Description
WILLIAM M. GUTHBERT, OF OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPRQVEMENT IN SEWING'MACHINE TABLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,903, dated March 18, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, W. M. OUTHBERT, of Oil City, Venango county, (formerly of Meadville, Crawford county,). and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Sewing-Machine Tables, of which the following is a specification:
Nature and Object of the Invention.
The first part of my invention relates to the mode of hinging the sewing-machine underneath the table-top, and also securing the same in a drawer, when the machine is not in use, that it may be kept free from dust as well as injury. The second part of my invention relates to the mode of filling or covering the opening left in the table-top, when the machine is down under the top of the table, with a lid or by one or more leaves hinged by reversible hinges to the top of the said table. The object of this part of my invention is to convert the machine-table into a stand or an extended table for general use.
Description of the Accompanying Drawing.
- table-top, showing the machine when let down or out of use. Fig. 4 is the lid for closing the opening in the table-top made by the letting down of the machine. 'Fig. 5 is an end view of the drawer for inclosing the machine when let down.
General Description.
' A is the legs of the table. B is the treadle. G is'the pitman. D is the fly-whee], which is hung at sucha distance below the table-top as not to come in contact or interfere with the machine-pulley E whenthe machine is placed under the table. E is the machine-pulley. F is the machine-arm in connection with the bedplate N, which is hinged either directly to the lower side of the table-top, or is attached to the platform M, andthereby vindirectly hinged to the table-top B, so that the machine can be placed in the upright position on top Fig.
of the table, as is shown in Fig. 1, or. let down under the table-top, as shown by the lines F and N in Fig.1; also by F and N in Figs. 2 and 3. M, Fig.2, is a platform composed of two end pieces and a top piece, also a shelf. The top piece is cut oiit so as to accommodate the shaft and working parts of the machine, the
bed-plate of which is'attached to it by any device, and the platform is hinged to the tabletop. The object of the shelf is to protect the clothing of the operator from being soiled by the oil dropping on them. N is the bed-plate of the machine, hinged to the under side of .the table-top or attached to the platform M.
I is an end view of the drawer, Fig. 5, and also represents the drawer partially drawn out in Fig. 3. G represents the table-leaves, hinged with flush reversible hinges L, Fig. 3, so that they may be folded in any direction. 0, Fig. 1, are the slides used to support the leaves when in a horizontal position. The dotted lines K show the different positions in which the leaves may be placed. H, Figs. 2, 3, and 4, shows the position of the 'lid, which is hinged to the front of the table-top, and which must be raised when changing the position of the machine, in order that the machine-arm may have room to clear. J is also a portion of the lid which is entirely removed when the machine is in the upright position and ready for use, and in conjunction with the hinged portion H fills the opening left in the table-top when the machine is let down and not in use. P is the rabbets in which the drawer slides. R is the table-top, cut out in the center, so that the machine can be raised above it or lowered through the opening.
Operation.
as shown by the lines J and H, Fig. 3. The
drawer .I is then slid in the rabbets so as to FFICE.
completely inclose the machine. The inven tion in this position, the leaves G being in the horizontal position, forms a useful table.
When it is desired to use it as a stand the leaves are folded over the top meeting in the center, and rest on the table-top, thus forming a convenient stand.
I am now aware that other persons have before me arranged sewing-machines that they may be, when not in use, placed under the surface of the table and the table converted into one for other purposes; but
