I, EMILE CORNELY residing at 87 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris, France, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In letters patent No. 2597 of the 24th May 1883 I have described the method of
fixing cords or similar articles to textile fabrics which consists in winding a thread
around the cord and around the stitch of the seam by means of a revolving thread
carrier.
The beauty of the work to be obtained by the machine depends to the greater part
upon the tightness of the seam to which the cord is secured and when said seam is
made by means of a hook needle said tightness is obtained by adjusting the needle in
a very close position to the material, but as the revolving thread carrier must lay its
thread under the point of the needle its position must be a very low one for this
operation and when again it passes over the cord of a certain thickness its position
must be a higher one at that moment, it is therefore necessary, that the revolving
thread carrier must have an ascending motion while passing over the cord and a
descending motion while it lays its thread under the needle.
Figs. 1, 2, and 3 represent the organs for producing said motion.
Fig. 4. represent the organs for producing the stitch, the same as represented in
letters patent No. 2597 of 1883 with the same letters of reference.
Fig. 5. represents the passage of the cord or of the stringed beads from the spool
to the needle bar.
In Fig. 4 represents the cloth; 20 the needle hook; 19 its nipple; H the
nipple tube; the revolving thread carrier; A the cord which is represented as a
string of beads on which the beads are fixed in spaces; to the chain stitch, and g the
thread of the revolving thread carrier.
In Fig. 1 the revolving thread carrier 6 is secured to its carrier F by means of a
spring c, so that the thread carrier during its rotation around the needle will be
pressed lightly against the nipple 19 and its cording guide d. The bearer F is not
secured to the wheel B, but can freely slide within the guide L which is secured to

page_text: said wheel. The wheel B is turned by means of the mechanisms described in letters
patent 2579 of 1883. The bearer F is also guided in its vertical motion by means of
the guide stud O. A friction roller x is secured to the bearer F and bears against the
cam disc M which is secured on the nipple tube H. By means of the up and down
motion of the nipple tube H, and the peculiar shape of the cam disc M the bearer F and
consequently the thread carrier b, while revolving with wheel B are alternately raised
and lowered at such moments of their revolution that they will rise while passing over
the string or cord and that the spring 6, on stud d, will press them downward when the
thread carrier 6 lays its thread under the point of the needle as represented at fig. 4.
Figs. 2 and 3 represent another arrangement for the same purpose. The friction
roller a is secured to the nipple tube H and a cylindrical cam O is adjusted on the
tube N and is pressed downward against the roller by the pressure of spring p.
The thread carrier b, and its holder Fare secured to the cylinder O and the holder F
extends into a groove n in wheel B to participate in the rotation of the latter. The
up and downward motion of the nipple tube H and the peculiar shape of the cam on
cylinder cause the latter to rise and to fall at the proper moment as described
above. It is evident that the cam may be secured to the nipple tube H as represented
at fig. 1 and the friction roller c, to the cylinder O to produce the same result.
In Fig. 5 I have represented an arrangement for guiding the bead string from its
spool to the hollow needle bar through which it descends down to through the nipple
tube H and the guide d. V represents the spool on which the stringed beads are
wound; it turns on the spool pin m, which is secured to the spool stand X which is
fastened to the upper face of the arm Z of the machine. A lever S is pivotted at K,
to the side of the head plate R and bears at its upper part a guiding roller U which
turns freely on its pin 2. The stringed beads pass from their spool V over the guiding
roller U down into the hollow needle bar y and thence into the nipple.
When it is necessary to take out the needle bar y, the lever S and the guiding roller U
can be swung aside as represented in dotted lines on fig. 5 and do not stand in the
way of said operation.
I do not limit my invention to the arrangements above described for raising and
lowering the rotating thread carrier and for guiding the string or cord into the hollow
needle bar and through the central tube of the machine as said operations can be
effected in various manners.

