IMPROVEMENT IN RUFFLING ATTACHMENTS FOR SEWING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 98,389, dated December 28, 1869.
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, AMASA G. KAssoN, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, 'haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Rutflers for Sewing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part ofthis specification, and to the'letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicatinglike parts wherever they occur.
To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed-to describe it.
My invention relates to rufflers for use on sewing-machines; and it consists in a novel manner of constructing the same, as hereinafl te'r explained.
Figure 1 is a top plan View; Fig. 2, an end view, and Fig. 3 a plan view of a part detached and slightly modified.
The present invention may be considered as an improvement on the rather patented to J. O. Fairbairn, August 3-1, 1869, the object being to produce an instrument that will do the work more accurately and with less skill or care on the part of the operator.
In all devices of this kind hitherto made great care is required in order to make the cloth pass straight and ruffle evenly.
To make myimproved ruifier I take a piece of sheet metal and cut it into an oblong rectangular form, as represented by A, with a projection on its back edge at the front end of the form represented by the part B, Figs. 1 and 3. In this plate A, at its outer end, I cut a slot, e, thus dividing the-outer end into two parts, (I and D, as shown in Fig. 1, and in the projecting part of A, I out another slot at right angles to the slot 0, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. I then provide another piece, B, of the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3,
and secure it by a rivet, 0, to the plate A, as represented in Fig. 1, it having a projecting lip or part fitting directly over and corresponding to that on the plate A. In the center of the side part of this piete B, I make a hole, a, for the needle to work through, this hole being at the rear end of the slot in the part under it; or, if preferred, instead of the needle-hole a it may have a slot cut in it, as represented in Fig. 3, and which, when the piece B is secured in place, will correspond with the slot underneath it. A pin, it, is secured to the plate A, and projects loosely through a hole in the plate B, as shown, this pin serving as a guide for the inner edge of the fabric, and also to prevent the piece B from being accidentally misplaced.
In using the rufflerit is secured upon the machine, as usual, in proper position to have the needle work through the hole a. The two pieces or" cloth are then inserted, the side piece, or thatwhich is to form the ruffle, being drawn through the slot 6 and along under the lip O, and thence out under the projection on the back edge. The other piece, to which the ruffie is to be sewed, is slipped between the plates A and B, and thence out between the projections on said plates. The feed operates upon the under piece, while the presser-foot, instead of resting on the upper cloth at all, rests upon the plate B, and the upper strip passing between the two platesAand B, which bear upon it evenly on both sides of the neodle, from between which it issues with the utmost regularity without any tendency to turn to the right or left. 1 find by practice that with a rufl ler thus made the work can be performed by an operator of less skill, or with less care and more perfectly than any other with which I am acquainted.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is-- 1. A ruffler for sewing-machines, consisting of the plate A, with the projection on its rear edge, and the plate B, having a corresponding projection, and with the slots in plate A, said plates being arranged as described.
2. Aruftlercoustructedwith two projections or plates of uniform shape and size, or nearly so, for the upper fabric to pass between, said projections or plates bearing on the fabric equally on each side of the needle, substan* tially as herein described.
