COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hemstitching Attachments for Sewing Machines.
I, MARY ELIZABETH HALL, residing at 47 Bellevue Street Longwood in the
City of Boston, County of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, United States of
America, Married Woman do hereby declare the nature of the invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to adapt a sewing machine for hemstitching
fabrics, leather, etc., that is, for securing, in the making, by the machine, of each
ordinary stitch, additional and loose lengths of the needle thread, whereby on
opening or laying out the so stitched goods, all of said additional lengths of needle
thread with the ordinary stitches accompanying them, are hemstitches, that is, they
are, in effect and appearance, the same as if a woven fabric had had a certain
number of the contiguous lengths of its threads running in one direction withdrawn,
and then had had the lengths of its threads running in the other direction and
exposed by said withdrawal of threads, caught together, and open spaces left
between the groups, all in accordance with the common and established definition
of hemstitches.
. To the end stated, this invention consists, in substance, of an attachment for a
sewing machine, composed of a head or block, which is suitable to be located
between the presser-foot and cloth-plate or table of the machine, and is adapted, so
located, to be held and to permit the goods, which are to be hemstitched, to be
disposed in layers under and above and in that position to be fed forward and
hemstitched as above stated, and of a feed-dog, suitable for feeding goods in a
sewing machine, and it and said block relatively adapted for said feed-dog to be
moved to and fro on said block, in one direction,-(to feed the goods)-by the
action thereon of the feed-dog of the sewing machine, and in the other direction,-
(to place it in position to again feed the goods),-by the reaction of a spring, or
other resilient device suitably applied therefor, and all otherwise substantially as
hereinafter described, and whereby the goods are hemstitched, and the upper and
under layers of goods are conjointly fed to the stitching mechanism of the machine,
and allowed to pass from said head or block.
In addition to the above, the invention consists of means adapted to detachably
attach said head or block to the cloth-plate, or other suitable stationary part of the
sewing machine; again, of means adapted to hold, with an elastic or resilient
pressure, said head or block in position in the machine as aforesaid; again of
constructions and arrangements, in detail, of said head or block and of its said feed-
dog and of other appurtenances and appliances, all substantially as hereinafter
described.

In the drawings, A is the head or block and B is the feed-dog or device, together
constituting the attachment of this invention for securing, in co-operation with the
ordinary and usual stitch forming and feed devices of a sewing machine, the hem-
stitching of goods as hereinbefore stated.
The head or block A is flat and of rectangular outline and of a thickness,
preferably, substantially equal to the length of the hemstitch desired to be produced
in goods being sewed in a sewing machine to which said block is applied as herein-
after appears. The block A has a flat arm-extension C, preferably of spring.
sheet metal, by which to secure it in position in a sewing machine as hereinafter
stated. This arm C leads off from the edge a and its upper face is flush with the
upper face 6 of the block A and, intermediately of its length, it has a downward
bend or offset C, slightly greater in height than the thickness of said block, and it
thence continues in a flat portion C³, with side-wings C, each having a leg (³ of
book shape, and suitable to engage the corresponding edge of a cloth-plate D of a
sewing machine, for instance, the well known Wilcox and Gibbs, and so engaged to
have the flat portion C³ of the arm-extension C, in contact with the upper surface
of said cloth-plate, and the block A under and lengthwise of the presser-foot D'
and between it and said cloth-plate, and the whole in position to be rigidly secured
to said cloth-plate, as for illustration, Figures 1 and 8, by means of a thumb-
screw E, that passes by its screw-threaded shank loosely through a hole C of said
flat-portion C and screws into a screw-threaded hole of said cloth-plate preferably,"
the hole usually found therein for securing other and well known attachments
for sewing machines.
