US 376.475 James G. Greene
Patent US 322.428, to Philip Diehl, dated July 21, 1885, shows and describes a button-hole-cutting mechanism in which the button-holes are cut by a striking cutter, which is caused to descend quickly and forcibly by the movement of a handle attached to a rock shaft connected with the cutting-lever. Such a cutting mechanism has, however, been found to be objectionable for the reason that the shock or jar of the striking cutter or cutting lever loosens the screws and other parts of the button-hole-stitching machine to which the cutter is attached and thereby impairs the efficiency of the machine, besides being destructive to the knife. The object of my invention is to obviate the objections to the button-hole-cutting mechanism above referred to, this object being attained by providing the lever which carries the cutter or cutting-block with a hand-lever which is arranged to impinge beneath the lower end of the head at the forward part of the bracket arm of the sewing machine in such a manner that the cutting-lever may be forced downward by the operator to cut the button-holes by a gradual but powerful pressure.

US 394.972 John Milton Griest
Ruffling Attachment for Sewing Machine
The object of my invention is to provide a sewing machine ruffler of simple construction, adapted to apply the power to the best possible advantage, so that there will be a strong leverage at the moment when the ruffling-blade is about completing its forward stroke to finish a gather and thereby cause as little drag as possible on the needle-bar and also to provide a simple and efficient ruffler, the parts of which are mostly behind the needle of the machine, so as to be out of the way of the operator as much as possible.
