the central tube of the machine.

The varying thicknesses of the braids or ribbons to be thus secured to the material make it highly desirable that the guide which presents the braid or ribbon to the needle should be adjustable with regard to the same; and the particular object of my invention is the provision of means for accurately adjusting said guide relative to the needle and holding the same fixedly in its adjusted position.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating one embodiment of my invention, and where1n Figure 1 is a front elevational view, partly in section, of the improved guide applied to Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig 1. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but with a modified. form of guide for use with two braids or ribbons. Fig. 4 is a view at right angles to Fig. 3 and Fi 5 is a transverse sectional View on the line a Fig. 2. j

Referring to the drawings, the braid 1 passes through the central tube 23 in the wellknown manner and reaches the guide 2, within which in the present embodiment a thread ed needle 3 performs its up and down motionsi In moving through, the guide 2 the braid or ribbon 1 passes over the bridge 17, at which point the needle 3 passes through the braid or ribbon, sewing it to the material, as set forth in my United States patent above referred to. The guide 2 is secured to the central tube 23 by means of two screws 24 and 25, the former passing through an elongated slot in the guide, which slot permits the desired adjustment of said guide.

Heretofore when very thin braid was to be stitched to the cloth it was difficult, if not impossible, to fix the guide 2 with such accuracy relative to the needle that thelatter would not, on the one hand, strike the bridge 17 or, on the other hand, miss the braid altogether,

and accordingly the provision of effective ad usting means was rendered necessary to obviate these possibilities and in order that the needle should pass through the braid to form an invisible stitch. To this end there is secured to central tube 23 an arm 26, through which passes the adj usting-screw 27, one end of which engages the side of the guide 2, as shown. It will thus be apparent that by manipulating set-screw 27 guide 2 can be adjusted with the greatest accuracy about screw 25 as a pivot, so that the needle will stitch through the braid to form an in- -visible stitch, and also that the guide maybe rigidly secured to the tube .23 by turning screw 24. in the direction of the arrow, 1, wherebyit will be brought to bear against setscrew 27. Besides constituting the adjusting medium, the presence of set-screw 27 exactly'positions and prevents the guide 2 from being pushed to one side when the screw 24 is tightened, which displacement would occur were said set-screw not'present.

Figs. 3 and 4 show an arrangement of the guide 2 for use when two or more braids or ribbons are to be sewed on the cloth at the same time, one above the other. The up er braid or ribbon 1 passes through the e 2 in the manner above referred to, and t e sec- 0nd braid orribbon 28 passes around'bridge" V 29 and under braid 1, as shown.

What is claimed is 1. In machines for sewing braid or the like to fabric, a needle and means for operating the same, a guide ha an o ening therein through which the brai is fe and a bar or bridge across said opening over which the braid is bent in position for the needle to pass into and out of the same at its under surface, said guide being adjustable toward and from the needle.

2. In machines for sewing braid or the like to fabric, a needle and means for operating the same, a pivoted guide having an o ening therein through which the braid is fed and a bar or bridge across said opening over which the braid is bent in position for the needle to pass into and out of the same at its under surface, and means for adjusting said guide rela tive to the needle.

3-. In machines for sewing braid or the like to fabric, a needle and means for operating the same, a guide havin an opening therein through which the brai is fed and a bar or brid e across said opening over which the brai is bent in position for the needle to pass IIO - needle.