The block A has a rectangular opening A³ through its thickness. A³, A' is a
fixed bridge or bar centrally and lengthwise of said opening A². The end-
portion A of this bridge, the portion front of the sewing-machine needle F, (shown
only in part), when the block is in the position stated, has its upper face below and
the end-portion A* then back of and about the pathway of the needle has its upper
face flush with the upper face of the block, and at the juncture of these end-portions
is a vertical abutment or stop face A. The under face of the bridge, preferably,
is above the plane of the under face of the block. d, is a vertical hole, through
the flush portion A* of the bridge A, A of the block, and it is in position for the
passage of the needle F therethrough, when the block is in the position stated and
e is a way or throat through said flush portion and in communication with the needle-
hole d and open to the outside of the end of the block back of the needle. This
throat is in the line of travel of the stitches as they are made by the stitch forming
devices of the sewing machine. The block A, at both ends, front and back, of the
needle hole d, is rounded off at its under corners or edges f, f' respectively.
The feed-dog, or device B, is of rectangular shape in outline, and shorter in
length than the length of the rectangular opening A' in the block A and it is
adapted, by its portion B2 in front of the needle-hole d, to loosely straddle the front
portion A of the bridge A', A* of said block and to comparatively loosely fill its
opening at its said portion A³ and, by its tine or leg-portions B³, to comparatively
loosely fill the opening of the block at each side of the flush portion A* of its bridge,
and otherwise located in said opening as described and in its normal position to
have its end-portion front of the needle, against the corresponding end of the
opening and off from the stop or abutment face A' of the bridge of the block

page_text: and also to have the ends of its tines or legs, off from the end of said opening rear
of the needle to a distance at least equal to the full length of the to and fro
movement which it is desired the feed-dog shall have on the block, and as will
hereinafter appear.
Both the under and upper sides or faces of the feed-dog B are exposed at the
corresponding sides of the block A and each exposed face, preferably, is roughened
or indented, as for illustration, by parallel transverse serrations h, in the form of
ratchet teeth, with their inclined faces at the under and upper sides of the
feed-dog presented in opposite directions. These serrations of the feed-dog,
Figures 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24, embrace the full length of the upper side
of each tine B³ of the dog, and also a portion of the length of the dog just in front
of the needle-hole d of the block A, shown, Figure 12, as in the feed-dog and not ·
in the block A as has been before explained.
Again the serrations of the feed-dog B, Figures 5 and 7, embrace only the length
of the under side of the feed-dog, beginning at or near the needle hole d and ending
at or near the end of the portion of the feed-dog which is front of the needle, and
the balance k of the under side of the feed-dog is smooth. In the normal position
of the feed-dog B of the attachment, that is, with its end-portion front of the
needle at rest against the corresponding end of the opening A³ in the block A, and
in the normal position of the under feed-dog G, G-(shown only in part, Figures 5
and 7) of the machine, said smooth portion k of the feed-dog B is over the cross
serrations of the portion G of said under feed-dog at the rear of the needle and
said cross serrations of the under side of said feed-dog B are then over the cross
serrations of the portion G2 of said under feed-dog at the front of the needle.
This under feed-dog G, G' is shown in full, Figure 3, and it and its arrangement
and mechanism for operating it are all as well known, for illustration, as in the
sewing machine, known as the Wilcox and Gibbs, and as they constitute no part of
this invention, it is not deemed necessary to particularly show or describe them.
The serrations of the under feed-dog G, G', are presented in proper directions, to
secure, by the forward movement, or in other words, the movement of the dog
toward the needle as well known, the feed of a layer of goods H, Figures 1 and 4,
located on the cloth-plate or table D of the machine, and under the block of the
attachment of this invention. In addition to and simultaneously with this feed of
the under goods H, a layer of goods J on the upper side of the block A and under
the presser-foot D' is also fed, and this feed, of said upper goods, is because
of the then movement of the feed-dog B of the attachment, produced by the
action of the under feed-dog G, G* of the machine, both on the under goods at
their portion lying between the smooth under side of said feed-dog B, and at their
portion lying between the serrations of the under side of said feed-dog B and the
serrations of said under feed-dog G, G. In the feed of the upper and under
layers of the goods as just described, the serrations of both of said dogs are as
before explained in the directions most proper and suitable therefor.
