I’ve not ever heard them called a kick foot, but early alternating presser foot machines similar to the one listed were sometimes called “Jump Foot” feed machines. Instead of having the alternating inner and outer feet movement ran by gears, some of the old ones had a spring return system on one foot.

I stand corrected, and am just fine with that. Go figure, I was wrong again. Happens to me a lot. Lol!
