DANIEL M. SHIBE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO J. D. SI-IIBE & 00., OF SAME PLACE.
BASE-BALL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 415,884, dated November 26, 1889.
Application filed July 12, 1889- $eria1No. 317,275. (No model.)
citizen of the United States of America, re-
siding at Philadelphia, in the county of Phila delphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Base-Balls, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has relation to improvements in base-balls, and the object is to provide a baseball having the sections or parts of the cover sewed with double lines of stitches of particular character, as will be fully set forth hereinafter.
So far as I am aware, the covers of baseballs are sewed by a single line of stitches 011 the seams or edges of the part of the cover, which single line of stitches proves inadequ ate to fully serve the purpose. The material of the cover tears out or the thread breaks, owing to the rough usage the ball is subjected to.
It is the purpose of my invention to prevent the seams from breaking by using re-enforced seams; and my invention therefore consists in a base-ball having the seams secured by a line of cat-stitches and lines of saddlers stitches arranged parallel to the catstitch, as hereinafter described.
I have fully illustrated my invent-ion in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view of a section or part of the cover. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the ball sewed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 3 is a View of the ball partially completed, with the unsewed edges turned back and opened to show the crossings of the saddlers stitch.
A designates the base-ball, covered with two sections of material of the shape shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The sections are of the usual double ovate cylindraceous shape, arranged on the ball in reverse rela tion, with the ends abutting the central and narrow portion of each other. On each outer section of the cover is cemented an inner piece 1, of the same shape as the outer piece, but shorter and narrower, so as to leave the latter project beyond the edges all the way around, as at 2, the purpose of the extension or flange being to make the seam flat and smooth with the surface of the cover. The
sections of the cover being arranged as required and the ball with the cover being se cured in a suitable sewing-horse, lines of saddlers stitches 3 4 are sewed entirely around the sections, the needle entering just at the edge of the inner piece 1 and carried across under the meeting edges through the opposite side and the edges of the cover drawn up together, the sewing being extended entirely around the sections. This seam draws the cover tight on the ball and draws the edges of the sections close together. After the cover has been thus secured to the ball by the saddlers stitch the edges of the sections are sewed together by a line of cat-stitches 5, after which the ball is smoothed down at the seam by the usual means.
It will be perceived from the foregoing that the cover is secured by two lines of stitches, which strengthen each other, and that by running the lines of saddlerstitches parallel with the edges greater bite and bearing are obtained in the material of the cover, while the inner cat-stitch aids to keep 1. As an improved article of manufacture,
the base-ball herein described, consisting of a ball having the sections of its cover secured by a line of saddlers stitches running parallel with the edges of the sections of the cover, and the edges of the cover secured by a line of cat-stitches, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
2. As an improved article of manufacture, a base-ball having a cover formed of sections composed of outer sections to cover the ball and inner sections smaller than the outer sections and connected thereto, a line of saddler-stitches running parallel with the edges of the sections, and a line of cat-stitches securing the edges of the sections together, substantially as described, and ,for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two attesting witnesses.
