- GUIDE FOR SEWING MACHINES.
,9'70. Patented Dec. 25, 1888.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN M. GRIEST, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO THE SINGER MANU- FACTURING COMPANY OF NEIV JERSEY.
GUIDE FOR SEWING-MACHINES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 394,970, dated December 25, 1
Application filed December 27, 1887. Serial No. 259,095. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN M. GRIEST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,
5 have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Quilting-Guides for Sewing- Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the ac companying drawings.
The object of my invention .is to provide a convenient quilter or quilter-guide for sewing-machines, adapted to be readily secured in operative position or removed from the machine, and also adapted to be used as a 1-5 quilting-guide or as an ordinary edge-guide.
To this end I provide a bracket or support (which is adapted to be secured to an attachment-holding bar) with a notched or forked portion to embrace a tenon on said bar. The
said bracket is also provid ed with ears,th rough which is passed the guide-carrying bar, and between the said ears is arranged a clamping device to secure the said guide-carrying bar in any position to which it may be adjusted.
2 5 The guide has square corners on one side and rounded corners on the other, and is pivoted on its holding or carrying bar, so that it may be turned either side downward. When it is to be used as a quilting-guide, the side with the rounded corners is turned downward, so that the work passing beneath same will not catch thereon; but when it is to be used as an edge-guide the side with square corners is turned downward, so that the edges of the 3 5 fabric to be guided cannot get under it.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my improved device with the guide arranged for quilting, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same through the clam )in -screw and showin the 'uide arranged for use as an edge-guide. Figs. 3
and 4 are views similar to Figs. 1 and 2, illustrating another form of my invention; and
Figs. 5 and (3 are like views illustrating still another modification.
A denotes the bracket or support, having a forked portion, a, by which it maybe attached to an attaclnncut-holding bar, and having also perforated cars a, through which passes the bar B, the latter being bent around to form a return-arm, Z), to the end of which the guide C is somewhat loosely riveted, so that it may be turned either side up, the said arm thus serving as a pivotal support for the said guide, and the corners of the latter being square on one side or edge and rounded on the other.
In the forms of my invention shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 the guide-carrying rod or bar Bis held in place in the bracket A by a clamping device consisting of a screw, d, placed between the ears a and having a perforated head or loop, d, through which the said rod or bar passes, the said screw being furnished with a set-nut, e, which may be tightened to draw the said head or loop firmly against the said rod and hold the latter in place. In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the set-nut impinges against a cap or housing plate, f, which, in connection with the cars a, completely incloses the loop or head of the screw and forms a neat finish to the bracket, the end of the head or loop entering a slot in the front of the bracket to hold the screw from turning or from lateral displacement when the rod is adjusted. In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 3 and at the set-nut bears against the back of the bracket.
In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the screw d is riveted into the front of the bracket, and the latter has between the cars a an upturned portion, 0 against which the set-nut f impinges, and which, when the said nut is tightened, is forced against the rod 13, to secure the latter in place. In all of these forms of my invention the rods or bars B will be free to be adjusted through the ears of the brackets, to bring the guide 0 nearer to or farther from the needle when the set- 0 nut-s are loosened, but will be held securely in place when the said set-nuts are tightened, as will be obvious.
\Vhen the device is to be used as a quilter or quilting-guide, the guide proper, I, is 5 turned so that its rounded corners will be downward, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 5, so that the wor passing beneath said guide will not catch thereon; but when it is desired to employ the said guide C as an edge-guide it will be turned so that its square corners are down, as in Figs. 2, 4, and 6, and when in this position it will. be adjusted close to the workplate of the machine, and the square corners will prevent the edges of the fabrics to be .guided from getting under the said guide.
I claim- 1. A quilting-guide for sewing-machines, eonsistin ot' the eon'ibination of the supporting-bracket A, having the notehed or t'orked portion a and the perforated ears to, the rod B, passing freely through said ears and provided with the return-arm Z), a clamping part which is supported by said bracket, and. which impinges against said rod between said ears, a screw and set-nut t'or tightening said elamping part; against said rod to secure the latter in any position to which it may be adjusted, and a guide at the end of said arm.
A quilting guide or gage 't'or sewilig-machines, eonsistin g of the bracket A, having the notched or forked portion (1 and the pert'orated ears (1, the rod B, passing freely through said ears and provided with the arm 0, a
clamping partimpingingagainst said rod between said ears, :1 serew and set-nut [for tightening said clamping part against said rod to seeu re the latter in any position to whieh it may be adjusted, and a guide pivotally attaehed to said arm I) and provided with square eorners on one side and rounded (or- 11ers on the other side.
3. The eombination with the supporting l'n'aeket having the perforated ears, of the rod passing through said ears, :1 guide earried by said rod, a serew having a perforated head or loop arranged between said ears and surroumling said rod, a set-nut on the said screw, and a cap or housing plate against which said nut: impinges.
In testimony whermt'I al'tix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