On the completion of said feed of the goods, H, J, the under feed-dog G, G'
moves down and out of contact with the under layer of the goods and it and the
feed-dog B of the attachment then return to position for again feeding the goods as
before, and so on. The return of the feed-dog B is secured by the reaction of a
bow-shape spring K that, at one and its free end, is engaged with said feed-dog B,
and at its other end is made fast at the under side of the arm-extension C of the
block A and for its movement passes loosely through a suitable slot A of said block A.
With the feed of upper and lower goods H, J, all as stated, obviously on the
making of and at each stitch, there is loose needle thread extending between the
two layers of goods which, in length, is substantially equal to the extent of
separation of the layers produced by the thickness of the attachment described,
that is, either of its block A or its feed-dog B, according as one or the other is
the thicker. Each stitch and its loose thread as the stitch is made, passes from the
needle hole d into and through the throat e of the attachment and out at the outer
open end of said throat.

On removal of stitched goods as aforesaid from the machine and on spreading or
opening them out in opposite directions, hemstitching, such as herein before referred
to as the object of this invention to secure using a sewing machine, then will appear
in a row L, Figures 1 and 4, and connecting two layers M and N of goods together,.
and which goods, when sewed in the machine to produce said row of hemstitches,
had the layer M under the block A of the attachment and on the cloth-plate of
the machine the same as the layer H is now shown, Figures 1 and 4, but which
layer H, when making the hemstitches of row L, was on the block A of the
attachment and under the presser-foot, where now placed the layer J to be
stitched to the layer H, as said layer H was stitched to said layer M and a row of
hemstitches produced, all as before explained. Both layers H and J of goods are
shown, Figure 1, as broken out to expose the attachment and again stitched
hems N and O as well known are shown, one at each side of the row L of
.hemstitches.
The extension-arm C of the attachment and its downward offset or bend Cas
explained, furnishes an obstructed open space C to receive a length of the under
layer of the goods to be stitched to the extent of the distance of said offset from
the pathway of the needle of the machine, and the attachment otherwise presents
no practical obstruction to the presentation and disposition of either the under or
upper layers H, J of goods, all as is obvious without further explanation.
As before stated, the arm-extension C of the block A of the attachment, is
preferably made of spring metal as thereby while said block can be firmly secured
to the machine, it has more or less elasticity or spring in a vertical direction, and
so it possesses an automatic adjustability to the upward and downward pressure
thereon of the presser-foot and feed-dog of the machine. This adaptability of the
arm-extension C however can be dispensed with and the arm be rigid or firm.
If the arm-extension C of the block A of the attachment is elastic or springy
as stated, then it is well to adapt it to be positively actuated in a manner to
regulate or control or wholly offset its elasticity. This may be accomplished in
various ways and three are illustrated, to be now described.
P, Figures 20 and 21, is an arm, extending over and lying on the upper side of
the arm-extension C of the attachment and at its end toward and near the block A
of the attachment it is secured and is fulcrumed, by a rivetted pin P³, on said arm-
extension. The arm P has a pin P' for its bearing on a raised cam-flange C³ of
the flat portion C³ of the arm-extension C. This pin P', preferably, is screw-
threaded and is applied to be screwed in and out, all so that by swinging the arm P,
on its fulcrum-pin, in one direction and by the then co-operative action of its pin P
and of the cam C8 of the plate C³, the block A, according to the direction in which
said arm is swung, will be placed either in close and more or less rigid bearing on,
or allowed to rise from the cloth-plate or table D of the machine, and in either
case, be elastic or springy, but varying in degree and controlled or regulated to a
greater or less extent as to whether the arm P is resilient as stated, or is rigid or
inflexible, and again according as to how said pin P' is adjusted as to its bearing
on said cam-edge C³.
m, m Figure 21, are vertical faces one at each end of the cam C8 and in
co-operation with the bearing-pin P' of the arm P, they control or limit the swing
of said arm in its opposite directions.
