DEFINITION

Classification: 112/470.01

Pattern controlled or programmed:

(under subclass 2) Device including a control system having program storing means either (a) to produce a series of stitches along a predetermined path, or (b) to control an ancillary operation of the machine.

(1) Note. An example of an ancillary operation includes a machine generated audio voice command, a pattern learning system, etc.

(2) Note. The program storing means can be either a mechanical device or an electrical device.

80.23+, for an embroidery-type tufting device responsive to an optical, electronic or magnetic pattern program means.

102.5, for a vertically reciprocating needle-type fabric shifting embroidery machine have an electronic pattern or program control system.

445+, for a vibrating needle-type zigzag stitch forming mechanism having an electronic memory and an indicator.

447, for a vibrating needle-type zigzag stitch forming mechanism for sewing a closed pattern (e.g. buttonhole, etc.) having electronic memory. 453+, for a vibrating needle-type zigzag stitch forming mechanism having electronic memory, especially subclass 458 wherein the device includes pattern selection means through which an operator can select one pattern from a plurality of patterns.
