YARD GOODS TENSIONING DEVICE Filed 001;. 29, 1946 Inventor Kay Dadds- Mia WW 3m Patented July 4, 1950 t UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE YARD GOODS TEN SIONIN G DEVICE Kay Dodds, Middletown, Ohio Application October 29, 1946, Serial No. 706,446
6 Claims. (01. 223-410) which will impose a predetermined tension on cloth or similar goods drawn therethrough a short length at a time as by a seamstress in the formation of a hem or the like.
Another object of this invention is to provide such a device with means whereby a different tension can be applied to cloth drawn through one side of the device from the tension when the cloth is drawn through the other side of the device.
Another object of this invention is to provide a device which will accommodate two or more layers of cloth drawn through the device simulon the finger of an operator, is to allow the goods operated on to be pulled through the 'tensioning device either toward or away from the operator,.
and as described above, with a choice of the degree of tensioning applied to the cloth.
And a last object to'be specifically mentioned is to provide such device in a form which is practicable to manufacture, convenient and simple to use, and which will give efficient and durable service.
With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter, this invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which form a material part of this application and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention, the hand of an operator and a piece of goods being operated on, illustrating a hem being made;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the novel structure shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a plan view of the same;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the tensioning blade with its serrated edge;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modification of my invention; and,
Figure 6 is a View, in perspective, of a modification of the tensioning plate, designed to fulfill a function comparable to that of the apparatus shown in Figure i.
Similar characters of reference refer to similar or identical partsthroughout the several views of the drawing.
As shown in the drawings, this invention includes an annular attachment member is, the top portion ii; of Whicliis slightly flattened to fit the finger of the operator, and one end thereof is extended in more or less tangential relationship as at it, and is laterally recessed on both sides as best shown in Figure 3. The end 16 of the projecting portion carries the plate It attached thereto by 1e nut and bolt 28, and the inner edge of this plate or blade is is serrated and has a non-central inner end recess 22 Which divides the serrated edge into the two portions 24 and 26, both portions yieldably contacting the portion 12. g
In a modification ofmy invention, depicted in Figure 5, the supporting member H0 is a flat plate securable to a flange, such as a table. top,
"by the attaching bracket H2 and the clamp H4.
Theblade H5 is serrated on one edge thereof, and this serrated edge is divided into two portions H8 and I by the non-central recess I22. Resilient mountingof the blade H6 is, in this case, provided by a simple attachment lug I24 which may be integral with the blade H6 and may be secured by spot Welding or other suitable means, to the hat plate i it. It will be noted that the blade H6 is mounted at an acute angle with the plate I H).
A second modification of my invention is illustrated in Figure 6 and comprises a roller 210 mounted in friction bearings 2l2 on the edge of a plate 2 l4, corresponding to the blade I8 shown in Figure 1.
In using the device, the annular ring I0 is slipped upon the end of the index finger and the material to be operated on, as in sewing, is drawn through, a portion at a time, between the plate l8 and the flattened portion of the annular ring l2. It will be seen, as indicated in Figure 1, that the forefinger and thumb are now free to hold a portion of the cloth under reasonable tension between the point of contact of the thumb and finger and the device. In an operation such as the formation of a hem the material is drawn from the left to the right through the device and sewn, a portion at a time, while being held under tension. In another use of this invention, the material, together with another portion of mate- 3 rial which it is desired to attach as in the application of lace to a hem, the two layers of material are drawn from the right to the left through the device, and in this case the shorter length of the serrated edge, that is, the portion shown at 26 in Figure 4, will produce a slightly lessened tension on the material. In either case, the recess 22 is functional in allowing the edge of the mate rial to ride free through the device, that is, the very edge of the material is not tensioned to the same degree as the rest of the material pulled through. The lateral recesses 14 greatly facilitate entrance of the cloth from either direction into the device.
In using the modification of my invention illustrated in Figure 5, the procedure will be modified by reason of the attachment of this form of this device to a table, sewing machine or other 4 facilitate the entrance of said material from either side thereof, said surface being a serrated edge of said element and said serrated edge being divided into two parts of unequal length.
2. A yard goods tensioning device comprising a split band ring having an end portion overlapping an inner end, the overlapping end portion carrying an element yieldably contacting the ring adjacent said inner end.
. jacent said inner end, said element being a plate fiat surface, but the principle of operation will are many advantages of this device and method over devices and methods ordinarily used. One
of these advantages is the equallized tensioningof the material as it is being worked upon and another is the versatility of the device, the many uses to which the device may be put being clear to anyone skilled in the art to which this invention appertains.
Though there has been shown a particular embodiment of this invention and modifications thereof, this application is not limited to this particular embodiment and modifications but it is desired to include in the scope of this invention the construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
Having thus described this invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. In a device of the character described, a split ring member, an element yieldably mounted on said member and having a surface adapted to yieldably contact and grip yard material drawn between said surface and a contiguous portion of said member, said member having a tangentially disposed portion, said element being secured to said last mentioned portion, which portion is recessed on the sides thereof adjacent said edge to having a serrated inner edge.
4. A yard goods tensioning device comprising a split band ring having an end overlapping an inner end, the overlapping end carrying an element yieldably contacting the ring adjacent said inner end, said element being a plate having a serrated inner edge, said edge being recessed to divide the edge into portions of unequal length. 5. A yard goods tensioning device comprising a split band ring having an end portion overlapping an inner end, the overlapping end portion carrying an element yieldably contacting the ring adjacent said inner end, said overlapping end portion being disposed substantially tangentially of the ring.
6. A yard goods tensioning device comprising a split band ring having an end portion overlapping an inner end, the overlapping end portion carrying an element yieldably contacting the ring adjacent said inner end, said overlapping end portion being disposed substantially tangentially of the ring, and said element being a plate secured to said overlappingend portion.
