This arrangement prevents the operation of the parting means too tardily or not at all, as has sometimes been the case in former devices of this general character.

By locating the heel, as herein shown, above the temple rather than below it the different parts are in plain view, so that errors of adjustment can be readily seen and corrected and the.blow of the actuator 011 the lay is brought nearer the line of movement of the temple-shank.

bar 0 first rocks on the ear I) and then slides, the rocking lifting the hook slightly before drawing it toward the blade at. The spring 8X gives a yielding movement to the heel 0 when it is actuated, so that it is not brought up with a heavy shock against the abutment b on the temple-shank.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A temple having a shank, a stand in which it slides, a fixed abutment on the upper side of the shank, and an adjacent, yieldingly-controlled heel adapted when moved in one direction to engage the abutment and slide the shank inward.

2. A temple, a stand in which it is mounted to slide, thread-parting means carried by the temple, a movable member of said'means having an upturn ed heel, and means to engage the heel to successively operate the thread-parting means and slide the temple in its stand.

3. A reciprocating temple having an abutment, a blade, an upturned hook cooperating therewith and slidable on the temple, an upturned heel movable with the hook and adapted to engage the abutment and move the temple forward, and a spring to maintain the hook normally inoperative.

4:. A temple provided with an upright blade, combined with a slide-bar having an upturned hook to cooperate with the blade, a shoe to slide on the temple, and an upturned heel by which the slide-bar is actuated.

5. A reciprocating temple having a fixed, and a spring-controlled movable thread-parting member, mounted upon it, the movable EDWARD S. STIMPSON.
