Patent ID: 7647877

Claim:
A thread take-up lever for a sewing machine, comprising: a thread-receiving portion being disposed on a front end of a thread take-up lever for receiving a thread, the thread-receiving portion having an open recess, an elastic thread-stopping member being disposed at the open recess; and the thread-stopping member being provided with a stopping portion extending from a fixing end of the thread-stopping member to close a top side of the open recess, the stopping portion extending from an outside to an inside of the open recess; wherein one end of the stopping portion of the thread-stopping member is formed with an elastic free end which abuts against an inner periphery of the open recess of the thread-receiving portion, so that the free end is only allowed to move into the thread-receiving portion without moving out of the open recess in such a manner that when a thread enters the thread-receiving portion from the outside of the open recess of the thread-receiving portion, the thread can push away the free end to enter the thread-receiving portion, and then the free end will automatically return to its original position immediately to abut against the open recess again, so that the stopping portion of the thread-stopping member can indeed close the open recess, and the thread is not allowed to slide off the thread-receiving portion.
