Patent ID: 8006632

Claim:
A hemming device detachably securable to a material, the hemming device comprising: a longitudinally extending outer body having a distal end portion and a base portion, and defining an opening, wherein the outer body distal end portion comprises a seam recess; a longitudinally extending and substantially planar tongue having a first end and a second end; and a hinge connecting the outer body base portion and the second end of the tongue, the outer body base portion being offset via the hinge from the second end of the tongue in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion, the hinge biased to position the tongue to extend from the second end through the opening when detached from the material, the hinge enabling the tongue to be displaced out of the opening so as to define a receiving recess bounded by the tongue, the outer body, and the hinge, such that the material may be received and detachably secured within the receiving recess.
