M. MAISLEIN SEWING GAUGE Filed June 22, 1923 MINNA MAISLEIN, F 3111121433, WISCONSIN.

SEWING GAUGE.

Application filed June 22, 1923.

To all li /1071b it may concern.

Be it known that l, MINNA Maisnnin, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Tipler, in the county of Florence and State of lVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sewing Gauges, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. which are a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sewing gauges and more particularly to sewing gauges for sewing machines.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a gauge for sewing machines which will enable the operator to obtain a perfectly straight hem, seam or line of sewing.

A further object of the invention is to provide a gauge of the class described which will assist a machine operator in securing a hem or the like of a certain width and in easily maintaining that width while operating the sewing machine.

A further object of the invention is to provide a gauge of the class described with which any form of sewing machine may be easily equipped.

further object of the invention is to provide a sewing gauge which is of very simple construction, is strong and durable, is inexpensive to manufacture, and is well adapted for the purpose described.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the improved sewing gauge, and its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.

in the accompanying drawing in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in both of the views.

ri 1 is a perspective view of a sewing machine provided with the improved sewing gauge; and

Fig. is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the top portion of a sewing machine provided with the improved sewing gauge and showing its application.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, it will be seen that the numeral 5 indicates the upper portion of a sewing ma chine, comprising a head 6 and a table portion 7. The invention particularly resides in the provision of apair of graduated scale members 8 and 9 positioned parallel to each other 011 the table portion 7 and extending longitudinally, as shown. Said scale mem- Serial No. 647,196.

bers may be secured to the portion 7 or scale markings may be delineated or otherwise formed thereon to form the scale members. One of the scales, as 8 commences at the needle hole. 10 formed in the sewing machine and terminates at an arm 11 forming part of the sewing machine head. The other scale member is positioned compare.tively close to the front edge of the table portion '7. commencing at a point 12 in alinement with the inner extremity of the scale 8 and continuing to the side edge of the portion 7.

Obviously the device makes it possible to obtain a very straight, and accurate hem. As shown in Fig. 2, the material to be sewed or garment 13 is placed on the table portion of the machine and a hem 14 is turned as wide as desired. The forward edge 15 of the goods is: then placed in alinement with the inner extremities of the scales 8 and 9 and touching the needle hole 10 and an upstanding stud 17 which is provided to enable the operator to feel the position of the end of the scale 9 when the same is covered by the material. The turned edge 18 of the material should be maintained in coincidence with the same markings on both scales 8 and 9 and as the line of sewing is formed, it will be perfectly straight and parallel to the edge 18. In a similar manner accurate work is obtained when running a seam, sewing lace or trinnning to material, or doing other forms of sewing.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that the improved gauge for sewing machines is of very simple and novel construction, and is well adapted for the purpose set forth.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. The combination with a sewing ma chine having a table portion with a needle hole therein and a head member, of a graduated scale formed on said table portion and extending from the needle hole to the head member, a second graduated scale parallel to the first mentioned scale and spaced therefrom, commencing at a point in perpendicular alinement with the commencing point of the first mentioned scale and continuing longitudinally to the side edge of the table portion, and an upstanding stud positioned adjacent the commencing point of one scale.

2. The combination with a sewing machine having a table portion with a needle hole therein and a head member, of a graduated scale formed on said table portion and extending horizontally from the needle hole, a second graduated scale parallel to the first mentioned scale and spaced therefrom, commencing at a point in perpendicular alinement With the commencing point of the first mentioned scale and continuing longitudinally, and means positioned adjacent the In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.

MRS. MINNA MAISLEIN.
