Be it known that I, Josnrrr S. Snorrnrr, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Cord Attachments for Sewing- Machines; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and theletters of reference marked thereon, to be a, full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a perspective view; Fig. 2, a front end View; Fig. 3, a side View from the right; Fig. i, a transverse section illustrating the method of making a hem-stitched cord; Figs. 71., turning downward and rearward beneath Sand 6, transverse sections illustrating the i the presser-foot, as seen in Fig. 3, the slot exmethod of making a plain cord. tending across the presser-foot to about the This invention-relates to animprovementin' line of the cord. The needle passes down the attachment for sewing-machines for the through this slot; but the opening into the slot manufacture of what is commonly called from the top must be between the needle and piping-cordL-that is to say, a cordinclosed the folder. The presser-foot is. fitted with a bya strip of fabric doubled around the cord, shank, C, for attachment to the spindle; or and aline of'stitc-hes runthrough the two t-hickthe presser-foot may be otherwise attached. nesses close to the cord-the object of the at- In use the strip to cover the fabric is introtachment being to make what is commonly vduced,in the usual manner, between the wings known as hem-stitched cord that is to f f, as seen in Fig. 3, with the cord between say, as seen in Fig. 4, in which a represents them andiu the tubularportion. The doubled strip (1 is introduced through the sloth, as seen in broken lines, Fig. 3, and so'as to bring its edge close to the cord, and so that as the cord and its covering are fed along the strip d will be correspondingly fed, and the line of stitches will be laid through the strip (I- close to its edge and make the hem-stitched cord. I preferably construct the foot with a transverse slot, i,upon the opposite side, to lay the strip of fabric upon the cord in the usual manner, so that after the strip has been stitched to the cord-covering, as seen in Fig. 5, the strip may be turned over, as seen in Fig. 5, in which case the stitches are hidden. This is common cord attachments, and so that the strip of fabric to cover the cord is folded, introduced between the two wings, the doubled edge into the tubular part c, with the cord be tween, the cord serving to hold that doubled portion in the tubular part and fold the fabric around the cord, as in common cord attach ments. Beyondthe folder, and on the edge opposite the tubular portion, is a transverse slot,

(1, the doubled strip to be attached to the cord, the doubled edge laid upon the covering of the cord and close up to the cord, and so that a line of stitches may be run near the edge of the doubled strip 1 and through the fabric 1), so as to stitch the two together, and when so stitched the line of stitches and the doubled and make what is commonly called heinstitched cord; and the invention consists in a folder to receive the cord and double the fabric which forms the covering and conduct it to the needle, with a transverse guide between the folder and the needle, leading from above the common andnsual construction, and by the cord-folder to beneath the p'resser-foot, retaining that slot in my improved attachwhereby the folded strip to be attached to the ment I am enabledby this attachment to make cord may be introduced between the folder i either the plain or hem stitch cord.

A represents the presser-foot, to which the i lar portion 6, as seen in Fig. 2, and as in the presser foot.constructed with a transverse slot,

of the tubular portion 0 and wings ff, formed as an integral part of said tubular portion, parallel with and distant from each other less than the internal diameter of the tubular portion, the space between the wings opening into said tubular portion, the said corder attached to or made a part of the presser-foot A, the said the corder, substantially as described.
