ATTACHMENT HOLDER FOR SEWING MACHINES.
No.445,95(). Patentedf'eb. a, 1891.-
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH R. IIEBERT, OF BROOKLYN, NEYV YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE DOMESTIC SElVING MACHINE COMPANY, OF OHIO.
ATTACHMENT-HOLDER FOR SEWING-MACHINES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,950, dated February 3, 1891.
Application filed March 8, 1886. Serial No. 194,406. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J osEPH R. lie-BERT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachment Holders for Sewing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
Myinvention relates to that class of attachments for sewing-machines for holding in connection with the presser-bar diflr'erent guides, ruffiers, &c., in manner to be readily connected and disconnected without the employment of screw or other means distinct from the foot or frame and the stem of the part to be connected therewith; and it consists in the construction of a device in general appearance the same or similar to the ordinary presserfoot of the sewing-machine, which foot or frame I provide with a hole and a notclnwith which thestem of the guide or the device connects, and by which the necessary parts are combined and held together for operative practice.
The object of my improvement is to'provide a simple ready means for attaching and removing required operative parts used in connection with the stitching mechanism of sewing-machines without the aid of screw or equivalent means for fastening the same in position and yet capable of being adj ust-ed in their relation to the needle.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 represents a top view of my improved holder with the hemming-guide connecting; and Fig. 2 side or edge view of the holder, showing the opening for the end of the stem of the attachment and the notch into which the angle of the stem is sprung and by which the at tachment is held in a fixed position to the I said holder; and Fig. 3 represents a top view of a guide and stem for connection with the holder. Figs. 4 and 5 represent modifications of Fig. 1.
In the drawings, A represents a foot adapted to be held detachable to the presser-bar of a sewinganachine provided with a hole indicated at a, which hole serves as a socket to receive the stem end of the guide'or other device to be connected therewith, and b is a notch arranged across the toe end of the holder adapted to receive one of the angular or crooked parts of the stem of the guide or other device to be held, and c is an opening through which the needle passes when in position for operation, and (Z and 6 represent angles with which the stem partof the guide is provided, andfis a hemming-guide.
The device to be attached to the holder is of course supposed to be provided with the bent or crooked stem or its equivalenuwhich may be more or less varied-for instance, a stem provided with a single bend will serve providing the end of the device or guide to be secured in position is provided with a flange or equivalent means for intersecting the notch simultaneously with the stem, as it will appear obvious to the user, that in order to adjust the guide into position the free end of the stem is entered into the hole to receive it, either simultaneously with the intersection of the part adapted to intersect with the notch at the toe of the holder, or it may be entered with the guide raised above and afterward sprung into the notch by hand, the uniting parts being soconstructed as to require a little force, sufficient to hold them in proper position byfriction,by reason of the elastic grip produced, caused by thespan between the hole and notch being slightly greater than the span between the angles or surfaces which engage the former. Thus it will be seen that inasmuch as the attachments generally require more or less adjustment sidewise in order to enable the needle to penetrate the material operated upon at a certain point, or for a wider when attached to operate at a certain distance from the line of stitching, it is important to provide means for such adjustment, which is not only simple but effective and reliable, and to accomplish the end sought I have produced the combination and arrangement of parts hereinbefore specified and illustrated in the drawings.
Of course it will appear obvious to those skilled in the art that the means devised for the practice of my invention will apply to all or nearly every kind of attachment for use in connection with the stitching mechanism of a sewing-machine.
Having; thus set forth my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
An attaclnnent-holder for sewing-inaohi nes,
5 consisting of a presser-foot provided with a transverse hole or opening therein near its heel and With a transverse notch or groove in its toe, in combination with a U-shaped rod or stem of springy metal carrying an attachment adapted to engage with said open- 10 ing and groove, in a manner substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
