  • the pulse motor 57 is operated so that the loop presser 52 is moved downward to press and hold the end b 1 of the belt loop B which is folded back and the cloth.
  • the air cylinder 40 does not act so that the fork unit 38 is returned and moved backward to an initial position.
  • the cloth feeding table 59 is moved by means of the X-axis motor 53 and the Y-axis motor 54 for the cloth, and furthermore, the driving source of the sewing machine body is subjected to an operation control so that the seam L1 having a predetermined number of stitches is formed and the end b1 of the belt loop B is thus sewn onto the cloth.
  • the loop clamp 31 interposing the belt loop B is moved by a predetermined amount in such a direction that the end b1 is protruded and the direction of the belt loop B is regulated, and the end b1 of the belt loop B is folded back by the fork unit 38. Consequently, it is possible to fold the end b 1 of the belt loop B without the protrusion from the central side of the belt loop B.
  • step S201 to step S210 it is also possible to advance the step through the switch manipulation by the operator without automatically executing the operation steps (step S201 to step S210).
  • the seam L1 on the end side is formed and the end b1 is sewn onto the bodice cloth, and then, the loop clamp 31 once releases the belt loop B and is moved in the Y direction, and the other end of the belt loop B is interposed. Accordingly, the seam L1 serves as the loop holding pawl 66 in the fold-back of the one end side.
  • the fork unit 38 is moved forward and stands by between the loop clamp 31 and the seam L1 in a state in which the belt loop B is inserted into the fork portion on the tip (see Fig. 7A ).
  • the operator of the sewing machine previously selects a validity or an invalidity of the operation for regulating the other end or inputs and sets various parameters (data) for regulating the orientation and arrangement of the belt loop B in various data setting steps in the same manner as in the operation for regulating the end b1.
  • the loop clamp 31 interposing the belt loop B is moved leftward by 2 mm to regulate the orientation of the belt loop B in a state in which the end side of the belt loop B is fixedly sewn onto the cloth ( Fig. 7B ).
  • the rotary actuator 41 is then rotated in a reverse direction to reversely rotate the fork unit 38. Consequently, the other end b2 of the belt loop B is pulled out of the loop clamp 31 and the end b2 on the other end side of the belt loop B is folded back toward the end side of the belt loop B, and the other end b2 of the belt loop B is folded downward from the central side of the belt loop B as shown in Fig. 7C .
  • the loop presser 52 is moved downward onto the portion thus obtained by folding the other end b2 back so that the other end b2 of the belt loop B which is folded back and the cloth are pressed and held. Moreover, the fork unit 38 is moved backward and the other end b2 is then pulled out of the belt loop B, and thereafter, each portion of the sewing machine is subjected to an operation control so that the seam L2 is sewn and the other end b2 of the belt loop B is sewn onto the cloth.
  • the loop clamp 31 interposing the belt loop B is moved by a predetermined amount in a reverse direction to the protrusion assuming direction of the other end b1 to regulate the orientation of the belt loop B, and the other end b2 of the belt loop B is then folded back by the fork unit 38. Consequently, the other end b2 of the belt loop B can be folded back without the protrusion from the central side of the belt loop B.
  • the fork unit 38 is rotated to fold the other end b2 of the belt loop B back toward the central side of the belt loop B without the execution of the loop clamp moving control.
  • the other end b2 of the belt loop B which is folded back is protruded from the central side toward the left side, however, it is sufficient to execute the control for moving the loop clamp 31 rightward.
  • the invention is not restricted to the embodiment.
  • the arrangement of the end of the belt loop B dragged to follow the movement of the fork unit 38 is shifted so that the end is protruded from the central side of the belt loop B.
  • a control for previously moving the loop clamp 31 rightward in the drawing is executed corresponding to the protrusion of the end b 1 of the belt loop B due to the dragging against the assumption that the end b 1 is dragged by the fork unit 38 moved backward in the X-axis direction, that is, toward the right side in the drawing and is thus protruded from the belt loop B rightward in the drawing.
  • a control for previously moving the loop clamp 31 leftward in the drawing is executed corresponding to the protrusion of the other end b2 of the belt loop B due to the dragging against the assumption that the other end b2 is dragged by the fork unit 38 moved backward in the X-axis direction, that is, toward the right side in the drawing and is thus protruded from the belt loop B rightward in the drawing.
  • the corrected parameter may be an optional value depending on a shift amount of the end dragged by the movement of the fork unit 38, for example, represents a value decided by the operator as to whether the raw material of the belt loop B easily follows the movement of the fork unit 38 or a value for correcting the shift after actual dragging.
  • a corrected parameter is "zero" when the end of the belt loop B follows the movement of the fork unit 38 with difficulty and is not dragged.
  • the belt loop feeding apparatus 100 includes the loop holding pawl 66 and a loop pull-in portion 60b as the holding unit.
  • any holding unit (the loop holding pawl 66, the loop pull-in portion 60b) is not provided on the belt loop feeding apparatus 100.
  • the holding unit (the loop holding pawl 66, the loop pull-in portion 60b) on the belt loop feeding apparatus 100 of the present invention.
