kinds whereby the fabric may be firmly but slidably held andalso, upon the completion of a certain ypredetermined linear Stretch of hemming, the device may be easily moved 'l y y l y ably heldy between 1` and 2 ,andhfolded inthe to the next consecutive ISt-retchto be worked on. y
Itis an object to provide a' device which shall hold a fabric firmly, but. detaehably and slidably, whereby predetermined amount of the fabrick to be hemmed shall protrude from the holding portions ofthe device.
Another object is to provide a device that may be positioned on a fabric by a simple motion, thereby holding the fabric firmly `and allowing a predetermined amount of the numbers indicate the same parts, it willbe seen that- Fig. l is a perspective view of my device.
Fig. 2 is a View of my device from above.
Fig. 3 is a section along the line A-A.
Fig. 4 is a section along the line B-B showing a piece of fabricvfolded and in a position for hemming.
1 and 2 are the sides or holding members of the device, held in predetermined resilient spacing by spring means 3 and 4, which in this case consist of loops of metal integral with l and 2.
l, apa-rt from the loops, is a flat stripiof material, and 2 is extended beyond the length of l by iiaps or ears 5 and 6 which are bent outwardly from the dividing line between l and 2 and back toward each other thus forming guides for the ready engagement of fabric to be held between l and 2. A further guide for the engagement of fabric is provided by turning the lower edge of 2 outwardly from the dividing line bei fum@ ktweenandfsliglitlyinfan Yupward i,
recaen, in arder teffenn aslight roll Qn'the lower edge of 2. L Thisfrollv?, together with'flapscr ears. 5
landr` 6 are provided to ,allow quick and easy engagement of the' 'device' on any fabric Y,
withcut permitting the thread of 'the fabric to become entangled for torn.'
8 isy a button er' raised. poiti'om stamped or fastenedo'n to side`2 forthe purposeko'f movingthe device alongthe edge of a fabric when, a predeterminedamount hemi ming hasvbeen,done thereon. y y but slid- 9 shows a piece of fabric general position infwhich h'emming.isI acn I The yfabric'fto' be hemmed'is folded'gsubstantially in'the form as shown in Fig. 4 and having the edges 19 and 20 to be joined together. v, y
vOneend ofthe folded fabric is then held by the thumb and forefinger ofthe left hand and the other end is held between the third and fourth fingers and the palm of the right hand, thedistance between the ends being of sufficient length to accommodate the device, which for practical purposes I find to be about three inches long, the device being held between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand.
The foldedfabric is held rigid and horizontal, as is also the device with flaps or ears pointing upwardly, and then flap 5 is pressed down and pushed in on the fabric whereby l and 2 are sufficientlyA sprung apart to allow entrance of the fabric therebetween.`
The entry having been started at an angle to the edge of the fabric, the engagement is completed by` pushing the device forward and the rear end at 6 inwardly when roll 7 permits the device to slide easily over the fabric, so that the final position of engagement is that the edge of the fabric is parallel to the edges of ly and 2 and pro-y along to a new position.
the material when my device is made-in various sizes, but an outstanding feature of my invention is that the height or depth of the loops or spring holding means 'determines the amount of fabric which shall protrude from the holding sides for the purpose of being hemmed, and also the distance between loops'determines the amount of fabric to be 4hemmed before moving the device If it be assumedvthat hemming is being done, starting at loop 4 and workingy toward necessary to do' iny order to obtain a new vpredetermined position onA the edge of the rolled fabric is to pass `,needle l0 through the fabric as shown in Fig. 4, and then press slidably on flaps 5 or 6 or button 8 in the direction of 3 from 4 until the forward face of loop 4 is engaged with needle 10,
thus limiting the advance of thedevice to a predetermined distance, which is the length of the recessed portion between loops 3 and 4. Y
It` will thus be Seen that flaps 5 and 6 not only aid in engaging the fabric but also, according to the' custom or habit of the user, maybe used'to move the device when engaged.
- Sidesl and 2- are preferably made parallel by vLetters Patent is :eloop 3, upon kreaching yloop 3' all that it is f Clamping means' for holding a fabric to be -hemmed comprising a one-piece stamping 4of metal adapted to have a central portion cutout and to 'belfolded .so Vthat it forms y two holding strips integrally and resiliently connected by loops, one of the strips having means for engaging the fabric curved away from they central plane between the two strips. A
In witness whereof, I have signed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
