	Patent 4791874: Chain stitch machine
		Consequently, when the idle chain stitches sewed into the cloth are pulled for some reason after sewing has been completed, the idle chain stitch sequence T sewed into the hemstitch seam by being embraced between the lower cloth surface and the hemstitch sewing thread is pulled out of the foremost edge of the cloth.
		However, the idle chain stitch sequence T located to the left side of the needle location N is moved in the cloth feed direction while remaining in a skewed attitude, as shown by the double-dotted chain line, so that the idle chain stitch slips out of the hemstitch seam without being sewn into the seam.
		The proximate end of the idle chain stitch sequence is embraced by the upper surface of the needle plate 10 and the lower surface of the retainer 18 and the sequence T is shifted to the right in the drawing.
