Improvements Connected with Mechanism for Sewing together the
Ends of Calico or other Fabrics Intended for Calendering,
Bleaching, and other Purposes.
I JAMES WORRALL of 51 Cresant Road Dukinfield Cheshire Machine Fitter I do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for SEWING TOGETHER THE ENDS OF CALICO
OR OTHER FABRICS to be as follows:-
My Invention consists of a Horizontal Rotary driving Shaft geared at right angle
to a looper or cross shaft by means of a pair of mitre wheels. On the said horizontal
driving shaft I key on a worm which gives motion to a worm wheel keyed on to a
cross shaft at right angle to the said horizontal shaft. At each end of the said cross
shaft I fix a double flanged pulley. Between the said flanges runs an endless band
or drag motion carried over a pulley fixed on the front of the machine.
The said endless bands consists of filleting containing wire points. The said endless
bands when in motion form a drag or feed motion for carrying the fabric over the
said double flanged pulleys. The flanges of the said pulleys being sufficiently large
to releive the fabric from the wire points on the surface of the endless bands depositing
the fabric on the bed plate behind the said cross shaft.
The above invention enables the operater to pass the fabric in a parallel direction to
the said driving shaft or needle arm of the sewing machine and not at right angle to
the said needle arm as in other machines in use.
The foregoing details may be varied without departing from my said Invention.

I JAMES WORRALL, 51 Cresant Road Dukinfield Cheshire Machinist do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Invention consists of a horizontal rotary driving shaft geared at right angles to
one looper shaft or cross shaft by means of a pair of mitre wheels.
On the said horizontal driving shaft I key on a worm which gives motion to a
worm wheel keyed on to a cross shaft at right angles to the said horizontal shaft.
At each end of the said cross shaft I fix a double flanged pulley.
Between the said flanges runs an endless band or drag motion carried over pulleys
fixed on the front of the machine.
The said endless bands consists of wire filliting containing wire points.
The said endless bands when in motion form a drag or feed motion for carrying the
fabric over the said double flanged pulleys.
The flanges of the said pulleys being sufficiently large to releive the fabric from the
wire points on the surface of the endless bands depositing the fabric on the bed plate
behind the said cross shaft.
The above invention enables the operator to pass the fabric in a parallel direction
to the said driving shaft or needle arm of the sewing machine and not at right angles
to the said needle arm as in other machines in use.
The foregoing details may be varied without departing from my Invention.
And in order that my Invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying drawing reference being had to the figures and
letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a plan of my improved machine.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
A is the horizontal driving shaft to which is keyed on the worm B, which gives
motion to the worm wheel C keyed on to the cross shaft D.
e. e. are the double flanged pulleys over which runs the endless bands or drag
motion, J.
F. F. are the carrier pulleys attached to the front of the machine.
G is the looper shaft at right angles to the horizontal shaft which receives motion
from the mitre wheels, H. H.
