METHOD OF MAKING NEEDLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,471, dated November 1, 1887.
Application filed June 8, 1887.
To a-ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE F. I-IUssEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of East Braintree, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Method of Making Needles, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a novel method of making needles for sewing buttons on shoes and for other purposes; and it consists in formingatube, then compressing and flattening one end thereof to bring the 1 walls in contact, then cutting away one edge of the flattened and compressed end on an oblique line, and finally sharpening to a point, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the manner of carrying myinvention into effect, Figure 1 represents a sectional side elevation of the cylindrical metal tube closed around the end of the thread or braid, and Fig. 2 represents an end View of such tube.
Fig.3 represents aside View ofsaid tube, showing its free end flattened; and Fig. 4 represents an end view of such flattened end of the tube. Fig. 5represents a sideview of thetube after its flattened portion has been cut off 0 obliquely for forming the pointed end,and Fig.
6 represents a side view of the finished needle after its oblique end has been ground and sharpened.
Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the different parts of the drawings.
In carrying out my invention I take astrip of thin steel or other suitable metal and form it into the shape of a hollow tube, a, (shown 40 in Figs. 1 and 2,) a part of which is closed around the thread or braid b in the same manner as metal-pointed shoc-lacings are made.
Serial No. 240,469. (No model.)
The free end of the said metal tube a is after" ward compressed and flattened to bring its opposite walls into contact, as shown at a in Figs. 3 and 4, after which a portion of said flattened and compressed end is cut away or obliquely removed, as shown at a in Fig. 5, after which the edges of the obliquely-cut part of the flattened and compressed tube isground and properly sharpened to apoint, a. (Shown in Fig. 6.) In this manner I produce asimple sharp-pointed and ready'thrcaded needle for the purpose mentioned, or for any purpose where a ready-threaded needle is wanted. By the method as described for forming thepoint I am able to make the latter to all intents and purposes equal to'a solid one, although made from a flattened and obliquclycut tube ofsteel or other metal.
In making the improved needle I makeuse of automaticmachinery, which, however, does not form a subject'matter of this invention.
I am aware of Letters Patents No. 38,309 and No. 342,773, 'and do not wishto be under- 6 stood as claiming what is therein disclosed.
Vhat I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim is- The method herein described of making needles, which consists in forming a tube, then 0 compressing and flattening one end thereof to bring the walls in contact, then cutting away one edge of the flattened and compressed end on an oblique line,and finally sharpening to a point, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesscs, on this 23d day of May, A D. 1887.
