The lower member consists merely of a plate 1 which is raised above the work plate to lift the work away from the ordinary feed-dogs. The clamp member 24 slides on a plate 17 above the plate 4 and carries a box 26 in which a triangular cam is rotated to reciprocate the clamp. The cam is actuated by a ratchet-wheel 35 and a pawl 34 which is reciprocated by -a pin 30 on the needle-bar. The plate 17 is moved longitudinally to feed the work by a slotted lever 16, pivoted on the plate 4, which engages a pin 21 on the plate. The plate is guided by pins 20 which pass through slots 18 in the plate. The pins 20 are carried by levers 11 linked together by a bar 9. When the levers 11 are actuated, the clamp is moved laterally for barring stitches or for' changing the stitching from one side to the other. The length of the button-hole is regulated by stop pin 41 and the length of the barring stitches is regulated by a stop in the path of the lever 11. The length of the ordinary stitches can be varied by slightly rotating the triangular cam.

Title: Improved Method of Producing Cellulose Threads.
Filed: 1906-07-03
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 15,133. Thiele, E., and Soc. GÚnÚrale de la Soie Artificielle Linkmeyer Soc. Anon. July 3. Cellulose filaments are produced by causing a concentrated solution of cellulose in cuprammoniu m to pass through wide apertures into a slowly-acting precipitant, such as a liquid of an acid, neutral, or slightly alkaline nature, and subsequently stretching the threads so formed. For example, a concentrated solution of cellulose in ammoniacal copper solution is squ rted into pure water, or water mixed with a small proportion of acid or alkali. The threads so formed are stretched or drawn out by being wound on a roll or by being dropped through a suitable depth of precipitation-liquid. The threads are then drawn through an alkaline bath, e.g. cold caustic soda, and are finally treated with acid. Specifications No. 8083, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Spinning], and No. 1501, A.D. 1905, are referred to.

Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 23,220. Werle, G. Oct. 19. Packeting.-Relates to a machine for sealing or closing filled paper bags having flat bottoms. The bag to be operated upon is placed on the horizontally - sliding carriage 65, Fig. 1, having a vertical wall 64 which pushes the bag into its correct position against the wall 63, Figs. 1 and 3, fixed upon the verticallysliding table 3. The table 3 then rises and the creasing - plate 60 moves until it rests upon the material in the bag, in the manner shown in Fig. 4. The creasing- plate 60 is oscillated about the centre 55 by the rod 57, and is reciprocated vertically by the sliding rod 52. The first flap of the bag is folded over the creasing-plate 60 by the folder 35, Figs. 3 and 4, mounted on a carriage sliding on the rod 25, Fig. 1. The creasing-plate 60 then retires. The second flap of the bag is turned in by the folder 36 mounted on a carriage sliding on the rod 24. A sharp crease for the second fold is ensured by causing the edge of the folder 36 to slide for a short distance over the front edge of the slide 35, which during this operation assumes the position shown in Fig. 5. The inner surfaces of the two remaining upstanding flaps are coated with adhesive. by the sides of folder 36. These sides are hinged at 37, 38, Fig. 8, and receive the adhesive from two dabbers such as 44, which are raised from the tank 41 at the same time as the sides of the folder are turned down by the cam-operated rod 46 acting on the arms 40. The final folds are formed by a pair of pivoted folders 10, 11, Figs. 1 and 7. When the folding - operation is completed, the table 3 falls and the carriage 65 removes the bag from the machine.
