EDWARD BURKE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y, ASSIGNOR TO UNION SPECIAL SEWING MACHINE COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
ATTAQHMENTFOR RUFFLIN'G AND SEWING MACHINES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,578, dated May 31, 1904.
' l Application filed July 23,1902. Serial No. 116,603. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known. that I, EDWARD BURKE, a citii zen of the United States, residing at New York, 1 in the county of New York, State of New; York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Rufflin g and Sewing Machines, of. which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
My invention relates to an improvement ini sewing-machines, and especlally to an attach-E ment for use up on ruffling and sewing machines of the type known as the Union Special,
and illustrated in patent granted R. G.Woodward July 3, 1900, Serial No. 655,143.
ing ruffles upon ladies petticoats. These garments are first seamed upon the sides, putting them into tubular shape, and upon this the ruflie must be sewed. After sewing entirely around the body of the skirt the starting-point is reached, and it is diflicult to close up or join seams, as the usual folder in use on such machines is in the way; and the object of the present invention is to provide an attachment for rufiiing-machines in which the folder which folds and guides the piece to be ruflied and also the stripper-blade which enables the ruffling of the piece to be accomplished can be swung to one side by the operator when the. end of the operation is nearly reached, so that the gap may be closed.
The invention is herein shown as applied to an arm which may be swung up and down by.
the presser-foot and which can be set in accordance with the thickness of the fabric to be sewed, substantially as shown in the Woodward patent, No. 690,812, of January 7 1902, or in the Woodward application, filed April 17, 1902, Serial No. 103,324.
The invention consists, primarily, of the combination, in a rufiling and sewing machine, of a'suitable base carrying the folding-guide for the piece to be ruffled and carrying also the stripper-blade, with means for swinging the base laterally to carry the folder and stripper-blade out of the lineof the seam.
Finally, the invention consists in the matters hereinafter described, and referred to in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a rufflingand sewing machine embodying my invention with the parts in p0 81131011, and Fig. 2 is a simllar view showing the parts swung out of position. v
In the drawings the needle-lever A, gooseneck B, rufliing mechanism'C, cloth-plate D,
needle-bar E, presser-bar F, presser-foot G, and needle a are similar to'those illustrated in Patent No. 655,113, above referred to. The angular arm I is pivotally secured inthe usual manner to a part of the machine frame and The present invention is designed particu-i 'larly to provide an attachment for use in sew- 5 has a transverse projection 1, towhich is pivoted, by means of the pivot-screw 2, the basepiece ,3, which has a transverse portion A: in line of the seam, to the under side of .which is attached by a set-screw b the stripper-blade it, while upon the upper face is attached the folding-guide 5, which folds and guides the piece to be ruffled and sewed to the body of the skirt.
6 represents a finger-piece to be manipulated by the operator in swinging the attachment back and forth into and out of position, and the attachment is held in operative position by means of the clampingspring 7, which bears on the pin 8.
It will be understood that so far as the vertical movement of the attachment is concerned it is substantially the same as illustrated in the Woodward patent, N 0. 690,812, above referred to, and that by means of the adjustable piece or stop 10 the attachment can be adjusted up and down in accordance with the thickness of fabric passing beneath it. This feature forms no part of the present invention and has not been further described or illustrated, as it isfnlly set forth in the case of Woodward, Serial No. 103,324, above referred to. When it is desired to ruflie and sew the ruffled piece "to the body of the skirt, the piece to be ruffled is inserted in the folding-guide and is fed above the stripper-plate, the ruffling-blade acting in conjunction with the stripper-blade to perform the ruffling and the stitch-forming mechanism uniting the rufl'led piece to the body of the garment. In sewing a piece in a circle around the body of the skirt it is desirable that the ends shall not overlap, but that the work shall be finished neatly, and therefore when the end of the operation is nearly reached the operator swings the attachment carrying the stripper-blade and folding-guide to one side and the work is finished in sight, and if it is desired that the piece adjacent the end should be ruflled it can be ruflied in with the fingers.
While I have shown, described, and intend to claim the folding-guide for the edge of the fabric, it will of course be understood that the folding-guide need not necessarily be arranged on the laterally-movable piece, the important feature being to provide for the swinging out of the line of scam of the stripper-blade.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a rufliing and sewing machine, a ruffling mechanism and means for operating it, a supporting-arm, a base-piece pivoted thereto, and a folding-guide and stripper-blade se cured to said base; substantially as described.
2. In a rufiiing and sewing machine, a ruffling mechanism and means for operating it, a suitable base, carrying the folding-guide for the piece to be ruffled and carrying also the stripper-blade, with means for swinging the base laterally to carry the folder and stripperblade out of the line of the seam, and a vertically-swinging arm supporting-the same; substantially as described.
3. In a ruflling and sewing machine, a ruffling mechanism and means for operating it, a movable supporting-arm, a base-piece pivoted thereto to swing laterally out of the line of the seam, and a stripper-blade secured to said pivoted base; substantially as described.
4. In a ruffling and sewing machine, a ruffling mechanism and means for operating it, a movable supporting-arm, a base-piece pivoted thereto to swing laterally out of the line of the seam, and a stripper-blade secured to said pivoted base, and a clamping-spring and pin for holding the base in operative position; substantially as described.
5. In a combined ruffling and sewing machine, the combination with the rufiling and sewing mechanism, and means for operating said rufliing mechanism, of a supporting-arm, having a transverse projection, a base-piece pivoted thereto having a transverse portion in line with the seam, a stripper-blade on said transverse portion, a spring on the supporting-arm, and a pin engaging therewith supported on the base-piece; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDWARD BURKE.
