An Improved Attachment for Double Line Sewing Machines for
Piping or Cording or the like.
We JOHN CHAPPELL and THOMAS ROBERT ROSSITER of the Firm of Chappell
Allen & Co. of 24 Basinghall Street in the City of London Corset Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
-
This Invention has for its object to provide an attachment to be used for piping
cording or the like in double line sewing inachines such for instance as the one forming
the subject matter of the Patent No. 16196 granted to one of us vizt. the said Thomas
Robert Rossiter as of the 24th November 1887. The attachment for this purpose must
be such that it can be used either for guiding in Sewing in one row of piping cording
or the like by the two rows of stitching formed by the machine or for guiding in
sewing in two rows of such piping cording or the like between the two rows of
stitching formed by the machine and one of the rows of stitching already formed.
It is necessary for the purpose of sewing in the rows of piping cording or the like
as aforesaid to arrange the attachment so that the one row of piping cording or the
like is fed in line between the two rows of stitching without there being any obstacle
in the way of bringing the piping or cording up close to a row or rows which may
have been previously formed and also so that two rows of piping cording or the like
can be fed one in line between the two rows of stitching and the other piping cording
or the like between one of the rows of stitching previously made and one of the rows
of stitching being made by the machine.
According to this Invention there is provided for this purpose an attachment for
thus guiding the pipings cordings or the like which attachınent carries two guides for
the piping cord or the like so arranged that either the inner guide can be turned out
of the way when one row of piping cording or the like is to be sewn in or so that the
attachment can be bodily moved and the inner guide be caused to take the position
formerly occupied by the outer guide. In the former case we can mount the inner
guide upon a spring moveably secured to the attachment so that it can be turned and

page_text: held either in or out of position as desired and in the latter case we can make the
attachment or the part thereof carrying the guides capable of being moved laterally
of the lines of sewing so as to bring the inner guide either to outside the row of stitching
made by the inner needle or to between the rows of stitching made by the two
needles. In order to give exact adjustment the movement of the attachment or the
moveable part thereof may be limited to the necessary extent by stops and
means be provided for fixing the attachment or moveable part thereof in both of its
positions.

We, JOHN CHAPPELL and THOMAS ROBERT ROSSITER of the Firm of Chappell
Allen & Co. of 24 Basinghall Street, in the City of London, Corset Manufacturers,
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 has for its object to provide an attachment to be used for piping
cording or the like in double line sewing machines such for instance as the one
forming the subject matter of the Patent No. 16196 granted to one of us viz., the said
Thomas Robert Rossiter as of tho 24th November 1887. The attachment for this
purpose must be such that it can be used either for guiding in sewing in one row of
piping cording or the like by the two rows of stitching formed by the machine
or for guiding in sewing in two rows of such piping cording or the like between the
two rows of stitching formed by the machine and one of the rows of stitching already
formed. It is desirable for the purpose of sewing in the rows of piping cording or
the like as aforesaid to arrange the attachment so that the one row of piping cording
or the like is fed in line between the two rows of stitching without there being any
obstacle in the way of bringing the piping or cording up close to a row or rows which
may have been previously formed and also so that two rows of piping cording or the
like can he fed one in line between the two rows of stitching and the other piping
cording or the like between one of the rows of stitching previously made and one of
the rows of stitching being made by the machine.

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is an elevation and Figure 2 is a plan of
part of a double row sewing machine with an attachment according to this invention
in place. Figure 3 is a vertical section of part of the same and Figures 4 and 5 shew
the two positions of a modification.
A A are the two needles of the machine and A' is the presser foot. B is the
attachment for guiding the pipings cordings or the like as aforesaid, which attachment
carries two guides b' for the piping cord or the like so arranged that either the
inner guide can be turned out of the way when one row of piping cording or the like
is to be sewn in or so that the attachment can be bodily moved and the inner guide be
caused to take the position formerly occupied by the outer guide. In the former case
which is shewn in Figures 4 and 5 we can mount the inner guide upon a spring e
movably secured to the attachment (as by being centered at c) so that it can be turned
and held either in position (as in Figure 4) or out of position (as in Figure 5) as
desired. is a stud which engages in a hole in the spring c to hold the guide L³ in
the position shown in Figure 4, the spring c being raised so that the said hole is lifted
from off the said stud when the guide is to be turned back as shown in Figure 5.
In the latter case which is shewn in Figures 1, 2 and 3 we can make the attachment
B or the part thereof carrying the guides capable of being moved laterally of the lines

page_text: of sewing so as to bring the inner guide either to outside the row of stitching made by
the inner needle or to between the rows of stitching inade by the two needles. In order
to give exact adjustment the movement of the attachment B or the movable part
thereof may be limited to the necessary extent by stops and means be provided for
fixing the attachment or movable part thereof in both of its positions. These means
as shown in the drawing consist of a slot in the attachment through which passes a
screw d with a handle the said screw limiting the movement of the attachment by one
or other end of the slot 63 coming against the screw d when by means of the handle e
and screw d the attachment is fixed in the position to which it has been brought by
being pinched between the boss or nut of the handle and the bed plate.
The attachment may be made a permanent part of or be fixed to the machine but
generally it will be more convenient to make it readily removeable therefrom for
instance by making the lower member or arm B* thereof slide in an undercut groove
in the underside of the bed plate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
1.
An attachment for piping cording or the like in double line sewing machines
the said attachment being furnished with two guides as described.
2. An attachment for piping cording or the like in double line sewing machines the
said attachment being furnished with two guides one or both of which can be moved
into and out of position substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
3. An attachment for the purpose described consisting of the main part B having
two guides bb slot 63 and fixing screw d substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings.
4. An attachment for the purpose described consisting of the main part B the two
guides and guide carrying spring e capable of being moved into and out of
position substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of
the accompanying drawings.
