IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED SEWING-WORK HOLDER AND SCISSORS-SHARPENER.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 57,591, dated August 28, 1866.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Beit known that 1, CHARLES E. STAPLES, ot' Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Combined Cloth Holder for Sewing Purposes and Scissors-Sharpener;
improved combined holder for cloth when being sewed or stitched and a device for the sharpening of the cutting-edges of scissors, the usefulness and convenience of which combination are self-evident to all.
In accompanying plate of drawings my comY bined sewing-work holder and scissors-sharpener is illustrated, Figure] being an elevation ofthe front side of the same; Fig. 2, an edge view ofthe same; Fig. 3, a similar view to Fi 1, but with a different form of scissorssharpenerg' and Fig. 4, an edge view of the combined holder' and scissors-Sharpener shown in Fig. 3.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
A in the drawings represents the frame of the work-holder, which can be made of any suitable design and shape. To the upper end, B, of this frame A is hung upon a center or fulcrum pin, a., a scroll sector-shaped cam or arm, C, having its lower edge or periphery roughened or serrated, between which and the edge Doi' the holder-frame A the cloth that is to be. sewed or stitched is firmly held by simpl y pullin g the cloth with sutticientstrength in the proper direction to cause the cam C to come to a tight and close bearing against it,
lygonal-shaped steel-plate, I, each edge b of which is beveled, forming a sharp cuttingedge, c, to the same, so that by properly drawing the cutting-edges of the blades of scissors over and across any one of them they will be sharpened thereby.
J is an opening or slot made in the holderframe, just above the scissors-Sharpener plate I, attached thereto, above the lower side ot' which opening one edge of the said plate I projects, the scissors-blades, when to be sharp` cned, being drawn over and .across the said edge through the'said opening J, the side K of which serves as a guide to the same.
VVhenthe edge of the Sharpening-plate I, projecting above the opening J of the holderframe A, 11a-s become dull or unfit to be used, by unloosenin g the set-screw H, by which it. is secured to the frame A, and turning the plate upon it as a center, the next edge ot' the plate can be brought in to suit-able position for being used, and there secured by tightening the said set-screw H, and so on through all the edges of the plate, as is obvious.
From the above description of my improved combined work-holder and scissorssharpener it is obvious that a simple, cheap, economical, convenient, and useful device or implement is produced for use while sewing upon cloth of all kinds, and'in the making ot' many articles of wearing-apparel. I
In lieu of the polygonal-shaped plate I, for sharpening scissors, a straight plate, M, of a similar character, may be used, which plate is secured to the back of the holder-frame, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4; or the said sharpening-plate may be made of a round, oblong, or other suitable shape, so long as the proper edge is given to it to sharpen the blades of scissors when drawn over or across it.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl i A combined cam -formed cloth -holder for sewing purposes and a scissors-Sharpener, all constructed substantially as described.
CHARLES E. STAPLES. Witnesses:
WM. FLYNN, CHARLES STAPLES.
