Inventor of the sewing machine?

Whilst there have been many variations of the sewing machine through the years, credit is generally given to Elias Howe. Elias Howe was employed in a machinist's shop, where he had the opportunity to experiment with inventing a sewing machine. He successfully demonstrated his first sewing machine in 1846, and patented his lockstitch sewing machine on 10 September 1846 in New Hartford, Connecticut. Howe faced a legal battle after Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism, and Allen Wilson developed a rotary hook shuttle, both filing for patents. After winning one suit, the three inventors pooled their patent rights in the Sewing Machine Combination. It was under this patent that the sewing machine was then successfully marketed.

Describe the stitching mechanism in a sewing machine?

Sewing machines use two spools of thread, unlike hand sewing, which uses one fixed-length piece. You can emulate the machine-stitching process by hand. Imagine you have a needle through which the thread from a large spool is threaded and a second, smaller spool of thread. Push the needle eye-end first through the fabric from above. Pull the loop of thread on the back side bigger, until you can pass the little spool through the loop. Now, from above pull the top thread tight to close the loop back up again. That is all a sewing machine does. The arm at the front that moves up and down a lot supplies the slack to make the bottom loop big enough, and then moves back up to take up all the slack, and to pull a tiny bit more thread off of the top spool through the tensioning mechanism. The hard-to-visualise bit is at the bottom, where the bottom spool is passed through the loop. The key to understanding it is that the spool and whatever carrier it is in "floats" in a space rather than actually being fastened to the rest of the mechanism. There is a gap round it on all sides (though sometimes an oddly shaped one) which allows the loop of top-thread to pass all the way round it. Typically a hook of some sort grabs the top-loop near the needle eye, and pulls the loop bigger while passing that loop round the outside of the bottom spool assembly. If you operate the machine by hand with the covers off you should be able to see this happening.


How do you start sewing from a sewing machine?

Every sewing machine is a little different, so be sure to read your manual. You want to make sure that the machine is threaded correctly from the top (through the mechanisms and through the needle) and the bottom (called the bobbin.) Most sewing machines have a foot pedal, which you step on as you position the fabric to pass under the needle.

Why does your fax machine place a center line through your paper when receiving faxes?

either because it has dust or a problem somewhere on the printing mechanism, or because the person who sent it to you has a similar problem with their fax machine's imaging mechanism.


Are resistance bands considered isokinetic equipment?

I have never seen them called that but the mechanism is similar if the exercise is of an ascending strength curve. I have never seen them called that but the mechanism is similar if the exercise is of an ascending strength curve. No they are not isokinetic as the bands give linear altering resistance through range. An isokinetics machine alters it's resistance in relation to the torque level it receives in real time. In essence an isokinetics machine gives less resistance as you get tired. Bands can not do this
