(1) The mechanism and the name of each component of the thread trimmer
As shown in the figure below, when the button clamp lifting lever is actuated at the final stitch, the
thread trimming connecting link (rear) moves forward, causing the thread separating claw of the moving
knife to separate thread before it is trimmed by the knife.
Unlike MB-372, the stop-motion timing is delayed so that thread is trimmed after a stitch is tightened by
the thread take-up lever, eliminating the possibility of broken stitches.
