GB 1.351 George R. Chittenden

Sewing Machine

A communication. Improvements in sewing machines. One improvement is the addition of an instrument for folding bindings for the edges of hats and other articles and for holding such bindings correctly during the action of the sewing machine. The instrument consists of two bent plates with a space between them for the passage of the binding, which is caused to lap more or less on one side than the other, or is folded equally on either side of the edge of the article to be bound by means of adjusting slides which control the binding and guide it up to the point where the sewing is accomplished. The slides have flexible edges of leather or other suitable material; they are each governed by two parallel links which are pin jointed to their respective slides and to the bent plates. As the edge of the article is introduced into the space between the plates, the binding fabric will be folded over the edge and at the point where the needle passes through the edge; the binding will be held correctly for the passage of the needle; and as the edge is moved up to the point, it will draw with it the binding fabric, which will be progressively folded. Another improvement relates to an apparatus for holding and regulating the letting off of thread. The thread is caused to pass between two surfaces, one of which is pressed to the other by a spring in such manner that the thread only passes when the pressing surfaces are separated. The separation is caused by the action of the apparatus which gives motion to the needle, so that for each action of the needle a quantity of the thread is allowed to pass.
