At the

all

lock-stitch

machines,

regardless

what

shuttle

systems

they

may

have,

the

upper

thread

has to

form

the

loop

explained

detail

below.

When

threaded

needle

pierces

the

material,

the

thread

will

slip

into

the

two

grooves

the needle,

order

thus

offer

the least

resistance

when

passing

through

the

material.

However,

this

resistance

increases

the

side

the

short

groove,

the

latter

disappears

the

materi

al,

because

the

thread

now no

longer

the

groove

but

jammed

between

the

body

the

needle

and

the

material.

Thus the

thread

remains

stretched,

until

the

needle

reaches

its

lowest

point

(Fig.

6>.

When

the needle

starts

moving

upwards

again,

the

thread

the

long

groove

(F)

can

slide

without

difficulty

tween

the needle

and

the

material

(Fig.

the

short-grooved

side

(E)

the

thread

jammed,

can

not

slide

along

with

the

needle

and,

therefore,

forms

small

loop

the

same

side.

Fig.

Now

the

different

shuttle

systems

come

into

play.

They

all

have

the

same

task,

which

pass

the

bobbin

with

the

lower

thread

through

the

loop.

This

what

called
