IIVIPROVED DEVICE FOR HOLDING ROLLED WORK WHILE BEING STITCHED.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58, H17, dated September 18, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, W. M. MOGOY, of Bloomingdale,in the coun tyof Parke and State of I ndiana, have invented anew and Improved Dewvice for Holding Rolled Work while being Stitched; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifica-tion, in which- Figure l is aA side elevation of my device. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the plane of the line x, Fig. 1. Fig.8 is atra nsverse vertical section taken on the plane ot' the line yy, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention is designed for the use of h arnese-makers for holding rolled Work while stitching the same; and it consists in adevice provided with a grooved bed for the work to lie in, and at either end with a band orits equivalent operated by a set-screw forholding the work firmly While being stitched.

A designates a bed-piece of any suitable material, say `cast-iron, and this is provided along its upper face, and running parallel with its length, with a groove, a., into which the rolled work is placed, as shown in red in the several figures, particularly in Fig. rlhrough an enlarged portion of each end of this bed-piece A there is made a slot or bore, b, and into this there is fitted' to slide up and down a band, b, which, in the present instance,

has a rounding top and a Hat base. The top is made rounding to correspond to the rolled work. G is a set-screw projecting into the base of the band b and engaging with a screwthread cut thereon. This set-screw O carries a thumb-piece, c, for turning it, and it has a collar, l), secured to it, which is fitted in the mouth ofthe bore iu such manner as to preventthe screw from losingits proper position.

From the above description it will be seen that it' the rolled work be placed in the groove a with the parts to be stitched together Lippermost., the work may be quickly clamped and held iirmly by merely turning the set-screw C in the proper manner.

The whole device may be held in a clamp in the usual manner.

rlhe advantages of a device of the kind illustrated are many. It is simple, easily operated, and by its use much trouble and ve-Xation to harness-makers will be avoided.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A device for holding rolled work while being stitched, constructed and operating substantiall y as specifiedthat is to say, the bed-piece A, having a groove, a, along its upper face, and provided with a tighteningband, B, operated by a set-screw, U, substantially as shown and described.
