The rotary sewing hooks mentioned under b. above are incorporat ed in
modern sewing machines in two varieties, known as:
a. The rotary hook with floating bobbin case. Th is type of sewing hook, as
the name
implies, features a bobbin case which floats in the hook bowl
and is kept from falling out by a retainer (Fig. 8).
b. The rotary hook with stationary bobbin case. The bobbin case of this type
hook features a ring-shaped flange which runs in an annular groove, or
raceway, cut into the hook bowl. It is held in place by a hook gib so that
it
cannot fall out while sewing. The bobbin case cap is pushed on the
center stud in the bobbin case base (Fig. 9) .
