| Abstract |
An illustrated description of 2 devices to guard against the needle penetrating the operator's fingers; one designed and developed by the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) and the other by a French garment manufacturing company. Both consist of a finger guard which is separate from the needle arm and foot and is therefore operative even when the foot is raised. The second device has proved its effectiveness in actual shop conditions, and is being gradually mounted on the 170 sewing machines in the company's machine stitching shop. |
