate from the guide members, as a separate female screw member,
