Claim:
A sewing device for sewing together a first base material and a second base material in a predetermined sewing direction along aligned two ends respectively of said first and second base materials, while simultaneously sewing a first strip of sealing material and a second strip of sealing material with the respective said first and second base materials, said sewing device comprising: a sewing needle; a presser foot disposed below said sewing needle, said presser foot having: a forward portion facing to a side forwardly of the sewing device; a backward portion facing to a side backwardly of the sewing device; and a needle hole for allowing said sewing needle to be moved vertically therethrough; a feed dog member disposed below said presser foot, said feed dog member having: an upper side facing to said presser foot, a lower side opposite to said upper side; a forward portion facing to a side forwardly of the sewing device; and a backward portion facing to a side backwardly of the sewing device; said presser foot having: an upper side facing to said sewing needle; and a bottom side facing to said upper side of said feed dog member; a space defined between said bottom side of said presser foot and said upper side of said feed dog member, through which space, said first and second base materials are to be fed by said presser foot and said feed dog member in said predetermined sewing direction, a first guide through-hole formed in said presser foot at a point adjacent to said hole, said first guide through-bole being adapted for allowing said first strip of sealing material to pass therethrough in such a manner that one portion of said first strip of sealing material, which extends into said first guide through-hole from a side facing to said forward portion of the presser foot, is positioned above said upper side of said particular presser foot, while another portion of said first strip of sealing material, which is opposite to said one portion of the firs strip of sealing material and extends from said first guide through-hole toward a side facing to said backward portion of the presser foot, is positioned below said bottom side of said particular presser foot; and a second guide through-hole formed in said feed dog member at a point adjacent to said hole, said second guide through-hole being adapted to allow said second strip of sealing material to pass therethrough in such a manner that one portion of the second strip of sealing material, which extends into said second guide through-hole from a side facing to said forward portion of the feed dog member, is positioned below said lower side of said feed dog member, while another portion of said second strip of sealing material, which is opposite to said one portion of the second strip of sealing material and extends from said second guide through-hole toward a side facing to said backward portion of the feed dog member, is positioned above said upper side of said particular feed dog member.