page_text: I, EMILE CORNELY residing at 87 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris France, Manufacturer
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: --
In letters patent No. 2597 of the 24th May 1883 I have described the method of
fixing cords or similar articles to textile fabrics which consists in winding a thread
around the cord and around the stitch of the seam by means of a revolving thread
carrier.
The beauty of the work to be obtained by the machine depends to the greater part
upon the tightness of the seam to which the cord is secured and when said seam is
made by means of a hook needle said tightness is obtained by adjusting the needle in
a very close position to the material, but as the revolving thread carrier must lay its
thread under the point of the needle its position must be a very low one for this
operation and when again it passes over the cord of a certain thickness its position
must be a higher one at that moment, it is therefore necessary, that the revolving
thread carrier must have an ascending motion while passing over the cord and a
descending motion while it lays its thread under the needle.
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 represent the organs for producing said motion.
Fig. 4 represent the organs for producing the stitch the same as represented in
letters patent No. 2597 of 1883 with the same letters of reference.
Fig. 5 represents the passage of the cord or of the stringed beads from the spool to
the needle bar.
In fig. 4, represents the cloth; 20 the needle hook; 19 its nipple; H the nipple
tube;
the revolving thread carrier A the cord which is represented as a string of
beads on which the beads are fixed in spaces; h the thread of the chain stitch; and g
the thread of the revolving thread carrier.
In Fig. 1 the revolving thread carrier bis secured to its carrier F by means of a
spring C, so that the thread carrier during its rotation around the needle will be
pressed lightly against the nipple 19 and its cording guide d. The bearer F is not
secured to the wheel B, but can freely slide within the guide L which is secured to
said wheel. The wheel B is turned by means of the mechanisms described in letters
patent 2597 of 1883. The bearer F is also guided in its vertical motion by means of
the guide stud O. A friction roller a is secured to the bearer F and bears against the
cam disc M which is secured on the nipple tube H. By means of the up and down
motion of the nipple tube H, and the peculiar shape of the cam disc M the bearer F

page_text: and consequently the thread carrier b, while revolving with wheel B are alternately
raised and lowered at such moments of their revolution that they will rise while
passing over the string or cord and that the spring 6, on stud o will press them down-
ward when the thread carrier 6 lays its thread under the point of the needle as
represented at fig. 4.
Figs. 2 and 3 represent another arrangement for the same purpose. The friction
roller is secured to the nipple tube H and a cylindrical cami O is adjusted on the
tube N and is pressed downward against the roller a by the pressure of spring
The thread carrier b, and its holder F are secured to the cylinder O and the holder
extends into a groove n in wheel B to participate in the rotation of the latter. The
up and downward motion of the nipple tube H and the peculiar shape of the cam on
cylinder O cause the latter to rise and to fall at the proper moment as described above.
It is evident that the cam may be secured to the nipple tube H as represented at fig. 1
and the friction roller x, to the cylinder O to produce the same result.
In Fig. 5 I have represented an arrangement for guiding the bead string from its
spool to the hollow needle bar through which it descends down to through the nipple
tube H and the guide d. V represents the spool on which the stringed beads are
wound it turns on the spool pin m, which is secured to the spool stand X which is
fastened to the upper face of the arm Z of the machine. A Lever S is pivotted at K,
to the side of the head plate R and bears at its upper part a guiding roller U which
turned freely on its pin 2. The stringed beads pass from their spool V over the
guiding roller U down into the hollow needle bar y and thence into the nipple.
When it is necessary to take out the needle bar y, the lever S and the guiding roller U
can be swung aside as represented in dotted lines on fig. 5 and do not stand in the way
of said operation.
I do not limit my invention to the arrangements above described for raising and
lowering the rotating thread carrier and for guiding the string or cord into the hollow
needle bar and through the central tube of the machine as said operations can be
effected in various manners.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what we claim is:-
1. The application to a sewing or embroidering machine of a revolving thread
carrier which while rotating around the needle rises when it passes over the seam or
over the cord and which descends when it lays its thread under the point of the
needle.
2. Operating the ascending and descending motion of the revolving thread carrier
by the action of the rising and falling nipple tube substantially as herein shown and
described.
