A slightly firmer pressure on the plate increases the speed of the sewing machine. <\/p>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-before-before\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_2_before_before\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-before\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_2_before\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad ads_common_inside_post\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-after\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_2_after\"><\/div>\n<p>Large garment makers currently use industrial sewing machines that are best operated using foot pedals. <\/p>\n<p>The foot pedal design and operating mechanism is not suitable for people with special needs, especially those with lower limb disabilities. &#8220;The team came up with a technical modification, trained and certified over 100 women on the modified sewing machine operation. A few women are already making a living using these machines,&#8221; said ChockoValliappa, Vice Chairman, Sona group of education institutions. <\/p>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-before-before\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_3_before_before\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-before\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_3_before\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad ads_common_inside_post\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_3\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hide inside-post-ad-after\" id=\"inside_post_content_ad_3_after\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited that the patent has been granted and sewing machine makers are discussing possible transfer of technology,&#8221;: he added in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>The modifications work on the principle of a load cell in a weighing machine where application of pressure converts into voltage for controlling motors. <\/p>\n<p>An uninitiated person needs three to four days of training on the machine that is suitable for work from home and helps them contribute financially to the family. According to Professor Dr D Raja, this is the third patent earned by the researchers in the department, while 12 more patent applications await final approval. The earlier two patents were for design and development of &#8220;frictionless ring and traveller combination in a ring frame&#8221; and &#8220;dynamic sweat transfer tester for multi weave fabric&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page-pager pagi_wrap undefined\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopad\">\n<div id=\"before_tags_mobile\" class=\"pd-15-mob editorial hocal_hide_on_desktop hide\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"before_tags_desktop\" class=\"pd-15-mob editorial hocal_hide_on_mobile hide\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div data-name=\"syncHtmlContent\" id=\"audio_player_desktop\" class=\" \">\n<div class=\"html_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"audio_wrap hide1\" style=\"width:1px !important;height:0px !important;overflow:hidden;position:relative;\">\n<div class=\"trinityAudioPlaceholder\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:100%;position:absolute;bottom: 0;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"news_buzz_updates\" class=\" hide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopad\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"comments pd-15-mob editorial hide-for-paytm\"><\/section>\n<div data-newsid=\"742700\" data-url=\"\/news\/cities\/bengaluru\/bengaluru-researchers-earn-patent-for-sewing-machine-for-disabled-742700\" data-title=\"Bengaluru: Researchers earn patent for sewing machine for disabled\" data-short-url=\"http:\/\/hans.plus\/n-742700\" data-twitter-handle=\"undefined\" class=\"track-on-infinite-scroll-view\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\">Adblock test<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Published at Sun, 15 May 2022 06:09:19 +0000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru: Researchers earn patent for sewing machine for disabled &#8211; The Hans India Bengaluru: Researchers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion-lifestyle-luxury"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techclot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1292180-sewing-machine-for-disabled.webp?fit=1200%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3orZX-1Ew","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techclot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
