UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDDY T. THOMAS, OF NElV YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE GOLD MEDAL SEWING MACHINE COMPANY, OF ORANGE, MASSACHUSETTS.
GUIDE AND NEEDLE-HOLDER FOR SEWING-MACHINES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,235, dated May 31, 1881.
Application filed January 14, 1881. (Model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDDY T. THoMAs, of New York, county and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Guides and Needle-Holders for SeWing-lVIachines, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
This myinvention in sewing-machineattachments consists in a gage and attached needleholder, the two articles being permanently united, and as herein shown the gage and body of the needle-holder are composed of one piece of metal. The needle-holding part is shown as provided with numbers and figures, indicating sizes of needles to be used with particular sizes of thread, the said figures being stamped or indicated thereon, so as to be plainly visible to the operator.
Figure 1 represents, in plan view, a con1- bined gage and needle-holder made in accordance with my invention Fig. 2, asection thereof on the line 00 w; Fig.3, a section on the line 1 y and Fig. 4, a plan of the blank from which the gage and needle-holder are made.
In the manufacture of the attachment herein claimed I take a sheet-metal blank, a, as shown in Fig.4, and bend it on the dotted line 2 2 to form the upright gage face I). The end 3 of the blank is rolled or turned over about a former to produce a cylinder, which serves as the body of the needle-holder IL. The cylinder, constituting part of the holder, is provided at its front end with a head, 4, which alsoforms an upright to bear against the side of the usual presser-foot, the latter resting in the notch (I. (See Fig.1.) The rear end of the said cylinder is provided with a removable cover or cap, 0. (Shown partially drawn out in Fig. 1.) The blank a has a slot, f, to receive the usual screw to adjust and confine the attachment on the sewing-machine bed-plate.
In sewing-machine work considerable judg ment is required in selecting the proper-sized threfltLfOr the work to be done and then to use a proper needle for the thread so selected. If the needle-threads are improperly proportioned the sewing fails to present the proper appearance, and this wrong appearance is oftentimes laid to the machine rather than to the lack of judgment of the operator. 5 The proper-sized needle and thread is usually referred to in the instruction -books sent out with sewing-machines; but the books get lost and fail to instruct the operator, or are laid away where the operator has not before her, as she should constantly have, the proper scale.
To enable the operator to always have before her a scale showing proper-sized needles to be used ith given sizes ot'thread, and therefore can have no excuse for overlooking the 6 scale, I have stamped or printed on the holder h the word Needles, (see Fig. 1,) and on the same line have added numbers indicating the most common sizes of needles.
In another place I have indicated the word 6 Thread, and have opposite to it coupled together usual sizes of thread, as 120 to 300, 90. to 120, (50 to 90, &c., the sizes of thread opposite a number indicating a needle of a certain size, as the number 1 opposite the numbers 40 to 60 indicates that for number 40 or 60 thread a No. l. needle should be employed to get the best result. This scale indicating sizes of needles and thread, being on the holder and attachment, may always be readily seen, and is 3 of great practical assistance to all others than expert operators.
I claim 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a combined sewing-machine gage and needleholder, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combined sewing-machine gage and needle-holder provided with the scale to indicate the sizes of needles and thread to be used together, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDDY TAYLOR THOMAS.
Witnesses BERNARD J. KELLY, ALLEN SOHENOK.
