UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ARMISTEAD Y. MOOREFIELD, OF TALLASSA, ALABAMA.
INSTRUMENT FOR TURNING EDGES OF CLOTH.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,447, dated June 29, 1880.
Application filed March 30, 1880.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARMISTEAD Y. MOORE- FIELD, of Tallassa, in the county of Elmore, and in the State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Instruments for Turning Edges of (110th; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,
x clear, and exa'ct description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of an instrument for turniugdown bias strips of goods for dress purposes, as will e hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my creasing-instrument. Fig. 2 is an end View, and Fig. 3 a longitudinal section, of the same. Fig. 4: is a detail View of a part thereof.
A represents the body of the instrument, made of a single piece of sheet metal, having its edges turned to form the scrolls B B,for turning the edges of the strip as it passes through the instrument. These scrolls do not run exactly parallel, but are a trifle closer together where the goods come out than where they enter the instrument.
"J is a spring or plate passed in between the scrolls B and plate A, and provided with a fin ger-piece, D. I
(No model.)
F is a brace passed over the narrower end of the instrument for the first and second fingers of the right hand while in use.
This instrument is to be used by hand, as follows: The spring or plate 0 is withdrawn, and the bias strip is put through the large ends of the scrolls, and the spring then replaced. Then, by laying the instrument on a smooth board with the right side of the cloth down, the end of the goods is held against the board with the left hand as the creaser is pulled with the right hand. The creaseris to be held so that the nails of the first and second fingers will crease the goods as it comes through. At the same time the thumb is to be used as a guide at the large end of the creaser.
These instruments may be made of any size, so as to crease strips of any desired width.
To crease alpacas, worsteds, &c., a hot iron is to be used and the creaser pushed with it.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The within-described creaser, consisting of the plate A, with scrolls B B, plate 0, with finger-piece l), and the brace F, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of March, 1580.
ARMISTEAD Y. MOOREFIELD.
