IMPROVEMENT IN QlJlLTlNG-FRAMES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 87,57 1 dated February 20, 1877; application filed December 23, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCES M. TOUSLEY, of Lincoln, in the county of Lancaster and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and Imprm'ed Quilting-Frame, of which the following is a specification:
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a top view of my improved quilt ing-frame; Fig. 2, a side view, and Fig. 3 an end View, of the same, shown folded up with the quilt.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention relates to an improved quiltin -fran'ie that is ca iahle of bein folded u a l b l into convenient and compact shape with the quilts, for taking up less room when setting away the work, and which may also be folded up for storing or shipping into a very small space after use.
The invention consists of a quilting-frame composed of rails made of hinged pieces, that are stiffened at the joints by locking hooks and eyes, and connected at the corners by flanged metallic seats and fastening thumbscrews. By loosening the hooks of parallel rails the frame and quilt may be folded by detaching the rails and loosening all the hooks the entire frame may be folded up.
In the drawing, A A are the folding rails.
' of which four constitute my improved quiltingframe. The rails are made of several pieces,
a, connected at alternately opposite sides by hinges b, and by locking hooks and eyes (I. for the purpose of forming one rigid rail or folding the same up, as desired.
The rails, A are connected at the corners by intermediate metallic seats B, having parallel downward-bent flanges c, to bind on the lower rail, and parallel upward-bent flanges c, at right angles to the former, to bindlon the upper rail. Through holes of the rails Aand seats B are passed the fastening screw-bolts O, which, by thumb-screws G, secure the rails tightly to each other, and admit, on being un screwed, the ready detaching of the rails for being folded up. The quilt is stretched on the frame in anysnitablemanner, and readily folded up with two parallel side rails, A, when it is desired to put it away at any time during the continuance of the work, the quilt and frame taking up thereby less room, and being easier handled.
When the quilt is finished the rails are detached, folded up, and stored, with the fastening screw-bolts, out of the way, taking up but