In Figures 1, 8 and 9 the arm P is shown as passing through a horizontal slot P
of the offset C2 of the arm-extension C of the attachment and thence continued
with an upward bend P4, in turn continued with a downward and under bend P³
ending over the cam-flange C8, before referred to, of the flat portion C³ of said arm-
extension C, and carrying a screw-pin the same as the screw-pin P', Figures 20
and 21, and so lettered, for bearing on said cam-edge. The use and work of the
arm P and arm-extension C, cam C8, and screw-pin P', all constructed and arranged
as just above explained, and shown, Figures 1, 8 and 9, are substantially the same
as the corresponding parts, Figures 20 and 21.
In Figure 22 the regulation of the pressure of the block A. of the attachment,

page_text: heretofore explained, is secured by means of the pressure which is brought to bear
on the arm-extension C of the block, from the turning of a headed screw-pin P,
that passes loose through a hole of and by its head has a rest on said extension
and screws into the cloth-plate or table D.
This view, Figure 22, shows the securing of the attachment in its desired and
stated position, by means of two screws, one, the screw-pin P8, just above referred
to, and the other, a thumb-screw, the same, (and so lettered), as the thumb-screw E
before referred to, but which is preferably entered into the cloth-plate in a line
with and to the right of said screw-pin P³.
In lieu of securing this attachment to the cloth-plate or table D of a sewing-
machine, as has hereinbefore been described, it may be secured to the vertical bar
or rod D, Figures 23 and 24, which carries the presser-foot D', and is otherwise
arranged, combined and operated, in sewing-machines, as well known, or it may be
secured to the head Q, shown only in part, Figure 23, of the goose-neck (not
shown), as well known in sewing-machines.
The securing of the attachment to the presser-foot rod D³ may be, Figure 23,
made by means of a bow or U-shaped arm C, in full lines, and preferably of spring
metal and which, preferably, is at one end extended from either the right or left
side of and held on the block A, (shown as from the left) and to a distance
sufficient to afford ample space for the disposal of the upper layer of the goods
within its bow shape, and at the other end, suitably adapted therefor, it is set over,
Figures 23 and 24, the opposite flat sides n, and opposite screw-threaded edges of
the downward projected stud D' of the presser-foot rod D³, on which is set said
bow-arm C and the presser-foot; and both held by means of a screw-threaded
nut D, that is screwed thereon and against the under side of the bow-arm C³,
located below the presser-foot.
The securing of this attachment to the head Q of the goose-neck, Figure 23,
may be by means of a bow, or U-shaped arm, C1, shewn in dotted lines and
broken away, and in all respects similarly to the arm C, except in securing to the
head, which is by means of a square sided lug Centered into and suitably
engaged with the head and if desired, fastened by a screw or screws (not shown),
or other suitable means.
So far as the attachment of this invention has been now explained, it has been
in connection with the under feed-dog G, G², of a sewing machine. Plainly
however, it, in every respect so far as described, and also as will hereinafter appear
as to modifications in it and other instrumentalities of it, may be used as well in
connection with the upper feed-dog R, Figure 24, of a sewing machine, and simply
by having the under and upper sides of the feed-dog B respectively at the upper
and under sides of the block A.
The upper feed-dog R of the machine is of course, adapted to act, in substance,
in conjunction with the feed-dog B of the attachment, the same as the under feed-
dog G, G' of the machine acted therewith and so adapted, the upper feed-dog, as
has been before explained for the lower feed-dog, is to be otherwise constructed,
arranged and operated, for its action to feed goods as ordinary, or otherwise and as
well known and in no respect do such features' constitute any part of this
invention.
