Further, a thread guide section 15 for guiding the thread to the locking section 12 of the thread take-up lever 9 is provided on one side of the adjustment member 19 rotatably attached to the thread tension shaft 21, so that the thread guide section 15 is connected to the thread take-up lever 9.
Since the thread guide section 1 can be moved substantially along the reciprocating direction A of the thread guide section 1, the tension or slack of the thread can be adjusted according to the material and thickness of the cloth, leather, etc.
To move the adjusting member 19 to the position 5, move the adjusting member 19 to the thread tension shaft 21.
All you have to do is rotate using it as a fulcrum.

Moreover, since the adjustment member 19 is rotatably supported only by the thread tension shaft 21, the rotation of the adjustment member 190 is as follows.
It can be easily done with one touch without using any tools such as a screwdriver.

このため、糸の張りあるいはたるみの調節が、適時、例
えば運針中でも、短時間で容易に行える。
Therefore, the tension or slack of the thread can be easily adjusted in a short period of time, for example, while the needle is moving.

さらに指示部23と目盛板24を設けたので、その再現

Further, the adjusting member 19 is attached to a thread tension shaft 21 on which the thread tension 20 is disposed between the thread guide section 15 on one side and the thread hole 16 on the other side that guides the thread to the thread guide section 15. Because of the fitting structure, even if the thread guide section 15 is moved by a desired angle in order to adjust the tension or slack of the thread, the thread hole 16 will also move by the same angle around the thread tension 20.

このため糸調子20に掛ける糸の距離は変化せず、従っ
て、糸案内部15を移動して糸の張り、たるみを調節し
ても、糸調子21によって与えられる糸のテンションは
