SEWING-MACHINE GUIDE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 15', 1906.

Application filed July 29,1905. Serial No. 271,825.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PHILIP SANDLER, a citizen of Russia, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine Guides, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a handy attachment for placement on the bed- 7 late of a sewing-machine by which the work being fed to the needle may be properly guided and at the same time be easily moved out of the way in making the necessary turns and corners often required in sewing. I accomplish this object by means of the device de scribed herein and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the fragment of a bed-plate of a sewing-machine with my improved guide in place thereon. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of my improved guide in its closed position detached from the machine. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the guide in its open position. Fig. 4 is a plan of a fragment of my guide in place on the bed-plate of the machine, the main portion of the guide being thrown backwardly out of the way, being the position in which the guide will be thrown to sew around a corner in the fabric upon which the work is being done.

In the drawings, A is the bed-plate of the sewing-machine, the presser-foot and needle of the sewing-machine being shown, other parts of the machine being omitted as unnecessary to illustrate my device.

B is my improved guide. (Shown in Fig. 1 in place on the bed-plate in position for use.) It is adjustably secured to the bed-plate by means of the thumb-screw C. A longitudinal slot B is provided in the guide therefor. My guide comprises three members 1, 2-, and being the main body portion and carries on its inner end pivotally secured thereto, the inner end of the guide members 2 and 3, these members being pivoted on the rivets 4 and 5. On the free end of these members are mounted the

guides

6 and 7.

My guide being in place on the bed-plate of the machine and secured thereon by the thumb-screw C, as shown in Fig. 1, the work being operated on is fed to the needle in the usual manner. The guide 6 being placed with reference to the needle to give the proper distance of the stitch fromthe edge of the work, the work will be fed along the bed-plate in the usual manner. This guide will afford ample facility for properly guiding the work when the sewing is done rapidly and will uniformly guide the work to the needle; but when a corner is approached in the edge of the fabric being sewed it will be necessary that the guide 6 be moved out of the way, so that the needle can run into the corner and keep the seam the proper distance from the edge of the fabric being sewed. To this end I have provided means to swing the guide 6 around out of the way, leaving the guide 7 as a pivot, around which the work can be turned. This position of the work with reference to the needle and the guide is shown in Fig. 4, the fabric operated on being indicated by the numeral 9. In case the guide 7, which is used as pivot in Fig. 4, should be in the way and prevent the fabric from being properly guided to the needle, so as to run the seam around the proper distance from the edge of the fabric eing sewed, the guide 7 can be thrown backwardly out of the way, and thereby remove both members of the guide from interference with the sewing. This position of the members of the guide is shown in Fig. 3.

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

In a device of the character herein described, a fabric-guide for sewing-machines, comprising a body member having a slot centrally and longitudinally arranged therein; and two guide members pivotally connected to the body member at the rear end thereof, one on each side, both members projecting in front of said body member when closed upon the same, one of said members having an upwardly-projecting stud forming the front edge thereof, the other member having an upwardly-turned flange forming the front edge of said member, said members being adapted to be swung toward the body member 1n contact therewith.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 22d day of July, 1905.

PHILIP SANDLER.