The feed-dog.B may be in one whole piece, Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 14, 16, 20
and 24, or it may be in separate parts, Figure 10, each adapted and by means of a
separate spring K, to independently move to and fro on the block A, as has been
hereinbefore explained for the feed-dog B, when in one whole piece. Again the
feed-dog B and opening A2 of the block A may be relatively provided with tongue
and groove S, Figures 10 and 11, for supporting and guiding the feed-dog B on
the block A, and this construction, if the feed-dog B is in one whole piece,
would be sufficient and so the bridge A³, A* of the block A, in so far as it acts
as a guide or support for the feed-dog, may be dispensed with, but hardly so, if
the feed-dog is in parts, Figures 10 and 11, unless said parts are joined by tongue
and groove so as to be supported from and to move on each other.

page_text: The relative adaptation, just above explained, of the feed-dog B and block A
for supporting and guiding the feed-dog on the block, however is particularly
applicable to said parts, Figure 12, with the bridge A³, A₁ of the block A
dispensed with and the end of the block A back of the sewing-needle left open and
the hole d for the passage of the needle and the throat or passage e leading from
said hole d in the feed-dog.
In the arrangement of the feed-dog B and block A, Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, by
withdrawing and thus disconnecting the bow-spring K from the feed-dog B, the
feed-dog can be then removed from the block, by drawing its end portion front of
the needle through the opposite side enlargements A' of the opening A² of the
block and each of which enlargements extend for the full thickness of the block.
The same is true of the feed-dog B, Figure 14, assuming that the feed-dog and
the block A to be the same in every respect as in Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 but by
this figure the feed-dog and the block are represented as being relatively adapted
with tongue and groove connection, the same as shown, Figures 10 and 11, but
there as applied to a feed-dog, in separate parts, in lieu of to a feed-dog in one
whole, Figure 14. Again, Figure 14, shows the bridge A³, A* of the block, as
attachable to, and detachable from the block, by the combination with, the
attachable and detachable end-portion of the block A, that is at the rear of the
needle, and which and the bridge, in place on the block, engages by its flat side
wings t, on its opposite vertical sides, corresponding shaped grooves or recesses in
the opposite sides of the opening A3, of a spring split tongue or pin u in continuation
of the bridge A', A' and which, in placing the bridge in the block as stated, is
entered into a socket u² of the end-portion of the block front of the needle, and
which is suitable to receive and confine it.
The relative construction of the bridge and block as just explained, is of itself, if
the holding parts explained are properly adapted to each other, sufficient to hold
the bridge in place on the block, but plainly this hold, if desired, may be made
positive and certain, by using fastening screws (not shown) for the engaging
portions of the bridge with the block at either one, or the other, or at both
of its ends.
The construction and arrangement of the bridge and block, Figure 14, allows the
bridge A, A and the feed-dog B to be readily removed from and replaced in the
block, and thus the same block can be used with different feed-dogs.
All of the constructions and arrangements of the block A and feed-dog B which
have been described, applied to and used in a sewing-machine, and whether the feed
of the machine is an under or an upper feed, operate substantially in the same
manner, and which has heretofore been, in its main features, fully explained but
will now, in its details be explained.
..
By rounding off the under edges f, at the front and rear of the block A, as has
been described, the under layer of goods to be and as they are being sewed can the
better pass under and out from under the block A.
The throat or passage e leading from the hole d of the attachment for the
passage of the needle in its work to sew together the upper and under layers of
goods, allows the stitches as they are formed and with the additional length of
needle thread at each stitch, to pass along and out from the attachment.
As before stated, it is preferable to have a smooth extreme end-portion k of the
feed-dog B at the rear of the needle and for the reason, that in the return movement
of said feed-dog and the feed-dog of the machine all liability of a return action of
the feed-dog B, on the goods being sewed is practically prevented.
