GB 1.201 William Robert Lake
Sewing Machine
of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., patent agents, Southampton Buildings, London. A communication from William Gould Beckwith, of Newark, New Jersey, United States of America. Improvements in sewing machines.
This invention has for its object the production of a cheap and effective single thread sewing machine. Two levers are hinged together having arms, one of which carries the cloth plate and the other serving as the needle carrier. Another lever operates and forms part of the looper. A curved rod is secured to the upper lever working through a slot in the lower lever and operates the looper. A needle of a curvature greater than the arc described by the end of the needle arm is held in the end of the same in such a position that it performs the operations of feeding and sewing the cloth at the same time. The cloth plate is provided upon its underside with a block wedge shaped upon the end nearest the needle which forms a loop check to hold and properly distend the loop for the purpose of insuring the descent of the needle through the same. A clamp is provided with a thumbscrew for the purpose of securing it to the side of a table to hold the machine.
