Improvements Connected with Sewing Machines for Sewing in
Piping-cord.
We CHARLES LEETHEM REYNOLDS, and HERBERT WAIDE REYNOLDS, both of
Sultan Factory, Landport, Corset Manufacturers, and EDWARD CHARLES BEAN, of
Buckland, Portsmouth, Engineer, all in the county of Hampshire, 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 :—
This invention refers to novel arrangements of adjuncts to sewing machines to
enable a piping cord to be sewn into a strip of material and is proposed to be used with
a double needle machine. To enable this invention to be properly understood we will
proceed to describe the same with aid by the accompanying drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is front view of head of a machine with our invention applied thereto.
Figure 2 side olevation of same.
Figure 3. plan of part embodied in figure 2.
Figure 4. plan of folder and presser foot.
Figure 5. side view of preceding figure.
Figure 6. back end view of preceding figure.
Figure 7. perspective view.
A is the machine head having attached upon the top a rack B to give a tension to
the material C, while passing under the presser foot. This rack is fitted with a
number of bars D, for the material to pass in and out to give it the requisite
tension. The top bar E has holes F through it for the piping cords G. the bottom
of the rack B has a right angle estension H formed with a slot I, for the material C,
and holes J, for the piping cords to guide them to the mouth of folder K. the
folding part is of the usual construction. Fitting in the mouth of folder, is a plate L,
having holes M, for the entrance of the piping cord, this passes out at bottoin with
the material C, and within the hem: To prevent the cord interfering with the action
of the presser foot, grooves N, under the foot are made for the cords. A quantity
of material C, and cords G, is suitably held to be fed to the machine, through rack.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. For use with sewing machines, the combination of the rack B, with a folder to
fold material.
2. For use with sewing machines, a folder adapted to fold material over a piping
cord or cords having the folding part K of usual construction combined with an
attached plate L, with holes M, and grooves N, under foot as and for the purposes
described in the foregoing specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
3. For use with a sewing machine, the combination of the rack B, and a folder
having the usual folding part K, combined with an attached plate L, with holes M,
and grooves N, under foot, as and for the purposes described in the foregoing specifi-
cation and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