Preferably the feed-dog B is allowed a more or less up and down movement on
the block A, for the reason, that, when the feed-dog B is not under the action
of the feed-dog of the machine, it can practically so free itself from the goods
as on its return movement to obviate all liability of its carrying the goods
with it.
The block A and the means to hold it in position on the machine, so far as they
have at present been described, are continuous with each other, referring more

page_text: particularly to the part thereof directly in extension or otherwise of the block. It
is preferable to have said block and said means separable for the reason, that then
either the means to hold the block on the machine, may be used with the blocks of
different thickness and the, same blocks may be used with different means to hold
them in position on the machine, according as said means may of necessity be
different for the adaptation of the attachment to the different types of sewing-
Two modes of
machines now well known or which may be hereafter known.
adapting said block, and said means to hold the block on the machine, for the
separation of the two from, and the attachment of the two to each other, are shown,
Figures 16 and 17, and Figures 1 and 8.
In Figures 16 and 17, the arm-extension C of the block A, which as before
explained was attached to said block is therein shown as unattached to the block,
and the block, at its side edge, of which said arm C was in extension, has an
extension C, having at each of its opposite end-portions, a similar bent ear-
piece C, and said arm C has two transverse slots C" of a width and length
corresponding to said ear-pieces and suitably located to receive and have them
inserted therein and therethrough, and so inserted then brought to a bearing against
the under side, and the extension C of the block to a bearing on the top of said
arm C. The parts C, C1, joined together as has been explained, are plainly separ-
able from and also attachable to each other, and while attached as stated obviously
they may be rigidly held together by entering fastening screws (not shown) through
their overlapping parts. However as to holding them together, it is plain, that
the bow shaped spring K hereinbefore described will, to a great extent, afford
practical security against their accidental displacement, when the attachment
is in use.
In Figures 18 and 19 the arm extension C having an offset Cs and a portion C³
is secured to the extension of the block A and lever arm P by the fulcrum pin P'
which passes through them, the said extension C and the extension of the block A
are secured together by pins or projections C¹ between the fulcrum and the handle
end of the lever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. In combination, a slotted block, means to fasten said block in position
under the presser-foot of a sewing machine a feed-dog located, and free to move to
and fro in said slotted block, and having its upper and under sides exposed, and it
and said block relatively adapted for the needle to move therethrough and the
stitches to pass therefrom and means to automatically move said feed-dog in one
direction on said block, substantially as described, for the purposes specified.
Second. In combination, a slotted block, a spring arm in extension and at one side
of said block and adapted to be secured to the cloth or bed plate of a sewing
machine, and fasten said block in position under the presser-foot, a feed-dog located,
and free to move to and fro in said slotted block, and having its upper and under
sides exposed, and said block relatively adapted for the needle to move there-
through and the stitches to pass therefrom and means to automatically move said
feed-dog in one direction on said block, substantially as described, for the purposes
specified.
Third. In combination, a slotted block, a spring arm in extension and at one side
of said block and adapted to be secured to the cloth or bed plate of a sewing

said extension and a fixed cam edge, in position as said lever is swung to work
on the under side of it, a feed-dog located, and free to move to and fro in said slotted
block, and having its upper and under sides exposed and it and said block relatively
adapted for the needle to move therethrough and the stitch to pass therefrom and

page_text: means to automatically move said feed-dog in one direction on said block, substan-
tially as described, for the purposes specified.
Fourth. A slotted block A, having a bridge A³, A', lengthwise thereof and its
portion A above its portion A³ and said portion A provided with a needle hole, d
and a throat e leading therefrom, means to fasten said block in position under the
presser-foot of a sewing machine, a feed-dog, located and free to move to and fro
in and to straddle the lower portion A³ of said bridge of said slotted block, and to
have its upper and under sides exposed, and means to automatically move said
feed-dog in one direction on said block, substantially as described, for the purpose
specified.
Fifth. In combination, a slotted block A and a feed-dog B which is located and
